Well... where are the another ones? Im sure i did see members from equador, bolivia, colombia, mexico and so... where are they?

Anyway... The great cities of brasil (rio de janeiro, sao paulo, etc) are dangerous indeed. Our police is not so good, so there is a lot of robbery, and also there is the favelas (ghetto?), the poor areas of the cities which are controlated by drugs dealers, and where is dangerous to enter even under daylight.
But, as in almost everywhere, the violence is greater in greater cities. In the smaller (or richer, in the south/southeast) cities of here, the violence is far smaller, and they are good places to live.
As most of cities of here are small/medium, in average i would say its a peaceful enough place, and very peaceful for a "3rd world" one.
Birdgirl, i agree with the term "still-developing country", and only used "3rd world" because its still the more known. In fact, brasil is a very large country, and full of contrasts, so its hard to correctly "classificate" it.
And, yes, i must agree that im a "privileged"... i went to a university, i have a computer with internet, and its a greater privilege because im from the middle class, and here most of this things i had are privilege only of the rich ones...
I would risk that less than 10% of people here have this. But, strangely enough, this 10% of "privileged" have the most part of all the money, there is a lot of poor people and few very rich ones.
Anyway, politcs aside, thats still a very good place.

But where are the another ones?
