What you posted is the equivalent of visiting a burn center in a hospital and arguing that 100% of patients in hospitals are being treated for burns

Obv those aren't really evidence of anything, just thought they were amusing anecdotes considering the people going 'I've lived here for X years and poo poo is going cray prolly don't visit.'

It's prolly not, just like Bulgaria isn't really that dangerous (well, stay out of the 'mrusnici' areas lol) as long as you yield to the mobsters running the place.

Still though it takes a lot to rattle someone from that area imo.

Portuguese and Brazilian media revealed last month that Ismail Abdul Jabbar al-Brazili, also simply known as "The Brazilian," was attempting to recruit his countrymen for the Islamic State.

I'm just saying that obviously 100% of tourists this summer in Rio are not going to get mugged, killed, or even bumbummed

If you have a friend or someone going to RIo, I wouldnt talk them out of it, I'd just drop a "be safe"

If I had to put a percentage on it, I'd say by the end of the olympics 1% of the tourists will have experienced a bad time(be a victim of something). That's a large percentage, but nowhere near the hellscape I would convince someone to walk away from

Brazil wasn't also in rapid decline a few years ago. Right after they got the bid for 2016 they were still riding a strong economy, then it tanked.

Petrobras might not be around in name much longer too.

"In the United States alone, there are 27 cases against Petrobras. These cases, represented by six law firms, involve hundreds of institutional investors here that are taking on Petrobras. For much of the last 12 years, Petrobras was run as an ATM machine for the ruling Workers’ Party and its allies in the Democratic Movement Party and others down the food chain. Roughly $14 billion was ransacked from the company, though that number is being disputed by legal teams from New York to Rio de Janeiro.

In early July, Petrobras lawyers appealed a September 19th case in New York on a technicality. Lead counsel in the case from the Pomerantz law firm said the company is simply stalling. It has a lot to hide. And, literally, is running out of places to hide it."

The closer the Olympics get, the better the stories of corruption and what not, start to get as well. They should cash in on this by having a show on HBO or even A&E.

Having a daughter at 13 doesn't means her life is totally hosed. By the time her daughter is 16 and ready to move out of the house shes only going to be 30 and maybe even a grandmother and get that Xbox Live achievement over with early.

Yeah I mean it's not a guarantee I suppose, just an extreme statistical likelihood. Also statistically likely: that 13 year old is going to continue making bad life choices.

Best case scenario the mom just raises the grandkid as her own kid and the 13 year old has a wake up call and cleans up her act, then sure it could work out fine. Just not very likely.
