So "appropriately" speaking, might this be a good time take the COVID conversation and hash this out, over in the "Stupid Shit in Brazil" (SSIB) forum? Just asking!

Coincidentally, there is one other delightful COVID debater, just itching to "scratch his cojones", as it were, on this very subject. http://www.internationalsexguide.nl/...=1#post2895268

Enjoy!

PS: BTW, I personally, won't be offended, should you wish to continue the convo, here! I'll enjoy reading your thoughts on the subject in either forum.

How? The virus pretty much affected the elderly and those with comorbidities. Pfizer also admitted that the vax was not tested for all the shit governments claimed it would do. One funny thing to me was that right before the US election when Trump announced there was a vaccine everyone called bullshit.

I have no idea what you're talking about. No sane people would call it bullshit. Covid almost did Trump in if you don't remember.

Then as soon as Biden got into office and announced there was a vaccine everyone was like thank heavens.

Again, no idea what you're talking about. It was "thank heavens" because the vaccines saved lives, not because of Biden.

Personally I never took it and although I have asthma and was in every imaginable crevice during the pandemic, I got sick zero times. Meanwhile people that were going around scared getting vaxed 4 times and staying away from people and taking all the precautions ended up with the shit.

Your experience: Covid is harmless for not "the elderly and those with comorbidities". My experience: it killed people (yes, I personally know people who have died from it or who got violently sick for months including in my own family).

However, our SINGULAR personal experiences mean exactly squat. You can walk all over Rocinha on your own and never have a problem. But you can't claim that this behavior is objectively safe. Your survival in Rosinha without an accident would be just one person's experience.

That's why scientific reasoning is based on massive amounts of data rather than on one or two personal experiences, thank god!

Hi,

I am travelling to Brazil. Do they still require Traveler Health Declaration (DSV)?

Thanks

So, I am on a cruise ship off the coast of Brazil. 90%+ of the passengers are wealthy Brazilians. I am bunking with a Thai bargirl.

Most of the Brazilian ladies weigh twice as much as my bunkmate. There are maybe 1% stunners, the rest are heavily unattractive.

Brazil has gone downhill in recent years, as far as women go.

I think most of us can agree here. Most politicians suck. It is the nature of the beast.

I think many of them are lawyers, and lawyers are similar to call girls in some aspects.

There are guys in my college group have nothing to talk about except politics. It drives the mild or the less outspoken classmates away from the group. Occasionally, I would go to the bathroom and sent a picture of my shits to the group. Or I would sent porn or pictures I have taken in that nature. Most are well established at the top of their profession. They could not do what I do so publicly. All my friends and classmates know I monger. I have seen and heard a lot. Last year, I met a group of tourists. One of them is a veteran and he had a strong political opinion while we were eating and he dominated the conversation. I am usually quiet. He then started to talk about a subject that I am certain I know far better than he did. I spoke, and he knew it and he said let's talk about it another time.

Lula, like most lefties, is pro-Russian and pro-Palestinian, so he'd never get my vote, but neither would Bozo. It's a curse being centrist nowadays.

[Combo]

Me too, but since none of us is a local, here goes.

2. Both he and Lula have been involved in corruption schemes.

I have a feeling every president in the history of Brasil has been involved in corruption schemes.

[Spidy]

Do you consider being a "thief" a job? You took it too literally. She told me more than enough that I understand where she is coming from. I just listened and amused to see a completely different side of her.

So it a JOKE then!

Yes, well I guess similar JOKES have been made about Trump, and ex-Pres Bozo. Naturally, everyone has their own variation or twist on said JOKE.

"You are more interesting when you talk about music and samba"

Thanks, much appreciated! But I can't take any real credit for music and samba, as there are way more Brazilian BMs here, that are more versed and knowledgeable on the subject than I.

No doubt, though I'm sure others will find your posts "interesting" too. since what some people find "interesting", can be most "subjective". But then again, that's the beauty of ISG, someone will typically find the "value" in almost anything, you have posted.

Bolsonaro is a far-right demagogue and misogynist, basically Trump's mini-me who encouraged his people to disregard the dangers of Covid and refuse vaccination. Blood on his hands! Tons of it!

Did she tell it to you as a joke or as a statement of fact? 'Cause it sounded like a statement of fact, to me. But you know what they say about "opinions"?

Of course she's entitled to her opinions, but anyone with some integrity would question those opinions, if they're based in lies, untruths, innuendo or just factually incorrect.

Dude, you were there, NOT ME! I think that's more a question you should have asked her. Especially, if YOU believe it to be a lie, untrue or incorrect!

So by NOT asking her said question, it all but implies, you absolutely believe what she said.

But I'm interested in hearing what those thoughts of hers were w/r to her opinions that "Lula never hold a job is his life"

I don't have to believe, agree with or disagree with her. She told me a lot more for me to understand her thinking. Obviously she is not the only one with that opinion. There is nothing really absolutely good or bad. Most opinions formed here are mostly based on some type of bias anyway. LOL

As a general rule I try to avoid discussing politics with the locals in any country I visit.

Me too, but since none of us is a local, here goes.

1. Bolsonaro is a far-right demagogue and misogynist, basically Trump's mini-me who encouraged his people to disregard the dangers of Covid and refuse vaccination. Blood on his hands! Tons of it!

2. Both he and Lula have been involved in corruption schemes. It cracks me up when people single Lula out as a corruption champion, as if Bozo is a knight in shining armors. Shish!

That said, Lula, like most lefties, is pro-Russian and pro-Palestinian, so he'd never get my vote, but neither would Bozo. It's a curse being centrist nowadays.

[Axel Heyst]

As a general rule I try to avoid discussing politics with the locals in any country I visit. I also try my best, KKK, to avoid hearing the tragic stories of how or why a girl enters the profession. But sometimes these discussions cannot be avoided, especially when I am with favorite repeat girls that I really like.

So here are 2 anecdotal stories on the subject at hand:

The 1st one is about my favorite garota brasileira, V. I know, I know, I post a lot about her, maybe too much, but I spend around 40% of my nights in SP with her, so she is bound to come up in my posts every so often. Anyway, it was during the recent Brazilian presidential elections when V volunteered that she is a big Jair Bolsonaro supporter. Why I asked? Because she dislikes the socialists and thinks they are all crooks who make false promises to the people. Her words, not mine.

Now here is her sad background story: she is 100% Portuguese, and she grew up in a "loving", nurturing middle class family in a nice house in Curitiba. Her mother died, and her father married a much younger woman with a daughter. Then her father died, and her stepmother and stepsister "disowned" her and kicked her out of the family home. She went to work as a clerk in a shopping mall. Then some guy started coming around and flirting with her. He turned out to be a "pimp" and he told her she could make a lot of money doing you know what. So eventually she accepted his offer, and he fixed her up with a wealthy Brazilian who put her up for a year in her own apartment. After the year ended so did the relationship and she moved to Sao Paulo, and she began working in Scandallo where I met her a couple of months after Scandallo re-opened after covid peaked in Nov 2021.

The 2nd story is about my favorite Bomboa girl who is a very pretty girl with a voluptuous hourglass figure. If you ask her, she will say she is white, but I would not be surprised if there were a little something more in her gene pool. KKK. Not that I care. All I see is a beautiful girl who is incredibly sweet and amazingly warm & passionate in bed.

Anyway, it was again during the recent Brazilian elections when are. Told me her sad story: She was happily married to a "good" man living in RJ and had a baby. Her husband was a manager of some kind of convenience store like a Minuto, I guess. One night 2 hoodlums or gang members entered the store, attempted to rob it, and killed her husband. It doesn't get much worse than that IMHO and I believe her story is 100% true.

So, she moved in with her mother and began working at Bomboa in SP to support her family. She takes the bus or buys a cheap monthly air pass to come up to SP every Monday morning and travels back down to RJ every Friday night after midnight. She has an arrangement with Bomboa, and they put her up in a room.

So, one night we were having dinner upstairs in Bomboa's restaurant and some election news came on the TV, and she volunteered that she likes Jair Bolsonaro. I asked why? Although it is pretty easy to understand why from her history and point of view. She said Luiz Inácio Lula the Silva is criminal who lets all the criminals out of prison and that in her opinion, Jair Bolsonaro is a good man who is tough on crime and criminals and he cares about the people of Brazil. I am paraphrasing here, but essentially these are her words not mine.

And there you have it. To be sure, these are 2 anecdotal stories, but they are real. I find it an interesting coincidence that my 2 favorite Brazilian girls happen to be Bolsonaro supporters. Both girls were disappointed when he lost the election, especially are. And I can understand and empathize with her disappointment.

And you believed her?

I don't have to believe, agree with or disagree with her. She told me a lot more for me to understand her thinking. Obviously she is not the only one with that opinion. There is nothing really absolutely good or bad. Most opinions formed here are mostly based on some type of bias anyway. LOL


My question to you is do you know what made her say what she said?

[Spidy]

Yeah, a Brazileira told me one day over lunch out of blue that "Lula never hold a job is his life" and something like he takes a cut from people's salary.

And you believed her?
