Comments for 18,000 Slave Workers Rescued in Brazil, But No One Went to Jail at http://www.brazzilmag.com , comment 0 to 2 out of 2 comments http://www.brazzilmag.com Sat, 28 Nov 2009 12:38:08 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.2 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/5504/1/#pc_2211 THIS JUST THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG. THE MERE THOUGHT OF PEOPLE BELIEVING THEY NEED TO USE OTHERS AS SLAVES TO ENRICH THEMSELF FILLS ME WITH DREAD AND JUST SHOWS HOW INCOMPETENT THEY ARE IN THEIR BUSINESS PRACTICE. PEOPLE WHO OPERATE LIKE THIS ARE SPINELESS NON -ENTITY\'S WHO ARE CAUSING UNTOLD DAMAGE TO THE REPUTATION OF BRAZIL. THIS PRACTICE MUST BE OUTLAWED WITH HUGE FINES AND LONG PRISON SENSTENCES OF NO LESS THAN 10YRS MINIMUM. IF THE GOVERNMENT REALLY WANTED TO IRADICATE THIS PRACTICE....THIS COULD HAVE BEEN ACHIEVED YEARS AGO BUT IT CHOOSE TO IGNORE THIS LIKE EVERYTHING ELSE BECAUSE THEY COULDN\'T GIVE TOO MONKEY\'S!!!!!!!! HAS ANYONE HEARD OF THE WORD (APATHY) OR (LOVE) OR (STONE)!!!!!!!!!! - Guest Thu, 09 Feb 2006 15:49:01 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/5504/1/#pc_2262 A true shame. No rule of law when one has money. Corruption to the highest levels Impunity is almost in the constitution, same for corruption, otherwise many should be in jail by now. Even worse, what is not said in the article, that a landowner who used slavery, cannot even go in jail because there is no law on this subject. The only thinbg that happens is that the landowner get a fine, not even very often, then he he is on a black list, he will get more or less a few visits from officials looking if he doesnt have slaves again, he cannot sell his products to the government and he cannot borrow money at favored rates through the BNDES. BUT THIS IS ONLY FOR 2 YEARS. J U S T 2 Y E A R S !!!!!!!! THEN HE CAN START ALL OVER AGAIN WITH SLAVES, GETTING LOANS FROM THE BNDES (CONTROLLED BY THE GOVERNMENT) and even sell his products to the government ! THAT IS AN INSULT TO DEMOCRACY, DEVELOPMENT AND TO HUMANITY. BRAZIL IS A MEDIEVAL COUNTRY. AND THEN LULA WANTS A PERMANENT SEAT AT THE U.N. !!!!!! HE SHOULD CLEAN FIRST HIS OWN GREASY, STINKY AND DIRTY POLITICIANS, TO WHOM HE BELONGS THE WORLD IS NOT UNITED WITH BRAZIL !!!! BRAZIL DOESNT DESERVE A PERMANENT SEAT AT THE U.N BUT DESERVES RATHER TO BE EXPULSED FROM IT. BRAZIL HAS ARCHAIC LAWS. BRAZIL HAS NOT AND WILL NOT END SLAVERY. BRAZIL HAS NO DOUBT FAR FAR MORE SLAVES THAT THE TRUNKED, FAKED AND MANIPULATED ESTIMATES. ON PURPOSE OBVIOUSLY. BRAZILIAN GOVERNMENTS ARE NOT PEOPLE THE WORLD SHALL TRUST AND WE SHALL NOT EVEN DEAL WITH THEM. THEY BETRAY EVERYONE, STARTING WITH THEIR OWN CITIZENS. THEY JUST PROMISE, PROMISE, PROMISE, PROMISE. BUT COMMITMENTS AND WILL, THERE ARE NONE. BRAZIL THEN EVEN DO FORUMS TO EXPLAIN THE WORLD HOW TO REDUCE AND ELIMINATE....SLAVERY, POVERTY, HUNGER ETC ETC !!!!!! NOOOOOOOOOO ! JUST A BUNCH OF CROOKS AND LIARS THESE BRAZILIAN POLITICIANS ! BRAZIL SOCIETY DESERVES A MUCH BETTER FUTURE. - Guest Thu, 09 Feb 2006 14:31:36 +0100
