    Default Re: Brazil

    What I take from our media here in Portugal:

    - People are pissed off over a number of issues that go from the price of public transports, general government irresponsibility and corruption, and the money spend on things like the world cup and the Olympic games instead of being invested in health and education.

    There are even people in Brazil asking for a boycott on the world cup:


    now, this video raises a number of valid and truthful points, but in my opinion ends up with choosing a wholly irrational course of action.
    The world cup is NEXT YEAR, the majority of the money has already been spent.
    if they wanted to protest against this thing, they should have done it before the stadiums were built/rebuilt, the money is gone now, the best thing to do at the moment is hope that people DO come and maybe they can recover some of the investment.

    What I take from my personal life and the local strip club:

    - Brazilian girls are hella hot and that ass just won´t quit!
    "If given the choice to be the shepherd or the sheep... be the wolf"
    -Josh Homme
    "That's the difference between me and the rest of the world! Happiness isn't good enough for me! I demand euphoria!"
