Cheating signs

In light of so many public figures taking risks by cheating on their spouses, many women are now worried about being able to read the signs before being always the last one to know. While some say cheating is a biological drive that many men (and women) cannot help, most people who have been through the ordeal know how much it hurts to be cheated on.

I found these warning signs to be interesting. Ignore the religious references if you are not religious like me.

It is awful to live in paranoia, but no one should be totally blind either:

Politically incorrect Brazilians

The title of this post says everything: we Brazilians are not usually politically correct. Classism, xenofobia, racism, as well as comtempt for the handicapped, overweight, poor or ugly is more accepted than in the USA. 

When Brazilians are gathered in social situations, remarks that can be considered offensive fly left and right. At most, it raises an eyebrow or two, but frequently, it provokes laughter and camaraderie. We don’t have in Brazil acceptable  names to call certain minorities. It is common to hear white folks call a young black Brazilian “o pretinho” (the “blackie”) or a wheelchair -bound person “aleijadinho” (the ”little crippled one” ). 

In a society which still has deep differences in class structure, the condescending and discriminatory tone used by many people is often seen as natural. When some people are perceived as “better” than others, this kind of speech is tolerated and even encouraged.  Despite all its recent economic success, Brazil still has a long way to go when it comes to respect to others who are different.
