Fred is old. As much as I like him, I'm just waiting for Felipao to cut him. |

Brazil is, unlike Turkey, another emerging economy, actually a functioning democracy with a president who endorses social progress and demonstrations. What I've read however, is that Brazil has had large problems with corrupted authorities and I'd imagine segregation (which is never a good thing) is still a problem. |
Here's a good take on this issue :)
We don't trust authority figures here, and with a good reason :(

This is a fact. Walk through a mall in Brazil. Inflation has jacked up the prices so high, even with the exchange from USD to reals, it's not worth spending your money on anything down there that you can get where I live. The protectionism doesn't help either. It's a jacked up economy for sure. |
It's been like this for quite a while now, unfortunately :( |

Yeah, that's exactly what's going on. Uh-huh. Anyway, here's an article about it, and I've commented on it extensively (you can just scroll down to the comment section... the Guardian is probably the only news site in the world where you get to actually have a discussion). |
You should join the cops as a reservist for a while, go out and gas, beat and shoot rubber bullets at a couple of people to get in touch with your inner fascist. It'll make you a much more balanced individual having always having been in happy-hippy academia land :D |

No way man. That guy is always at the right place at the right time. You could tell he was frustrated yesterday because Brazil focused too much on Neymar's side. There were many other time where either he or Lucas were wide open and the ball went the other way. |

I'm not really there to buy things anyway; but I feel for the people who live there who do need to pay for things.
I'll be visiting again this summer. Can not wait! We'll be swinging by Rio and I'm hoping to catch a jogo do Fluminense! :D |

Sent a video to the BBC. If they ever air it, tell me! :D
By the way, gotta love the internet:
Brazilian police driven into the sea by protest on 6/19 in Rio.
It happened here, and the "sea" is barely 50 centimetres deep :stongue: |
