COOL THINGS ABOUT BEING BRAZILIAN

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

1. Turn 18, can drink.
2. The candidate with the most votes wins.
3. No DMCA.
4. No FOX News.
5. No Republicans.
6. I'll be subtle: there, it's only Nevada. Here, it's the entire country.
7. Way cheap food.
8. Way cheap clothes.
9. You can disclose your nationality anywhere in the world and the response is always a smile.
10. Coolest cabinet member EVAH (Culture Minister Gilberto Gil. What's the chance of John Kerry nominating Bruce Springsteen to a cabinet position?)
11. Dress habits. No use trying to describe. Come here around January.
12. No living in fear you might be sent to war - even if you're in the Armed Forces.
13. Caipirinha.
14. Da girls! (See #11)
15. Massive use of alcohol fuel. (See #12: no need to steal others' oil)
16. Carnaval!
17. Highly underrated, if somewhat carnivorous, cuisine. (See #7)
18. Da music! (See #10)

And more I surely forgot. Edit: I can't believe I forgot #12. Edit II: thanks for the contributions!

8. No need to try to explain soccer to your countrymen

much less why it matters.

Plus:

* Massive use of alcohol fuel (see reason #12: no need to steal others' oil)

* Carnaval, without having to travel to New Orleans like here

* Highly underrated, if somewhat carnivorous, cuisine (see #7)

and so on; say, could you guys use a spare futurist/planning dilettante, by any chance? :-)
