Will Brazil Give Its Grandchildren the Chance for All It Denied Its Children? PDF Print E-mail
2007 - April 2007
Written by Cristovam Buarque   
Monday, 23 April 2007 16:19

Brazilian high school classroomLast month the Communist Party of Brazil (PCdoB) marked its 85th birthday. The Republic was only 33 years old and Abolition, 34, when the party was created, conveying the certainty of the Communist utopia and a revolutionary strategy: taking power and nationalizing the means of production to construct an egalitarian society.

Brazil had an active militancy organized around that utopia and that revolution. Thanks to them, the PCdoB, as well as the Brazilian Communist Party (PCB) and the groups of the left linked to the Catholic Church were decisive in the political education of entire generations of Brazilians, even those not in agreement with those ideas.

By means of those dreams and that combativeness a generation came to know and position itself in favor of or against Marxism, Liberation Theology, Developmentalism and even, through opposition, the global Capitalism prevailing today.

But the utopia gave way to perplexity and the revolution, to accommodation.

At the beginning of the 21st century, the heroes have become bureaucrats; militancy has transformed itself into affiliation; the trenches have become the public posts; the parties have turned into acronyms; history has became imprisoned by politics. Those today affiliated to parties called leftist have fallen into perplexity and accommodation.

In the commemorations of its 85 heroic years, the PCdoB is no exception: The Workers Party (PT), the Socialist People's Party (PPS), the Brazilian Socialist Party (PSB) and my own Democratic Labor Party (PDT) have also fallen into perplexity and accommodation.

Our challenge is to shake the youth from their indifference, once again giving them a utopia and a revolution. Extracting them from their disenchantment or, worse, their petty fights, limited to posts and salaries, or, even worse, from their drugs and criminality.

Utopia is no longer Socialism or Communism. Nor is it the simple continuity of economic development, which today is heating the planet and is responsible for the "apartação," the separation in society that despoils nature and concentrates opportunities and income.

In our reality, the maximum utopia is the guarantee of the "same chance" for each Brazilian: the dream that at birth every citizen will receive equal opportunity to develop his or her potential. To utilize his or her effort with the same chance, independently of the income of the family into which he or she is born, the class, the race, and even of his or her physical or mental deficiencies that can be accommodated.

Thanks to their vocation, talent and persistence, some will be more successful. But all will have the same chance. The road for this utopia is education: a revolution in education capable of making, in a short time, the schools of the poor in the favelas the equivalent in quality the schools of the rich in condominiums.

When this happens, the favelas will not be poor and the condominiums will have no need for walls. Brazil will have torn down the wall of its internal inequality and the wall of backwardness in relation in the developed countries.

It will, moreover, be the school that successfully guarantees the same chance for the generation of today and for the future generations to impede the monumental tragedy of global warming. It is education that will permit changes in consumption habits and will offer the technology for the scientific and technological revolution that can reverse the ecological disaster.

The same chance through education. That is the only utopia and it is a good one, achieved democratically without demanding economic or fiscal irresponsibly, authoritarianism, or the breaking of rules. It is possible but difficult, due to the vice of the old utopias, which were abandoned by the accommodation of the militancy but still boast of theories as the way to avoid accommodation. Ancient words masking the passivity.

We have already deceived our children with the promises of Communist equality; we have already thrown them into desperation and accommodation. Perhaps there is still hope of waking our grandchildren to the struggle for an educational revolution that will offer the utopia of the same chance for all.

Cristovam Buarque has a Ph.D. in economics. He is a PDT senator for the Federal District and was Governor of the Federal District (1995-98) and Minister of Education (2003-04). He is the current president of the Senate Education Commission. Last year he was a presidential candidate.

That's true Forrest. My fiancé just yesterday told me that her geography teacher in high school, who had a masters degree, taught her class that in the United States the schools there show maps of brazil that dont include the Amazon!!

This complete horses**t rumor has gotten way out of hand. On Sunday night a brazilian congressman that is the host of a show "A Excelençia" on JBTV said on several different occassions the same absurdity, that maps of brazil in the U.S. don't contain the Amazon. Any american well knows that this has never even been an issue in the U.S. and to hear such ignorant and dangerous bare-faced lies is disturbing at best. These type of nutcases are flaming an already growing anti-american fire and it's past time that the brazilian public know the truth, and the american public knows whats being said about it.

I'm quite certain that brazilians wouldn't be happy if journalists and others in positions of authority and responsibility in the U.S. were reporting that the brazilian gov't. was developing an atomic bomb to give to Hezbollah in Foz de Iguaçu, as that statement is as absurd as stating that the Amazon isn't included on maps of brazil in the U.S.

I have three nieces and nephews in the U.S. One is in the 7th grade (junior high), the other the 12th grade(high school), the other is in college(university). I spoke with them last night and each and every one of them are going to get the geography books in their schools and scan the world maps contained within and send them to my email.

I've already sent e-mail to several large news outlets, Fox, CNN, NBC and am going to send the same e-mail to every other american tv network and at least one large newspaper in every major american city. The american public needs to know the extent of the ludicrous statements being made about them and their educational system. These irresponsible idiots need to feel the backlash of their ignorance and educated brasilians should be indignant about this as well. I'm quite sure that brasilians wouldn't like to have groups of "anti-brasilians" in the U.S. making up lies about them.

The U.S. gov't. does enough things for people to be angry with it, it doesn't need anyone to fabricate stories.
Bo: Unbelievable we have textbooks with pictures from space of the Amazon, google NASA
written by aes, April 24, 2007
That the Amazon is in Brazil is about all Americans know about Brazil, and maybe the view from Sugarloaf or Cocorvado, and Boss Nova. That is it. But everyone knows that Brazil is the Amazon river and the Rainforest. They might not be able to identify Brazil on a map, but they know the Amazon is in Brazil. We have seen enough movies to have learned this fact.

And the result is the world 10th most UNEQUAL country !!!!!

Another Great Brazilian Success !
Also mentionned in your national anthem.

And to my knowledge the Amazon is not only in Brazil !

And tomorrow Brazilian children will get what today and past brazilians children got : NOT MUCH !!!!!
Sad reality !
definition of UTOPIA .... !!!!!!
written by ch.c., April 24, 2007
ILLUSION, DREAM, MIRAGE.....as per the dictionary !!!!!

Yesssss....Brazil is an illusion.
And what Lula promised, promises...were illusions..or lies... !

UTOPIA IS NOT REALITY AND NEVER WILL BE !!!!

Therefore continue to live with your utopias. That is all that is guranteed !!!!

Yesssss Brazil is not a miracle society but a mirage only !

And as long as Brazilians will continue to swallow the lies and false promises of their governments and politicians, nothing will ever change.
But afterall the brazilian governments and politicians expect nothing else from you than to continue swallowing how good and great they are, while they pillage your country
for their own benefit and not work for the benefit of the society !

Except corruption and crimes, nothing is really growing in your society !

Forrest, it is pretty obvious, but I dont think it is going to happen so soon.I have mentioned in one of my posts that when an uneducated "Porteiro" in a Condo makes more money than a school teacher,there is something very wrong with the system.

In all fairness to Cristovam, he tacitly agrees that the leftist revolution in this country was and is a complete failure.Remember, even our President has been saying lately that he is no longer a leftist.

As for the anti Americanism in Brazil: Some years ago, I was reading a book (I forget the name of the book) written by a British author. He wrote that in Ex-British African colonial countries, one of the prerequistes for a politician to get elected was at least 5 years of stay in a British jail.Here the politicians bash the Americans and the Military government to get elected.Once they accomplish their goal, to quote Cristovam
At the beginning of the 21st century, the heroes have become bureaucrats; militancy has transformed itself into affiliation; the trenches have become the public posts; the parties have turned into acronyms; history has became imprisoned by politics. Those today affiliated to parties called leftist have fallen into perplexity and accommodation.

I wonder how Cristovam would have governed if he has succeeded in his Presidential bid in 2006

Just to clarify things: Forrest, you probably married a REALLY uneducated brasilian, as this is the typical thing they do: Show no responsability on what they say. Of course that this was never teached at schools in Brasil (At least I've never heard of it). Don't you think the news would cover such thing, as they usually love to badmouth the left (and I agree most of the times)?

Poor, uneducated people in Brasil do this, they don't feel the weight of their words. For them, it's like spreading a gossip about their neighbours. They don't even know what they're talking about, they just go on and on, like it was nothing. and it's pretty much about everything on their lives: Their neighbours, the government, the world outside Brasil, their bosses, their teachers, the neighbours kids, the price of meat, the weather, etc.

and about the politician saing this on television, I doubt very much.

What happened was that some Internet hoax, A la Conspiracy Theory spread out in Brasil, and nobody payed atention and in a week it was forgotten (It stayed on the internet, never saw a single word about this on television or newspapers or magazines, and I read a lot).

I disagree. A high school student in U.S knows where Brazil is like his Brazilian counterpart knows where E.U.A. is located (atleast the ones in Southern Brazil)
Mangus Brasil: Geography through addiction.
written by aes, April 24, 2007
Well because of cocaine everyone in the United States knows where Columbia is. There have been a hundred movies with Columbian drug lords, the war on cocaine in Columbia, the Columbian drug smugglers, the Columbian money launderers, the arch criminal is always the evil Columbian ruthless drug dealers; and of course everyone knows that Brazil is next to Columbia (somewhere). I dont know that they know Columbia shares a 1600km border with Brazil, but they know it is close enough to Columbia to know that it is not in Thailand, or Cambodia, or Laos, or that the capital is not Chungmai, or Bangkok. So Americans learn geography by their addictions.

I read at one of his posts that his father in law was a slave a like and had to be freed by the police, in the northeast, and finaly the daughter is married to a gringo and he frequentily sends money to them in Brasil(!!!!!).

Where do you think I got the story from?? It was on Globo News as well as on their site Monday Morning. The dep**ado is from SP, he is a state dep**ado, his name is Clodovil Hernandes. And here is your proof which shows you are yet another reality denying brazilian!

http://g1.globo.com/Noticias/Politica/0,,MUL25553-5601,00.html

Tenho horror aos EUA', diz Clodovil na TV
Dep**ado estreou programa de entrevistas com Dilma Roussef.
Clodovil Hernandes relembrou chegada a Brasília e mostrou bastidores.
Do G1, em São Paulo entre em contato

O dep**ado Clodovil Hernandes (PTC-SP)
O dep**ado federal Clodovil Hernandes (PTC-SP) criticou os Estados Unidos por diversas vezes na estréia de seu programa "Por Excelência" neste domingo (22) na TVJB, ex-CNT.

"Os EUA mostram o mapa do Brasil sem a Amazônia. Mas que audácia dessa gente. Com que direito essa gente mexe no mundo?", disse o dep**ado. "Tenho horror aos EUA", afirmou em seguida.

Durante entrevista com a ministra-chefe da Casa Civil, Dilma Rousseff, gravada na semana passada no Planalto, Clodovil questionou quando a ministra falou sobre a dívida que o Brasil quitou com o Banco Mundial.

"Quitou a que preço? A Amazônia não existe no mapa do Brasil para eles", disse o dep**ado.

"A Amazônia não é deles. Eu não tenho conhecimento de que eles façam isso, mas se fizerem é absolutamente equivocado. Hoje o Brasil tem uma política forte na Amazônia", rebateu a ministra.


And you see, a Chief Minister actually responds to this absurdity!! Thank goodness she prefaced her statement with "I don't know if they do this BUT if they do...."

So you see, these types of idiots are DANGEROUS! And I can say that I personally have felt the sting and repurcussions as an American living in brazil of idiotic, irresponsible statements such as these by people in positions of authority!

Don't worry, one way or another, the american public is going to be made aware of the unfounded HATE that is being demonstrated in this country by many.
And by the way...

Well, my wife is NOT uneducated! But she is from a small town in the interior of Bahia, actually very close to the border with Minas Gerais. I've been there several times, and her family isn't rich, but they're not ignorant nor uneducated. And after I saw on Globo.com the above on Monday morning I showed her and that's when she told me, for the second time, the first time was actually a couple years ago, about her geography teacher telling her and the other students this nonsense of the amazon not existing on maps in the U.S. and we teach our children in schools this nonsense.

Now, I posted the link and the story above of what this delusional faggot stated on national tv, but I bet you're still doubting it n'eh Maggot?

I told ya that it was a CIA conspiracy. you wouldnt believe it.Probably you had to place a couple of calls to the lads at Langley to confirm that the Americans are temporary custodians of Amazon, which is safely kept at Florida Keys till El Comandante Fidel kicks the bucket.

My parallel invetigations also have revealed that Chavez asked his fellow citizen Carlos,the Jackal, to hack into the websites of all the Atlas printing companies in U.S. of A to remove the Amazon from our Republic.Carlos,while rotting in a French jail,accepted the challenge and in his spare time,got the job done. The result: Amazon has disappeared from the Planet Earth.

Now the mystery is solved. Clodovil, the Dep**ado federal from your state was taken for a sucker ride by Chavez and he has not realized it.Only Dona.Dilma knows the whole story. Not even our MOD, Dr.Pires, who is not privvy to this "Amazon Conspiracy".

Just remember that Amazon is ours and you guys better return it soon after Mr.Fidel attains his Nirvana.

We sent them to school and for a graduation presents we gave them Casinos!

In fact you can keep your oil too! We just want your Cachaça, bicho!

That's true. The "amazon" thing is an old hoax. Recently I saw on the internet some pictures altered by photoshop with "maps" from the supposed books saying the same thing. Hahahahahahaha. Never this was taught in school.

There was another hoax recently, this time created by a soft drink company saying that an international company was buying the Amazon. One congressman was stupid enough not to check the facts before mentioning it in one of his speeches (was it Arthut Virgilio?), because the company from the hoax doesn't even exist.

Magnus, your description of people that talk for the sake of talking, never caring about the consequences, was not only funny but also true. It reminded me of a friend of mine that lived for some time in Germany, he was telling me that someone's "brazilian wife" used to tell germans that people walk naked in Brazil. Hahahahahahahaha. The "brazilian wife" in question was also from Bahia. Hahahahahahahahahahaha This kind of story is always with someone's "brazilian wife".

My friend, Chavez did not buy 2 billions dollars worth weapons to attack U.S.of A. The weapons are pointed to us.Remember that our military is being weakened everyday,thanks to Dr.Pires and his cumpanheiros. Do you know that we have about 800,000 Bolivians living as illegal aliens in our country: Nobody has estimated about the Venezuelens in this country.

We better call in AES to express his opinion about my "Colocação". Of course "A Brazilian" and the rooky participant "Magnus Brasil" might have something to add to my view point.

My friend, Chavez did not buy 2 billions dollars worth weapons to attack U.S.of A. The weapons are pointed to us.


Chavez has pledged Venezuelan blood in the event of war between the United States and Iran. Chavez has said "Venezuelan blood would run" if the United States tried to invade Cuba or Bolivia.


He is very liberal with Venezuelan blood. I imagine all the arms that he bought will rust. I would ASSUME if he tried to use them against Brazil, The U.S. would make an example of him that would make the war in Iran look like a picnic.
Perhaps if he would have a better outcome to use them against Guyana.

Do you know that we have about 800,000 Bolivians

I remember hearing an Argentinean complain that in in AR they have the same situation with Peruvians.

On those special occasions when I visit the immigration area of the Federal Police, there are always Bolivians or Peruvians there and it seems they travel as family units of 4-6, and they are all about the same height/size which is cute! (I think they come in one size only)
I have also seen the Dutch or the like there too, which is amusing, very tall, very white, I bet they scare the hell out of the Peruvians! smilies/grin.gif

We all heard the news that Chavez is replacing his F-16s with, for starters, 24 Sukoi-30 Mk2s. We also know that in an old fashioned dogfight, the Sukoi can beat the American planes now deployed, assuming equally skilled personnel. Which doesn´t mean much, since in today´s world you´re not supposed to have to get into dogfights except in simulated ops. Technology and electronics is supposed to mean that you´ve got him beat before he even knows you are there. Even with Chavez´s Chinese radars.

Chavez says his buildup is to offset the American buildup of Columbia. But his planning is asymetrical, witness the AK47 factory, meaning guerilla war prep, just what he might expect in a conflict with the USA. Unlike Chile´s buildup, which is more sophisticated and technogical.

Interesting that Latin America´s average expenditure on military is the lowest of any major world region, 1.4%, (Brazil´s down from 1.9% ten years ago to 1.6% now), since it´s a low conflict area. Militarily low conflict, but world champs in murder rate per 100,000.

The greatest threat for Chavez is not military but going belly-up financially. But I just can´t envision a scenario in which he invades Brazil.

Clodovil???!!!!???!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He's the one that provides your information?????

You really can't understand the brasilian idiossincrasiss, can't you?
For Christ Sake, he plays the comediant role in the congress you are probably the only one in the world that listen what he says!!! He is insane!!



What?? So in the brazilian congress they elect insane people to be the court jesters??? Seems like people do take what he says seriously, now he's in hot water with his comments about women! These people that occupy positions of authority need to choose their words wisely when speaking in public. And when making such outrageous claims, especially in a country where there are vast numbers of ignorant, uneducated people, they need to realize that many believe them! It's called responsibility, which I fully understand is not a big issue for 97% of brazilians, especially brazilian politicians.

http://g1.globo.com/Noticias/Politica/0,,MUL27147-5601,00.html

Clodovil bate boca com dep**ada na Câmara
"Eu disse isso para defender as mulheres", afirmou sobre declaração polêmica.
"Dizer que todas ficaram ordinárias?", questionou dep**ada petista.
Agência Estado entre em contato



O dep**ado estilista Clodovil Hernandes (PTC-SP) discutiu com a dep**ada Cida Diogo (PT-RJ) enquanto tentava explicar na Câmara a declaração polêmica que fez sobre as mulheres.




Na semana passada, Clodovil afirmou que "as mulheres ficaram muito ordinárias, ficaram vulgares, cheias de silicone" e que hoje em dia "as mulheres trabalham deitadas e descansam em pé".



Na Câmara, deu explicações sobre o que havia declarado: "Eu cresci enfeitando as mulheres e, tenho consciência disso, foi só por isso que eu cheguei onde eu cheguei. Os meus votos são das mães de família, das pessoas que acreditam na televisão limpa que seu sempre fiz. Agora, é evidente: agradar a todos é impossível. Se Jesus não agradou, por que eu, um pobre mortal, agradaria a todos?"

"Eu disse isso para defender as mulheres", justificou-se o dep**ado. E foi interceptado por Cida Diogo: "E dizer que todas ficaram ordinárias?", questionou. "Em uma entrevista de televisão, se todos falarem ao mesmo tempo, ninguém se entende", respondeu Clodovil.



"Se a senhora precisa do meu apoio, use-o, tanta gente usa", continuou. "Eu tenho o meu próprio apoio", respondeu a dep**ada. Os dois foram repreendidos pelo vice-presidente da Câmara, Nárcio Rodrigues (PSDB-MG), por conta da discussão.


Cida Diogo ganhou tempo na Câmara para responder ao dep**ado. Citou o trecho da entrevista em que o dep**ado critica as mulheres e falou que a bancada feminina -composta por 45 dep**adas- luta pelos direitos das mulheres na Casa e disse que se sentiu ofendida pela declaração.



"Não podemos concordar com esse tipo de coisa. Não podemos concordar que uma pessoa que representa esse parlamento se refira às mulheres desse jeito."

A declaração de Clodovil sobre as mulheres foi feita minutos antes de se encontrar, no Palácio do Planalto, com a ministra da Casa Civil, Dilma Rousseff, para entrevista de seu programa de TV. Ele esclareceu, no entanto, que as críticas não se dirigiam à Dilma.

Prof, it is amazing that you made this comment which exactly coincides with my wife´s.She thinks that we are giving Chavez too much "Colher da Chá".Dont you think it is clownish on the part of the opposition parties in Venezuela to have boycotted the elections and turned the country into one party rule.

We keep the ladies, buy the oil and Cachaça from you, and we will reduce the import tax on the Cachaça!


You are a very difficult person to negotiate trade with.Ok,you can keep Venezuelan ladies,provided you impose zero import duty on Cachaça and pay for the oil. If you agree to 0% tax on Cachaça, we will forget about ethanol and convert the existing plants to increase the production of Cachaça to quench the thirst of all the Americans

Chavez has pledged Venezuelan blood in the event of war between the United States and Iran


Here Chavez will lose his bet again,because there is not going to be any war between U.S. and Iran.Because, we will send olive branch to the Iranian ladies,by introducing our fashinable Nikaba dresses in Persia. They in turn will bring down the ruling Mullahs.Thinking better, we will export 5% of our Cachaça production to Iran and conquer the hearts and minds of the elite Mullahs.

I liked the gingle and the brand name.In the beginning, the ideas sound silly,but when some one pursues and make them commercially vyable, everybody wants to be in. I suggest that you go with your wife when she goes shopping for clothes and you will note that most of them are imported.

That was horrible and out of politeness,nobody complained nor were drinking it after a couple of sips.Suddenly he grinned and asked "Ya all dont like it?". I was the only one bold enough to ask "Are you serving us horse pee?".He burst out laughing and said "Ya all swallowed my tale AGAIN".

Socket Wrench was replaced with Screw Driver and the party continued.

a hot summers day in the back of his pickup, with an unmeasurable joy of his lucky find, he pops open and drinks half of it in one leaping gulp and says awaaaaaaaa, damn good!

I received an e-mail from some close friends of mine from sunny Southern California about Lawyers:I thought you might enjoy reading it:

"A very successful lawyer parked his brand new Lexus

in front of the office, ready to show it off to his colleagues.

As he got out, a truck came along too close to the

curb and completely tore off the driver's door. Fortunately,

a cop in a police car was close enough to see the accident and

pulled up behind the Lexus, his lights flashing.

But, before the cop had a chance to ask any questions, the

lawyer started screaming hysterically about how his Lexus, which he

had just picked up the day before, was now

completely ruined and would never be the same, no matter how the body

shop tried to make it new again.

After the lawyer finally wound down from his rant, the cop shook

his head in disgust and disbelief. "I can't believe how materialistic

you lawyers are," he said.

"You are so focused on your possessions that you neglect the most important

things in life." "How can you say such a thing?" asked the lawyer.

The cop replied, "Don't you even realize that your

left arm is missing? It got ripped off when the truck hit you!"

"OH, MY GOD!" screamed the lawyer.

"MY ROLEX!"



May be AES would be kind enough to sell this lawyer a "ROLEX" to replace the one which he lost.

Yes Risen in a ball smaller than the head of a pin. How clever the KGB was how bold the Bulgarians. Wasn't it the Bulgarians that shot the Pope? That was a bit much. Saw an OSS, KGB, MIA, CIA, documentary yesterday on the assasination teams and the verious weaponry. How political incorrect. It is positively funny that Nixon was villanized for having surruptitiously recorded conversations, (oh my) and Liddy and the plumbers, oh 'the horror'. The net just came up again, the more dependent the society becomes on internet the more obviously vulnerable they would seem to become. It would make an interesting thriller, nets begin going down around the world, lines of communication are broken, and he who owns the batteries rules the world. Serendipitious about the Bulgarians though and the umbrella of death. How clever the Russians are polonium the new choice among the cloak and dagger set in Moscow, though they had passed a law (thats a bit ammusing, for it said) stipulating they would no longer assasinate anyone outside their country. And they actually refused to provide the actors for the Bulgarians, but the Bulgarians pled and the KGB finally relented and provided them with the inconspicuous 'umbrella'. How ordinary our lives are compared to the world of the Shadow. I think it is human nature to get out once and a while and do a little plotting, a little hunting of man, for the good of the state, of course. It is the cromagnon in us all, the angst, to get out and eliminate something or other, kind of like American football, but more subtle and consequential. 'The game's afoot Watson'.

Just to let you know Magnus, last night I was at a restaurant, one of the nicest in the city where I live, with my wife and 4 friends. One of my friends is a procurador (prosecutor) for the city, which is the capitol of the state. He's a very nice guy, have known him for at least 5 years. Here is a quote from him last night during our conversation.

"Did you guys here that in the United States in the schools there they are teaching children that the Amazon doesn't exist on their maps of Brazil."

Now, this guy is not a stupid guy. He has also travelled to the U.S. at least 10 times in his life. He is a friend of mine, I've been to his house. We talk everytime we see each other. At times we have dinner together, as in last night.

This was my point in all of this. People can't just disregard statements like were made by Clodovil as just "bobagem" that "everyone" surely knows is just "Clodovil being Clodovil". People take statements made on television, especially by politicians, seriously. Education is a huge problem in brazil, people need to be very careful about the statements they make. Especially those that hold positions of authority and respect.

Naturally I then explained to all of them that coincidentally I had not only heard the same thing and from whom it came from, but told them the actions that I took in sending an email, and making a telephone call, to JBTV in regards to this issue.

People are gullible, those that hold "cargas importantes" need to be careful in what they say.

Nice, let's talk, just for fun, about stereotypes, what do we think of eachother, conscient wrong ideas and see how far it goes


Understand your point. I told them last night that Americans in general don't know much about brazil, but of the few things we do know one of them is that "the Amazon is in Brazil". Other than that we're familiar with Pele and "Cristo" in Rio de Janeiro. If you run into someone that thinks he really knows brazil he may have heard of Carmen Miranda, lol, which wasn't even brazilian, but goes along with the stereotypical dancing with a bowl of fruit on her head.

I think that many brazilians are taken aback when they realize that the vast majority of americans really don't think about brazil. To them it's of no consequence. The majority haven't even heard of Sao Paulo. When brazilians truly realize this I can understand how it's difficult for them to comprehend.

It is Friday night and I hope you are having some Monkey Wrench.

It is Saturday morning and I just wiped off and put away my monkey wrench, that
I used to beat the living-s**t out of one my computers!
Thursday night I got the dreaded BSOD (blue screen of death), so Friday morning I
began to troubleshoot the problema, while Brazzil-nut dot com was having problems so was I (sympathy pains).
Any who, I fixed the BSOD on the SOB!
I have five computers of varying age, so it is a tribal ritual from time to time that I must exercise the demons from the circuit boards of these 20h century SOBs.

I was just reminiscing of past, and I remembered why the screensaver was first used, it was to prevent an imprint being burned into the screen. Even though this is not an issue anymore in the monitors we use, we still use the screen saver. However I think I
have experienced reverse screen burn! The imprint from the monitor is now burned into my face!

Brazilians...only one step away from Mexicans
written by GTY, April 28, 2007
With the housing market cooling/shrinking all of the Brazilians who are in construction are feeling the pinch. It really is something to see the Brazilians who have done so well here in S. Florida the last decade begin to have to sell their houses and move into other areas of the country. The problem is that they are moving into areas that have traditionaly held Mexican immigrants who will work for half the wage as a Brazilian. It's kind of funny seeing the Brazilian's who always consider themselves better than people from other Latin & South American countries now having to turn to Mexican type jobs and wages. I think many will take what they have and move back to Brazil. In most parts of the country, Brazilians are simply thought of as Mexicans, people don't know the difference between Portuguese and Spanish, to bad, but why does it really matter?

I took advantage of the situation and have saved/screwed my Brazilian pool cleaner, lawn cutter and house cleaner by offering a lower wage...all were forced to take it. Brazil, you keep sending em...we will keep expoliting them...after all, it is the American way. It's not about you or us...it's all about me...don't you just love the US? The economy keeps on ticking, record breaking stock market, low unemployement, people keep buying hummers with $3.00 a gallon gas, and the illegal immigrant community can no longer get drivers licenses, free health care, or qualify to student loans...life just keeps getting better and better...for real Americans' and no one can do a damn thing about it.

Not Al Queda, Chavez, Iran, Mexico, China, Russia...or Brazil. Oh, you would all like to think they could impact us, but we will continue to enjoy our riches while you all sink into a global depression...that is except for our good friends the Japanese and Canadians. The Arabs, let them continue to live 200 centuries in the past, sad, but exactly where they belong, what a bunch of smelly losers. I can't wait to pull out of Iraq and watch the whole thing go up in smoke, it will serve them all right. Perhaps Israel will do us all a favor a use their nukes, clean out the hornets nests, start fresh.

Oh, and who really gives a s**t where the Amazon is on a map, as long as my kids understand the market and get a good college education, make lots of money, have lots of toys, it really is irrelevant isn't it? Although my kids are Brazilian citizens and speak Portuguese, when push comes to shove, it's all about their American citizenship now isn't it. Both my sons are teenagers and the Portuguese is good for one thing, you should see some of the Brazilian teenagers they date! Holy s**t, I wish I had known Portuguese back then instead of now.
GTY: You are financially libel for the pool man and the lawn maintenance service, if they are not insured.
written by aes, April 28, 2007
There is a kind of truth and cynicism in what you say.

Business is buisiness. Finding the best product for the lowest possible price. Using the fact of your knowledge that the pool cleaner to negotiate a lower price seems somehow on the verge of a kind of black mail.

Taking to an 'ad absurdum' why not start a business where you threaten to turn in the illegal foreigners that are attempting to remain beyond their visas, for a sum of money.

You know it is a crime to willfully hire someone without a business liscence, or knowingly hire an 'illegal alien'. If you hire someone to work on your property you are legally responsible, for any injury your pool cleaner might incur, ie., slipping on the coping around the pool and cracking his head. It is probably not a financially safe thing to do. Whenever you have a contractor of anykind, even the guy that mows the lawn, it is best to find out if they carry insurance, else you are liable.

I had the kid next door mowing the lawn and he slipped and nearly cut his foot off.

With increased preasure on employers to be held responsible for the legality of their employees, with fines and imprisonement, the casual 'undocumented' foreign worker will find it more difficult to find employment.

I think Brazil stands apart, economically, if you research Bloomberg, or look at the analysis of Bovespa or Brazil's economics, ie trading surpluses, exports, (largest exporter of cattle in the world, as well as iron ore) from the rest of the hunt. It is ironic that because of the strength of the Real over the past 24 months those returning back to Brazil will find their dollars worth 1/3 less.

Being bi lingual English/Portuguese may serve your sons well if in fact the Brazillian economy over the next five years does manifest it increasing potential.

The American market could very easily become problematic, the dollar is in the basement vis a vis the Euro, when the market reaches the heights that it has it will have a correction of such magnitude, that it could effect a recession.

It is interesting how cheap things are in the U.S. compared to Rio. Maybe it's just where I live. But it is no Tijuana.

We are one terrorist attack of a greater magnitude away from 9-11, that will send rumblings in the American economy. The inevitability of this 'it is not a question of if, but when', is the general wisdom, is bothersome.

If you have to be somewhere, the Oregon coast or Washington
or even Homer Alaska are intelligent choices.

You all try and make it all so complex and hip, all you American's "who chose to live in Brazil". I chose to live where I want too, right here in the good old USA, oh, I make the twice annual trip down to hang out with my Brazilian friends and see the wife's family, but how can I in good conscious raise my three sons in a pig sty like Brazil. Who cares that most American's can't find Brazil on a map, it's not relevant, find the Amazon on the map? Or that they speak Portuguese in Brazil instead of Spanish? How is that going to influence their big homes, nice cars and expensive things, those same people have 3 plasma TV's, expensive cars, spending their money on anything that makes them happy. And knowing one damn thing about Brazil does what? Makes their lives better how? Give me a break, what you can't stand is your irrelevance, you can't change anything about our power and success, never have, never will. In fact, in mid-America they call Brazilians Mexican's, no better, no worse, it's their perception and it just doesn't matter, a Mexican is a Mexican, even a Brazilian.

Hey GTY you are back..
You all try and make it all so complex and hip, all you American's "who chose to live in Brazil".

Could not find in this what you were refering to as "complex and hip" what were you refering to?

I chose to live where I want too, right here in the good old USA


As for myself looking from the other side of the dollar bill, after being in the pig sty of Brazilland amongst the Portuguese speaking Mexicans for some time I have grown accustomed to the lawlessness and lack of political correctness which laughs in its irrelevance at its opposite.


The great nation that I came from "the land of the free and the home of the brave" is just a shadow of its former self where a united people respected their president and declared themselves "one nation under GOD" who attempted in their self righteousness to hide their sins behind closed doors and never spoke a fowl word on the airwaves.

I would argue that the U.S.A. that you live in is not "the good old USA"

You flaunt that he are not poor, that you do not live in the pig sty called Brazil and have six cars and five plasma t.v.'s and swimming pools, and 3 martini lunches, and so forth and so forth, as though the divorce rate for such people wasn't 50% or the suicide rating wasn't 25%, or addiction of one form or another wan't 60%. The old axiom, money doesn't buy happiness, hasn't or doesn't occur to you. But it is better to live in a place of beauty than not. And I live on a mountain top in Rio overlooking the ocean at leblon, a view of corcovado, and lagoa. But I too prefer my children seek their educative years in the relative safety of Southern California, and the coast of South Carolina. It is easier to get money in the U.S. There is more of it. There is so much money and wealth in the U.S. that the poor drive cars.

So we will continue to expolit them, me included, without guilt, it makes for good economics. And I am not that worried about one falling down and hitting his head while cleaning my pool, I'll just drag him out to the street and hire another, perhaps cheaper one.

Hawaii is hip, Kauai the back side of Oahu up by North Shore. But Brazil is not hip, it is at best dangerous or physiologically unhealthy. Amsterdam is very hip and Paris, Prague is considered the hippest place in Europe now. It is cheaper than Rio, and there is less malaria. But there is no beach at Ipanema. And Brazilian jazz is very hip. Brazil is more of an adventure. Northern California, Humbolt County is hip. BTW what do you know about being hip?

LOL....guess you forgot to take your medication today? Have you forgot our previous conversations?? I'm a managing partner in a firm making an investment here, classifying me as a hippie couldn't be further off base.

And now you're a "good christian"?? I thought you were jewish.

From your posts you're either schyzophrenic or there's more than one of you. It depends on which way the wind is blowing as to what direction you lean.

The point of my posts, and rightly so, is that there is an ever growing anti-american sentiment in the air in brazil today and for those americans that live here, have businesses here, have children here with ex-wives but refuse to return to the U.S. since that would mean abandoning their children, it makes life much more difficult, not to mention frustrating, when we have to live with authority figures on tv that have influence over the masses telling outright lies about the U.S. and the american people.

I agree with you about one thing, I hope the U.S. gov't. deports every illegal as well, but I also hope they throw every f**king american in jail that is hiring these bastards because if it wasn't for them, we law abiding americans wouldn't have to put up with the illegal alien problem because there wouldn't be one. Maybe ICE will bust yours while he's cleaning your pool and you can take a trip down to the station with him.

"You all try and make it all so complex and hip, all you American's "who chose to live in Brazil". I chose to live where I want too, right here in the good old USA". . .well good for f**king you. Who gives a rats ass where you chose to live. . .you are a condescending cunt whose 10% tithing is denegrated by your xenophobic fear and loathing of others. "We make it so complex and hip" what the f**k are you talking about? I dont like your belittling sense of humanity. It seems you, with great effort are separating yourself from those Brazilians in the States that are legal from those that arn't, 'you protest too much', there are other issues here, like you are trying to prove, because you have things, ie a pool, a house in Bocca, a gardner, that you are not a Mexican. The dreaded Latino, the 'wet back'. . . who amongst us is superior to any other of us? It is by our deeds and by our hearts that we shall be judged, not by the 'green cards' that we may or may not possess, at least not by God, maybe by GTY, but not GOD.


As I recall you live in Bocca and are a director of sales in a global chemical company. What strikes me as curious is how you are crowing about what you own and what you have and somehow this makes you superior to others. But , it is bourgeois in a most petulant and petty way. Your vitriole is curious and bespeaks a feeling of inferiority that manifests itself in verbalizing your superiority. Your hatred for Brazilians or Latino's seems a self loathing. Their is a cheapness to your humanity. You would 'drag the guy out to the street and find another'. You are contributing to the cause of the problem, you invite the problem. One of the solutions to the problem is to involve ICE and fine and incarcerate you or any employer, small or large of any illegal resident of the U.S.. It is ironic that you condemn in your Christian morality with such vehemence these people, but in fact, are involved in the aiding and abbeting of this most serious of problems.

King Ozymandias of Assyria was running low on cash after years of war with the Hittites.
His last great possession was the Star of the Euphrates, the most valuable diamond in the ancient world.

Desperate, he went to Croesus, the pawnbroker, to ask for a loan.

Croesus said, "I'll give you 100,000 dinars for it."

"But I paid a million dinars for it," the King protested. "Don't you know who I am? I am the king!"

Croesus replied, "When you wish to pawn a Star, makes no difference who you are."

The complaining and whinning is incredable, illegals in the US who don't want to assimilate now complain that the job market is drying up. You know who else expolits illegal Brazilians? Brazilians! It's funny to see how they will cut each others throats and lie to each other if it benefits themselves.

The boomers in the US have created such a mess, the generation they spawned, Generation X are a scary bunch, they sit in fromt of the TV playing video games, text message until their fingers fall off, on their computers six hours as day, plug in their Ipods and tune out, what a selfish bunch we have created. The future does not look bright...but brighter than Brazil's.

I agree it is not the good old USA, but you have all chosen to run away from it, hide in the s**t hole, the pig sty, unable to find your way here anymore...OK, that's your choice, but you really have no say in our politics and direction. It's all about the beach, cheap beer and pussy for all of you...pathetic. And the wanna be Gringo Joao is one of the worst, are you picking up their scraps Joao, hoping for a job? They think you are no better than a Mexican deep down, read Bo's posts.

Wow, Bo, your the big time business man in some backwater thrid world beach town, that is really f**kin impressive, couldn't make it here? The only reason you are there is $5.00 pizza and 50 cent beer, and the $20.00 pussy, let me know if you get to Boca, to can lounge in my pool, or if you like, I'll give you the keys to my boat. But don't stay to long, you don't have the brain or balls to make it here.

I do my wife a favor by hiring Brazilians to do my s**t work, they do a much better job that the Hatians or Central Americans, at least they seem to have 1/2 a brain. And all of my wifes hot Brazilian freinds love to hang out and meet my Gringo friends...but after a few beers they all sit around telling each other how much they hate the US and Americans, pretty pathetic.

OK, maybe hippies was not the perfect term, and hip...well, Leblon and Rio are hip, some parts of Sao Paulo. But you have all chosen to drop out there because there is no where else for you to go. You all really should send back your passports, you are of no value to the US, your pathetic whinning and blogging really do make me sick. I will be in Brazil week after next, can't wait to see some customers and suppliers, friends and family, but live there? No friggin way man. How could I drive my Hummer around Rio without someone sticking a gun in my head. No, the Dolphin are biting, people are safe and happy, things are great here in paradise...the more of you malcontents that live abroad the better for those of us who give a s**t about the US.

"You have all chosen to run away from it"? That could not be any farther from the truth, but if truth does not concern you then this is an appropriate statement.
"but you really have no say in our politics and direction" Whether at home or abroad we still have a say. We can still vote if we choose to vote.
"It's all about the beach, cheap beer and pussy for all of you" If you live in Florida It's all about the beach, expensive beer and if you can not get any pussy, you import a wife from another country.
You comments fit the profile of a Redneck living in multicultural society but can not quite fit into it, who is frustrated, a slave to the man, a patriot of what he believes is the mainstream.
The people that you are referring to in the above quote best fits the American sex tourist or company employee, who visits Brazil and out of sympathy and his purchasing power marries the prostitute he hires and returns to the U.S. After sometime he realises what an ass he was and directs his pain on everyone else.

As for João he is multicultural and enjoys it, I assume the wannabe is the one who wants but can not be and complains about those who are.

Sorry Professor (Professor of what?), you couldn't be further from the truth. This blog is comic, it is why I stop by from time to time. You all think it is all so romantic don't you? Like the cowboy in the movies who goes indian, never will be a Brazilian, not comfortable in what you call the mainstream...kind of stuck in the insignificant middle, all modern day tarzans. Your defense of the wanna be Gringo Joao is interesting, big bad Gringo coming to the aide of the Brazilian who for some weird reason needs your acceptance.

You you can vote? Big deal, is that the extent of your particiaption in your birth country? If that's it, then turn in your Passport, you have no say, or right to say it. By the way, I am the furthest thing from a Redneck possible, Mexican born mother , German father, grew up in San Diego, have traveled the world and back...but still love my country enough to stay here and make a difference for my family and kids. And yes, if in Sao Paulo, I will stop by Clube Bahama's to see the girls, I'm not ashamed of it "when in Rome".

I am not intedning to direct pain, if it hurts, that is your problem. I thought you were comfortable with your situation. It's just reading this love fest of a blog, you and all of your expat buddies, trashing Brazil and commenting on the "great" American situation and politics is comic, I'll bet you never talk that way face to face with Brazilians. You get your news from Fox and CNN, Globo too, but your not living it, huge difference. Again, I contend that you are all just simple drop outs who had enough for a ticket down to Brazil and nothing back here to come home to...pretty damn sad. You are all right where we want you.

Wanna know something else, we can't sell the last condo because my wifes brother will not move out of it...typical Brazilian leach.

My fellow citizens I treat fine...it's yours I exploit, it's what they expect here, why let them down. At least I pay them on time and what the market will bear.

Well most of us have served in the military. I know that is something you have not. That you are a 'beaner' is funny, no wonder I sensed you were self loathing, as manifested by your inhumanity towards your pool man that fell and was dragged to the street by you. Your English is terrible. That you can hold any position of any import is curious, your secretary must be extraordinary to pass you off in writen work as capable, exeutive and literate. The U.S. is 10 hours away, BFD. I manufacture out of Los Angeles, for St. Augustine, Florida by phone. Boca, and Florida for that matter is the anus of Georgia. You are all convincing yourselves as to the value of what you have, like a 'circle jerk'. One of the largest sources of gems in the world is Minas Gerais, it behooves one to at least visit the Brazil Gem Show. One makes money where one can, regardless of the country. You are trite, you are not an entrepeneur, more of a clerk. Nobody is interested in 'trashing' Brazil. To describe, is merely to describe. It is observation. Some of us are retied, you know over 62, receiving retirement benefits. Who the hell wants to be in Boca? It is a cultural vacuum, void of art or culture, it is antiseptic. Yeh I know San Diego. Did you go to UCSD? Probably not, I went to UCLA. San Diego is a backwater, now if you lived in Newport, or Huntington Beach there might have been some class in your naisance, but San Diego, is no Paris, nor is it Rio. And Boca, s**t its self delusional. Florida sucks, compared to Hawaii, or Tahiti, or Northern California, Or the Pacific Northwest. You are in debt, for a 30 year mortgarte, for an appirition of value. One good hurricane and you will be looking for Brazilians to help you put a roof back on your life. Tchau

Sorry Professor (Professor of what?), you couldn't be further from the truth. This blog is comic, it is why I stop by from time to time.

You stop by to rant then after awhile you notify everyone that you are leaving because
you can not fit into any long term discussion. Then without warning you pop back on to rant, yes comic I agree.

You you can vote? Big deal, is that the extent of your participation in your birth country? If that's it, then turn in your Passport, you have no say, or right to say it.

My birth country, how romantic. I served my B. country both there and abroad. And retired from doing my part for the economy. It appears you need to pay of your debts, not me, I am free.

but still love my country enough to stay here and make a difference for my family and kids

Again romantic, you are a country and I am an individual. As to your well traveled attitude and posts I can understand what you are doing for our country. You sound like a Madonna wannabe who adopts people from 3rd world countries to show her charity then hides in the wealth of first world countries. However, you sound like Alec Baldwin.
Face the fact you are the offspring of a German, Mexican a Nazi Pistoleiro who could not make a life for his children in Brazil. I have an American friend here in Sampa with 3 children who is supporting his Brazilian family without having to live in Latin Florida.

I will stop by Clube Bahama's to see the girls, I'm not ashamed of it "when in Rome

Admirable.

I am not intedning to direct pain, if it hurts, that is your problem.

It is your hurt that you are directing, I do not accept your pain. You make generalized statements to support what's in your heart.
You rant about the idiots on this site, but exclude yourself. Go beat your Gardener slave, or better yet, get rid of him and hire a one eyed veteran to do your Gardening and pay him an American wage!

Go S.C.. I dont use the term 'beaner', but you feeling that you are somehow not quite all American, rich white S.C. material, would account for your expressions of speaking down to others not of your perceived economic equal. Perhaps that was what you felt when you were at S.C. I forgot that you served, you had mentioned that in a previous post,while talking to Forrest, and your empathy with him taking two to the head. For your amusement, I was in the California ANG, which was the minimum one could serve, I think the annagram stood for All No Good, a lot of governors sons joined the Air Guard, but that was back in '63. Actually I manufacture jewelry for St. Augustine's tourist market, including the Cathedral Cross. I had the models made here in Rio, because the labor to produce the models were a third of the cost as in L.A. But the cost of manufacturing in L.A. was much less then here in Rio. So I sent the molds to L.A. and am having the finished product produced in L.A. from people in the casting business, friends I have known for thirty years, they are from Thailand. I came to Brazil to marry an architect, and writer. I told you before I live on a mountain top above Leblon, with Corcovado out my window, not Botofugo. But when I return it will be to buy property, not a lot, somewhere in Oregon or Washington, and build something. Really I used the term 'beaner' out of curiosity to see if it would get a rise out of you. I think it explains why you exhibit such emnity to non legal Latinos and Brazilians, and why you exhibit such disrespect, as a Christian to their basic humanity. I wonder how you must have felt going to school with the 'hoi paloi' of Los Angeles and Beverly Hills. What fraternity did you rush? S.C. is definitely racist and exclusive, U.C.L.A. is more egalitarian. and when I was there in '61 we were NCAA basketball champs for four or five years in a row, beating S.C., though I really didn't give a s**t.

Pluck ewe mother pluckers!!
written by Professor, April 29, 2007
A little etymology for you English fanatics:

The Tappet Brothers have a feature called the 'Puzzler', and their
most recent 'Puzzler' was about the Battle of Agincourt. The French,
who were overwhelmingly favored to win the battle, threatened to cut
a certain body part off of all captured English soldiers so that they
could never fight again. The English won in a major upset and waved
the body part in question at the French in defiance. The puzzler
was: What was this body part?

This is the answer submitted by a listener:

Dear Tappet Brothers,

Thank you for the Agincourt 'Puzzler', which clears up some profound
questions of etymology, folklore and emotional symbolism. The body
part which the French proposed to cut off of the English after
defeating them was, of course, the middle finger, without which it
is impossible to draw the renowned English longbow.

This famous weapon was made of the native English yew tree, and so
the act of drawing the longbow was known as "plucking yew". Thus,
when the victorious English waved their middle fingers at the defeated
French, they said, "See, we can still pluck yew! PLUCK YEW!" Over
the years some folk etymologies' have grown up around this symbolic
gesture. Since 'pluck yew' is rather difficult to say (like
"pleasant mother pheasant plucker", which is who you had to go to for
the feathers used on the arrows), the difficult consonant cluster at
the beginning has gradually changed to a labiodental fricative 'f', and
thus the words often used in conjunction with the one-finger-salute
are mistakenly thought to have something to do with an intimate
encounter. It is also because of the pheasant feathers on the arrows
that the symbolic gesture is known as
"giving the bird".

written by GTY, April 29, 2007
You are all a group of hopeless snivelers, sniviling you lives away in a forgotten third world cesspool. You can all talk the talk, but the reason you choose to stay is you all have a deep dark serect you all share that keeps you from returning. How about your families in the states?...did they kick you out? Where are your kids? How often do you see them, don't have to mail your child support checks from Brazil do you...but it's probably why you can't come back. Is the IRS looking for you...even worse, the cops?

I have seen my mother called a "beaner" w*****k, and spic by people like AES, and my father was second generation German, but he served in Korea, both his sons have served and both are succesful with large happy families living the American dream, he is proud, where your parents proud of you? Living thousands of miles away, selling cheap jewlery or trinkets? Building a few cheap condos on some no name beach in the North...wow...I'm impressed.

Yeah, Florida is a s**thole no doubt, but I love the multi-cultural element, especially cheap Brazilian labor and hot Brazilian women. I also enjoy going out Jupiter inlet in my 32 foot Contender for a day of catching tuna, sailfish and dolphin, have been buring a couple of hundered in gas lately per trip, but who cares...its only money, lots more where that came from.

I just checked my email after returing from a lunch at the Cheesecake Factory where I probably spent more than most of you make in a day. This evening, I will join my Brazilian friends for a party in Pompano Beach and they will all be sucking up to me to find out what I can do for them. If I like them and they get my attention, perhaps I will, I have helped lots of Brazilians, but I have chips to cash with all of them. Free pool work, free driveway...free meals and best tables at the Brazilian Cafe's.

I am who I am, no shame, my kids are well educated, my family lacks nothing. I was enlisted, used the GI Bill for 2 years at Cal. State Northridge and another 2 at USC with a degree in Chemical Engineering. It's funny how you all try and talk the talk, when you get upset, your overt racisim comes to the surface. Does it kill you that you have to live in the third world when the son of a Mexican immigrant has just about everything. Your problem is that you failed to pay the price, you all live your lazy lives down in the jungle, then critisize those of us who bust our asses to make some of ourselves and make sure our children have the chance to do so. How does my wife's father the Admiral do anything for me, I do much more for his daughter, her mother just arrived First Class on American to stay a month. I will admit, he can get us great seating and service at the Rio Yacht Club, and my wife gets his retirement, how does that make sense when I make 10 times that monthly amount.

I love you Bohemians, you crack me up. Straw hats and flip flops, you are all a breed of charecters, charming and interesting...I admit yes...but relevant to anything...nope. Hate the rich, viva the poor. Enjoy your lives, die lonley in some God foresaken Brazilian public health clinic. Nope, thats not for me.

I wish I had the GPS coordinates for the Sunkdeep now, probably some great snapper and grouper fishing over it. I'll bet my Contender cost three times as much as his piece of s**t barge.

I know you all hate me...becauseyou could never be me, son of a Mexican immigrant kicking your asses, coaching my kids soccer team, on the Homeowners board of my Intercoastal development, season tickets for both the Heat and Dolphins. God, you Jimmy Buffet wanna bees make me sick. So much drivel about this and that in Brazil, about your shallow unimportant lives, destined to disappear into oblivion. Why do you all stay, besides Joao who could never get a Visa? IRS trouble? ex-wife trouble? don't want to pay your child support? Don't give me that lay back lifestyle bulls**t...that's just saying I'm too lazy to make it in the States. Yeah, I'd rather retire in Brazil than Boca anyday...how stupid a statement is that? It should have been, I would have loved to have retired in Boca..or Scottsdale, or Seattle or Vegas or anywhere else in the States, but I f**ked up my life up and have nothing so I am doomed to be stuck in Brazil. It's the only place I can make my $1300 a month social security work, oh, maybe I can supplement it by making and selling a few trinkets that I can make in LA.

Yep, I'm the guy you all hate, but me and guys like me is what makes it all go around. Doers not dreamers, winners, not losers.

End of scene act 2.

What we are seeing here ladies and gentlemen is the stuff legends are made off, such as the massacre at Virginia Tech. Columbine and so forth. The same psychotic behaviour that at come point justifies mass murder such as at the Federal Building in Oklahoma City.

Stedman's Medical Dictionary defines psychosis as "a severe mental disorder, with or without organic damage, characterized by derangement of personality and loss of contact with reality and causing deterioration of normal social functioning

People experiencing a psychotic episode may report hallucinations or delusional beliefs (e.g., grandiose or paranoid delusions), and may exhibit personality changes and disorganized thinking. This is often accompanied by lack of insight into the unusual or bizarre nature of their behaviour, as well as difficulty with social interaction and impairment in carrying out the activities of daily living.

Why would you think anyone hated you. Your life is your life. The best thing in your life are your children. There is no thing that you have that is equal to them. I have two sons in the Navy, they were born and raised between Hawaii and 100 acers that I had in Indiana. I had a stocked two acer lake, half mile long drive, two story house, barn, forest, tractor, deer, wild turkey, hawks, foxes, pheasant and about twenty acers of lawn that I mowed. I believed that nature was the greatest teacher and the fortunate thing was that I had enough money that my time was my own and spent all of it with my sons. I taught them about the fossils that were in the stream that ran through my property, taught them to shoot a bow, a pistol, how to throw a boomerang, how to fish and before they were six months how to swim. And I had a jewelry store in Hawaii, with thousand dollar trinkets. But they are both in the Navy now, it is odd that it is no longer the same, they are living there lives now. So now I am in Rio, my inlaws are all professionals, they all drive MBZ's, they are engineers with some of the biggest companies in Brazil. I am a member of a country club that overlooks Leblon. My time is my own, I write, I sculpt. Rio was one of the places on Earth to see, I have yet to go down the Amazon, but that was on the agenda. You are not your things. That you have these things is no small feat, I am well aware of what it takes to create a financial dynamic that generates significant monies. I did what you are doing ten years ago. I do not think anything denegratively about your ethnicity. Your mother must be most proud of what you have accomplished. I know Cal Northridge, my mother lived in the Valley, she died last year. It is odd to be without parents or children now. It is a change of consciousness. I spent thirty years building a business, the store in Hawaii was open 7 days a week 14 hours a day 365 days a year and employed two goldsmiths and four sales staff for ten years. It was one of the most successful jewelry stores in Waikiki. I made trips to Bangkok to buy ruby and sapphire, Hong Kong to buy pearls and jade, Tahiti to buy black pearls, Israel to buy and cut emeralds. I manufactured what I sold. We are not our things, they are only things, but our children they are the magnetic north of our lives. My son just bought a 27 foot inboard, and dives off the San Clemente Islands. He is in process of becoming a SEAL. He was just in Hawaii and cought his first Marlin. My other son is involved at school in nuclear engineering as a submariner in South Carolina. They are in good hands. That is what I am most concerned about. I do not have to work, my wife is published and in the process of being published. She is a designer and a graduate of architecture. I am glad that you are successful, I am not intimidated by other peoples' success. I prefer people be successful. My existence does not depend on anyone elses opinion. Nor does my existence depend on anyone elses failures. I prefer Paris to Rio and will visit Prague. You are very proud of your many things, but they are just things, they are not you. The rightness or wrongness of your life does not depend on the success or failure of other peoples' successes or failures. And equally axiomatic that just because they are wrong doesn't make you right. Pride cometh before the fall and the people you meet on the way up are the people that you meet on the way down. There is always room at the top and most people spend their time working instead of making money. In the jewelry business it just takes one idea to make money. The Pan American Games are here in Rio in July, the government coined a limited edition of 30,000 coins, I designed and am in the process of designing a pendant for the coins. The bezel will be manufactured in Providence,RI: then there is the selling, the wholesaling and distribution, but another axiom in business is that nothing ever goes right in business. You get a percentage of the million dollar idea. The single constant is that the only constant is change and if something can go wrong it will. Enjoy your successes, nothing is guaranteed. Personally I get sea sick, so your invitation to stonecrabs is appreciated, but. . .Anyway, I learned a great deal about you today, there are doers and those that have done. You are a doer, you have years to go before you are done. Fair winds and following seas. Tchau

I am sure you can write it off as one of the stupidities you commit regularly and forget about the property.After all you are floating on so much money that a s**t hole you have in Cabo Frio is of no consequence to you.

I really don't undertsand how a man can live so far from his two young sons, the Navy is a stop, a career, not a dad. You must miss them very much, I just couldn't do it.

To Joao, you are very welcome, I am pleased to show you who we really are, you see, most American's are just like me, not the drop outs on this site that live in Brazil, you are getting a slanted view of American's, but no one on this site can help you be one. Brazilians come here to be screwed and I like most American's oblige them, perhaps the big question you should be asking is...why do so many of your citizens come here to be expolited? Hmm, things are that bad in Brazil? As far as Columbine and VA Tech, the first is a direct result of our big problem, the baby boomers created Gen X, now we have to live with them. VA Tech was committed by a new Korean immigrant...hmm, another case for illegal immigration reform? The problem is, why are not people as concerned with the hundreds of thousands dying in Darfur, or the 500 Sunis killed by s**tes in an Iraq market place. Or the hundereds that die every year in Rio? Does Globo only cover the US, like I said who really gives a s**t where the Amazon is located, when an American research institute will patent a cure for cancer, Aids or the Avian Flu...you can take that to the bank. It's all relevant.

I am one of the few who will admit our problems, funny how Brazilians always point fingers to hide theirs. I could help Forest, no doubt, but why should I? What can Forest do for me? Funny, just today I had a Brazilian associate ask for a $1300.00 loan so his daughter could join one of our Boca soccer clubs, he just could not afford it. As a coach and board member, I probably could have gotten her a sponsorship reserved for those less fortunate families that had kids with talent, his daughter certainly has talent, she could have joined and played for free. Do you know what I did? I lent him the money, now he owes me...that's how things are done here, nothing illegal, morality is perception, but it is the American way. His daughter benefits, someday, perhaps when I need my home painted, so will I...having chips to cash...so important.

I have to take leave again, I'll pop in again sometime. But I do have a real job and will be traveling to Belize with customers for a few days of Tarpon and Bonefishing...it's s tought job, but some has to do it. Hey Forest, let me know if you are still down there and I will let you guard the boat...on second thought...

My brother-in-law can stay in Cabo Frio, it doesn't really matter, I made a few bucks on the deal, now for me it's over, pretty much as waste of time. It will take a lot more than a few carpet bagging Brazilians to make me pennyless. And while Bo needs his British investors, I can easily finance my own deals myself. By the way, not scolding Bo, but he should be careful about his own scolding.

As for Forest, I can assure you, I will not lose any sleep worrying about some burnt out Nam Viet who can't even keep his own boat a float, but if he blows up a boat, it won't be mine, and he will probably blow up himself...perhaps doing us all a favor.

Those who have to talk about it have a problem, and are normally not the top people. This is also true in aviation and in fine arts.

And people for whom the question is money, real money, avoid ostentation and downplay the figures often because of tax and security concerns.

Hummer is used as slang for a form of oral sex, where the giving partner makes a humming sound during the act, to add a source of vibration. Frank Zappa used hum as a pun in his song, Dinah-Moe Humm, with the reference being both to this slang usage and the hum made by a dynamo in operation.

Off to see the Wizard

Once upon a time there was a little yellow toad crying in the
forest. The good Witch came along and asked the little yellow toad,
"Why are you crying, my friend?"
The little yellow toad said, "All my friends are green and I'm yellow.
I want to be green like all my friends...sniff, sniff."
The good witch replied, "No problem!" And she tapped the little yellow
toad with her magic wand and the little yellow toad turned green...all except his
private parts, which remained yellow.
"Oh no!!" exclaimed the little toad, "I can't go through life all
green except for my private parts! You have to make me green all
over!"
The good witch said, "sorry, I don't do private parts. You will have
to go see the Wizard!" So off the little toad went to see the wizard.
The good witch continued on into the forest where she came upon a
little brown squirrel crying very hard. "Why are you crying, little
brown squirrel?" the good witch asked.
"Because," said the little brown squirrel, "all my friends are red and
I want to be red too...sniff, sniff."
"No problem!" said the good witch. And she tapped the little brown
squirrel and turned him red...all except his private parts, which
remained brown.
"Oh no!!" exclaimed the little squirrel, "I can't go through life all
red except for my private parts! You have to make me red all over!"
But the good witch said, "Sorry, I don't do private parts. You will
have to go see the wizard!"
But the little squirrel started crying harder and said, "But I'm new
around here! I don't know the wizard! How will I find him??"
And the good witch said, "Oh, that's easy! Just follow the yellow
prick toad......"

From: 'A Modest Proposal for preventing the Children of Ireland from being a Burden to their Parents or Country'

Bealeeza - GTY - could you like fly a confederate flag or something so forrest can be certain it's you - he's needing something on the move to sight in that new peice of his ya know.

Wow, Bo, your the big time business man in some backwater thrid world beach town, that is really f**kin impressive, couldn't make it here? The only reason you are there is $5.00 pizza and 50 cent beer, and the $20.00 pussy, let me know if you get to Boca, to can lounge in my pool, or if you like, I'll give you the keys to my boat. But don't stay to long, you don't have the brain or balls to make it here.


Couldn't make it in the states??? Not that it's any of your business, but I've already posted this info. about myself on this site. Bud, I made my cash in the communications industry back in the late 80's and 90's. Worked for a company called Frontier Communications, we were formerly Rochester Telephone. Were the first company to "bundle" communication services. Young group of go-getter hustlers, mostly ex-athletes, and not "soccer" players, real contact sports, not girlie s**t. Most of us made millions in stock options. Wasn't unusual to see someone in his early 30's, even late 20's, who had a million or two in stock.

My partners and I have invested millions in brazil, of our own cash. Worse comes to worse, the beachfront property we bought has already tripled in value from the purchase price, we've already gotten the building permissions in hand, we can simply sell the property with the permissions if we choose not to build the 107 units to another foreign investment group and walk away with a tidey sum. The point is, it doesn't matter. What matters to me is the upbringing of my daughter and her having the participation of a father in her life. But I'm fully aware, for many people, possibly even yourself, that would never be an issue, that would be the childs problem, you would simply return to the U.S., period.

Your inadequacy oozes in your posts..."the son of a mexican immigrant". Oh, you mean the son of an illegal alien, right?? Well good for you, there are some of you that are doing very well, and as Ric has stated, in my experience in life, normally people that are doing very well don't have the need to be obnoxious about it.

As far as your "Boca" lifestyle, buddy, I'll bet I was travelling to Lauderdale and Boca for spring break when you were just a baby, first time in 1981. My friends fathers all had condo's in Boca, I used to stay at my buddies condo across the street from the polo club. He used to date a girl named Sabrina Doubleday, daughter of Nelson Doubleday, heard of him??? He owned the NY Mets at the time.

You, as well as others, have doubted my reality before, it's difficult to understand why, especially for someone so "successful" as yourself. You must be aware that there are millions of "successful" people, which obviously you gauge by the size of ones bank account. I asked you to call me, you never did, nor did Dana, nor Ana. Next time your in brazil you should make it up to my neck of the woods, I'll have you over for lunch in my new apartment, a building where the president of this, and the minister of that, live. I'll show you the photo on my mantle of my grandfather in 1967 in a meeting in the white house, with several other owners of coal mines in WV, Pa., and Va. with several senators, one being Robert Byrd, who is still a senator today, with the most years in the U.S. senate than any other senator in U.S. history.

If you want to start swapping stories I'll bet ya a dollar to a donut that I have more than you, afterall, my family has had cash since the early 1950's, and you're the son of a mexican immigrant?? What does it all matter?? You, or myself, having cash means nothing. It just goes to show that one doesn't have to be a genius to make money in america. He can even be 2nd generation w*****k with an inferiority complex with the need to scream to the world..."look at me, I've made it, I have a pool and a boat."

Just scraping by in Brazil, wow...impressive! Need some Limey's to throw in a few Euro's to help you get some $5,000 condos off the ground? I'm sure you made them some return on their investment, what would be some pocket change for me. I have read all your crap and Joao's recent white rage, typical Brazil, push them and their racism always come out, even though everyone of them have some African blood, instead of embracing it and being proud, they are ashamed and attack others.

But you are the king of this little insignificant crocthy old hippie bunch, do you and the Prof ever get together and listen to Frank Zappa together? That must be exciting. You can sure impress them, but never me. I am impressed by people who put it all together when and where it matters, for thier family and country. Instead of running around S. Florida, you are running around in the jungle...the mighty whitey...hey, your never going to be accepted as a Brazilian, give it up.

Like I said in a previous post, there is a reason you all stay down there, some to live on their tiny social security checks, some hiding from the law or IRS, some dodging child support, oh Mark my words, everyone of you, besides the Gringo wanna be Joao don't come back BECAUSE YOU CAN'T to many secrets. By the way, it is much more than "just a boat", it is magnificant! And I do enjoy stonecrabs...at $9.00 a claw, don't even have to worry about how many we eat...enjoy the 50 cent Skols down there.

As for Forest, I won't be flying a Confederate Flag, I'm not from the South. But I'll be on the look out for a Glock packing, no teeth, burn't out VietNam vet with "a piece", that old coot is so frigging nuts, if I see him I'll probably die of laughter.

First of all, I'm 41 years old, not collecting social security just yet, but do receive periodic checks from Prudential Bache. And our condos start out at 350,000 reais and go up to 460,000 reais, that's 175,000 dollars to 230,000 dollars, and we don't do financing. 60% of the purchase price will be paid up front. That's why we're selling to the english, they're accustomed to paying in cash.

My first spring break in Lauderdale I was 15 years old and the guest bartender at The Button. And once again, you couldn't be more incorrect in characterizing me as a hippie, preppy would be more accurate than hippie.

And as far as me not coming back "because I cant"??? LOL!! I make several trips a year to the states. Matter of fact I'll be coming in June and will be arriving in Miami. Maybe we can hook up and you can wash my rental car.

Stoned Crab Stick Pussy
written by Professor, April 30, 2007
After having gleaned from GTY's poetic degregation of pchotic psychobable I am left with only one item of tangable value, Stoned Crabs.
Apparently the stoned crab(hippy mercenaria) has a addictive effect:One restaurant in Miami Beach, Florida, called Joe's Stoned Crabs, has based its entire business around the Florida stoned crab and the waits are often as long as five hours to get a table.

The addictive psychotic effect causes otherwise normal law abiding citizens to stand in line for 5 hours! This can be also classified as the Munchyhausen syndrome.
Side effects include an insatiable urge for stick-pussy.(vagina erectus)
stick pussy:

The penis of a "she-male."

As used in a Savage Love column April 2006:

A taste for she-male c**k—a.k.a. "stick pussy"—is exclusive to straight-identified males
or
the womanly figure in a homosexual male relationship or if two male are riding a motorcycle, the on the back is referred to as this, ie;

Good Idea, mus'nt loose another boat, ne?


Who loses another boat? GTY or Forrest? On second thoughts, your Red Alert was an extremely fine gesture on your part. Forrest may end up rescuing GTY and his customers when Titanic II sinks after hitting the sand bar of the coast of Belize.

I am talking about Forrest, what I mean is he should not shoot the sh*t out of the boat trying to find the target!
If he hits the correct target he can save the boat, unless Forrest is a crack shot with a Plasma Cannon? Now that I think about it if GTY (being a x-infantryman) and his family are armed to the teeth with the latest technology as well, it could turn out to be the mother of all battles!
We await a field report!

Forewarned is forearmed and the odds are in Forrest´s favor. You have transmitted your Red Alert to him and he has not acknowledged it.That means he is calibrating his Plasma cannon and waiting stealthily to lay an ambush for Eldorodo and her crew .Pvt.GTY's family members may be well armed ,but they are not on board, preferring to sit at his home in Boca and watch the Novelas.GTY is accompanied by his customers and by the time they reach the Belizian waters, they may be sea sick after consuming vast quantities of various stuff. Thus GTY may end up surrendering his vessel to Forrest after firing just one single shot at his OWN foot.

Anyway, didnt you mention sometime ago that you own a couple of orbiting satellites? Cant you keep track of the coming "Mother of all Battles" using their high resolution cameras and transmitting it live to all of us?

We have been focussing so much on this thread that we missed out AES and GTY in another thread.GTY was trying to divide and rule and our super hero aptly defended himself.

I also managed to locate the Admiral of our fleet Forrest, and passed on the Red alert message and invited him to come over to this thread.Admiral.Forrest was reading the article "Brazilian Politics: Navel Gazing in Brasília - Largesse in São Paulo ". I think that AES must be in his studio and meditating.May be he will come out of his meditation in an hour or so and start checking our coded messages.

So if I've missed a point or re-made the same point, apologies. Regarding:

"Os EUA mostram o mapa do Brasil sem a Amazônia. Mas que audácia dessa gente. Com que direito essa gente mexe no mundo?", disse o dep**ado. "Tenho horror aos EUA", afirmou em seguida.

Amazônia not on maps made in the U.S.? No, I wouldn't think so. Amazônia is a region that encompasses territory in Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Bolivia, a couple of Guianas and maybe a few other odd nations. It is a 'region', and on political world maps we generally leave the regions out. Amazonas, on the other hand, is a state, and clearly appears on my made-in-the-USAworld map. Leaving out Amazônia doesn't at all seem audacious to me. On the other hand, and I'm saying this as a U.S. citizen, "com que direito essa gente mexe no mundo?" stings more than a bit. It is if the good deputy is outraged that (in his opinion) we don't get our maps right, and by the way he doesn't approve of this business in Iraq either. But maybe I'm taking him out of context.

Columbia a source of our addictions? Would that be the District of Columbia or Columbia University?

Actually I think that there is a discussion about this issue, because of a silly comment made by an idiotic deputy who has nothing intelligent to say. This guy doesnt know that educated foreigners including the Chinese, Indians, Kiwis, Ossies, etc; immediately associate the Amazon with Brazil and not with the other countries you listed. I get a big laugh when they say that the American Atlasses and maps dont include the Amazon as part of Brazil!. When I used to travel to U.S.A frequently, the first question the kids used to ask me was what we were doing to save the Amazon (forgetting that the forest encomasses other neighboring countries too)!.

If I were you, I will forget the stupid deputy and wish that he doesnt get reelected. Magnus Brasil probably has more to say. He made a beutiful comment a few days ago, re this issue.

Well, 24 hours ago I received a phone call from one of my english buddies that lives in the condo on the beach where 33 of the homes are owned by english. When he phoned he said my name in a very low voice and when I responded with his name I got no answer, we then got disconnected. I called back and got his voicemail. Something seemed fishy so I went out to his condo, which is at least 25 mins from where I am, and he was locked in his house. I called the police and my friend actually made it to the door and opened it. He had been shot in the upper leg and the bullet hit a vein. His floor was covered in blood, I've never seen so much in my life. He's already had surgery and is stable.

The Professor's Art is Limericks, Joao. Poetry is usually relegated to high thought. Now that is not to say that a Limerick cannot achieve poetry, but it is usually the provence of Fraternities. Limericks are often found in the company of Puns. And once again this is an American university sport. This is intellectual whimsy. Neither would be considered as Literature, though a good Limerick and a good Pun are often cleaver enough to be deemed Literary Art.

Limericks - The History
Variants of the form of poetry referred to as Limerick poems can be traced back to the fourteenth century English history. Limericks were used in Nursery Rhymes and other poems for children. But as limericks were short, relatively easy to compose and bawdy or sexual in nature they were often repeated by beggars or the working classes in the British pubs and taverns of the fifteenth, sixteenth and seventh centuries. The poets who created these limericks were therefore often drunkards! Limericks were also referred to as dirty, ribald, bawdy.

Limericks - A Defence - Shakespeare even wrote Limericks!
Admittedly the content of Limericks can often verge on the indecent, the dirty, or even the obscene, but they make people laugh! Limericks are easy to remember! Limericks are short and no great talent is necessary to compose one - Limericks are a form of poetry that everyone feels happy to try (especially when inebriated!). Limericks as a form of poetry has survived the vagaries of time dating back for centuries! And whilst the poetic and literary skills of Shakespeare are not requisite for the composition of a limerick the great Bard himself did in fact write limericks which can be found in two of his greatest plays - Othello and King Lear.

IAGO Some wine, ho!
