Rioting create havoc in Brazil.
ReplyDeleteMost of the Brazilian population seems to be disagreed with the president due to the soccer world cup expenses, let’s find out what happened during this week.
Citizens from Rio de Janeiro, Sao Paulo, Curitiba, Salvador, Fortaleza, decided to go out in the streets in order to protest against Brazil’s president, Dima Rousseff. It all started on Sunday as a pacific manifestation, but now is getting more and more violent because the cops began to use tear gas and rubber bullets so that they could control the protesters.
Apparently the main cause of this situation, are the high expenses destined to stadiums for the soccer world cup that have not been finished yet. However, they also say that the second biggest problem is “corruption”. One of the protesters said to a journalist: “the government plays with our money, we believe in fake promises; we pay taxes so as to receive something good from public institutions, but they give us only awful services”
According to the international press, these are the worst and most violent riots ever seen in Brazil, during the last two decades.

Brazilians march despite fare reversal
ReplyDeleteA massive crowd of demonstrators swelled around an iconic church in the heart of Rio de Janeiro on Thursday, shouting "down with corruption" and "I can live without the World Cup." Police initially reported tens of thousands of protesters in Rio de Janeiro but later said the crowds had grown to more than 300,000 people.
Large demonstrations in Rio de Janeiro, Sao Paulo and Brasilia came a day after a movement that started as a protest against a 9-cent increase in bus fares scored a major victory. The movement has galvanized people across the country who say they're fed up with high taxes and a lack of services -- such as health and education -- while the government spends billions on preparations for the 2014 World Cup.
The government has stressed that the force's mission is to mediate and not repress. Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff told peaceful protesters Tuesday that their message was being heard.In light of the protests, the Brazilian president has postponed a trip to Japan, the state-run Agencia Brasil news agency reported Thursday.
I've already commented on this.
Delete12 – year- old math genius admitted in Harvard
ReplyDeleteThe dream of many people is go to Harvard to study , people that go to Harvard are very intelligent but this person are a genius he has only twelve years old I can’t believe it.
Are people born with superior minds? I think yes we are not all equal we have different minds and superiority this is the history of a one boy that born genius in math his name is Sebas he born in California in his school the people called him dexter . One day Harvard admitted in the university but this kid what is going to do in college? Maybe he can study but he can’t leave at parties for me he has ended the school first and then go to college, a boy who has 12 years old it’s very young in a university. If this boy goes to the university will cost to adapt to the environment in the university
In my opinion this boy can wait he is a genius and have many opportunities in his life
