Am I the only pissed Brazilian around here?

It seems everyone in Rio is partying because they got the 2016 Olympic games. Well, I live quite south of Rio and I really hate the news. Olympics are a very risky business with huge opportunities for scams, overspending and corruption. Just ask Salt Lake City, London, Beijing or Vancouver. Better yet, ask Montreal[^]. And Rio is very far from being a honest, organized, peacefull and well-run city; even for Brazilian standards. We just invited the fox to the chicken house; or the vampire to the blood bank. They say the Olympics will bring publicity and projection to Brazil. Bullshit! The only industry that can benefit from Olympics is tourism (e.g: Barcelona). However, when it comes to international tourism the simple truth is that Brazil is simply too far from the best customers (Americans, Europeans and East Asians). Olympics will not fix that.
Of all forms of sexual aberration, the most unnatural is abstinence.
People said pretty much the same when Sydney won the 2000 games. Turned out to probably the best thing to ever happen to this city and I believe many Australians outside the tourism industry and outside Sydney benefited greatly from the games.
I wish I was as fortunate as fortunate as me

Where were hos suitcase and laptop? Sorry, but as an African, in a highly criminal country, if I wasn't sitting on them, I wouldn't even bother reporting them stolen.
He put them down against a pillar and stood in front of them. He was distracted by a man coming up and ranting in his face in Portuguese who then fan off and got into a car, and when he looked back they were gone.

Well, AFAIK Brazil is the largest producer of shemale porn movies, so in 2016 tourists might kill two birds with one rock. :laugh: "They say the Olympics will bring publicity and projection to Brazil...." Well, in my country corruption goes up & above the primeminister, and world companies come to us for investment aka dirty money laundry, so you're not a lonely observer. Example- our health ministry bought US FDA-unapproved and untested(!) vaccine for 300.000 euros from some obscure american company - they probably got some good provision, scandal is wide-known and nobody's responsible. :|
