And in places where one has to get a smog certificate in order to license one´s vehicle and the vehicle won´t pass, the only way to sell the vehicle is to an illegal alien. And they can drive it until the time runs out on the license, then drive it home to Mexico. Right over the border with no police roadblocks. This is an educational web site, and many Brazilians who are used to driving through police roadblocks and being stopped, searched and harrassed, on a regular basis, may not realize that in the USA that kind of acivity is generally prohibited because the lawperson has to have "probable cause". Entering the USA from Canado or Mexico you can be stopped, entering Calif. from another state the fruit police may question you, and once in awhile the cops may have a drug-searching activity that blocks off a city street. But no regular, random, warrantless intrerdictions. It´s ILLEGAL. So an illegal Mexican can drive around as long as there is nothing suspicious appearing or an infraction of the traffic laws. Also in California even with the officially licensed smog stations whose equipment is directly tied by phone line or broadband to the DMV in Sacramento, there are ways around the system and guys that will smog your old car anyway, and there always will be. Because the poor have to get around too and there is very little public transportation in most areas. - Ric Wed, 21 Feb 2007 15:13:04 +0100 http://www.brazzil.com/home-mainmenu-1/175-january-2007/9786.html#comment-22230 In 'America' the poor drive cars. - aesaac Sun, 18 Feb 2007 09:17:54 +0100 http://www.brazzil.com/home-mainmenu-1/175-january-2007/9786.html#comment-21080 [quote]... written by A brazilian, 2007-01-30 17:11:39 the U.S. GOVERNMENT GIVES more money and aid than any other country on the face of the planet.

But in GROSS dollar amounts and TOTAL aid the U.S. gives far more than ANY country on planet earth....want the links?

That´s more than can be carried in the average person´s kwecas. No link in there, are you? Well get out of there while you still can. Get a link. And keep fighting US foreign aid, we´re with you. Foreign aid is the Walmart customers in the US providing the Idi Amins of this world with Kweca money. - Ric Tue, 30 Jan 2007 18:34:56 +0100 http://www.brazzil.com/home-mainmenu-1/175-january-2007/9786.html#comment-21051 [quote]the U.S. GOVERNMENT GIVES more money and aid than any other country on the face of the planet.

And your horseshit about "treating them like little kids", laughable! Their gov'ts are desperately poor and "some" even MORE corrupt than brazil.....if you can imagine that!! - bo Tue, 30 Jan 2007 16:45:57 +0100 http://www.brazzil.com/home-mainmenu-1/175-january-2007/9786.html#comment-21038 [quote]Bill Gates and Ted Turner ALONE has given over 3 Billion dollars to Africa over the last several years[/quote] That's not "the US", it's some individuals only.

But see how well they are doing now! :) One day I saw an interview of an african politician, he said these kinds of "help" only keeps that continent dependent on foreign countries . Think, wouldn't giving clothes and food for free destroy any possiblity if a local industry to grow? Why would they buy anything or work if they can have anything for free? Have you ever asked yourself that they are grown ups and should be able to solve their own problems? Isn't it sort of treating like little kids? - A brazilian Tue, 30 Jan 2007 14:10:38 +0100 http://www.brazzil.com/home-mainmenu-1/175-january-2007/9786.html#comment-21020 [quote]... written by A brazilian, 2007-01-29 10:34:28 It's not true that we don't help poor countries, in fact we provide more aide to Africa for aids and other countries for food than any other... That's not truth. [/quote] It is true bozo, want the statistics??? Bill Gates and Ted Turner ALONE has given over 3 Billion dollars to Africa over the last several years. And the U.S. is by far and away the biggest GIVER of aid, financial and otherwise, than any other country in the world. When making comparisons to the U.S. in this respect, one must compare it with the whole of europe, and the U.S. STILL gives more. - bo Tue, 30 Jan 2007 09:03:53 +0100 http://www.brazzil.com/home-mainmenu-1/175-january-2007/9786.html#comment-21010 What I like is when A Brazilian, who actually does pretty well in English, talks about the "poors". And I misspoke myself saying that the rest of the world hates the U.S. I have been all over Granada and they don´t. Thank you Fidel for that wonderful airport you built, I can take off using only about 10% of it. - Ric Mon, 29 Jan 2007 20:45:07 +0100 http://www.brazzil.com/home-mainmenu-1/175-january-2007/9786.html#comment-21009 To quote Archie Bunker (speaking to the Meathead) Ric, "Don't you feel great knowing that you belong to a country that if it wanted to, could blow away the rest of the world?"

See the dollar currancy, it's losing its importance. See its culture it is denigrating more and more. And see its self esteem. They have lost it completely, at least the Republicans.... - Oliverr Mon, 29 Jan 2007 16:28:13 +0100 http://www.brazzil.com/home-mainmenu-1/175-january-2007/9786.html#comment-20983 I think it bothers other peoples that Americans care so little about what people in the third world, or Europe for that matter, think about America. It´s an unspoken relegation to irrelevance. Even if unintended. Americans go to sleep at night secure in the knowledge that any foreign country that attacks America during the night will be toast by morning. Can one put a price on that? - Ric Mon, 29 Jan 2007 16:07:24 +0100 http://www.brazzil.com/home-mainmenu-1/175-january-2007/9786.html#comment-20980 American republicans are the nazis of the 21st century. - Oliverr Mon, 29 Jan 2007 14:45:52 +0100 http://www.brazzil.com/home-mainmenu-1/175-january-2007/9786.html#comment-20971 [quote]It's not true that we don't help poor countries, in fact we provide more aide to Africa for aids and other countries for food than any other...[/quote] That's not truth.

In WWII we bombed German cities on a regular basis and finally dropped the nuke on Japan, funny how that made people wake up and end a war. I miss the days when we knew what it would take to win a war. It's not true that we don't help poor countries, in fact we provide more aide to Africa for aids and other countries for food than any other, we also keep the lights on with our payments to the laughable UN, poor countries do not help themselves. Instead they prefer to slip back to the 18th century by impowering Mullahs and implementing Islamic law. Isn't it ironic that they poorest most backwater countries in the world are Muslim ones? Islam is a religon of lies and hate, Muslims are morally week and what the hell, why not blow themselves up, what do they really have to live for anyway? A few goats and an abilty to abuse women and children and a chance to get a few Virgins in the hereafter, give me a break what dribble.. All you European countries, especialy France and England with your large, poor and Islamic educated Muslim populations, you will pay a terrible price, will you step up then? Or concede your democracy to them? We not only have the right to defend ourselves, we have the right to bomb the shit out of any backwood shit hole that threatens us or our way of life, even a percieved threat. And yes "I am ashamed to be an American, the primary targest should be heads of states. I enjoyed watching Sadam swing from my 52 inch flat screen. You, who are ashamed to be an American...tough shit, who cares, I'll bet you don't leave America you poor pathetic and blind fool. You go ahead and complain while real Americans with courage on the ground do the dirty work so you can live without the fear of being blown up when you go to the mail with your pathetic friends and talk about the war over your lattes. OK, so some one called me a Yankee Turd, I am a proud one, I will be a Yankee Turd any day instead of a third world or balless European piece of shit (England excluded of course). We still have the power and might and have been kind enough not to unleash the full force of our power, I think it is a mistake, one that will be corrected before Bush leaves office. You think those 2 aircraft carrier groups in the Gulf are there for play? Think again, there have not been many idle threats from the US in the last few years, I can't wait for those F18's to take off for Iran. For those of you who rant and cheer the enemy, fuck you, who cares, you are irrelevant, in fact you countries are irreleveant and your governments are impotent...God it's great to be an American, it really is the greatest place on earth. Go Bears! - GTY Mon, 29 Jan 2007 09:42:09 +0100 http://www.brazzil.com/home-mainmenu-1/175-january-2007/9786.html#comment-20964 [quote]Research about illegal bolivians in Brazil. Unlike some american a*****e that uses the sad fact of people being exploited and living badly as something to be proud of, I think they should come legally in order to have their working rights guaranteed.[/quote] What the hell do you think has been going on in the U.S. over the last two years??? Why do you think brazilians now have to have a visa to go to Mexico?? Because we want these people that are flooding into our country to come LEGALLY. But the law is something that is certainly not VALUED nor RESPECTED in brazil. It's one big reason that many brazilians, as well as other illegals, have a lot of problems in the U.S., because the law is not only respected there, it's actually enforced!! - bo Mon, 29 Jan 2007 09:29:02 +0100
