No, I'm not Brazilian, I'm from the USA. I hate it here because the people are soooo dumb and thier accents just make you want to scream sometimes.

The girls aren't as good as everyone says, it's just that they outnumber the guys pretty heavily, and they're very promiscuous. When I got here I thought there was something about me that attracted them, come to find out they're all pretty slutty. Prostitution is legal, but the girls are so loose I doubt it would be worth the money.

I admit the things I said were written in a harsh way, but come on, IT WAS TWO YEARS AGO. My critique was of a culture I found devoid of compassion, values, and seriousness(something shocking to me because of my good experiences with Brazilian family and my girlfriend.) If you want me to apologise for it, sure whatever, but I wasn't mocking any of the races of Brazil or their devotion to Catholicism. If anything I was citicizing their(certain segments of the population, specifically the kids of executives that I met and those that moved in their circles) extreme embrace of American capitalist values, and therefore criticizing American style hedonism. I had moved to a place full of millions of Paris Hiltons

I've said all I'm going to say about that post from October of 2005. If any of you can find a hint of prejudice towards blacks in any of my posts I will adress that, as that was the original claim of Eraserhead, that I had made anti-black statements.

I find it ironic that conservatives say that they want to preserve american culture and yet what they really want to do is change it. I also find it hypocritical, when obviously, porn and all of these other horrible things will be wiped out by the free market. Duh.

I know I said I wasn't going to say anything else about it, but I can't let that go. That comment was regarding a small subsect of Brazilian society, which I made abundantly clear later in the paragraph.

BTW, I talked with Poughies privately and I think we were harsh with him, and he really didn't mean to offend.
I wasnt offended by what Poughies said. But the generalizations you made were pretty harsh on the brazilians.

Attack Romney all you want, I don't care.

Leave his religion out of it.

If he wants to suppress free speech based on what his religious says is objectionable, then it's completely fair game.

I don't care if, say, Harry Reid is a Mormon.  Great for him.


It is never "fair game" to attack anyone's church.  Rather, it is repugnant, no matter how you try to disguise it.



I suppose you whole heartedly support The Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints then?

He thinks that anyone who opposes Romney because he's a Mormon is a bigot.

But, strangely, Mormons who support Romney solely because of his religion seem to be doing nothing wrong.
Yes, but I am speaking of The Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

I will not be drawn into this type of an internet dialogue with individuals who are obviously predisposed to an already unenlightened stance and prejudicial attitude.
You don't know what you are even talking about. And you dodged my question? Do you support the FLDS?

I have made it a policy of mine not to discuss my personal life on this forum.  However, let me make it perfectly clear, like Mitt Romney, for example, like John Edwards, for example, like most of the Presidential candidates, for example, I am a devout Christian, and my Lord and Savior is Jesus Christ.

Never at any time, not in the past, not now, and at no time in the future, have I, or am I, or will I ever be, a member, or supporter, or have any association with, in any way, shape, or form, with the FLDS.

I am proud to number among my friends Christians and non Christians alike, and I am as well proud to number among my friends people of many different races, nationalities, and creeds.

Well, I think that the people have right to attack Romney because of his religion. If you're crazy enough to believe something that has been proven to be a charade, what makes you think your political beliefs aren't also whacky?

Then again, I am an atheist.

This is about the mentality of what I would expect from someone who calls himself "South Park Conservative," who approves of "attack Romney because of his religion."

This is low, this is disgusting, this is bigoted, to attack anyone because of their religion.

I find it incredible that such narrow minded attitudes still cast their dark and decaying shadow over 21st century society.   

Attack Romney all you want, I don't care.

Actually, you couldn't be more wrong. 

Romney speaks for what he believes.  He does not speak for his church, his church does not speak for him.

It is never "fair game" to attack anyone's church.  Rather, it is repugnant, no matter how you try to disguise it.

As President, Romney will have no control over his church, and his church will have no control over him.

Romney is a firm believer in the separation of church and state.   

Wants to supress free speech?  Nonsense.

If you ask me, you sound like a hypocrite. And my comments on this thread had nothing to do with Romney's religion. In fact, when I see Romney speak on CNN or wherever, he has always seemed like a great person. I still believe that he truly believes in everything he did in 1994, too. Also, I'd proudly vote for Harry Reid or any other Mormon like him. Anyway, your comments just aren't consistent.
