Rousseff's bid for international support backfiring
Brazilian president Dilma Rousseff from New York accused her political opponents as “coup mongers” and “conspirators” and insisted she would fight to the very end the impeachment process to remove her from office. But her attacks faced a solid defense in Brazil including from members of the Supreme Court who expressed concern the president was questioning Brazil's institutions before the world.

As all they reveal is much about you. “.. research finds that children with low intelligence are more likely to hold prejudiced attitudes as adults. These findings point to a vicious cycle, according to lead researcher Gordon Hodson, a psychologist at Brock University in Ontario. …As suspected, low intelligence in childhood corresponded with racism in adulthood.”

G_D Canadians are Stupid.
If prejudice is truly linked to low cognitive abilities, liberals have proven that they are the ones suffering from the mental deficiencies described in these studies. Their own practices of cultural segregation, race baiting, and constant pandering to divisive groups has exposed their very own brand of prejudice. Furthermore, it's because of their own prejudice that they've failed to understand the true principles of conservatism.
Believing that conservatism is rooted in prejudice is the result of misinformation. Progressives and liberals have an equal amount of bigotry within their own ranks. Denying this fact is an act of willful ignorance.

My cousin who was a dual citizen, her father being American, was murdered in the states. “50 years later, an Olympian's mutilation in Reno still shocks | Gruesome murder shook city 50 years ago” http://www.reno.com/story/news/crime/2013/04/05/50-years-later-an-olympians-mutilation-in-reno-still-/28936877/
The electric light bulb, television, telephone, Velcro, zips, insulin, penicillin, Smarties and Superman were all invented in Canada.
On a train car there were a Canadian, an American, a spectacular looking blonde and a frightfully awful looking fat lady. After several minutes of the trip the train happens to pass through a dark tunnel, and the unmistakable sound of a slap is heard. When they leave the tunnel, the American had a big red slap mark on his cheek.
The blonde thought “That American s.o.b wanted to touch me and by mistake, he must have put his hand on the fat lady, who in turn must have slapped his face.”
The fat lady thought “That dirty old American laid his hands on the blonde and she smacked him.”
The American thought “That damn Canadian put his hand on that blonde and by mistake she slapped me.”
The Canadian thought “I hope there's another tunnel soon so I can smack that stupid American again.”

Meanwhile in the real world, no one is allowed to benefit from their own fraud. I have proved prima facia that you are a racist, therefor I have met my burden of proof. If you are claiming “logins are hijacked ” then burden is yours prove it.
Deep thinking, Philosophy; Burden of proof
Burden of proof (or onus probandi in Latin) is the obligation on somebody presenting a new idea (a claim) to provide evidence to support its truth (a warrant). Once evidence has been presented, it is up to any opposing “side” to prove the evidence presented is not adequate. Burdens of proof are key to having logically valid statements: if claims were accepted without warrants, then every claim could simultaneously be claimed to be true.
Abuse
Burden of proof is often abused in rhetoric and arguments.
Shifting the burden
Fallacious shifting of the burden of proof occurs if someone makes a claim that needs justification, then demands that the opponent justify the opposite of the claim. The opponent has no such burden until evidence is presented for the claim.

If you fail to do this then your opponent wins by default.
Logical Fallacies
Ignoring the Burden of Proof:
Generally speaking, he who asserts must prove. An assertion is a statement offered as a conclusion without supporting evidence. Since an argument is defined as a logical relationship between premise and conclusion, a simple assertion is not an argument. Writers sometimes forget this, and their articles can be littered with assertion after assertion. In the end, the duty to support an assertion is on the writer, not the reader (like the burden of proof is on the accuser in court, rather than the accused).
http://learn.lexiconic.net/fallacies/index.htm
Burden of proof (or onus probandi in Latin) is the obligation on somebody presenting a new idea (a claim) to provide evidence to support its truth (a warrant).

Please give the evidence to support your opinion that I am a racist. You won't be able too, as I'm not.

How abt yr intransigent defense of Dilma & Lula; yr refusal to accept :1) the great probability they’re guilty of the crimes they’re being accused of ; 2) the reason why most of the PT leadership is in prison ; 3) what the majority of Brazilians now firmly believe - based on what they’ve seen since Oct ’14 ; 4) the shitty mess the radical left has made…It is more than ample evidence of yr political stance... even more ridiculous given yr very limited knowledge on Brazilian politics, as admitted 18 July ’15, “I'm in no way familiar with the idiosyncrasies of Brazil's definition of 'influence peddling.'…while anything is possible I would be extremely surprised if Lula was in fact culpable”…...
Really ? Need I go on ?
Also would like to refer to yr 03 Sept ’15 post to Tik Tok : “The PT is a minority party that has had to rely on a shaky conditional coalition” - then take a look at your Sept 24th post in which, when challenged, you had the nerve to say “You cannot produce any statement where I have stated “that the PT is a minority political party..”” ; You see, just another lie.
Ryr 131 of today “There is no single majority party in Brazil, their all minority parties”..” (oops! shouldn’t ‘their’ be 'they're'?)
But forget the mistake, and let’s get back to yr statement that the PT is a ‘minority’ party…big gaffe; it’s the largest Brazilian party...but classifying them as minority or a majority party , as you do, makes no sense......given our political structure with over 30 parties, it’s unlikely any ONE party, alone, would ever have a majority ? so, enough of yr minority/majority ‘party’ bs, which means nothing – what does, is the PT forming a coalition with the PMDB and the PP to form a ‘majority’ in Congress....very different. AGW, the PT will desintegrate and disappear. Much to your chagrin.

If you weren't completely transfixed by your own bias you would know that malfeasance by older persons with no prior history is comparatively rare. My interest in the current crisis is based on the principle that no one should be condemned unheard, a proposition you would deny. So if you were acting fairly you would you would have shown where I equally disavowed socialism and reactionaries alike. But, in your twisted little world , concepts like ”fair play' have no place. I say yet again, all the parties in Brazil are minority parties. A majority party is 50% + 1, politics 101. The rest of your claims I don't recall, and since you provide no proper citation, I have no way of ascertaining.
My purpose is simply to challenge red-necked propagandism. You have made outrageous claims, which when checked against reliable opinions don't hold water. If you want to rant on a public forum be prepared to be challenged. You don't like it, tough, you've no entitlement to dictate to anyone. State your opinion, validate or don't. If only the former and it isn't apparently true, then your failure to meet your burden, may be queried.

May 02nd, 2016 - 09:43 pm - Link - Report abuse 0In order to waste as little time as possible on you, who have admitted you know fuck all about Brazilian politics, I'd just like to comment on one of your stupid assertions...“...you would know that malfeasance by older persons with no prior history is comparatively rare”.”
Just fyi, I've been following Dilma's career (and of others who were, until recently, part of the PT leadership) since she was an urban guerilla fighter, who confessed to have participated in terrorist activities, such as kidnapping for ransom, including the kidnapping of an American ambassador, the assassination of an American Army Captain, bank hold-ups, assaults to private residences to steal money....you name it...her criminal record is on file - look it up.
As for the LullaRat, I've been accompanying his antics since 1971, when he worked at Mercedes Benz for a few years until he put one of his 'pinkies' in a lathe so that he could retire (as an invalid) and dedicate himself, full time, to the largest union in the auto industry. His history of dirty dealings and corruption were already in the news 40 years ago......he has always hated the upper class - those that provide the jobs - so he went into politics, where the easy money went to his head...He has long forgotten the working class, of which he's not been part of for a long time, and now only “uses” them to try to remain in power .....and today, despite his notorious lack of even a halfway decent education , he is part of the elite - at least in terms of wealth. So much for the working man's man. He has corrupted himself and displays the ego of a madman. Perhaps you should do some serious research, not just read the opinions of the left-wing press. You didn't live here in the 70's, you don't live here now, yet you profess to know more than those who did, and do.
And re the ”minority' bs, give it up, you can't unring the bell.

May 02nd, 2016 - 10:46 pm - Link - Report abuse 0So you spell out a litany accusations with not one iota evidence. So failing to comply with all the requirements of rules of logic. Which have carefully been established to ensure fairness and truth. So whether your correct or not is irrelevant, as it is not for me to confirm what you're asserting. So either you're too lazy or your claims are false. But mere professing doesn't confirm anything, in fact it thoroughly detracts, as your claims fail to meet even the most rudimentary requirements. All I have to say is 'bullshit' and that totally kiboshes your presentation, as there is no burden on me to prove or disprove anything. For example Lula, except for your opinion, he was never even ben charged with anything. So under internationally recognized standards he is blameless. So what you call 'opinion' is neither here nor there, its just a puff of nothingness. So spew out your empty vindictive propaganda, because at end of the day thats all it will ever remain. Moreover you have no idea where I live, but don't let that lack of knowledge prevent you from professing an opinion, as it hasn't in the past.
