Oi me amigo Tudo bien.

I lived in your fine country for one year 20 years ago. Youre people have a great spirit and a tenacity,but youre government needs its ass kicked! In a modern sense youre nation is 500 years old.Come on meu amigo! All I hear from Brazilians is "I AM SO POOR,WHAT CAN i DO"? There is no excuse! Someone is fucking up big time! you cant keep blaming everybodyelse. Also If your e poor in USA ITS LIKE BEING A BRAZILIAN. In the UK you recieve free treatment regardless.

@ikelaw You only show whith your words to all this world your low intellect... You should not...

@Soraia27 Thanks God you have warm climate. Russian people say: "any place is better where you are not". What that life would be if there (in addition to the poverty) is -20C outside?

@esiosan Okay well I apologize, though I really haven't heard of any tent cities in the U.S. in the media. I'll have to search about this.

@GGLebo23 I was just contrasting the poverty Mr. Maguila is depicting here with the wave of tent cities across the US. Whereas the dirty shanty houses in Rio at least has bathrooms, running water, electricity and other basic amenities. The tent cities in America have nothing except a mattress and the tent itself. Pretty shocking stuff. No I don't hate the poor.

[GGLebo23]

@esiosan Wtf? Dude, I'm American and I have never heard of tent cities. If they are here than they aren't a widespread problem. This sounds like a typical comment from someone who inexplicably hates the poor.

I guess he recorded this documentary in the worst slam in Brazil. He should record a new documentary plotting what the brazilian goverment is been doing against the poverty, how reduced it was since the stabilization of our economy and how many brazilians migrated from the poor to the middle class. There is no other country in the world which reduced the poverty dramatically as Brazil did and that's why Ms Hilary Clinton says that Brazil is the model she wants the U.S. to follow.

hey maguilla you should listen to a song called "3rd world" by immortal technique...

is really educational, listen to lyrics

[esiosan]

Search YouTube for tent cities in America. In comparison with tent cities, brazilians are lucky to have bathrooms and electricity. Tent cities have neither.

Nobody ask to be poor. Some of you making ignorant comments, should instead be thankful for what you have.
