Comments for Washington's Annual Report on Brazil's Bad Behavior at http://www.brazzilmag.com , comment 0 to 14 out of 14 comments http://www.brazzilmag.com Tue, 01 Dec 2009 06:39:48 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.2 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/7997/54/#pc_7720 In this century there will be no place for "poor farmers" here in Brazil, just as there hasn´t been a place for them in the USA for decades. Mechanization will continue to make subsistance farming not viable. That´s one reason that the whole agrarian reform idea is so atavisitic and impossible. Times change, and at one point all inhabitants of what is now Brazil were hunter/gatherers. Then most were agriculturalists, all work done manually. It´s time to move on in our thinking. - Ric Fri, 09 Mar 2007 15:16:44 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/7997/54/#pc_7711 "Reports done by the U.S. government aren't legitimate???" Yes... they all are... just like the one that says that Iraq had WMD's, and led the U.S. to believe there was a good reason to invade Iraq... Or like the ones that justify an embargo to Cuba, for the human rights violations, but still the U.S. looks the other way when dealing with China, a country marred with a total disregard to any rights to anyone... The U.S. is the leader in the world for double standards... It's very easy for the richest guy in the world to criticize his poor neighbor next door for his dirty lawn, for not having painted his house to look pretty, for not taking his kids to a good school, or for not controlling the fleas of his skinny dog... that's what I also see: it's very difficult to solve all the problems that are present on most developing coutries, but it's very easy to print a lengthy simplistic report on it. Rather than pointing out the finger at Brazil, why not drop the huge subsidies unjustly given to the well off american farmers, and let the fair rules of an open market allow the poor farmers of Brazil have a chance to strive and to help improving the standards of living of this country, that already has a natural talent for food production, but continues to struggle with unfair competition, and proteccionist rules from the Developed World... Great report, but there is obviously a political agenda behind it... like every other american government publication... - E.R.S. Fri, 09 Mar 2007 13:09:46 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/7997/54/#pc_7680 This report has no legitimacy because it was done unilaterally without any help from any organization to ensure the truthfulness of the information in there. It was released at the same time of the Bush's visit to Brazil, and this is no coincidence. This is clearly political propaganda. The most effective lie is not a plain lie, but a half-truth. Augmenting the problems, making unprovable claims, and other techniques are used.

Unlike your mother, who always told you "Não doeu, não doeu", it´s gonna hurt.

In addition to the tens of thousands of jobs and the inevitible fear that there really is an interest in criminality and that this is only a begining. Sugarcane prison farms that are able to pay for themselves. Nobody wants to work sugarcane least of all criminals. The FACTS presented demand that it is imperative that if Brazil is to thrive to exist it must undergo legal structural alterization. The problem is criminality including the criminality of its justice system. It is a shame it could have been a great country amongst great countries. If it continues on its present course it will continue to be a graft ridden, untrustworthy, third world graft taking banana republic, unworthy of trust or investment. - aes Thu, 08 Mar 2007 02:53:51 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/7997/54/#pc_7649 the trafficking of illegal brazilian nationals to the u.s.a... - all american Thu, 08 Mar 2007 02:43:14 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/7997/54/#pc_7641 Buddy, I hope you read that report, word for word.
