Will Brazil Become The Next Venezuela?

If so, I’ll let some of those fine young men take refuge at my home.

The whole continent is on track to becoming a setting for Planet of the Apes.

I am surprised Argentina hasn't yet- their peso is in the gutter and inflation is rampant. Their ex president that cunt Cristina Kirchner was good friends with Chavez and worshipped Castro! They used to make fun of her by saying Por Favor...Por Dior.

OP. Yes. Next question?

Yes, but with much hotter guys.

Much hotter indeed.

No, they have free elections. They'll get aide. Same thing with Argentina. Venezuela does not have free elections, so aide is largely denied. Not to mention they won't accept the little bit they get. Argentina and Brazil would most certainly accept any aide.

Don't forget about us. Outcalls have dwindled. We're on our way to the US. Tell me, where do girls like us go to snag a rich straight guy?

Fuck, that guy in OP's photo is hot! I'd give him any assistance he could ever need, financial or otherwise.

r7 Aid.

Why don't Venezuelans just go crazy trying to overthrow the government?

The Chávez government banned private gun ownership in 2012. Tough to fight a corrupted army plus the street-gang militarily armed party "militias".

[QUOTE]I'd give him any assistance he could ever need, financial or otherwise.

Lots of Brasileños will need our help.

[QUOTE]Why don't Venezuelans just go crazy trying to overthrow the government

Venezuela's government is a huge drug cartel that uses the Venezuelan armed forces for tactical support. The Venezuelan people have tried incessantly to overthrow the chavistas but stick and stones are no match against military weapons.

R9: I bow to you.

There is a major rightwing movement gaining power in Brazil, largely because of a skyrocketing Pentecostal and evangelical population. Even Carnival is being affected as many believe the scantily clothed throngs and hedonism are immoral and should be curtailed

That will be rough for Saturday morning kids shows.

[QUOTE]Even Carnival is being affected as many believe the scantily clothed throngs and hedonism are immoral and should be curtailed

Scantily clad raw hedonism is one of the best things Brazil has going for it.

RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Rio’s evangelical mayor attended the ceremonial opening of this year’s Carnival on Friday after being sharply criticized for ducking out last year.

However, Mayor Marcelo Crivella did it in a way that many Carnival revelers will find strange.

Crivella was present for Friday’s handing of the city’s key to the Carnival king, but did not do it himself as previous mayors have done. Instead, he had a famous Rio family do it and then stepped away quickly.

Crivella is a bishop in Brazil’s powerful Universal Church of Kingdom of God and was elected mayor in 2016 with the help of the evangelical vote. Many evangelicals oppose Carnival.

Crivella has also cut about $1.5 million in funding for the famous samba school parades.

After the ceremonial opening on Friday, Crivella told journalists he doesn’t hold any prejudice against Carnival and called the bash “just a party.”

“This thing about me handing the key has become a religious dogma,” Crivella said. “The key was always handed to the Carnival king. Has that made education better? Healthcare? Is there anything very important in this?”

Revelers have criticized Rio’s mayor with their costumes, shirts and songs. Popular samba school Mangueira plans to feature a float depicting a butt with Crivella’s name on it.

Rio’s mayor said he accepts criticism and that Carnival is a paradoxical time for the city.

“We live with our hearts torn by violence, by inequality,” he said, adding that many poor communities “need so much.”

The mayor did not say whether he would go to the Sambadrome, where samba schools will parade and compete on Sunday and Monday while thousands watch. Earlier on Thursday he inspected the Sambadrome building and was accidentally showered with water from a hydrant.

That shift can be attributed in large part to the increasing power, both cultural and political, of the evangelical church in Brazil. Today, nearly a quarter of Brazilians identify as evangelical, up from 5 per cent in 1970.

When it comes to the sinful extremity of Carnaval, some evangelical leaders encourage their followers to simply sit out the party. One of Brazil's most famous evangelical pastors, Silas Malafaia, warned on his website that "this festival of the flesh brings degrading physical, moral and spiritual consequences", adding: "It is therefore not appropriate for Christians to participate."

But some evangelicals know Carnaval can be impossible to avoid. So, like the social progressives, they are attempting to transform the festival into one they can endorse. In the city of Salvador, for example, a group called Salt of the Earth will parade to Brazilian funk tunes - one of Brazil's most salacious music genres - adapted to include lyrics referencing the Bible. Another group, called Christafari, will parade to gospel reggae music.

The OP article so you can read it.

What if the UK had colonized Brazil? Would it be a giant Bermuda?

Bargains to be had now

It's like all of $30 to enjoy a guy.

5 years ago Brazil was gonna be the next big economy . WTF happened? Was it all hype?

Iberian incompetence. All over the world.

No, Turkey's having enormous problems with their currency right now as well. I read somewhere that capital is flowing from these developing countries back to the US because of the interest rates getting higher.

Correct, R30.

[quote] One reason for the pressure on the lira is that the United States Federal Reserve has been raising interest rates and drawing international capital away from emerging markets like Turkey. It can be remedied if Turkey raises interest rates, analysts say.

It's an IQ thing, I've learned from DL. Average IQ in Brazil is 87. 100 is average.

Average IQ in Venezuela is 84...

R33, Israel & Canada are also in the double digits.

Hot amazing looking guys yest huge social problems unsolved for decades. No wonder there are lots of angry people.

r32 The USA isn't on that list?

Here, R37. US IQ average = 98.

We already have thread for pics of hot Brazilians. Don’t post them here.

[quote]Iberian incompetence. All over the world.

Yikes. Stop with this hateful bigotry, Iberiphobe.

R40, just want to note that it's not racial... but yes, it's bigotry.

But then, can't you say there's such a thing as French snobbery? Or English uptightness? What's wrong with saying Iberian incompetence?

There's nothing wrong with it per se, but a casual glance towards Italy or Britain right now shows you that no one has a monopoly on incompetence; it's a universal gift that keeps on giving.

R42, well then you just expand it to being Mediterranean incompetence, lol.

[quote]casual glance towards Italy or Britain

My glance must be too casual; what's going on there comparable to Brazil?

R44, Google News - Italy economy, Turkey economy. Britain... I'm not sure what's wrong there.

[QUOTE]Will Brazil Become The Next Venezuela?

Not if America gets their first!

Which we will!

Of course!

Venezuela has the added complication of being a major oil exporter, it comprises the bulk of their economy and almost all their (legal) exports. Until recently it had extremely rich and productive agriculture and food exports but Chavista policies have largely brought farming to a halt (like Stalin and Mao’s collectivization schemes). That makes sense for the government since it then can monopolize food imports and distribution as a means of control. The chavistas have stolen billions of oil revenues while slowly starving the population into submission. At least the Gulf Oil sheikhs pamper their subjects to some degree - Islamic clergy and and aristocratic noblesse oblige serve as some check. With socialism you don’t even get that. And for the hysterical Bernie fraus who think “democratic socialism” is different - it’s not...as well one day find out. Oh, I’m a Democrat by the way before the Red Guards get riled up...

[quote]Britain... I'm not sure what's wrong there.

Brexit negotiations; in that they are in shambles. Their prime minister is the very picture of incompetence.

Also, London doesn't need to be burning to recognize incompetence. One is a developed country and the other an emerging market. Some perspective, please.

r44 Better invest in some casual news reading to broaden your glance, then.

[quote]It's an IQ thing, I've learned from DL. Average IQ in Brazil is 87. 100 is average.

Still higher than the average IQ at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.

This should help matters.

Escaping Venezuela: They pour into Brazil by the thousands looking for work

Brazil of course can't support even its own poor.

No way is the average human IQ 100.

R52 Yes it is, Donald -- and the average penis size is NOT three inches, despite what you've been told.

Another day in paradise.

Brazilian president sends in army as truck protest paralyzes country

São Paulo, the biggest city in South America, in state of emergency over fuel shortages while markets run out of food

“I have actioned the federal security forces to unblock highways and I am asking governors to do the same,” Temer said in a televised address on Friday. “We will not let the population do without its primary needs.”

No, but the butt crack is still the new cleavage.

So many men are selling sex in Brazil. Almost as common as in LA.

I wonder how many gringo tourists answer those ads and are never heard from again.

R47 do better Boris. Putins involvement in Venezuelas oil economy screwed the country.

But, please yammer on with your word salad.

R58 - nice try dipshit. I see the “Russia conspiracy” troll has come out. No sweetie, Venezuela’s chavista rulers and ultimately Venezuelans themselves are repsonsible for their predicament...socialism (democratic or authoritarian) never works in the end. Ask any Venezuelan with more than a fifth grade education and they’ll tell you the same.

Did the wealthy evacuate years ago?

There are tons in South Florida.

Watching the live stream of the Sao Paulo pride parade now. Brazil *seems* fun. Hot guys. A few too many trannies.

Just talked to someone at work who has actually lived in Brazil. He said he wouldn't want to go to Brazil now. It's very dangerous there, lots of crime and corruption, more than it's ever been according to him.

How could they have the "IQ" or "average IQ" of countries. It doesn't make sense.

I hope not. We don't need them here. Tell them America is full up.

O pais do futuro. E sempre será.

R29 has a point. Mixing the Spanish emotional culture with the island people. Bad combination.

Can switch a hot Brazilian for R65’s fat ass?

What a dump! Brazil should be vaporized if not at least sterilized. Has to be the lowest of lows beyond any nation on this earth. Mexico is a haven compared. If you don't believe me then you need to visit some gore sites. The sickest mutilations and murder that make ISIS look like boys scouts. Flip flop wearing genetic disasters. The prison gore is not to be believed. Children with limbs hacked off before they are beheaded. Nothing gore can really phase me at this time but the videos coming out of there since January, cause PTSD and I've had to close them down while shrieking. Animals. No selective breeding caused the latest generations of beneath pond scum nonhuman to ever walk the earth. Don't believe me? Then head your ass over to best gore. I warn you they are the main supplier to the most hardcore gore genre. Garbage coming out of Brazil used to only be available on the dark Web. Go to the above mentioned site and you will never view the human race the same again. It will change you forever.

Recently some Brazil judge charged Olympic swimmer Ryan Lochte with some petty bullshit and the reaction was 'Are you fucking joking?' If anyone ever dares a boastful brag of hailing from there, your eyes will glaze over like a doughnut.

WARNING you, you take a trip to BG and you'd better brace yourself. Puke bag at the ready. Terror and trauma will stamp itself onto your eyeballs. A child's arms hacked off above the elbows while completely conscious. A prisoner attacked being forced to eat his own severed digits. The only lesson you will learn is that we share a planet and species with these cretins. You just can't get any lower than the population who inhabit Brazil. They are the bottom.

r6 Proof that a melting pot produces the hottest men.

Most of the Latin countries are absolute shitholes full of crime and social ills. And they still don't get it that socialism doesn't work. The media will glorify places like Rio as fun places but you have to watch every move you make lest you get robbed or killed there. Some vacation.

Trolly trolly trolly!!
