No, you critisized the level of literacy.
Once again you’re full of it.
In any blog your level of literacy is determined by your ability to convey your message via spelling and typing. Whatever way you choose to say it, you still carry that snobbery so many liberals are famous for by assuming they are so much smarter than everyone else.
And yet all you really do is cry like a little boy and bring no points that I couldnt crap out my rear in my sleep.

“Also, you call Brazil a sh*thole?!!; have you flown a US airline lately? Hah!”

How does that have anything to do with me choosing to live and do business in America ?
At least they’re not getting flown into buildings anymore.

Did you know that only four countries in the world don’t mandate paid leave for new mothers? Apart from the US, the other three average a per capita income of $1,200! On this front, we are in the company of the truly miserable.

Micky: I haven’t complained about anyone’s spelling and grammar. I’ve found their comments and reasoning deficient, though.

Also, you call Brazil a sh*thole?!!; have you flown a US airline lately? Hah!

In addition , since my first response to this line with special attention to “feudalists” I will also add that it has become incresingly apparent since your little love fest with Jersey began that you would only like to hear yourselves both being reflected in each others confirmation of your dysfunctional ideas.

The best example of you dysfunctional thought process would be how you undoubtedly made my point for me when you said this; “Also, JMJ, I certainly would never say that Brazil is Valhalla” after you were so hell bent on putting Brazil at the top of the world simply because they had a little bump in their economy.

Of course you and Jersey are quite simply ignorant to the level of the trade offs involved when you brag about these other countries and their excellence in only one or two areas as compared to all the great things we have to be thankful for here in America.
You’re like a couple of spoiled rotten little teenage girls who bitch about everything at home and you know damn well this is the best place on earth
Does it need work ? Yea! Of course it does.
But the methods and solutions you both would like to impose on this country have been tried before in other civilizations and they have failed.
This line of yours Michaell says it all in a nut shell.

why does the US even need a yacht industry? It doesn’t

The market decides, not your personal hatred for anyone who makes more money than you.

Finnegan’s Wake-Up Call

“I don’t doubt that you feverishly WISH to believe as much, but whether you CAN build yachts is increasingly fanciful. Perhaps if you build for wealthy European or Arab clients, yes. They have healthy economies, valuable currencies. But don’t imagine you’ll be building your piss-off yacht for Americans.”

I have a wake up call for you. Go ask Ted kennedy !

Also , if you paid attention to the post here and were actually up to date on the conversation you would realize that I referd to the many collateral employment oppotunities involved in the production of yachts and luxury recreational marine vehicles.
I live in Hawaii, and trust me bro ! I work on alot of yachts refinishing the brass, copper and replating everything from portholes to deck trims.
The plating and refinishing business in the mainland states alone employs well into the hundreds of thousands.
That is simply the plating and metal fabrication aspect of a yachts construction.
Do I also need to mention the hundreds of other materials and services involved in building these vehicles that add to Americas labor force and contribute to our economy ?
Now, shall we talk about the commercial use of these vehicles also ? And the services they provide and the staffs that they employe ?
Being one of the top tourist destinations in the world I can safely tell you that these vessels add a huge amount of volume to our states economy.
And one of the biggest contributions to my success as a small business owner.

Finnegan:
“Take it from the market. And Gillligan dude? Take it like a man.

Why do libs or the equivalent nuts always bring up the “man” thing?

Hmmm…

Yea, and the same shmucks that you say are in control of our f’d up tax system are the same shmucks you want to take care of your body ?

Puleeese.
I have only one thing to say to you and those who would want government control health care.

PULL IT OUT !

“Just visited your blog.

I like what I saw!”

Thanks man - I like your’s too!

“But it amazes me how easy it is to raise the hackles of some Americans simply by pointing out that sometimes other countries get things right, and often we in the USA get things wrong.”

Oh God, I know. It’s so frustratingly stupid. And when you see these hackles raised at the highest levels of our government. such as when SCJs cite foreign law, that’s just embarrassing. I think the best example of this futile psuedo-logic is seen in our healthcare system. We are the ONLY developed nation with such a backwards, cannibalistic, useless, parasitic system. Or take our Police State. We have the highest incarceration rate in the world, and though our levels of crime are understandable (we are the “wretched refuse” afterall), there’s no excuse for the blatant race/class war that is the war on drugs, or the self-defeating incarceration of absent fathers, or the regressive taking of licenses for non-traffic related offenses, or the seizing of assets without due process. And the ridiculous military! Don’t even get me started on that! We behave like a Third World cesspit! It just goes on and on, and the xenophobic excuses from the Right are so d@maned frustratingly stupid, making all these problems virtually intractable.

JMJ

Hah !
The blogosphere has also shown me that this is the most definate sign of a rabid lunatic leftist.
Their bloated snobbery always forces them to bring up the slightest misuse of grammar.
And he talks about vindictive ?

( By the way, your new buddy Jersey misspelled “growth” and “progress” )

But it amazes me how easy it is to raise the hackles of some Americans simply by pointing out that sometimes other countries get things right, and often we in the USA get things wrong.

Yea ! Duh?
Especially when you compare to a freaking hell hole !

As simple minded as this might seem I guess I should explain to you that I already live here, and I’m quite happy where I’m at in my beautiful house in Hawaii where we enjoy the 2nd or 3rd highest standard of living in the country, our crime rate is half that of anywhere in the country and we have been elected the best city(Honolulu) in the country to raise my son or any child for that matter. We also enjoy being one of the healthiest states in the country and we live longer than the average American also.
But from the sounds of things you would be happier any place else.

Heres a little insight on the situation on your lovely Brazil

“The Brazilian police and the Brazilian press report that the rate of crime continues to rise, especially in the major urban centers – though it is also spreading in rural areas. Brazil’s murder rate is more than four times higher than that of the U.S. Rates for other crimes are similarly high. The majority of crimes are not solved.
Street crime remains a problem for visitors and local residents alike, especially in the evenings and late at night. Foreign tourists are often targets of crime and Americans are not exempt.
Robbery and “quicknapping” outside of banks and ATM machines are common. In a “quicknapping,” criminals abduct victims for a short time in order to receive a quick payoff from the family, business or the victim’s ATM card. Some victims have been beaten and/or raped.
BRASILIA: Once spared the crime rates of other Brazilian cities, Brasilia now has significant crime problems. Following the citywide trend of previous years, reports of residential burglaries continue to occur in the generally affluent residential sections of the city. Public transportation, hotel sectors and tourist areas are still the locations with the highest crime rates, though statistics show that incidents can happen anywhere and at anytime. The majority of kidnappings in Brasilia continue to be the “quicknappings.”
MEDICAL FACILITIES AND HEALTH INFORMATION: Medical care is generally good, but it varies in quality, particularly in remote areas, and it may not meet U.S. standards outside the major cities.
An increase in Dengue Fever cases in early 2008 led to a number of deaths primarily around Rio. Visitors are advised to take precautions against mosquitoes.

And most recently there was this little development.

http://www.globalvoicesonline.org/2008/01/20/brazil-no-right-to-information/
“Where is the transparency?”, asks PE Body Count [pt] on learning that the Secretary of Social Defense in Pernambuco, Brazil has decided to stop providing information on violence and crime rates to the press. “The attitude, in the most naive approach, may raise suspicion that there manipulation of the homicide rates and other statistics”.

So ya know what bub.
