Oddly enough, it is "Brasil" in «standard» portuguese (Portugal and the other african countries) but it is "Brazil" in brazilian portuguese.
WRONG! :)
Its Brasil on brazilian portuguese too.

You are right, it seems to be "Brasil" in brazilian portuguese too. Do you know why i got it wrong? It used to be "Brazil" some years (up to a few decades?) ago. Seems i'm kind of oldie, hahaha.

Ho, just so you all know, i hence forth "reserve" the meaning "European", and all translations of it, to refer to the portuguese. So, from now on, when anyone says an european, it will be meaning a portuguese.

By the way, i might as well also make another reservation, before someone is quicker than me. From now on, i "reserve" the meaning of the words "shoe", "road", "wheel" and "foot" to mean car. So, from now on, when anyone says one of those 4 words, it will be refering to a car.

Stop being so emo about it people. That won't get anything done. Let's look for ways to get rid of the idiots!

I propose to start a campaign that proclaims that there is no conclusive evidence that people will die without air, that "drowning" is just a conspiracy by the scientific community to destroy the American economy and that people who "drown" are instead killed by God for being sinful or something.

I don't think the shirts are necessary.

For added confusion, in Spanish, in Latin America, they sometimes refer to the USA as "Norteamerica" and Americans as "Norteamericanos". That literally translates to "North Americans". So, if Americans are Norteamericanos, wtf are Canadians?

Well, gas chambers should work. Put a sign up in front:
FREE PIE,
in gas chamber.
Anyone who goes for the pie deserves what he gets. Anyone who doesn't go for it, gets the *REAL* pie.

On another note, IMHO it should be "Americans" = "People from USA", "North Americans" = "People from Canada". Seriously, makes sense.

Needs more making stupidity a crime. Even if that means emptying out the jails and useing them as fortresses to keep the criminals out instead.

2004 Ohio voting records disappear:

Mass wiretapping may be legalized:

Protesters are labelled terrorists by the FBI:

Man immolates self in protest of Iraq, media censors it:

Protesters arrested under new laws against freedom of speech:

War protesters silently have their sentence increased:

(They hung a sign in their car window - this is apparently a felony. Advertising around roads is D-A-N-G-E-R-O-U-S !!!!)

Protest, aka free speech, is now illegal:

If the government thinks you are - no, MIGHT BE - troublesome, your assets can be siezed under new law:

This is probably way off the mark, since TBH I'm unfamiliar with American law, but I'm saying it anyway. Here it comes, straight from my ass: anyone with a criminal record is not permitted to vote, if I remember correctly. So in other words, if you protest, you lose your ability to vote.

Welcome to Soviet USA.

A felony disqualifies you from voting, not a misdemeanor.
