Brazil's suspended president Dilma Rousseff and her predecessor and left-wing ally Lula da Silva will boycott the opening ceremony at the Rio Olympics, officials have said. Their absence at the 5 August ceremony highlights the political crisis in Brazil, with Rousseff facing possible removal from office in an impeachment trial shortly after the Games end.

    “Brazil's suspended president Dilma Rousseff and her predecessor and left-wing ally Lula da Silva will boycott the opening ceremony at the Rio Olympics....”,

    They will “boycott” the opening ceremony ???......“Boycott” is hardly the right term to use....Long before “they” decided to “boycott” the ceremony, it was made clear to them, by their closest aides, that they would not be welcome and that the public did not want to see their ugly faces....it's a good thing that they got the message, and it's a bit late to claim that it was their initiative to not make an appearance.....

    # 1: Absolutely correct which is why France is in the crapper with handling teenage Islamist killers, but just wait and see what happens soon.
    # 14 Have no idea what you 'claim'.
    # 20 I think the new President of the Philippines must have the same thought! Under his dictate the Police have killed over 300 known drug dealers who were still selling drugs on the street since July 1st (the day the new President took over). This has resulted in 6,000 drug dealers handing themselves into the Police so they can be jailed instead of being killed. Looks like a win so far.
    # 8 That was a JOKE. But I will make an exception in your case if you wish.

    Thanks for further more insights from your modest biography killer “When I Rule the World.” I'll restate my former claim of E&OE. Actually, the error is more apt considering your view of yourself in the scheme of things. “A shoe or clog with a raised sole or set on an iron ring, worn to raise one's feet above wet or muddy ground when walking outdoors.” Perhaps not, as your exalted persona doesn't even touch the ground when you walk.

I used to visit Rio 2 or 3 times a month for meetings etc, but never really liked it - always having to look over your shoulder ; Several recent infrastructure projects have taken place in the downtown and port areas, which have improved them greatly, but basically, the beauty of Rio is restricted to the beaches of Copacabana, Ipanema and Leblon - the rest of it is not worth the bother. That's why I'll watch the games from the comfort of my home

    The Kracken used to be 'normal' but over the last two years has showed symptoms of NPD (Narcissistic personality disorder) hence the screaming fits of piss-dribbling pervert, dementia getting worse, etc. whilst portraying herself as somehow 'standing up to me' and other nonsense. Weird.

    This from a female (certainly NOT a woman) who knows what is in her 'mind' despite not ever having either the experience or the sense to discover the truth of the matter in discussion.

    I used to think it was the onset of the menopause but her claim she is too young (starts in early 40's nowadays) leaves no other non-terminal disease option other than NPD.

    You are now the second GUY (she seemingly detests all men) she has claimed as a clone of me, so welcome to the club.

    She can only focus on the bad aspects of firearms and has no understanding of the number of lives saved by their use or the millions of users world-wide who have please using them in complete and utter safety.

    Still, 'she knows what she knows'! So there!

    @36 You have no remorse for telling me to commit suicide. That is a damning statement about you. You know nothing about me, or anyone else on here unless you have met them in real life.

    You need to get a hobby or some meaning to your life to stop you obsessing about me all the time. Whatever anger and bitterness you are carrying should not be aimed at me because you don't know me.

    Unlike you I don't put details of my loved ones online (out of respect to them) nor do I give away information regarding my work because it would be inappropriate to do so given the sensitive nature. I don't need to prove anything to an online community. So the fictitious hate figure you have concocted around me is made up of your own deep-rooted prejudices and issues with women. It has nothing to do with me it reflects your twisted mind.

    You really need to find someone younger to explain the culture of the internet to you. You have it way out of proportion and seem to feel you need to be validated by a message board. Seriously, get some perspective. Nothing here is real. Get some help with your issues. You can't 'win' online. You cannot gain the respect you crave. No one cares. It is just a message board. Anyone can be anything here and it is dangerous to reveal so much about yourself.

    People will judge you on your words and you post vulgar and nasty comments. That makes you appear vulgar and nasty.

    SInce you are still calling me silly names I will include the fact that you told me to commit suicide in every single one of my posts until you stop it. You can be embarrassed in front of all the readers in every thread or stop acting like a child.

    I'm pretty sure that Terry , your latest buddy , will get sweaty under the collar when he reads this, and will demand that I present the “burden of proof”....or, will undergo great stress in trying not to.....or still, will throw a ton of quotes at me - which are supposedly meant to “put me in my place” ; unfortunately, he still hasn't learned the difference between an opinion and proof, and I don't think he ever will....just my humble 'opinion'.

    If you want to see childish - read your post. You told me to commit suicide because you lost your temper again. With someone on the internet. On a message board.

    Why do you go on and on about how successful you think I am. Is this the real reason for your unfathomable animosity towards me? You mention it all the time. And why are you so obsessed with my profession? You will never know or guess. It is way beyond your comprehension.

    In all your years as a lorry driver the only experience you seem to have acquired is the vulgar language you picked up in the transport cafes and an acute case of misogyny.

    @47 It is a huge difference between saying 'drop dead' and telling someone 'why don't you do us all a favour and commit suicide'. Especially when the person saying that has displayed a real hatred towards me in the past. A hatred that goes beyond normal behaviour. A hatred that led him to try to track me down in real life. (Unsuccessfully) A hatred that leads him to constantly throw personal insults at me in threads where I am not even posting. A hatred that makes him make constant personal attacks to the extent that I had no option but to defend myself. When that didn't stop his obsession I went on the attack to expose him for what he is.

    ChrisR is bordering on the insane in his actions (see above). That he is not very intelligent and consumed by envy for the life he thinks I lead (he has not a clue). And attempts to insult in the most vulgar way possible (displaying his real character). And when losing an argument with me tells me to kill myself shows just how unhinged and nasty he is. He knows nothing about my life, personal life or profession but his obsession has led him to weave an entirely fictitious world for me in order to maintain his level of hatred.

    Clearly, you and 'Jack Bauer' pity him and think he is not strong enough to debate with me without assistance. I suggest you look at his posting history with me and see who actually started this shit.

    @49 Oh, he can't hurt me but all the time he is focused on me it stops him picking on someone weaker than him and probably diverting a few slaps for his wife.

    It is interesting that you whole-heatedly support ChrisR's behaviour without criticism. Have you seen his ranting on other current threads? The man is insane. Fortunately no longer dangerous as they took his guns away from him.

    No ElaineB, I haven't misunderstood anything. The only person I'm saying is childish, is you - based on your silly remark (as per #41) “...and you make a lovely couple 'by his definition' ”......your strange, if not sick logic, has led you to a non-sensical conclusion, typical of an immature kid.

    “What is your problem with THill?”
    It's not really a problem, it's just that he amuses me with his absurd demands for 'proof' of one's opinion, as if an opinion cannot exist without proof ; same thing with his blind defence of Lula and Dilma, his stupid, politically correct, liberal stance, due to his obviously left-wing sources, despite the fact he has no first hand experience of Brazil - maybe he should be Lula's lawyer ; his supercilious manner , trying to sound superior ; his refusal to answer a few , totally impersonal questions - which I suspect, that if he did, and honestly, it would blow a hole in his cover . At times , after reading some of his posts, I stop and wonder “ who ties his shoelaces for him ”?

    Well. that is a mature feminine way of looking at things, isn't it?

    I have never 'slapped' my wife except in play and she always liked them, but that was behind closed doors.

    “his cover” do you think he is working undercover? You say you don't have a problem with THill? I think from that post that you do. And add to that you took against me because I once agreed with something he said. That is a tad intolerant don't you think?

    There you go again jumping to conclusions. I don't always agree with ChrisR, but I don't think he's out to “get” anyone, something you obviously, have taken too seriously.....get over it.
    And if you don't like him because he calls a spade a spade, it's not surpising, given that you appear to be a liberal.
    You shouldn't feel 'reprimanded' by me, as quite frankly, I couldn't care less what you think.
    Regarding Terence, NO, of course he isn't working 'undercover'...he doesn't have the brains for it.
    I see that you bear a grudge against me because some time in the past - a few months ago ? - I said something to which you took offence ... Well, I've forgotten all about it and moved on ...maybe you should too. Further, I don't think that anything that is said here is worth losing sleep over....discussions can be heated, plain stupid , and even entertaining, but not everyone reacts in the same way. You ask me if I'm intolerant .....I don't think so , but I don't think I need to convince you, or anyone else, of that .
    As to ChrisR's calling you Gordo's boyfriend, it is obvious he's taking the piss out of you, and if you weren't susch a stiff you'd realize that.

    Now getting back to Terry....Have you noticed how he believes he is “always” right ? take a look at his #8 of the thread “Lula appeals to the UN”, where he boldly states ” “….But what is blazingly obvious is that there is no belief by his legal team, that justice has been done so far, in regard to him”, without the slightest basis other than his opinion, which he regards as proof. If he knew anything at all about the person that Lula is, he would know that despite the fact Lula knows he is up shit creek without a paddle, he will never admit it, as it would be tantamount to self-destructing. He and his lawyers will keep on fighting to the end, denying everything, even after he's behind bars. What else do you expect him and his lawyers to do ?

    You really got your knickers in a twist this time, didn't you, you old fart ? No use trying to get the toothpaste back into the tube..

    Your latest pearl of wisdom, “Sure it's an opinion founded solely on their acts”, is just the conclusion YOU arrived at, based on YOUR interpretation of their acts.....or their allegation that ”they don't believe that justice has been done so far, in regard to him” (the toad).
    Others may have different opinions on why they said that ...perhaps because it's a lawyers duty to stand up for his client ? perhaps because when a lawyer sees that his client is about to get screwed, it's normal to change tack , denying all charges, and claiming his client is being treated unfairly ?
    That line of defence has been used repeatedly by most of the Lava-Jato defendants, and it's just a ploy to try to delay things. The fact that most are already serving prison terms, just shows what a great defence it has turned out to be.
    The fact remains that you know f*ck-all about their plans on how to defend the toad, however, that didn't prevent arrogant little Terry from telling us that if the lawyers said it, it must be “blazingly obvious”.....really ?

    “When a lawyer sees that his client is about to get screwed, its normal to change tack.” Thank you for in part laying out the classic alternative to defending a client. Which is when a defence isn't possible, the next option is to 'cop-a-plea'. Not file a 39-page petition with the U.N. Human Rights Committee.
    “It's just a ploy to try to delay things” in your opinion. Whereas the petition is a fact which speaks volumes louder than any of your unsupported guesses.
    “So how can you tell fact from opinion, especially when so many people are offering their opinions as fact?
    The simple answer is that facts are quantifiable. They can be measured. Opinions are not. You cannot measure taste, for instance. Therefore, taste is an opinion. You can measure nutritional value. Therefore, that is a fact.”

    I didn't defend it, I condemned it as abominable.

    “I would have thought that as a 'feminist' she would have at least kept her mouth shut and not jumped in to support your crap about the RCC 'not being the only religion doing this, as if that makes it right and show me where these religions are apart from Islam.”

    What has feminism got to do with this discussion? I made a very easy-for-you-to-understand statement about the wide-spread child abuse in many different institutions. I explained why paedophiles seek to join institutions where they have access to children. I was condemning the practice and explaining it is more wide spread that your narrow-mind can comprehend. Because to assume it only happens within one institution is to ignore that is is happening elsewhere.

    ChrisR, I am genuinely concerned for you. Go and read the thread again and you will see you are entirely wrong in your recollection of what I said in my posts.

    Nothing was “blazingly obvious”, other than your profound arrogance and love for Lula and the PT.

    The fact that the petition has 39 pages, means absolutely nothing.....if it did, then they should have submitted a 1000 page petition. I have made no guesses, unsupported or not......it is you that sucked up the lawyers' claims that Lula was being shafted, and immediately rushed to his defence.

    “The fact that the petition has 39 pages, means absolutely nothing” In your unsupported ex-shipping clerks opinion, that really means nothing.
    “It is you that sucked up the lawyers' claims that Lula was being shafted” Since that was also my opinion, it was no surprise at all. Particularly, given the decisions of Judge Moro
    which appear more political than judical. Which is why the supreme court found he was not following the rule of law, hence their subsequent reversal. Moreover, it goes to bias when he was leaking privileged information to the media.

    ““The fact that the petition has 39 pages, means absolutely nothing” In your unsupported ex-shipping clerks opinion, that really means nothing.”

    So you still think that the size of a petition is what gives it credibility ??
    Anyway, the petition submitted by Lula (to the UN), says nothing different to what we are already tired of hearing…it will get him nowhere.

    ““It is you that sucked up the lawyers' claims that Lula was being shafted” Since that was also my opinion, it was no surprise at all. Particularly, given the decisions of Judge Moro ”

    Of course that was your 'opinion'.....based on what Lula's lawyers claimed...what did you expect them to claim ? but you fell for their bs.

    As to Judge Moro, he has followed the Law, no more, no less. The problem with the once powerful businessmen (including PB directors) and politicians that are being tried and jailed, is that they are not used to swift, efficient Justice, and never in their wildest dreams expected to be caught. Especially after acting like this for decades, with total impunity. Of course now they're going to be all pissed-off.
    The Supreme court has reversed only one or two of Moro’s dozens of decisions, which implies they agree with him 99% of the time. As to the phone taps, he only leaked them to the press because he had sound information that Dilma was planning to appoint Lula as Cabinet Minister, and then to work together to try to extinguish the Lava-Jato investigation. Regardless, the STF sent the case back to Moro, allowing him to use the taps should they be relevant to the case. Remember : Lula was the one being tapped, not Dilma, so any info collected was not privileged.

    Not at all as little kid I punched the lights out a gang leader called Pie-face who was three-years older. I was carried around the school on the kids shoulders. To be honest, I was a new kid and didn't know him from Adam. All I knew was he was picking a fight with me, I don't recall any fear, only a sense of aggrievement.
    Every time I moved school, the first day somebody picked a fight. When I won they didn't bother me after that. I never picked fight unless I saw someone bullying a smaller kid.
    “Of course that was your 'opinion'.....based on what Lula's lawyers claimed.” Other than what I have read on this thread, I have no idea what his lawyers have claimed.
    “As to Judge Moro, he has followed the Law, no more, no less. ” If that was true why did the supreme court censor him for authorizing Lula's detainment?
    “And then to work together to try to extinguish the Lava-Jato investigation.” If this was true you would have included a link.
    “So any info collected was not privileged.” It was because the good judge has now damaged his claim to impartiality. As he has laid himself open to claim that his partiality is damaged by his trying the case in the press. This is a paramount issue, as I don't know of any common-law jurisdiction that would allow a judge to continue under such circumstances.

    Well Terry, you must be so proud...seems that little “success” story went to your head...and remains there until today.

    ““Of course that was your 'opinion'.....based on what Lula's lawyers claimed.” Other than what I have read on this thread, I have no idea what his lawyers have claimed.”

    So, by admitting now, that “you have no idea what Lula's lawyers have claimed, other than what you've read on this thread”, it is clear that when you rushed to support their claims, to the point of stating it was “'blazingly obvious” he was being shafted, you were just spouting hot air...

    Regarding Moro, Lula had already been summoned by him once before, and had made no bones about it, fully expecting it to the first and last time ; but a few weeks later, he learnt that he would be summoned a second time, and during a meeting held behind closed doors, to discuss the summons with his advisors, one of his staunch allies, Jandira Feghali (a declared communist) posted a short video defending him ; you can see Lula in the background, and can clearly hear him say ”eles que enfiem esse 'prothetho' (processo) no cú, eu não vou”...that's what prompted Moro to send the Federal Police to fetch him.
    After the outcry, one of the PT appointed judges in the STF, decided to censor Moro, but it had no practical effect. Amongst other things, the proof that Dilma , and Lula, intended to carry on obstructing the Lava-Jato investigation from behind the scenes, became public and obvious when the PT's top Senator and Lula ally (Delcidio), confessed that it was Lula who had instructed him to try to silence Cerveró (PB director who was negotiating a plea bargain); Maybe you should watch more of the political news programmes and read the OESP...... Clearly you need to catch up , that's all stale news by now.
