    2) “BRIC”/“BRICS” is an abstract term invented by Goldman Sachs, there isn’t any real common interest and ground between the countries that our gathered in it. The term only serves to hide the only real country climbing power of those 4 or 5 that is rising as a global hegemony. And we all know who it is. The other countries are just decorative.

    “Yet the spies will gain an extra couple of pages /? lol”
    with worthless information. But that's not the problem. The problem is that the NSA, at least in the US, is violating the constitution..but oh wait, O'bongo already burned it.

    Bothinho..it's only if you used their “free chargers and USB memory stick.” Free comes with a high cost.

    Google, facebook etc etc has no choice to do what Brazilian government requiers them to do, because they are full aware that the Brazilian market is to big to ignore. It just cost them more money and they hate that....duhhhh.

    My Dear Fido, I realize that.

    Attending about 2-3 work conferences per annum, I and others receive such items at each. Bags full, actually, and all free from the trusted host or sponsor.

    Meeting the host concierge usually jet-lagged, one is provided such items. You think “ How thoughtful ” and later use it. According to online reports, no one caught this until well AFTER the G-20 had ended.

    I do admire the ingenuity used in this application. Very clever. And as you say, free, but at a cost.

    I can't help but feel that this is all a big way to fill up newspaper space.

    Let's face reality, everyone wants to spy on everyone else, everyone couches it in more diplomatic language (like “keeping an eye on things” or “research”) when they're spying on their friends.

    The only people who don't spy on anyone are those who don't have the resources to do it.

    Not sure about the haircut, Ayayay. But feel free to give it a go. As for the women, well that shouldn't be a problem although I think I understand your issue.
    Try alternating between left and right in your polishing...

    Obriigado Anglotino;

    The link is coming up blocked by a membership caption.

    Try a cut and paste of the article into you next post, which would be helpful to the other Mercosul members here.
