More evidence of your inability to think outside your pillow. I suppose you will now enlighten us with SIGNIFICANT PROOF that they are not useful? It is already obvious how incompetent you are, with your deciding that the US was incapable of gathering info but Brazil could, as in your demonstration that US 5% vs. Brazil 10% unemployment was really US 20% vs. Brazil 10%... Statistics are always difficult to collect. But as much as is possible, that is what governments do. Your feckless "what good are they" pretty much confirms the vacuum inside your cranium. But thanks for your continuing babble of "yay brazil, boo USA" The more you say, the less you say.
. Yoshytrader: Besides this, to make a strong point, if you claim that US is headed to big trouble (while i think too) you should compare to different economies around the globe, not only brazilian one. Doing this the reader notices your bias and everything you say loses credibility. ****** SouthAmerica: Please give me some ideas which countries we can compare against the US economy for me not lose my credibility â if I compare the US economy against Zimbabwe, Somalia, Haiti, Sudan, Togo, Afghanistan, Grenada, Vietnam, or even Albania â that would help to build some real credibility? What do you suggest? That I should start comparing Brazil with Mongolia? Thank you for your help, BTW, there is another person on this forum who operates under the same mindset as you his name is traderzones. .
yes. The mindset that: ...southamerica is to objective as ice is to fire and ...southamerica is to intelligence as a quark is to the Andromeda galaxy. BRAZILIAN CONCEPT OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
here's southamerica discussing economics he asks about hiroshima http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y7j-F0sgD_Y
, May 21, 2008 SouthAmerica: Reply to Trader Zones Talking about major signs of a collapsing empire you donât have to look any further than: Hurricane Katrina and the 4th world type of response by the US government to a major crisis that the entire world was watching live on CNN. Even the dictatorship in Burma is providing a better response today in Burma to their current crisis than the US government did provide during the Katrina event. But if you want to discuss massive toxic wastes then I doubt there is any country around the world that come even close to the United States in that area. The is no contest here since United States is by far the worldâs champion in that area HERE ARE A FEW EXAMPLES OF AMERICAN CONCEPT OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. It is no wonder that Americans are getting cancer in the United States at a rate even higher than the growth of the US national debt â the double death of a nation. Toxic waste still plagues American communities 27 years after the U.S. government set up a program to identify and clean up the countryâs worst sites. A one-year investigation by the Center for Public Integrity reveals the beleaguered state of the Environmental Protection Agencyâs Superfund effort, uncovers the companies and government agencies linked to the most sites and tracks progress of the clean up. http://www.publicintegrity.org/Superfund/?gclid=COD7opvwuJMCFR30IgodORZACw Superfund: 1,623 Sites Nearly 100 companies and the federal government are linked to 40 percent of the total sites represented above. One out of two Americans live within 10 miles of a Superfund site. By the way, I would not be surprised if the information on the above website it is just the tip of the iceberg. Please check that website since they have a lot of good information about the state of things all across the United States. .
. May 21, 2008 SouthAmerica: Reply to Yoshytrader and TraderZones You guys are so concerned that I make many comparisons between the United States and Brazil on my articles and postings on these forums. I probably will continue doing that for a period of time maybe for another 10 or 15 years, but after that I would not have much of a reason to mention the United States anymore - In the same way that today we donât mention that often the British Empire. The transition period already has started for a number of years and as the United States becomes more and more irrelevant to world affairs I will write less and less about the US and more and more about the new areas that are more relevant from the Brazilian perspective such as China, Europe and the Middle East. .
Quote from southamerica: You guys are so concerned that I make many comparisons between the United States and Brazil on my articles and postings on these forums. The truth is, you are making comparisons because you suffer from penis envy
SouthAmerica, Because we got a fresh start to built our country from the ground up we will always be the greatest country in the world. Brilliant minds at that time learn from mistakes of other countries and the rest is history. The US is like a good trading system, right now it's in a draw down period but the system will bring the account to new hi again. Unlike the rest of the world's government, when things are bad enough, we will vote someone in who can lead it in the right direction. Our constitution allows us to do this. That's what make this country so great and it will continue to be great. No system is perfect but taken as a whole, ours is the best for now.
Interesting. I'm good friends with a Brazilian family who live near me. They won't even take their children to Brazil when they visit because they say that crime is so rampant and they fear for their children's safety. Maybe I should also tell my uncle , a Catholic priest, who has worked in shantytowns helping feed, teach, and clothe poor people there for 40 years that he should just come back home because the Brazilians no longer want his help, now that they are so much more prosperous than the US. Maybe you will then go and help them? Something tells me no. You're probably some dork who'd be robbed and stripped naked in ten minutes flat if you were in one of those neighborhoods. Being a NY Yankees fan (the team people love to hate), I should expect this, but I find it pathetic that so many of the people here from the third world feel it necessary to constantly tell us how much our country sucks. Does it make you feel better? Personally, I wish Brazil the best. Every country has morons in it, as we can see from reading your posts. Contrary to your wishes, Brazil's gain is not the USA's loss. Economics is not a zero sum game. You obviously have more talent for trolling than for economics, or reality for that matter. By the way, Brazilians seem to still be flocking here, as I meet them constantly. Maybe you could go troll in a Mexican forum, and they'd start going to Brazil instead of here.
