mais fácil enviar os filhos dos portugueses comerciantes ricos para
as universidades da metrópole. Isso sem contar que, para que
tivéssemos nossa indenpendência reconhecida por Portugal, assumimos
a dívia que este tinha com a Inglaterra, dando início assim ao nosso

>after all, it was desire of them to remain in the control of the situation, an instructed people would not let be dominated; it was more easy to send the children of the rich trading Portuguese for the universities of the metropolis. This without counting that, for us to have our recognized independence by Portugal, we assumed the debt that they had with England, making it the beginning to our process of external indebtedness, diminishing our possibilities to invest in the social one<


Instructed people did not let to be dominated?? How? They fight with a pen?What do you do to the canons?Throw books? Brave warriors do not let them self be dominated. That is what they have proved.

Read what they did to have an Empire, what have you Brazilians done? Instructed people? They taught Latin and Greek it does not seem you have the same quality education that they gave you centuries ago. Children of the rich? Where did you get that one? Anyone that really wanted to learn would find a way and would not be difficult to find work on a ship and find work to pay for the studies if they were not free. It looks for what I already read that if the person was a good student they probably invested on the person.


The debt you assumed was to pay the English, the oldest allies of the Portuguese, for helping them to send the French troops away from their lands it seems they fought side by side. By the way where were the Brazilians? Did they help in anyway? Sent troops , or a fleet to help the Portuguese?? I can’t read anything about it except the fact that you were founding schools while they were fighting a war? Where was your help? Can you update that information? Did you let them to die?? Or you went to help them?

It looks you are blaming them for your debts and are using that as an excuse for your social problems? Did I get that right?

You complain about what you paid, can you tell me how much you paid your land per square meter just for us to have an idea. And by the way how many lives they paid for Brazil?? With so many gold mines it must have been very difficult for you to pay them something.

If the British thought their home land and their people was worth that money and we look at the size of Portugal how much were your lands worth? Less than theirs?

"1st university in Brazil: 1912 (opened by Brazilians, not by Portuguese)

1st university in Peru: National University of San Marcos, 1551 (opened by Spanish)
1st university in Mexico: National Autonomous University of Mexico, 1551 (opened by Spanish) "


Man, it took you a while...

It was to pay for the lives of British soldiers, military equipment and help, not the value of the Portuguese lands and people. That was how much they thought their help was worth. The price they charged we accepted not complained.

Yes, they laughed because they took it as a joke.


“Lula asks for the aid of Portugal, in crisis with the Foot and Mouth Disease
The president also asked for to the government of Portugal to facilitate the process of legalization of the Brazilians in the country initiated in July of 2003.[…]
[…]he asked that the Portuguese authorities exempt poor Brazilian immigrants of the payment of the relative fines to be in the country after expired the tourist visa - the fines are in average of 600 euros (about R$ 1,8 a thousand) for person. "I have a request
. “That Portugal can pardon the debt as pardons the debts of the poor countries.""
[...]”I ask that [Portugal] helps to facilitate the agreement between the Mercosul and the European Union, […]”
[...]In the afternoon, president Lula and the Portuguese president, Jorge Sampaio, awarded the Camões Prize to the [Brazilian] writer Lygia Fagundes Telles. It is the main prize of the Portuguese language literature, it came with a check of 100 thousand euros.”
100000 Euros = 260190 Brazilian Reais

The rich traders were Portuguese the poor ones were Brazilians. That was a brilliant comment!!!!

“The country has the world's fourth largest student population in the tertiary sector and the number of university students has grown by around a fifth in the past five years to 3 million. However, only 8% of 25 to 64-year-olds have attended university, and campaigners say bias in the system prevents black pupils and those educated in state schools from securing a place.
According to the Institute of Applied Economic Research (IPEA), the average black Brazilian possesses five years of education compared with the eight years accumulated by a white Brazilian, and is also two and a half times poorer.
Last year 65% of university students were educated at private secondary schools and two out of three were drawn from the wealthiest 20% of the population.”

Your University is the merging of a group of schools and colleges that were opened a long time ago.

It took you from 1822 to 1912, about 90 years to open a University??? Just to merge the schools??? What were you doing in the mean time? Fighting for an empire?


>>>1st university in Brazil: 1912 (opened by Brazilians, not by Portuguese)

1st university in Peru: National University of San Marcos, 1551 (opened by Spanish)

Portuguese people never invested culturally in Brazil. Spanish DID invest heavily in its overseas territories.<<<

Complain to your Universities that give the wrong information to the public…It seems you do not want to recognize them as universities…

“Largo São Francisco is a traditional Law School located in São Paulo, Brazil, founded by Brazilian regent Dom Pedro I in 1827. It is claimed to be the first university in Brazil, although two other academic institutions, specifically from Olinda and Manaus, also dispute such title.”

Rather than blaming the Portuguese of things for 150 years or more ago, isn't it a shame that now you control Brazil yourselves, it is still the poor, through their heavily taxed salaries ,that pay for the rich, who pay relatively little( dão um jeitinho), to get their education?

''Mas um mesmo texto lido em voz alta por um brasileiro e por um
português vai soar completamente diferente, ou melhor; difrente! Aliás, faça você mesmo a experiência: tente tirar a letra de uma música cantada por um cantor ou uma cantora da "terrinha" e veja como é difícil! E por incrível que pareça, um dos principais obstáculos para a
difusão no Brasil do cinema feito em Portugal é justamente.., A língua — além das dificuldades de
distribuição, ligadas ao quase monopólio do cinema americano. Como os brasileiros têm dificuldades em entender o português de Portugal, e como ficaria no mínimo estranho colocar legendas em filmes portugueses, o resultado é que praticamente nunca se vê filme
português nos cinemas daqui. Temos a impressão de que Portugal não produz cinema, o que é falso: há bons cineastas portugueses, um dos quais, Manuel d'Oliveira, é reconhecido internacionalmente como um grande diretor.''

Bla-bla-bla bonita essa.
Depois dizem que Brazileiro e Portugues não se entendem.
Vai dar emprego para quem não precisa e fora disso não vai dar em nada. Vê a ajuda que Timor recebe neste aspecto.
