I'm not going to get offended because you're Portuguese, and therefore it's pretty close to a miracle that you're even functionally literate.

Do you seriously believe most Portuguese people are illeterate? Look at me writing in a foreign language.

Damn rednecks.

illeterate?

think this will work?

i don't. but i'll probably still do it.

The problem with things like this (as stated by maddox in the link I posted through the "I hope SOPA passes" pic earlier in the thread) is that delaying the buy doesn't mean anything... They know you'll just buy it after and then you'll go back to normal increasing their 2nd quarter profits.

I said functionally illiterate. There's a difference.

]The [/url]basic literacy rate of the Portuguese population is 93%, however the functional literacy is amongst the lowest in Europe. According to official sources in 2007, 64% of the population had never read a single book^{[citation needed]}; within the population component that is functionally literate, only 17.9% read more than two books in one year (data collected by Marktest for TSF). According to INE (Portuguese Institute for National Statistics), only 3.7 million Portuguese workers (67% of the working active population) completed basic education (81% of the working population attainned the lower basic level of education and 12% attained the intermediate level of education).

Granted, citation needed.

I have nothing against Portugal, I just think it's funny that 2/3 of the active Portuguese people on this particular forum seem to love slagging off any country that isn't their own.

Q: What kind of non-trolling person says shit like "Country X is the source of all evil"? A: jingoistic moron. I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt and, based on your posting history, assuming you're a troll.

Would that be North or South America?

I think he means the isthmian portion of North America, commonly called Central America, because it's so bio-diverse, containing both Nearctic and Neotropic ecozones, and therefore a logical source for evil organisms.

all those sweaty little guys scheming against the world

Plus, who else but the antichrist would claim to be El Salvador.

it's all making sense now

Every portuguese as read enough football newspapper to count it as a book, and I think the Bible and uncle scorge can count as books too. You probably got that quote from a german far right site, you scumbag nazi.

Yeah. I'm engaged to a Jewish girl, by the way. Watch your tone, you disgusting little child.

lol, oops, which Harry Potter book did I stumble into?

I like Kanakori. He is a very lovable little troll. I for one, embrace him in continuance of the White Man's Burden to civilize all non-American nations.

did someone post this and i missed it? http://mashable.com/2012/01/20/sopa-is-dead-smith-pulls-bill/

Smith (R-Texas) said. “It is clear that we need to revisit the approach on how best to address the problem of foreign thieves that steal and sell American inventions and products.”

it is sad that shit like that is said to appeal to americans.. or does he really think that?

haha.

Sorry, I don't like being called a Nazi for a whole variety of personal reasons, even if it's an obvious attempt at trolling. I'm not going to not feed the troll, here, because honestly I'm happy to watch himself get banned in the continuing escalation of stupidity.

most people from Texas are probably willing to latch on to that, yes.

Americans have been incredibly paranoid about the "Other" for quite some time now. Some people don't know the Cold War is over, others don't want the Cold War to be over.

Why the fuck does Pfizer support SOPA?

Oh god, I'm sure you get cross-lobby support with a ton of this stuff, with the potential for shoving totally unrelated pork into various bills. A little give and take, here and there. Big Pharma might want its back scratched in the near future.
