Mensagem: | Carlos, where are you from? I've never even been to Brazil but from what I have read and heard, Porto Alegre is a very well-to-do city. Most of the residents make decent salaries, and the salary ratio is not too disprotioned. You see, Carlos, crime for the most part is an economic issue. In other words, the less economic disparity there is among the residents when it comes to incomes, the less problems there are. In Rio and Sao Paulo the income ratio between the well-to-do and the regular people is ridiculous. And when the well-to-do get "jacked" they wonder why. I've never been to Brazil and I know. I wonder why they simply don't get it...? This is only my 2cents.... I believe Andre Oliveira lives in Porto Alegre. Ask him specifically!!! Cheers, -Miguel Vieria |
