it's a shame that nurses aren't getting paid enough to feel as though they need to sell it!!!!!!!! You do not understand the minds of most people here ... There is a saying in Portuguese that translated would be "the bag of greed is never full". This means that if you are a greedy person without good morals, it doesn't matter how much you earn honestly: if you have a chance to earn more dishonestly, you will do it. The example I gave is just to show how dishonesty is common here and affects all social levels: from hired workers, to employees and even police and politicians. In general, they do not mind harming the elderly, children or the sick as long as they themselves earn more money. There is a joke that illustrates this. Two milk sellers saw the sea for the first time. One of them says: "Look, friend, imagine that all this was milk, and all this was ours. Imagine how much money we would earn by selling all that milk." And then the other responds: "But where would we find that much water to mix in the milk?"

I have been reading about corruption in South America, but not the day-to-day experiences of living in highly corrupt countries. The first line of the Wikipedia page of "Corruption in Brazil" is: "Corruption in Brazil exists on all levels of society from the top echelons of political power to the smallest municipalities." Few other pages begin with so strong a statement. From there, I discovered this Corruption Perceptions Index map, which others may find interesting as well. And, of course, I'm sorry about the situation there, Jean It's awful when those in power can't be trusted.

No, you do not get context for this passage from a piece of homework I recently submitted:
"Emily loves Homer, and keeps trying to make their relationship work. She rides in a carriage with him. She buys a silver bath set with his initials. She poisons him, and then sleeps with his body."

I see her eye has been outfitted with the latest technology. Something from VFD?
And unfortunately I have to regretfully announce that I’m here to procrastinate my last year of design school! I’m glad many people here are still familiar faces.

Ahh, hi, Tryina Denouement! I’ve seen you a lot around the forums in old threads; it’s really nice to see that you’re back! Perhaps this is just youthful naïveté, but it seems to be shaping up to be a good year for the forum.
