I spoke to a man a couple weeks ago that was moving his foriegn and sports car repair business to Brazil because the environment there was more friendly to small business.
I don’t know whether he’s right or wrong, but I know that I wouldn’t have thought he could possibly be right even a few years ago. Now I’m not so sure.

He’s partially right: I purposely did it to Brazil because of their soccer prowess.

Reminds me of an infamous phone call to a New York City talk radio show some years ago on the topic of multiculturalism, Black History Month, etc.
The caller pointed out that the United States of America had put men on the moon and launched spacecraft with boring regularity even while most people outside "white civilization" were still peeing in their drinking water.
I laughed so hard I almost drove off the road.

Wow, I barely escaped that one since I have hazel eyes. However, my two kids have blue eyes, therefore are responsible for the worlds woes. Didn't know they had it in them.
Does this guy have a spot in Eric Holder's Justice Department?

Why is it always MY fault.
To: pepperdog
Nope.....as long as the silent majority of whites keep taking it. Just go to South Central Los Angeles, Oakland, Detroit, Atlanta, etc. Obama’s people. Remember what he said during his campaign? “Our time has come.” Who do you believe he was talking to?

Brazil’s President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva on Thursday blamed the global economic crisis on “white people with blue eyes” The U.S. president, Mr. Obama, probably believes the same thing. He just hasn't said it yet. Give him time. He'll eventually let the truth slip out.

yep, everything’s pretty much my fault these days. Including the Mexican drug violence.
FWIW, I looked at a picture of the guy, and he looks fairly gringo to me? Wonder if he’s of Portugese or Native Indian heritage??
