Poverty in Brazil?

In the middle of the nothing people will live like indians, what would you expect?

A fine french restaurant above the trees of amazon?

Just another stupid and childish gringo... You should take a look at your own contry... USA is in a terrible decadence.

AND PLEASE, take a look at a geography book at least one time in your life before making dumb documentaries about other countries...

@aclarindo to understand whats going on over here u must to see yourself,then u will get my point,i am not saying we dont have problems,what im saying is not how it's pictured,and there are interest on it by europe and usa,but anyway sorry if i was rude,i was just a litle upset,cos its a serious matter especially for me...if one day u decide to come over all be willing to offer my place to stay anyway...peace...

@aclarindo with that i must to agree,but brazil is not whats been picture,at some point i like that cos is not harmfull anyway for us,but when foering country use it as an excuse to get somenthing it piss me off,as they did with other countries they are doing in roraima,by the way,the natives there dont even speak portuguese anymore,they speak ENGLISH for fuck sake,and there are loyers formed by uk and usa,on top of it,we as brazilians are not permitet to go in some of this place...

[aclarindo]

@xdouglasbr what's the point u trying to make? What I said is that Brazil is fucked up because brazilian don't want to change their country. they are not interested in politics. they accept everything politicians do with their mouth shut. Brazil is full of corruption, violence and poverty all over the country. Who rules the country today ? PT and PMDB. How many time have they been involved in huge corruption scandals for the past 8 year? many, many, many time. and u still vote for them !

[xdouglasbr]

@aclarindo good argument anyway,i couldn't expect any better,but just let u know,my mum lives near to the natives,we usually go there to play football with them,i know the kaygangue natives from PARANA,near to TAMARANA,I DONT SEE FROM INTERNET,I AM NOT A MUPPET OF POLITICS GAMES,I SUGGEST U TO GO FURTHER DONT BELIVE IN EVERY STUPID GUY WITH PICTURE TO BE A GOOD SAMARITANE,THRE ARE ALOT OF INTEREST ON IT,MORE THEN U CAN IMAGINE,SO BE CARERFULL WITH YOUR CONCLUTIONSGETMORE AND DIFFERENTS RESOURCES

[aclarindo]

@xdouglasbr  fuck off .

[xdouglasbr]

@aclarindo u fucking moron,we are not talking about jamaica u wanker...and because we are not stupid like u we know what is going on with the natives(indigenas),for your information,the most important indigenist(i think u should know this,cos u know a lot about Brazil i presume),his name is Orlando Villas Bôas,was warning about the Foreigner invasion using as an excuse the amazon and the natives,thanks GOD we still have peaple with common sense as General Augusto Heleno,u are so stupid...

@AllAboutBrazil FOR THE PAST FIOVE DAYS THERE IS A WAR GOING ON IN MOST FAMOUS BRAZILIAN CITY. 45 VEHICLES WERE SET ON FIRE BY CRIMINALS AND 27 PEOPLE DIED IN SHOOTING BETWEEN POLICE AND GANG MEMBERS.

FUCKED UP !!!! SHIT HOLE !!! AND RIO DE JANEIRO VOTED FOR THE SAME GOVERNOR AND VOTED FOR THE SAME PRESIDENT (DILMA AND LULA IS THE SAME THING). RIO IS GOING DOWN THE DRAIN ! I DON´T THINK OLIMPICS AND WORLD CUP WILL BE SAFE FOR TURISTS !!

[aclarindo]

@joikeas THAT´S THE MOST STUPID THING IVE EVER READ.

[aclarindo]

i dont fucking care either. im just teaching you about whats going on with your country because aparently you have no fucking idea.

anyway. if u don´t live in Brazil, it´s ok. if you go back to live there one day, i wish you good luck.

[aclarindo]

@baleiabranc u really don´t know what you are talking about.

Pornography, homosexuality, drug abuse, corruption, poverty, bad education.

this is perfect to describe Brazil.

watch english tv and tell me if you see naked women in the afternoon tv programs.

the police in England don´t carry guns in the street. could you imagine the brazilian police in the streets without guns ? rsrsrs impossible !
