It was a rambling mess, not up to my standards. Waiting for another time when I am able to coherently argue my point.Quote:

Either way, it's an insult fail. If you wanna insult someone, here's how you do it.
Disagreeing with Chuck will strike fear in even the most liberal hearts.
It's interesting because Chuck Norris showed up on Bill O'reilly's show and said he wanted to be taxed so his wealth good help America.
Also, Ronald Raegan did a fair amount of good on the economic front, including but not limited to the 1986 tax reform act which, in part, closed tax loopholes that large companies and corporations were using to keep their profits.
So... I'm confused, Chuck. What are you getting at here, exactly?
Don't question. Just know.
The lip syncing is bugging the total shit out of me.
I'm just going to plant this delicious little seed right here...

God, I hope that's a sensationalist misquote.
Can't people choose their perspective in English? Opinions are personal and we generally only have one opinion on any given subject. But a single person can see the same subject from many perspectives. It's an exercise.Quote:

This is why Brazilians are poor, but that's not the current topic...
Also the US have much heavier and more liberal welfare politics than Brazil.
But I shouldn't be so harsh on someone who is from a country where Geography isn't taught at schools, or something.

I always wondered how it was the Brazilians fall for the same trap generation after generation .. Must be selective memory. Allow me to educate you on your own history. In the 1950's Brazil was the original economic "miracle". The China of is day, if you will. This was accomplished by general free market reforms. Then, around the late 1960's, you started to reverse this trend, going back into "Marxism" (at this time, damn close to Communism) and then your entire economy went bust. Same thing happened in the 70's, and then BUST! in 80's. Your country is, as we speak, in a bubble as big as China and you would have repeated the trend a third time, it it weren't for China front-loading all of its growth, to be taken in flesh later.Quote:

I mean, seriously, look that the growth for the last few decades.

If Brazil were a person, it would be a manic-depressive adolescent. Not even America comes close, and it's the most prone to booms and busts of any developed country.
Basically, your country progresses when it opens up but then busts when it starts to close off. Since being brought into the WTO in 1995, you've been growing. Now, you're Socialising more, and, hey, guess what, the cycle that had been broken is now roaring again. Brazil's economic history is basically just one gigantic roller coaster ride, progressing forward with free market reforms, then shooting yourself in the foot with ridiculous taxation. I should be glad, ensures there's no competition on this side of the pond.
We're taught geography. It's just not most of the rest of world is such a non-issue we forget where the fuck you all are at.Quote:

Besides, it doesn't matter how the rest of my country is. My knowledge of the geopolitics and economics is unquestionable. I've memorized all of the countries in Europe and South America and have read countless geopoltiical books. But, I ALWAYS forget several as time goes on because I never hear from them again. It's like all other useless school work, You forget it when you get into the real world.
As you can see, I already used my monthly wall'o'text credit this month, so you're off the hook. Needless to say, shorting Brazil's economy is one of the things I've made the most money on due to everyone's optmiism. And, since I'm using real money, I have to be quiet knowledgeable of it and, needless to say, Brazil's economy is a joke and I'm not even in the minority in seeing this ahead of time like China. The general consensus is that Brazil's heading for another massive bust. It's due to the price of hard commodities that people have gotten less poor, not Marxism. Marxism NEVER makes people less poor, only makes them FEEL less poor. Ask Russia.
lol even I'm not stupid enough to tell tychus he doesn't know economics, come on bra(zillian).
