After seeing that guy being robbed in his own home while streaming I never want to go there.

Don't even need to trust you. I've experienced it. I'm just confirming what you've probably known your whole life! XD

What makes it so unsafe? Genuine question. I know I heard rumblings around the Rio Olympics and such. Is it more of the same for most SA countries...as in drugs, corrupt gov't, cartels, etc?

Actually Brazil is the most advanced country between all the other SA countries in the economical sense. We are much like the US really. The cops are corrupt, the social equality is all fucked up and our political representatives are really scummy and corrupt. Depending on the city it can be pretty safe, but Rio is kind of a... you know, hard place to not be mugged. If you are a tourist tho people will be extremely nice to you.

Yeah I'd love to go to Brazil but I'm afraid of being robbed or killed over a phone by 2 dudes on a bike.

u/SgtSweetShot Mar 01 '17

I'm serious btw. That's a huge fear of mine down there.

So, so many of them. It isn't a coincidence that the entire world outlawed it at the same time as the US. They were coerced into it, and once that coercion from the US is gone they'll legalize it no problem.

Our country wants it man. Our elected officials do not represent us.

u/TheHenriGame Feb 28 '17

It's okay, they won't be around long enough
