By Michel Temer, Acting President of the Republic - The Olympic Games were an absolute success. This is the result of the work of each person who helped build the stadiums, the metro, the Olympic Village; each carioca who gave the right directions to our visitors. Read full article

    Do you all think that the stadiums are all going to be football stadiums as the Brazilians generally support only football as can be demonstrated by the lack of attendance in the main.

    And confirmed what it always believed, the Brazil Nuts need a wide berth unless you carry a pistol and know how to use it.

    “And the Paralympics, worthy of a mention at all, anyone?”

    I have always been impressed with the dedication, immense effort and the achievements made by all paralympians and given that the Brazil Nuts have found some money it seems their games will go forward too.

    Surely the Olympic committee have now realized how close the whole thing came to meltdown and have learnt to be far more circumspect, probing the veracity of claims made and checking bank statements before awarding another Olympics to a bunch of crooks.

    Oh bless! Utterly wrong, again.

    Racist? Never.

    Since when has self-defence leading to the death of the attacker been illegal homicide? Answer: only in Tiny Hillock's tiny mind.

    Grow up you moron and don't even bother with all the long-winded drivel you usually come up with.

    You're a classic want-a-be who never was, in other words a complete and utter wussy. As was demonstrated by the locals attitude to you back in Blighty, when you were robbed. Probably because you opened your stupid mouth back there, and they treated to a little pay back. “Racist? Never.” Oh yeah! well the following exposes correctly the lack of truth to that statement “…the Brazil Nuts need a wide berth unless you carry a pistol and know how to use it…”

    Just for the lame and deliberately obtuse. So once again, your homicidal racism is indisputable “…the Brazil Nuts need a wide berth unless you carry a pistol and know how to use it…” 3 ChrisR. Your words and intent are crystal clear. As is your later statement “Racist? Never.” completely unable to mitigate it.

    @ 21 Little Hump

    The Brazilian people, en masse, have shown time and time how stupid they are: they stand for corrupt politicians on the basis of 'as long as we get some as well'.

    So they are nuts, hence Brazil Nuts.

    I suppose if you ever go to Brazil, because you haven't been yet, you would willingly be robbed and shot. I support that action.

    “You would willingly be robbed and shot. I support that action.” You are the gift that keeps on giving. As you have just made another homicidal declaration against a poster who has called you out on an issue. Does your brain ever comprehend what your yappy mouth is doing. Or is that part of your modus operandi in attempting to avoid culpability for your words. You make Trump appear like a Rhodes scholar by comparison to you.

    Isn't is hilarious, albeit pathetic, to read Tinker Bell's rants ? Again he has come out wearing his self-presumed superiority on his lapel.....just look at his #11, where he states :
    “Which translates into, what I have stated is true, as you are well and truly caught-out.”......

    his #13 “While finally I have shown them for their complete and utter stupid shallowness.”

    Again, speaketh the sole owner of the absolute truth.

    As to the quote he uses - ““It is better to be silent and thought to be ignorant than to open one's mouth and remove all doubt.” R. G. Risch””, it is one of the dozens he resorts to when his little brain can't think up something original to say ; while it is definitely very humorous, it is usually ascribed to Abe Lincoln (and/or Mark Twain).....“Better to remain silent and appear a fool than to speak and remove all doubt”....although there are other, similar versions of the same idea and several different opinions as to its origin/originator, it nevertheless fits Tinker Bell down to a 't'...
    Chris, don't waste your time on the idiot.

    Tweedledum rushes to the aid of his better-half Tweedledee. You make great bed-fellows since you're both long on opinions and short on facts. No surprise that you would endorse someone whom professes a disposition of homicidal racism toward your fellow citizens. But then, thats completely compatible with your preference for dictatorships.

    “Disposition of homicidal racism” is verified by his statement “…the Brazil Nuts need a wide berth unless you carry a pistol and know how to use it.” at 3 ChrisR. So please explain how you have formed the opinion “You jump to irrational conclusions”. You can further amuse us by explaining how such disturbed comments could possibly be considered rational.

    Carrying a pistol and knowing how to use it , is by no means necessarily the same as having a “disposition towards homicidal racism”.....you arrived at that (irrational) conclusion all by yourself, because you're a liberal pussy...

    This is what Tweedledee stated “..confirmed what it always believed, the Brazil Nuts need a wide berth unless you carry a pistol and know how to use it.” So expressing a desire of inflicting homicide on Brazilian citizens goes against one of the most fundamental legal requirements of “Do no harm”. Difficult to see how such such racist violence is in accord. So according to you such sentiments must also be irrational. Give yourself a shake, I gave you two loonies the correct monikers, Tweedledum and Tweedledee as you're both cut from the same cloth.
    Seems like you fell out of the stupid tree and hit every branch on the way down.

    It's no use trying to justify your pussy, typically liberal interpretation of what ChrisR said. You are always so sensitive and so easily offended....rushing to defend the poor and the oppressed....but what do you do in practical terms to help them ? Absolutely nothing, except to spew all your haughtiness on the posters of this site, as if they needed to be punished for something....perhaps your guilty conscience being projected....
    If you think that I fell out of a tree - why is the poor tree 'stupid' ? - I think it would be fair to say that you chose the opposite path, and now sit on a high branch, while you scratch your hairy crotch and stick your finger up your “fiofó”...and be careful not to fall after giving it a good sniff....sniff, sniff, scratch, scratch.....

Absolutely nothing” It's duly noted you're expanding library fo ignorance. Some other subject you know absolutely nothing about, but, are prepared to proffer your incomprehension.

Your on notice that you're unable to maintain the lamentable defence of your homicidal racist buddy. Nor did you refute the contention that you opine on matters that you know nothing about.

    First of all, how come you can express an opinion without backing it up with (the burden of) 'proof' ? are you suggesting that your opinion does not need proof , but those of others, do ??

    Second, I don't care what you think of me, so there is nothing for me to 'not like' about your irrelevant opinion ; nothing to use as a reference, and far less, the need to improve.

    Third, why do you ALWAYS resort to other people's quotes ?
    Is your wee brain incapable of thinking for itself ? I would say, by the one or two times you've tried unsuccessfully to be original, perhaps it better to keep on copying other people. You are an empty, fabricated piece of crap, nothing more.
