No I am not a wall street guy. I wrote about my profession in this forum previously. I am a media entrepreneur launching a new business

Hughdad, just out of curiosity, what type of new biz? More specifically, what media niche are you involved with?

[Hughdad]

You sound like one of those corporate wall street guys who is involved in hedge funds and currency trading who are the lowest scum on this earth and I have no respect for. Your a freaking clown talking about forward thinking from that corrupt ass govt. They dont even help their own citizins any forward thinking means corporate greed where the rich get super rich and the poor get poorer. Thats not positve thinking thats just going with the winning team. Thats not open minded thats just following the status quo. I will go on the record to say it again brazil made illegal payolla to get the 2016 games.

So how much promises of oil did brazil make to get these 2016 olympics?

Do you have proof they didnt?

No I am not a wall street guy. I wrote about my profession in this forum previously. I am a media entrepreneur launching a new business in Brazil. And you. You are a conspiracy theory guy. And wake up. The fact that the rich get richer is a global thing. Certainly not limited to Brazil. As a business person is it okay that I look to make some profits? I am sure everyone here is tired of hearing you make your Olympic bribery claims (and now you are throwing in Brazilian oil into the mix! ) It all may be true. But either show your proof or stop making your claims. And give the Olympic committee some credit for a great plan and presentation. That's all I am saying. You talk about all this payolla but yet you can't even figure out how to buy Brazilian cell phone credits and have to ask here for help. Without seeing your proof of payola there is just no reason to comment on this further here. You sound like a bitter dude that has not had success and you want to blame your problems on the government. I am neither pro or anti government. I am a free market guy and right now the free market in Brazil is good.

I dropped Skype after receiving scam charges through my PayPal account. This is rampant in the UK and there are numerous reports of it on the internet. If you don't have automatic refill activated you would probably never encounter it. PayPal (which owns Skype) initially balked at refunding the charges but my bank was able to adjudicate it with PayPal.

Good to know. I have had no such issues. Ebay just sold Skype.

SPB,

So you and I go at each other. But seriously, as far as phones go. I have been using Skype Internet calling more and more (both in the US and Brazil). More and more people are using it. It is free for Skype to Skype calls and cheap for Skype to landlines/cell phone on a pay as you go basis. They even have video conferencing for free (Skype to Skpye). About 1/2 of my calls are now Skype to Skpye and the video conferencing can be great with a fun-loving lady friend!

You sound buttsore and bitter if you ask me but you didnt ask me. Actually I was call up brazil about this joker who thinks he is a positive thinker dadhugh to get some intel about him.

Actually, I have had the good fortune to meet some of the forward thinking members of Brazil's government lately at sponsored events in the US. Bright and focused guys and easy to see why there is such a buzz about the upside to this country and the Olympics. I did not see you there. Of course, there will always be doubting Thomas' that can't see how things can change. This pervents them from being part of the change and even benefiting from them. (Sounds like you, right? )

So, if you can figure out your phone service in Brazil and can get enough credit in your "hotline" phone.- give these guys a call and have yourself a good little call. I am a positive thinker, not bitter at all.- and probably can also be called a joker. A joker who likes to get the last laugh. Especially from guys that just can't be open minded.

Still waiting for your evidence of bribes. I'll be here waiting.

Amazon keeps getting better everyday. They soon will have an international edition of the Kindle which will work in Brazil. Stock has gone from around $35 in Dec to $93+ today. Sorry if I didn't mention back then that it was a good one to buy. But, if it splits, mortgage your mother to buy it.

Went up another $26 on Friday. Agree and have been long in Amazon for awhile. What a great company.

Why, do you want to call the Olympic committee and get all the info on the bribes that were paid?

Look in the "Using Cell Phones in Brazil" thread.

Greetings everyone,

In recognition of his many great contributions to the Forum, I have given Quincas his own thread titled "Quincas in Brazil".

http://www.internationalsexguide.inf...ead.php?t=3095

Those of you who wish to join him in the discussions in his new thread are welcome to do so.

I've also moved all of his previous "contributions" to this new thread, creating a sort of "The Collected Works of Quincasl"" for those of you who are interested.

Thanks,

Jackson

When all the brotherly love and literary review is over:

Can somebody post a link or scan of a Rio onibus map?

When I'm out of my gringo rubbers, I find Jontex green label 'extra comfort plus' to be satisfactory. Is there a Brasilian equivalent to Trojan Ultra Thin?

Paraty would be a good place to pick up French girls who are on holiday, for those expats who are longing for some Euro poon.
