re: It's a joke how the media is praying for the Rio Olympics to be a disaster.

50 police have been killed in Rio alone this year.

And the level of corruption is unreal. I knew a guy who was in LE and sent down to Brazil to consult. Said he was riding around with Brazilian police when they got in a fender bender. He said the police got out, robbed the offender, Shot him, and threw his body of the bridge.

I ain't sure that story is 100% but I wouldn't doubt it.

This is not true because this guy said it. You admit in your post, that Brasil if rife with corruption, but then you take his comment as fact?

All of you are going to be so disappointed when it ends up being just another Olympics.


I don't remember another Olympics where the threat of doo doo floating into a swimmer's mouth was a very real risk.

Just because Brasil is rife with corruption doesn't mean that the Olympics will be compromised. It is an event. It is not a presidential election. They will have plenty of security. ETA: I cannot deny that doing business in Brasil is very frustrating. This is why I no longer live there.


Contradict much?

I heard the sand traps are actually packed with fisces at that new golf course.

Anyone who competes in any sport in the bay and doesn't get hep, dysentery or cholera will get a gold medal.

If you only get 1 of the 3 you get silver, 2 of the 3 is bronze.
