Ummmm.....some of those are not women. Be careful choosing your feathered friends!

I envy you. James Lord, sorry I didn't make that trip in 1968 with you.

Do these Brazilians ever go to work or do something except partying? Man, I am jealous!

It seems like everytime I turn on the news lately; the Brazilians have some parade going on, free booze, Bikini wars and free, eeh ladies? Forget Vegas...Rio on my mind....

Brazil is a filthy country. Brazillians are a filthy people. Most of the women there have rotted teeth. Keep up your little Brazil fantasies, the reality of that country is that it is a cesspool.

A inveja mata ...

Shiny!

Sparkly! Very Sparkly!

DavidNWIndiana said "Hedonism"

OH MY GOD NOT THAT!!! What will we do

(I suggest getting a sequined lime green shirt and doing a dance in the street!)

Where is that darn Bedazzler when I need it ?

"These definitely aren't my underwear."

May I suggest, moving?

I lived in Brasil for 8 years, albeit in the northern city of Fortaleza, and loved it. Especially Carnivale time.

I, like most people, would close down my store and head out to a small beach town for a week or two, and have a blast.....My kids loved it too.

I don't know why people here have to put them down....The people there still believe in family, and society, and neighborhoods......They just don't let religion make them crazy.

For example, my mother came to visit(she was a very religious Catholic), and she would complain about the state of dress at the church......My wife(a native Brasilian) explained---it was more important for the kids to be there than to worry about what they were wearing.....not to mention it was 120 every day, all year long.....

Shame we aren't more like them....at 5pm every day, people would bring chairs out of their homes so as to sit and talk with their neighbors--letting their kids play together.....they mainly lived the 'live and let live' mentality.....depite being much poorer on average than people here, they all seemed much happier than people here....probably because they don't feel the need to outconsume their neighbors so they can look down on them...

I'd definitely still be there if I hadn't gotten divorced....wish I could go back too, before our country goes completely nutso!!!!

I wish people here would finally understand that we don't have all the answers and that we might learn something looking at other countries.....The middle class there is actually GROWING!!!!!

I hear

I grew up in the Caribbean. A lot of days go buy when i miss it. like you said there is not a whole lot of industry so unless your starting a company there is not much to do there. But as things get worse here the thought seems great.

OK, Have you ever seen a Real Carnival? not just glimpses on tv or computer. Carnival represents everything about life. Explore the world outside of your pc.

OK! Truth, everything doesn't have to be Marcy's parade and Mickey mouse others people have their own parades that are exotic and different from "stale-marcy's parade". It just shows volumes of your limited travel around this world, and lack of cultural diversity on your part. Travel, get enlightened. Rio has it's problems like any other part of the globe, but they can still have fun.

OK! Truth,

Wow! Sounds like you're a real party animal. I bet you're a whole lot of fun.

Lets define "Hell"

Two possibilities:

A. Carnivale in Rio letting loose and having a glittery fun time

B. A week in rural Indiana hitting the local mall for the big sale at Sears

YOu know I bet most of the people who go to Carnivale ....decided to go and are not 'freaked out' in the least.

OK Truth. LMAO You're too funny.

I bet when you're in church you dont raise you elbows past your waist if you even attempt to clap. Dont stand up too straight, you might fall over backwards.

What happened to just some ordinary normal stuff instead of freaking everybody out? Weirdos!

Eating deep fried butter at the local county fair???

Jonathan I don't clap in Church

Mostly I avoid churches as they tend to have very little to do with God. God and I get along fine

And I never 'stand up straight"

I leap to my feet in a gay dance move. A God-given ability to rise with style

Sorry Frankly True. My comment was aimed at OK Truth but Im not sure I'd want to see you leap to your feet in a gay dance move either.

Stand up straight is a reference to "holier than thous" who are so righteous they fall on their own accord. :)

Why not I can dance like you would not believe

Come out and give me a twirl hon!

(Actually I am way to old to twirl, now I just kind of sway a little)

<JK>

Jack*ss!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ain't it great.

SRBINAT,

I think I've found a match for you. Contact "OK! Truth". But be careful and try not to have fun...

Could it be SATAN!!!!!--

Hey he is a party animal and I hear he can do a good Samba

Give the Devil his due then.

Yep Satanism.......... that is exactly what is going on in the USA. It surely is not in Brazil.

Technically it samba's.

You know, Battletide, instead of writting your comment you and your wife could have been reading the bible together. Don't bother trying to have fun.

Does your wife also have rotted teeth like the rest of the custy women there?

Maltich has a tooth fetish. Perhaps his wife has no teeth...who knows???

@Maltich--Go and crawl back to your troll cave along with all the other 1d1ots that have never traveled more than 5 miles beyond where they were born. Oh, yeah, and tell your mom/wife hello.

Yep, most of us don't want anything to do with god. We will have fun without wasting our life paying homage to an imaginary being.

Argentina has some great carnaval's tambien!

Isaac, you poor fool. Denying yourself the pleasures of life for some imagined eternity somewhere in the clouds. Dude, what a waste of a life, but it's your life, and your choice. I'll be out in the streets, dancing my way to a wonderful life.

You are alive at the moment, that is certain. Better make the most of it. Everything else is just speculation and wishful thinking.

Phooey on the Bible. I envy the people of Rio, they know how to have a good time. Hollywood should have a parade like this, complete with all of the excesses.

Revelers of FOX .....ye must repent for the debauchery of the T&A on Fox news. American christians......they all gravitate toward any passage that implies that sex is a deadly sin. As they do that, they skip over violence, corruption, theft, and the adoration of money. Using a single verse is a perversion. Read the whole book!

Let's see now, your God created life on earth. He made us of flesh. The only way we reproduce is through sex and lust. And you think that the celebration of flesh is contrary to your Gods wishes? This is the reason all religions are false.

@ Isaac: Most Brazilians believe in the Bible. If they feel like they did anything too naughty during Carnivale, all they have to do is repent afterwards, go to confession, and it's all o.k. And they get to do it all again next year.

Silly man, sinners gotta have some fun to ask forgiveness for! You must be very unhappy if you can't get a little samba spring in your step.

Mike you mean I cannot burn Michelle Bachman?

Damn

A degree in psychology will get you a job at McDonald's these days.

10,000 reis? That's like 3500.00, and you can have the heat and the traffic! I do love Joao Pessoa though, a true paradise.

Obvious questions to commenter #17: If Brazil is better than the United States, then why did your husband originally leave Brazil and come to the U.S.A.? Why did he overstay his visitor's visa and remain in the United States past the allotted time for a visit? Why did he marry and work and try to legalize his status to stay here permanently instead of going back? Finally, why did he fight so hard to stop the U.S.A. from deporting him?

The Brazilians whom I've spoken to all tell me the same thing: Brazil has too much crime, and too few financial opportunities. Like your husband, once they come here, they don't go back, unless they are forced to by the immigration authorities.

So much for how wonderful a country Brazil is compared to the U.S.A.

Deportedtobarzil: First off it's Brazil. Secondly if you are making 10,000 reais that's only $5,771.68 US so if your pay check is annual then you must either be living on the beach or in a refrigerator box under a highway overpass! And finally if that's how you feel then I can with clear consience ask" Who needs you?"

No money clothing or luggage? Sounds to me like you're all set for Carnaval then.

Hot-n-Miami

Perhaps you see only the skin...beauty is inside and Key West is about not being Judgmental...it is about acceptance. I saw more beauty in my Grandmother than I would ever see in a Vogue Cover Model

Sure!!! Jesus and his Brothers adore and love beautiful women. Genesis 6 1-4

branxoz said "Got Jesus???"

Uh No? Did you lose him again?

hahahaha OMG that is the funniest reason for getting dumped I have ever heard. Did

She tell you that?? Or did her new man tell you that? You need to shop at Target

So your wife worked at Wal-Mart. Hmmmm.

I don't believe the Southern Baptist thing, after all "where you find four Baptists together, you usually find a fifth".
