“What a shot”, the folklore side of rampant violence in Rio do Janeiro favelas
A viral music video called “What a shot” is stirring debate in Brazil about the glamorization of crime and freedom of expression, as surging crime in Rio de Janeiro has led the government to put troops in charge of security in the tourist city. The hit by Jordana Gleise de Jesus Menezes - known as JoJo Todynho - has spawned myriad parody videos on YouTube since it was released in December. Read full article

“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.”
http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Burden_of_proof
“Logical Fallacies
Ignoring the Burden of Proof:
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.”
h ttp://learn.lexiconic.net/fallacies/index.htm
According to the definition you are also illogical. Moreover, since you can’t prove it must by necessity be false.
“Thoughts are either true or false in an absolute sense, never both or neither.” Stanford Encyclopaedia of Philosophy; States of Affairs; First published Tue Mar 27, 2012
Over you to you fallacious since you’re the one claiming I’m a liar without proof, unless you're claiming your assertion is not a thought.
Yes, exactly like when you claimed to have a wife, and then said it was my burden to prove you didn't. A textbook example of trying to shift the burden of poof, according to your own quotations. Which you have still not admitted, making you a LIAR.

He's such a vain idiot, that even if he does take it, he wont reveal the result, instead inventing one that reflects how 'he' sees himself....the owner of the truth, and an expert in Brazilian and Int'l law. Truth is, he's completely illogical and lives in a world of fantasy.
But we have seen he can't even lie 'perfectly'... when caught in a blatant lie, after stating categorically that I never disclosed the place I was born, he attempts (and fails) to wiggle out of it by claiming he made a 'mistake of fact , nice euphemism for “LIAR”.
Another LIE : “But it’s noted that other posters have come to the self same conclusions that I have concerning you on other threads.”....well, let's see who these other posters might be : Think the Chimp ? Reekie ? ...only 'two' ? While Stink has his own agenda, just trying to stir up the shit every now and again, he is inoffensive ; Reekie is well-intentioned, but has the incurable habit of sticking his nose in to matters he knows very little of (economy, Brazil..).
Another : “As my previous link so indicates and he in the face of such compelling evidence...”
In his sick mind, if 'he' has written' something - “as my previous link so indicates” - it is “compelling evidence”...'compelling' only to his small brain.
He tries in vain to associate me with Peron and states ” interesting is that so many of those with familia ties to Argentina, that 'accepted the propaganda of Peron' etc....
Is this another LIE, or just a 'mistake of fact' ? I'd like him show just ONE word which indicates that I ever defended that bastard......C'mon Terry numb nuts !!!
On the other hand, you can see a patterm forming, the more senile he becomes, also the bigger the LIAR. He obviously doesn't know that the SOB Peron was one of the reasons my familiy left Argentina.
It's pointless trying to engage in constructive dialogue with the LIAR...

I agree it's astoundingly dumb to think you would support Peron, or that you are some kind of Argentine nationalist. Hasn't he been paying any attention at all for the last however many years?

Well, if it weren't Peron, it might have been some other nationalistic lunatic...if he hadn’t been removed from the post of State Secretary of Labour and imprisoned by the military (1943), he might not have been seen as a ‘hero’ by the masses of workers (usually easy to influence with populist promises)…he was eventually released, and, I suppose that the population must’ve been fed up with the government at the time ; so unwillingly they (the govt) set the stage for a populist demagogue to come along and promise everything would be 'just fine' if they elected him.... history repeats itself, time and time again, and will keep on doing so until people become smarter (in the good sense). He promised he would nationalize the (British) Railways, to boost the feeling of nationalism, (and he did) despite the fact the concession would be up in a few years and the railways would have reverted back to Argentina at no cost....but Argentina was enjoying its int'l credits accumulated during the war, and no amount of sense would have changed things. As a result, the railways went down the drain, and today, the state they are in, is unbelievable.
If we had stayed on, think it would have been just a matter of time before I got the hell out, as did most of my cousins, as soon as they were old enough.

It might. Argentina is supposed to have been richer and more developed in the past, but only a small part of the population really benefited from that. So inevitably the majority would demand change, and elect whoever promised to improve things for them. Meanwhile the more conservative elements just seemed determined to hang on to what they had, rather than trying to develop the economy in any meaningful way, and the government that followed the most orthodox economic principles - as recommended by the IMF - caused the worst crash of all. It doesn't seem like there were any good options.
I have read that Argentina's decline was at least partly caused by factors outside their control, mostly the opening of the Panama canal, and the switch from Britain to America as foremost world power.
Did your cousins also move to Brazil?

In some old post, I think he did mention he had spent some time here, although in more recent posts he's refused to disclose where - so am inclined to believe it must have been in a slum on some Rio hillside - as he admits to putting his “soiled toilet paper” (how 'chique') in a 'receptacle beside his potty'...But if he can't prove it, well just have to assume he can't, and if he says he does, we'll have to presume it's just another 'mistake of fact'...
You're right, I haven't been ignoring him “properly”...it's just that I love pointing out his lies..erhh, “mistakes of fact”...
You're right about Portuguese....nouns are either masculine or feminine, and are preceded by the corresponding article, 'o' or 'a' , respectively. ”Eg., the aeroplane = 'o avião' ; the toaster = A torradeira ; It's easy for foreigners to mix them up.
Argentina v Brazil : two quite different countries, in size, population, economy, customs, so it's not easy to compare, but generally speaking I'd say Brazil is run a 'little less badly' than Argentina. Perhaps Brazil's far larger population has demanded better control from Government, although at times this may be exactly what favours corruption (as long as the majority don't realize what's going on or are loath to admit it happens) which seems to be common to both countries, irrespective of the slightly different origins/cultures..

There's no gentle way to put it: People who give in to racism and prejudice may simply be dumb, according to a new study that is bound to stir public controversy.The 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. Low-intelligence adults tend to gravitate toward socially conservative ideologies, the study found. Those ideologies, in turn, stress hierarchy and resistance to change, attitudes that can contribute to prejudice, Hodson wrote in an email to LiveScience.”

Preferably before them young criminals turn 10 years old...

Feb 27th, 2018 - 06:26 pm - Link - Report abuse 0“Your insinuation that I'm a racist is laughable - absolutely no proof other than your opinion” I haven’t insinuated any such thing. You obviously have a reading comprehension difficulty. It is a report that includes that possibility, but, it’s not specific to single individual. It is what the researchers have found as general characteristic. To wit: “The research finds that children with low intelligence are more likely to hold prejudiced attitudes as adults. … Low-intelligence adults tend to gravitate toward socially conservative ideologies, the study found.”
Or are you attempting to claim you are a font of moderation and an unbiased person. Hardly, as your postings attest quite clearly your attitude towards those that don’t share the same political view as you.

Feb 27th, 2018 - 09:14 pm - Link - Report abuse 0That's what I thought you'd say, although having Italian friends must have helped. I would have asked you about French too, but you learned it in school so it doesn't count.
@Terry the Hypocrite
You don’t know how to reason and instead rely solely on argument from authority and ad hominem attacks. You're like a petulant child pouting and complaining when other people destroy your feeble attempts at argument with the very rules you love to quote so much. So you are hindered in your unprincipled conduct? Good, so you rightly should be.
Since I started posting here, I’ve always been prepared to stand up for what 's fair and right, no matter how much abuse you give me for it.
So let's take a look at the real Terence Hill:
“see you’re following you usual patten of being deliberately obtuse or stupid. In the famous quote of Lord Byron to Mrs. Wordsworth “Fuck off””
“Better get a truss to support that herniated opinion you'r e dragging on the ground behind you.”
“Try to get your foot out of your mouth before you answer.”
“Well you obviously are one with half a clue...”
“Your done like dinner revealed in your true capacity, devoid of any moral standing. A pathetic lying little troll.”
“What a moron...”
“Are you stunted?”
“...enjoy your complicity, nice sucking.”
“You fell off the tit on that one, all in all, a pretty poor sucking attempt.”
Now I know what you're going to say: when Jack insults you that's just terrible, and a sign of his bad character. When you insult me you are totally justified, and it's not at all because you are an arrogant asshole. This is known as hypocrisy, and is why I call you a hypocrite.

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.
That you support an unrepentant fascist speaks volumes about your lack of character.

Feb 28th, 2018 - 08:06 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Thanks for the 'realist'...but why did you spoil it with your silly comment about 'richy rich” ? As to your darling street kids, seems pretty clear you don't get much news down in your hole, as you might think differently if you had heard about just a few of their crimes committed during Carnival in Rio...how about swarming tourists on the beach, ripping their jewelry off them and stealing their cellphones and wallets...and even shooting one ? OR, how about 4 of your 'nice' street kids (teenagers) beating up an 84 year old woman, to take her money ? If anyone needs to get REAL it's you.
I've already suggested that you adopt a couple of these kids...but can't remember seeing your reply...
@THill, aka Brain-less, Spine-less coward...
Regarding my comment that you insinuated I'm a racist”....how about taking a look at your (7th) post, above : says you : ”I haven’t insinuated any such thing.
Now go to your post, waaay above (the 11th) : “There's no gentle way to put it: People who give in to racism and prejudice may simply be dumb”......? Ah, so sorry, forgot you are senile.
Just another of your lamentable 'mistakes of fact 'I presume ??
@DT
Must admit, despite studying French and having to speak it at times while in west Africa, today it is pretty rusty...
But I see have taken on numb nuts...the only thing he knows how to do when people disagree with him (about 100% of the time) is to claim their opinions are 'unsupported' (of course, only 'he' knows , and tells the truth), to carry on with his irrelevant quotes (which are meant to prove exactly what, other than he doesn't have an opinion ?) and to wiggle out of his his lies by calling them “mistakes of fact”. A moron, who thinks that if he repeats his lies often enough, they'll become true. Numb nuts can't be taken seriously.

Feb 28th, 2018 - 09:38 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Yup, just as I said. You whine about Jack Bauer insulting you but you are happy to do to do the same to me. Hypocrite.
@JB
“as you might think differently if you had heard about just a few of their crimes committed during Carnival in Rio”
I think I can safely say that he would not. If you want to be a realist you might consider that robbing tourists does not generally warrant the death penalty, and that there are other options besides murdering the kids or adopting them.
I also learnt French at school for five years, and even got an A, but I never could speak it, and I've forgotten most of it now since I've barely used it since. Think reckons he can read any romance language just because he speaks Spanish, but I'm sure that is not true of most people.
Re Terry, I really meant it when I said he doesn't know how to reason. He literally thinks that arguments are just competitive quoting, and whoever finds the best expert wins. The idea of evaluating an argument and thinking for yourself goes completely over his head, that is why he gets so angry when other people don't play by his silly made up rules.
Also, the site going down earlier reminded me that I was going to give you my email address just in case. It's d3montree, and then @gmail.com. You can send me an email to make sure it's right if you like, but I may not reply until I get home, depending on whether I remember my password.

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.

Lying again Terence. I didn't refuse to give the where and the whys, if you had asked I would have supplied the links. I knew you would feel exactly the same about your insults as Jack did about his, but any reasonable person would agree your abusive behaviour was just as abusive in context, not to mention completely idiotic. Perhaps you can't help the fact you don't have a proper understanding of argument, evidence, or really anything else, but your arrogance and offensiveness is definitely your responsibility.
