    1. It didn't do much for Greece and the hangover was more than they could bear.

    This is the beginning of a decade long retrenching.

    Until they get rid of the free $ for poor people they'll never be able to restart.

    When will poor people learn you can't get something for nothing?

    The countries that host these mega-events usually get screwed (financially) by the organizers. While FIFA took most of the profits in the 2014 World Cup, Brazil is still paying the bill for a load of useless stadiums......thanks to asshole Lula who was just trying to promote himself.
    And, as if the WC weren't sufficient , we've still got the Olympics in 2016 to drain the public coffers, but the IOC will walk away with bags of money.

    IOC and FIFA gouging and excess is outrageous!

    Nevertheless, the circus attracts even to those whose egos can't resist taking on something too big for them.

    He is correct sussie. If you actually spoke English you would know that it is: your mother's brothel and not your brothel's mother, assuming a possessive clause there. It actually makes little sense because you are implying that a brothel shits. Save for you we know that answer. Also, months are neither smart nor stupid, however, you on the other hand are quite so. Do you not think that damaged and retarded is a bit redundant? Perhaps an evening TOEFL class will improve your weaknesses. And NYC? Really Sussie? I'm at Juniors.......stop by!

    It is very likely that his trolley has completely jumped its tracks, but if he is following the tactics of some Trolls, he may be one of the legions of angry mentally deficients that RT and other propaganda sites hire, to basically 'run interference' on forums. As a Patriots fan, you know that football term.

    I think he is dumping so much verbiage on us to tire us and block discussion, in an even less sophisticated way than “Verbiage Vestige” or “Marcos I'm an Idiot Ali Hand Dross”.

    Yes, a screen play.
    And low and behold, we have a 3fer post. The one thing sad about this this ranting like a lunatic is that it thinks that there is an outright hatred of the people of South America and feel to understand to difference between the corrupt systems there and the people suffering under those corrupt system.

    I think “it” believe that words hurt and make impact. There are some intelligent people who can use words as a weapon, SI is not one of them.

    @56 Captain,

    Suddenly Sussie's English has improved for a bit - and she is very verbose - spewing forth like mad now.

    My favourite Sussie @57
    “...I've never felt anything move me in a way that I couldn't explain it... ”

    I would suppose that's becuz her only 'movements' are from her bowels.

    So, Capt., how 'bout that Brazilian economy contraction, huh?

    Say Hi to your wife for me. We're going out for a Christmas dinner tonight. Its a bit wet out, but the Christmas lights are nice.

    I hope the weather is better for you guys this year. For me, I think I'll be able to get away with just renting snow tires for a week or two, this winter LOL...

    Ttyl

    Yeah.....semper is a real ticket alright. We're all socialists suddenly.

    Brazil is shitting with non-stop action now and the funny thing is that it is probably worse because the Olympics is probably offsetting the fall somewhat. It's over, this really is the Latam Spring......literally and figuratively. Good for the people I say.

    The weather is so mild it's unreal. El Nino! 50s all week during the day. Last year this time we had tons of snow on the ground. Enjoy your dinner. I am wrapping up my Spanish 101 and happy it's coming to an end.

    Now I am going to make a stretch here sussie de anus, how can you possible conclude tyhat I, Troy or others are socialists? Whatever game you're jugando nostils, stupidity is printed all over it.

    il·lit·er·ate
    i(l)ˈlidərət/
    adjective
    1.
    unable to read or write.
    “his parents were illiterate”
    synonyms: unable to read or write, unlettered
    “an illiterate peasant”

    Kind of blows a hole in your statement: You're an illiterate socialist jackass, no question about it !......

    Considering I am writing to you. As we'd say in the Army....What is your, malfunction? Is your shit flaky today or everyday?

    Oh....and your English is inferior, but par for your course.

    She is gone. I think she will be quiet for a while because she left the country in total ruin. Vidal already informed the media the Buenos Aires province is totally broke and there is ZERO money to pay anyone. Those whom were involved in corrupt activities should get diapers because the hammer is going to be pounding sooner and not later. People will go to jail.

    It was an act of shocking hubris on her part!

    For the Greeks to remark upon it, it seems that looney politicians have been doing this for thousands of years.

    “Hubris often indicates a loss of contact with reality and an overestimation of one's own competence, accomplishments or capabilities, especially when the person exhibiting it is in a position of power”

    Fits her to tee.

    There will be blood in the streets, tire-burning, at any rate. It all depends on what the people believe - best that Macri exposes the true state of affairs and the legacy that CFK has left them, asap.
