What?!?

I'm not sure what you're trying to say with this post.  I never said 
that you, or any of the rest of us from the U.S. should be shameful of 
our country.  I also don't think that Brazilians need to be shameful of 
THEIR country.  I DO think that you should not be slamming INDIVIDUAL 
Brazilians for what you PERCEIVE of the Brazilian NETWORKS.
