Do NOT come to Brazil!
12 years ago
If you travel to Brazil, you might get harmed by the absurd violence that is going on here.
Please, take your time to watch this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_SnK.....p;noredirect=1
Citizens of São Paulo didn't approve the sudden increase of tickets to public transportation and so they got out on a strike. What was the government's reaction? Pepper sprays, rubber bullets and gas. Police even attacked press and they didn't care. They attacked anyone, even people who were just walking by and didn't do anything. What a free country.
More wrong stuff that is happening in Brazil nowadays:
Marco Feliciano, a christian pastor who has been seen directly asking money and credit cards from the members of his church, is being charged of confidence scams and also made lots of racist and homophobic comments in public has been elected as the president of the brazilian Commission of Human and Minority Rights.
In some public schools, professors are pratically being substituted by computers. There aren't professors there anymore, there are only monitors. So the students learn by computer programs and they advance in levels in these games. (I don't remember the name of the schools, so I am still searching for their names).
Nowadays, when a criminal goes to jail, their family recieves about US$ 428 per month while the family of the victim recieves nothing. Great. That payment is called "auxílio-reclusão" which means imprisonment allowance (I think).
In Juazeiro do Norte, the mayor has decreased the salary of public professors to 25%. People protested and as result, police force was used which caused harm to professors and to the others that were fighting for their rights (baton clubs and pepper spray were used).
Until now, abortion in Brazil is legal only in case the woman has been raped or in case the baby has Anencephaly. That might change...to EVEN worst! There is a law project going on in which victims of rape who got pregnant by their rapists cannot abort anymore. State will give the rape victims about US$ 353 per month...is that even enough money to support a baby? I would also like to know why does the embryo gets more human rights than the abused mother?
the number of occurrence of murders and rapes have increased a lot too. A little girl was raped just outside where I study and work!
Be careful!
