    Brazil has been experiencing a general rise in prices that are the results of the bad managment the country experienced over the PT government, which was elected by the people with a big smile on their faces. That is the sad reality, the country is stupid. Those terrorrists are mostly left-wingers that actually started the protests because of the 20 centavos increase after after destroying public and private property they simply began to say “it is not because of the incrase, it is the sitution of the country”. Bullsh*t, the Passe Livre movement is financed by the state-woned companies and encouraged by the same people who support this administration or are at least complacent with it over all those years, being politicians, social movement leaders or voters. Cowards, lunatics, terrorrists. That's what they are.

    Your CommentI really enjoy living in Brasil.

    Good people, but a very corrupt place, even at local government level.

    Not as bad as Nigeria though.

    Bloody Brasilian bus-drivers too, - Reckless bunch of Cu*ts, no real idea of how to conduct themselves as a driver of a passenger carrying vehicle.

    I could do a much better job. (My Brasilian driving licance is groups A to E, - Thats the highest possible group)
