Buy trying intimidating some members of ABUSANDO in Brazil & USA Demi Getschko and some other CGI members filed lawsuits in Sao Paulo & Parana state as it turns out CGI is obviously having some great losses pertaining to these law suits in fact one judge from Parana labeled CGI as an illegal entity representing themselves as government officials when in fact they are NOT an official and legal Brazilian government body. Read all about this law suits on abusando.org and follow this great battle for Internet governance in Brazil. :P - Abusando.org Sun, 22 Jun 2008 14:30:46 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/7069/1/#pc_4378 Geoff: The legal age of voting in Brasil happens to be 16. World Vision, Safer net et.all make millions from scandal, simply lowering the age EVEN to european standards or the right to vote would take the steam out of many of these \'good-doing\' NGO financial engines. How are you allowing Brazilians to have their own destiny by allowing outside NGO interlopers to aggravate the country on behalf of their surrogate sponsers in the more \'enlightened\' countries. If it is independent destiny that you are concerned about then Vladimir Putin and former president Ernesto Zedillo demonstrated it amply , the former fining one of these parasties &167,000 last week and the latter ordering them out of Mexico when they decided to attempt to dictate the internal poicies of Mexico. It is hard pressed to see what good these organizations are actually doing in works to help those who they claim are so victimized. In this particular case of Orkut the majority (not all) are teenager to teenager and that is not going to stop no matter how much the English speaking countries in their absoulte fits of morality are stuffed down the rest of the world\'s throats. Who is to say that the morality of the US is so good. Perhaps it is time to debate these issues rather then issue broad condemnations without thought. (By the way, since you are so concerned about the protection of children when it comes to child porn) you might want to turn your attention to the less evil practice of the death penalty for minors in the US and the increasingly numerous practice of trying \'children\' as adults!!! - Steve Wed, 16 Aug 2006 11:24:26 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/7069/1/#pc_4377 Steve, if the Brasilian government has found this to be a major source of child porn, and you argue against eliminating that, you deserve the fate of the witches of salem ANYONE who harms children, especially in this way, deserves no mercy, there is no \'cruel or unusual punishment\' for them...go take your conspiracy theory where it belongs, with the star trekkies.... Let the brasilians have their own destiny.....or maybe that doesnt fit into your economic model .... - Geoff Wed, 16 Aug 2006 03:59:12 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/7069/1/#pc_4376 Naturally it is the NGO parasites once again looking for scandal to promote their $$$ causes. Perhaps all this \'morality\' is not wanted. - Steve Wed, 16 Aug 2006 03:41:21 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/7069/1/#pc_4375 Interesting article, but it must be pointed out that although Orkut has never caught on in the US, Google has to be, arguably, its most popular search engine. - Louis Wed, 16 Aug 2006 01:11:24 +0100
