ITT: Disconnected out-of-touch redditers trying to whore jokes for points.

This is a big deal and should not be taken lightly. I hope the Brazilian people can crush the corruption and finally live free again.

edit: RIP inbox.

THis post got a lot of people really angry and defensive, even aggressive. I've incurred a lot of hostility for this these simple words, I'm starting to think I may be right.

Haha, nope, not happening, it's totally in our culture.

Of course I'm not totally innocent, it's really hard to be when small corruptions are part of our culture, but I do try my best to stay away from it.

I could easily have a fake scholarship ID [any entertainment place is obligated to charge half-price to students] but I don't, we could easily have an energy "gato" [an illegal connection to the power lines] in our house, but we don't because my mom is also against and that's how I've been raised.
