Wow! just shows how corrupt Brazillain and south American league football is. At first when i read Thiago i thoght it was the young Star that played in the olympics, R.I.P
I hate when people discriminate. And is not just Brazil where there is a corrupt government. It is the entire world. So don't judge without even having been to the country.
I have been to Brazil two times. The first time I stayed for two months, and the other I stayed for a week.
Did you get robbed or abused? Because i have lived before for about 3 years and the people are very nice and I never had a problem with the police or anything. What you have to understand is that there are loads of sick and bad people all over the globe. Not just " South America or Brazil". Ya know?
Well you are right that there are nice and bad people everywhere. It is just a fact that there is more murder in Brazil. The economist is a trustworthy site. It says there is about 25-28 murders per 100 000 people in Brazil. Murder in Brazil, not as violent as you thought While in US, it's around 5-6 per 100 000. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_homicide_rate
