Peru, Bolivia. will follow... South America will become free of these stupid socialists... maybe not French Guiana, but heck they´re not even a country BRASIL! &^@# you Dilma and Lula!

From what I've heard and read, Rousseff's party was the populist people's party. Is this just Rousseff's government spin? Her party is calling this a coup d'état and that Temer is a return to elitist and capitalist government that Brazilians voted to kick out of office 8 years ago. Quote capitalism create jobs and competition... the more we have it more jobs we gonna have, a better economy... Bye bye Dilma. the Jail waits you...

aeromotacanucks Posted May 12, 2016 Author Share Posted May 12, 2016 nobody outside Brazil has the obligation to understand how things here work...

HOWEVER just keep in mind that it´s not our priority, it´s a sport event and bla bla bla. but we have a country to rebuild let USA, Russia and China get the gold medals. we want a gold country Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aeromotacanucks Posted May 12, 2016 Author Share Posted May 12, 2016 We are Brazilians: we complain about the poor service of the current airlines because in the past we had a Varig and Vasp who served lobster on a 45 min flight. but We want the SAME SERVICE with low fares... we say "no problem we can fix it alone" just because we don´t want pay 5$ for someone qualified enought fix it for us... we ride 5km with a flat tire because hell no we gona call the car insurance... we complain "we don´t have a lot of beaches to visit" even if we´re one of the countries with the largests borders with an ocean... when ISIS treat us of doing terrorists attacks here... we make memes and make fun of them... we impeach a president and on the next day we say "see how hot the new president´s wife is?" we protest because we´re protesting too much about a protest that we have being protesting for so much time... we have a session of impeachment from the Senate that last 24 hours... we have 2 years of recovery after this impeachment and we say "yeah. we have to do the 1st step" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe then we can graduate to that octopus that predicted all of Germany's matches in the World Cup. Just put a soccer ball as president and pray that the Germans aren't involved somehow.

My wife has met lots of new brazilions here in canada. that´s the problem... your wife decided to ignore what was happening on her home country... those who fled decided to ignore their home country... because care hurts, demand work, we get sad, sick... it´s not easy... BUT MOST OF US FOUGHT! most of us said "We gonna fight for this country" most of us went on streets by millions, we protested in Brazil, we protested overseas, we protested everywhere! most of us decided to engage the fight! not to flee. not to ignore, not to say "the hell with this country" no. WE SAID "WE GONNA FIGHT FOR THIS LAND" and we fought. we took the punches, we took the insults, the treats, the possible isolation from the world.. we suffered, we where sick, tired, sad, desperated... but instead say "so long Brazil" we said "it´s our land" so I´m sorry if your wife ignored Brazil because of the crisis... but many like me decided to battle, to fight, to take the charge and push foward... and now we did. so in the future when the new generations ask "What did you do in 2016?" many like me will say: I WAS FIGHTING FOR BRAZIL! I WAS ON THE BATTLEFRONT! and today. the people here are more proud of being a Brazilian than EVER! because we fought to the end! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
