Brazzil

I haven't seen any Brazilian recently clashing with the police in protest for high interest rates, poverty, violence, corruption and political scandals. Instead, they were all partying naked on the streets and sending precious food to a ficticious goddess who supposedly lives in the oceans. Where are the elite students and the PT protesters when the PCC was spreading violence in Sao Paulo burning buses and killing people? Am I missing something here? Why are these people complaining about a visit of the president of the United States who wants to buy Brazilian ethanol, but they don't seem to care about the daily humiliation that the Brazilian government and its elites force down the throats of the Brazilian citizens?

couldn't have said it better!


These young university idiots don't have the balls nor the honesty to look within themselves and find the truth. It's much easier to point a finger. That way you don't have to make any changes, which are always painful to make.

Was not one of the schools in Carnival financialy supported by Chavez ? .. Perhaps he spread a few reals around SP to get a demonstration going

Bush PR show
or
lula dog and pony show

whitch one will the people get more money from .

As you know the Brazilian government. police and security WONT ALLOW millions of Brazilians to make street demonstrations....if it would be for critics against themselves !!!!!
Thus far easier when it is against the President of their largest trading partner, partner with whom they have THEY ALREADY HAVE THEIR HIGHEST TRADE SURPLUS !!!!!!

NOT VERY FAIR, BUT WHAT IS FAIR IN BRAZIL ??????? NOTHING !!!!!!!!

certainly much better than the CLOWN CHABEZ IN HIS CIRCUS !!!!!!

And if Brazilians disagree, fair enough, just sell as much of your exports goods to Chavez than to the USA !!!!!
Use his currency instead of the Us$ in your foreign reserves !!!!!!!


Laugh....laugh....laugh !!!!

certainly much better than the CLOWN CHAVEZ IN HIS CIRCUS !!!!!!

Hatred,hatred and hatred (plus ignorance) towards Brasil...

As continent-sized countries with a frontier tradition, Brazil and the United States have much in common. Among the many common themes in their histories are the westward movement of peoples immigrating from Europe, the importance of native peoples, the struggle for independence, the legacy of slavery, and the challenges of economic development. The United States and Brazil: Expanding Frontiers, Comparing Cultures explores and illustrates these themes by drawing upon the vast and unique collections of the partner institutions.

Importance of discussions between Americans and Brazilians

We may find answers for similar problems that both countries faced in the past. Brazil and the United States had more similarities in their history that we can even start imagining. A few different decisions in the past made this countries take different routes. An American that studies Brazil will understand better the United States and a Brazilian that studies American history will understand better Brazil. Dana I think you may like this link and it will show you with facts that Americans are not responsible for our problems, on the contrary history show us that they were always trying to help Brazil. Thomas Jefferson expressed that very clearly in his opinion on us, Jefferson used to call us brothers . Regarding the Military coup I suggest you review your opinion because you are wrong on blaming the US for it. Brazilian society wanted the military in power in 1964, maybe not in the 1970's but certainly in the 1960's.

the difference in Brazilians from Americans as i can see it

when the people came over from the northern European countries they were looking to found a new way of life , build cites , there own churches own there own land and be self governed .the rich from Europe brought indentured servants .

very few wanted to go back to Europe
before ww1 &2 tens of thousands more migrated to the USA to get away from old world rule

while people from Spain and Portugal came to conquer , bring back gold , silver , any thing of value ,
there time in the world was dictated by the king & queen , and buy the church , there lands were given to them through Royal proclamation . if they were rich they borough there slaves

if they did what they were told they were brought back home to court along with all the stolen goodies they were able to smuggle back into there prospective country's .

when Portugal was under attic thousands came to Brazil to escape war . most never went back

our two countries are so much alike it is like a brother and sister fighting .

while Brazil is older it was held back the old laws of kingdom ship , where one person told every body what to do and when .

in America we took all the different ideas from all the people and applied them until it worked

Brazil is just now getting at that point in its evolution , but the old guard do not want to let go of the power that have had for so long .

while we face it going the other way our government is doing its best to take away our individual freedoms

as Americans we can laugh at our selves and other people laugh at us they are just words

in Brazil people get offended if you laugh at them and there country .

Have a good night down there

Brazil is just now getting at that point in its evolution , but the old guard do not want to let go of the power that have had for so long .

Pathetic ignorant f**k! So the millions of immigrants that came here, not only portuguese, but arabs, germans, italians, japanese, etc, they were all "stealing to send back home"?

Get a f**king clue!

The same exploitation of being a colony the US suffered. Brainwashed moron.

read the history of the black ships .
how the pope granted total empire of japan to the portgues for trade
the arabs , germans , italians, ect did not come to brasil in numbers till after ww1 and then more after ww2

you never mention the confederates that came to brasil after the war of the states whom brought there own slaves but the brasilian goverment took them away and told them they had to by slaves in brasil and the goverment officals of brazil kept them and resold them .
and that to this day they have a confederate comunity in brasil

the british left the US along with the king and queen

do you ever do any thing for free ?
are you motivated by the thought of getting something from someone that you help brfore?

the arabs , germans , italians, ect did not come to brasil in numbers till after ww1 and then more after ww2

Get yourself a history book, idiot. Their migration started in the 19th century, since large portions of the south weren't inhabitted enough and the government wanted to put people there in order for foreigners not to claim it.

What an imbecile. Yes, a few of those americans came here, but most stayed there and we can see them posting crap in this site all the time.

and when did ww1 start ?

124 is a few , they still fly the confederate flag , and have there way of life glad they got out of the slave market

if they were germans , arabs, italians , would that not make them foreigners ?

Your point is well taken. We know some of the Confederate descendants in and around Santarem. And some of the Pomeranians in ES and some of the Polish around Curitiba. Truly Brazil has many faces.

Truly Brazil has many faces.

It sure does, but I am affraid you don't know it. In this very site there was another article about the celebration of 150 years of Arab immigration, you see, it's a lot more than a few "confederates" and a lot earlier than WW1.

This characterization some make about Brazil is truly non-sensical.

go in the phone book find me a bunch of arab names , most came took and left

now german , to the south , italans around natal .

french in belem

That's the stupidest thing I have ever heard. I have arab in my family and they didn't "took and left" anything. Probably the lebanese community doesn't exist, it is just our imagination.

Thomas Jefferson, author of the "wall of separation" that is revered as gospel by secularists and civil libertarians who want to purge Christianity from the public square, was firmly in favor of prohibiting public religious expression.

Right?

Hardly. But that's the message many in the so-called mainstream are preaching today.

I wonder how many Americans are familiar with the Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom? Authored by Thomas Jefferson, it appears on the wall of the Jefferson Memorial.

Here's an excerpt: "Almighty God hath created the mind free. All attempts to influence it by temporal punishments or burthens . . . are a departure from the plan of the Holy Author of our religion . . ."

Mr. Jefferson clearly believed that America was a gift from God and that it was God himself who granted us the ability to reason and properly live our lives.

While it was Mr. Jefferson who drafted the measure, James Madison piloted it through the Virginia Legislature in 1786. History shows that each of these men deemed the legislation to be among their most satisfying triumphs, with Mr. Jefferson even noting on his tombstone that he was the author not only of the Declaration of Independence but also of the Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom.

I have been reading Newt Gingrich's latest book, "Rediscovering God in America: Reflections on the Role of Faith in Our Nation's History and Future." I believe every Christian in America should get a copy of this book in order to fully understand the rich Judeo-Christian influence on the burgeoning nation.

Mr. Gingrich takes readers on a journey through Washington, D.C., to observe a variety of monuments and relics, beginning with the National Archives. There, we see the undying words of the Declaration of Independence: we "are endowed by our Creator with certain unalienable rights."

Our nation's Capitol is full of these examples: from the striking statue of Moses holding the Ten Commandments looking over the rotunda of the Library of Congress, to the depiction of the Commandments in the floor of the National Archives, to the Adams Prayer Mantel in the White House ("I pray heaven to bestow the best of blessings on this house and all that shall hereafter inhabit it").

Last week, David Barton, founder of WallBuilders, spoke at Liberty University. He debunked the modern movement to cast our Founders as "a bunch of atheist, agnostic deists," calling it completely invalid. He detailed the history and writings of many of the signers of the Declaration of Independence and their obvious allegiance to Christianity.

These men include:

Dr. John Witherspoon, who wrote, "I entreat you in the most earnest manner to believe in Jesus Christ, for there is no salvation in any other [Acts 4:12] . . ."

Dr. Benjamin Rush, an innovator of mass-produced Bible printing, initiator of the Sunday school movement in America and founder of the first Bible society in our nation.

John Dickinson, also a signer of the U.S. Constitution, who wrote in his will: "Rendering thanks to my Creator for my existence and station among His works, for my birth in a country enlightened by the Gospel and enjoying freedom, and for all His other kindnesses, to Him I resign myself, humbly confiding in His goodness and in His mercy through Jesus Christ for the events of eternity."

John Hanc**k, first governor of Massachusetts, who issued at least 24 calls for public fasting and prayer and urged people to pray and fast about their fellow citizens becoming Christians.
This is not fallacy; it is our history. But it is a history that is being routinely rewritten, ignored, and disrespected.

I believe it is imperative that Christians go back to the basics to learn about the Judeo-Christian foundations of our nation. Purchase books like Mr. Gingrich's "Rediscovering God in America," regularly visit the WallBuilders Web site (www.WallBuilders.com) in order to become knowledgeable and conversant on our nation's glorious history. And to my pastor friends, I say that we must ensure that our congregations understand that America was founded on Christian principles and we must be proactive in defending them.

Let us work together to safeguard the chronicle of our nation's founding from those who are shamefully and falsely preaching that we are a godless nation.

When did you learn to write good English??

Anyway, in keeping with the topic, here's some British demonstration to you.

Apparently ours wasn't large enough, representative enough.

This was 2003!!!
Don't give me the date BS. I can come up (and will!!!) with anti-Bush demonstrations / figures anywhere anytime.

Get it straight: Bush is cancer.

Speaking of George W. Bush:

George W. Bush committed hate crimes of epic proportions and with the stench of terrorism (indicated in my blog).

George W. Bush did in fact commit innumerable hate crimes.

And I do solemnly swear by Almighty God that George W. Bush committed other hate crimes of epic proportions and with the stench of terrorism which I am not at liberty to mention.

Many people know what Bush did.

And many people will know what Bush did—even to the end of the world.

Bush was absolute evil.

Bush is now like a fugitive from justice.

Bush is a psychological prisoner.

Bush has a lot to worry about.

Bush can technically be prosecuted for hate crimes at any time.

In any case, Bush will go down in history in infamy.

I am not sure where I had read it before, but anyway, it is a linguistically excellent statement, and it goes kind of like this: “If only it were possible to ban invention that bottled up memory so it never got stale and faded.” Oh wait—off the top of my head—I think the quotation came from my Lower Merion High School yearbook.
