Technically speaking, Brazil is a "Third World" country. When these definitions were made, first world was western, capitalist countries, second was the communist eastern bloc + russia + china, and third is everything else, most of Asia, Middle East, Africa, and South America. This includes relatively rich countries like saudi arabia and poor countries like haiti. /threadjack. Stay safe Brazilians, your country is growing at an impressive rate and cracking down on these mobsters can only make things better. | ||

Ficaria grato... é complicado ficar ligando para parentes pra saber como estão a cada 30 minutos... Back to english... man that really sucks, i saw on some sites.. near 20 deaths and a lot of vehicles burned down.. stay safe and keep us updated since apparently all media sources are being instructed to keep news low. | ||

Not the fact that they suck but for all i know media tends to LOVE to broadcast social chaos, fear is by far the easiest way to get rating. Theres barely any competition, media is almost monopoly in Brazil. they will get endless money either way. | ||

Brazilian media loves to broadcast scandals and cruel killings... when it has government issues wrapped in chaos they mask it to appear less serious than it really is. | ||

So many Fans from around the world will travel there and the government, as they are brazilians, dont want to show the world a city, which is in such a "bad" shape. They want it to be nice, clean and foreigner friendly. In my opinion, thats not wrong. I think the biggest problem is, that there are so much organised criminals, due to the fact that they could nearly do whatever they wanted for a long time as long as it was in their favelas - that the government is facing ja huge problem now. In my opinion, the only way to get rid of this criminal "brood" is to do such a showdown. I hope you and your family and all the normal people over there that u really stay safe during this. - i gotta say that my knowledge about this is only made by german media and some english news sites oder documentary movies i watch sometimes. i'm sorry if things differ a lot in reality. | ||
