It seems like one of those wonderfuly politicaly incorrect comedies. It will be very fun to watch when it becomes available around here, I certainly won't miss it. {sm4}

As for the ice cream, wait untill you see the competition come out with a Stalin or Kim Jong-un double scoop cone {sm4}{sm4}

Sentaapua my Brother,

I have been waiting for you to come out of hiding! Where have you been? I would like for you to be our 2016 Olympics Forum moderator/thread starter. You did so well with the FIFA World Cup and you my friend are possibly the luckiest man in the world by having two of the World largest competitions in your country back to back. Can you do that for us?

Also, this Zika virus news is causing quite a stir is the US and around the world. Is it really that bad of a pandemic in South America? Do you think it will affect participation in the Olympics? Frankly, I really did not know much about it until recently. It is a terrible affliction.

I wish you well señor

Hi John!

Thanks for your kind words! Yep, I have been absent for quite a while, just reading some threads occasionally and never having the time to post. Despite having the luck of two major sport events being held here in a two year interval, on the economic/political events arena luck hasn’t been around, quite the contrary... Brazil is living what one could call a "perfect storm" in which an economic crisis fuels a political crises and vice-versa, with no end in sight. The economic slowdown is unparalleled here, something like what the months after September 2008 looked like in the US, but add the political crises to the script... Needless to say that under these circumstances my focus is completely directed to work, leaving me away from my beloved hobby and friends here.
As for the Olympics, even under this backdrop the city of Rio is in full force working to deliver a great event, and it seems by all I could witness so far that they are set to do a great job. The Zika virus is a major issue here, scientific discussions all over the media, politicians seizing the opportunity to take their share of the situation, the whole frenzy going on, but so far it's not perceived as a direct threat to the population in general, but to expecting mothers and the newborn, since the cases of microcephaly skyrocketed in areas were the Zika occurrence was strong. But as you know, even what looks like an obvious relation between Zika and microcephaly has been subject to dispute. The real problem IMHO is not Zika, nor dengue (which has been a million times far more of a problem) or chikungunya fever, but the mosquito that spreads them, Aedgis Egypti. The good news is that a massive campaign is underway to fight the mosquito, and the Olympics will be held during our winter here, when the mosquito population naturally drastically reduces. So frankly so far I don't think that it will affect the participation in the Olympics, at least from a rational standpoint, in light of what we witnessed so far and what the majority of the scientific and medical communities are saying.
I’ll be more than happy to bring and share the perspective of a local with those in the forum interested in the views going on down here.
Um abraço,
Carlos

Carlos,

I am humbled by your remarks and am coldly reminded that Brazil is just not a venue, but a living and breathing country that still suffers from social and political strife regardless of hosting the Games or not. Carlos, I suffered dearly in the economic collapse of 2008 as a real estate agent. Within a year in a half my income was cut in half and the most vivid memory I have during that time was receiving a 20K commission check and by the time I paid all my bills (past and present) I had $100 bucks left over with no checks coming in the future. So, with that $100 bucks, I took my family out to dinner that night. I made it through some how, but I do believe I suffered a mental breakdown of some sorts and have never forgot the "sting" of that crisis on me personally and professionally. It was awful Carlos, just awful.

In either 1990 or 1991 I remember watching a TV news report about Rio and the homeless children epidemic. Basically what it said was that the first three or four streets closets to the beach were the most exquisite and nice. After that, it turned to the ghettos and colonias. Apparently, there was (or still is) a severe homeless problem among children in the streets of Rio and the report focused on the actions of the police to curb homeless begging by children. There was a undercover video of Brazilian police officers beating children with sticks and bats...for fun. It was terrible and there were also reports of police beating children to death. I never forgot that report as it was so disturbing to me that I never forgot it and I guess the reason why I am bringing it up Carlos, is to ask you if child homelessness is still a problem in your country like it was reported in the early nineties? Or has there been societal improvements to save some of these children from homelessness. I hope I am not insulting you Carlos by asking you these questions, but I am just curious.

Yes, the mosquito. A nasty, filthy, disease ridden insect that could carry a virus that one day could wipe out an entire population. I loathe them and cannot imagine living in a country like yours that suffers from such a infestation of them. The closets I have been to mosquito's like that is the Far East Jungles of the Philippines. However, here in South Texas we surely get our fair share of ugly mosquito's, but nothing to the extent of your country. I had a class with a student who's dad almost died from West Nile a few years back. He actually left West Point and transferred to a Texas A&M University to finish his education so that he could be at his dad's side in the year it took him to recover. He welled up in tears when he told me the story.

I hope that this year brings you more happiness and success than the years past. I will never forget the huge smiles you and your family had on your faces when posting pictures on this forum of the games you attended at the FIFA World Cup. I hope to see those happy pics again!

John from Texas
