Lampião The grotesque adage that "a good thief is a dead thief" is common knowledge among media and institutional advocates for police omnipresence in Brazilian society. The tupiniquim (a common term in Brazil, which refers to native Tupiniquim Indians, often used in a self-deprecating, mocking context) adaptation of the equally grotesque Yankee phrase "a good Indian is a dead Indian."

bread into the soicity
written by Forrest Allen Brown, December 17, 2008
it has been the theroy of the bite

sence brasilian and the spanish cultures began and the kings took from every one .
the pope took from every church in his relm .
the ones on top always take from thoes below his or hers class
till you get to the bottom and then the ones on the bottom
take up the other way and rob from the class above them.

same in the courts payoffs , good old boy deals leaves the top crooks free and thoes with out in jail .

the only way to stop this is the cut off the head , make the ones
guilty the example the higher you are the longer time in jail and the more money , real property you loose .

and show the people it works and the government , police ,big business.
farmers , ranchers ,loose there place in brasilian class

The gayman with itchy genItalia living north of Italia.

I have the distinctive suspicion that CHC looks exactly like that picture of Lampião… But with an added bonus, CHC also likes to smell his own socks when nobody is watching!

Hehehe

CHC is a frustrade guy wich probably got married to a Brazilian woman & at the end he found out she was having sex with one of us.
That's why he is always upset, writting against Brazil & the poor starving Brazilian people.
I've already told him he should spend his time researching about rich e developed countries.
He spent years in good universities & now he is wasting his time about the 3 world...
I am not sure but he wrote once that he's got a coffee farm in Bahia.
MAN you should be carefull e avoid opening your mouth in that aerea people could chop you up .................actually anywhere in Brazil.... ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhahahhhhhh WE LOVE CHOPPIN UP FOREIGN

How about the English, still to this day, Americans are seen as the stupid cousin with no manners! They took the money and wood from the eastern states, sure you had a revolution, but so did Brazil!

We need another one, there must be an inhabited island somewhere, we should do what the English did to thieves, robbers, etc. they were sent to a Australia!

same in the courts payoffs , good old boy deals leaves the top crooks free and thoes with out in jail .


Sure we must be also talking about America here!


the only way to stop this is the cut off the head , make the ones
guilty the example the higher you are the longer time in jail and the more money , real property you loose .


Again, are you talking about the U.S.?

Sure the bailout in America is the biggest joke ever! Don't even go there Forrest, if you have money, you can commit high crimes in this country and ask for money for a bailout!

and show the people it works and the government , police ,big business.
farmers , ranchers ,loose there place in brasilian class smilies/cheesy.gif


Loose the place in the brazilian class? Those (rich) making money in Brazil continue to do so, even tough the economy isn't so good. The rich will continue to be rich, the middle class bears the grunt of the problems.

They are all dead, so f**k that.
Now Brazil have to deal with the thieves alive today. And not only thieves, the country is infested with murderers.

Brazil needs law reform ( and death penalty ) before better education, because schools can make thieves too, thieves wearing ties and smokings.
If the law was good, brazil would still be a paradise to live, but without drugs, prostitution and crime of all sort thriving in our society.

Good heros that should be posted to memory are those that chased down all these outlaws. The crime culture in Brazil is almost what they call " the brazilian way " of taking advantage or being a tramp.
