Therefore, you know where is goes, because you live with this all your life. This isn't hate, is just what WE lived until now.
And i will even enter on the discussion about over-budgeted projects or construction, because it will happen. Our history don't lie.
You want to come to Rio? Sure, come. But be careful, try to the maximum to say "I'm a tourist" and be alert ALL the time.
I'm harsh with my country because i watch all the others and I feel extremally ashamed on how our country is being taken through the time when you see all the others. Then why dont you make a blog exposing all the corruption involving the olympic investiment, make something good of your dissent, right now, everyone seems like a bunch of cry babies that do nothing other than complain, and dont recognize the amazing steps we took towards a better country and better politics.
Progress in economy, yes. Progess in politics = close to nothing. Or you think the election of Collor is a sign that the country is getting better? Or the most recent, Sarney? Please, dont tell me we made amazing progress. Dont fool yourself. About the olympic investiments, they are going to be made, but you really think it will be all according to the law, given the history about this type of investiment our country have?
I dont want ot turn this into a discussion about Brazil and Rio deep aflictions, but if its so obvious that these problems will be involved, why dont you do like me and take them for granted, and just enjoy the good stuff that will come ?
Wanna know why? Because i thought with Rio trying to be elected as to receive the Olympics, they would see this type of things we know it exist. But they gave a chance for us. Now, at least they will make this country a little better just for the others to see, not because they want to this country to progress, like many others. And you really think that we should be blind to everything, to think that only the end matters, but all the stuff we do to make it to the end is just negligible? It will come good stuff, sure it will. But at what price? A tip for you: try to find the final budget of last Olympic Games (yes, its raw numbers I know, but use it just as a parameter, not a response)

What I think is that you are one sad Brazilian

Not sad, im realistic. If you think our country is an wonder world, sorry for destroying it

Ppl, please dont listen the hater kids here, they dont know nothing about life and think its cool to bash they own country.
A kid come here and try to say "Not sad, im realistic. If you think our country is an wonder world, sorry for destroying it"
Lol
How old are you? Do you surely live in Brazil? Because if the answer is yes you are saying no more than the obvious for everyone but you. You are acting just like a fool who only criticizes but never build nothing. Enjoy your emptiness.
Be it for a good or a bad reason, the thing is, a lot of investiments will be made and all the things they build will stay for decades after the games ends.
This is not a discussion about the Brazil problems, it is a praise for a lot of investiment will be made for the city and our country. End of argument.

You need to grow a thicker skin. Get used to criticism, it is only made so that things can be brought to light. Maybe being an American has made me used to harsh words (Hello World), but you have to get used to being in the media spotlight.
I mean, look at China's Olympic games. What was the bigger issue, the amount of money going into Beijing, or the censorship and government gripping the games tightly.

This is cool. Such a big vibrant city with a huge sports culture.

Seriously Railz, I just wish you were Brazilian and could understand how danieldrsa or me were truly feeling, people try to make it look like anyone who isnt a harsh critic of govt action is like a huge cliche suck up of stupidness and naive, and it just isnt true.

I don't have to be Brazilian to understand it. I hate when people try to defend something that is obviously wrong here in the US too. I don't like harsh critics either, but just disagreeing with a certain aspect of society doesn't make it harsh, it is a sense of reality.

Right, you think the government will do nothing about Rio's violence issue?
Don't be a fool, Rio will get a RIDICULOUS amount of money for this event. It is a great opportunity for the city of Rio to improve. If you honestly think Rio in 2016 will be the same Rio you see now, you are quite mistaken.
On the contrary, I'm guessing it will be the safest place in the country to be.
Sure, we got problems, doesn't mean us hosting the olympics will not be a great opportunity to improve Brazil's image. Just look at China, I'm sure people now realize China is not a bunch of rice eating people living in farms whose government is a bunch of mean commies.
Furthermore: You want to come to Rio? Sure, come. But be careful, try to the maximum to say "I'm a tourist" and be alert ALL the time.
Assuming the Rio you mean is the one today, why the hell would one want people to know he is a tourist??
I'm quite indifferent as to what soil I was born in, but I sure am proud for this HUGE opportunity Brazil is getting

Rio de Janeiro is the country with all the bare boobs right? J/k, but the first thing that came to mind when I heard south america was gonna host was "can they really afford it?"
Hosting the olympics is potentially ruinous for any country, and south america is all djungle and mud amirite? Doh there I did it again >_<

Good job Rio, hope it doesn't suffer the same problems nearly every other city that has hosted the Olympics suffers, especially Athens..
Also, on Chicago losing the bid, I found their reaction to that hilarious: + Show Spoiler +

Did anyone catch that joke on the Daily Show where Obama was like, "i would go argue at the conference to get the Olympics in CHicago but instead I'm going to work on Healthcare.
And then he went anyways.

told ya, when foreigns think about Brazil what comes to their mind is Rio de Janeiro, (naked huge ass & boobs girls, sun, beach and soccer, slums and violence)...always 
i know yeah that was a joke but cmon... i had to quote anyway :D
every state here have very different culture from each other. i.e. in Bahia, northeast of the country, you will find a heavy african based culture, while if you go to the very south of Brazil, in Rio Grande do Sul, you will find out that the culture here is based on european countries, mainly Italy and Germany (hell, there is a small town near where they all speak german... wtf?!)
anyway, Rio is, indeed, one of the most beautiful spots of the world, if you go to the right places
