Nobody "just asks" in FFL.  Every question posed that way is a setup
to viciously mock the person being asked.  Go make mock somebody else.

Do you realize how condescending, patronizing and savior-complex a

I cannot imagine what has happened to him that he has such a

even decades later roiling in such a dark defensiveness when his truth

It's quite OK, Kirk.  I never thought you'd be a real friend, based on our
private email exchange, where you just dropped the exchange for I don't know
why.   Further, our interests are much too diverse.  No possibility of
friendship there.  And I never thought I could trust you.

Perhaps I encouraged you to take your meds.  So you benefited.  That's all I
wanted or expected.  Though I didn't want anything in return, you have not
slammed into me with a bunch of name calling like most of the others on FFL
love to do.  I thank you for that.

His issue is that he is waiting for an apology, on FFL for unjustly being
called a "racist".  Now as for your or anyone else's opinions, it's pretty
evident here on FFL that opinions are like assholes.  Everybody's got one
and so many here on FFL are assholes.  And that includes Edward, Barry and
Mareck.  I note that Barry's posts are full of bravado but you can
definitely detect the fear underlying his false bravado.

Notice how Barry takes it upon himself, pig that he is all of the time here
on FFL, to take on the role of Miss Manners, as a holier than thou judge for
FFL to take people to task and show everybody how much more superior he is.
He ain't.  Why would someone be so obsessed with this group. from Usenet to

This is what my Brazilian wife who specializes in Brazilian family law has 
written in response:


You said: "In the past if you own a company you could file your company tax 
info and the personal would be covered in the company info." 
 
Best stated my accountants took care of these things so I did not.   As an 
american with a company in Brazil and without permanent visa I declared 
exemption but could not declare exemption after 2004 but my accountants did the 
filings.   

In 2007 I believe the tax I am referring to is called cmpf a tax of 1% charged 
on movement of funds in banking accounts.   Before they took this tax away you 
had to go to RF pay a fine of 4.50 R$ and then they would regulariza your cpf 
and there was no problem.   In 2007 they not only charged the 4.50 but they 
also charged a fine to business owners who did not declare personal income of 
160 Reais per year.   The point is that we could not receive money in our 
names.  
 
That statement is not true. You always had to and still do have to file two 
income tax reports, one for the company and your own personal one because they 
are different entities, the company [pessoa juridica] and you [pessoa fisica]. 
 
I think the key word here is multa.   

The company has to declare its accounts and you have to declare your own 
personal financial earnings that you got from the company. The company has a 
tax number and you have a CPF. Those are two different numbers and require two 
separate filings.


You said: "BRAZIL LAW REGARDING CUSTODY... In the majority of the cases 9 out 
of 10 the children stay with the mother."

Again, not true. The Brazilian law of custody is ruled by the Civil Code. The 
principal rule says the judge has to decide these
kinds of issues in the best interests of the children. 
 
One is theoretical and the other is practical.  I am speaking of the what 
happens not what is in theory.   I have conversed with various lawyers here and 
all have said the same as I have stated.   If you think you can make positive 
strides in changing the practice in Sorocaba family law then PLEASE I am open 
to hear you perspective.   I believe there should be room for change.

Fathers can keep the children if they prove the mother is immoral in front of 
the child or anything that can jeopardize the welfare of the child. 
Well imagine that you understand theory but practice may be totally different.
Also what is considered jeopardy may be totally different depending on the 
judge..
>From my point of view being near his grandmother might be considered jeopardy, 
>but tell that to a judge.  I may believe forcing an american child to live in 
>Brasil is incorrect but that is my viewpoint...

Brazilian law also allows the mother and the father to have dual  custody of 
the child or single custody with visitation rights.
Well here you are also correct but what I have as a problem is that my income 
has been blocked, so without conditions they say they will not doEven 
though I can show more than 500K Reais spent in taking care of my family from 
2004 to 2008.

You said: "Even if the mother is involved in prostitution which is legal in 
Brazil, in anything that does not present physical harm to the child."

Prostitution is NOT legal in Brazil.
Theory and Practice...Prostitution is a very large industry in Brasil.  A large 
portion of Brazilian tourism is based on Prostitution.   They do not arrest a 
woman for prostitution in Brasil.  They may arrest someone who is pimping but 
rarely do they arrest a woman for prostituion

But on a.m.t he described the block he lived on, described Carnival, told
about the plight of the homeless in his neighborhood.  I remember his
describing the poor schizophrenic homeless lad.  And to think all along the
schizophrenic was John Manning.

How does he spoof the Brazilian IP address?  Does he spoof all his post
headers, telnet into a Brazilian box or actually have an account with
veloxzone.com.br?

How is it y'all found out about his spoofing?  Was it as simple as his

> I took a hotel room.   Since that day the strangeness just got stranger
and stranger until today, I am an american with a brazilian born child who
is bound by brazilian law which says that no matter how bad the living
situation is the child belongs with the mother.

> The law says that even no matter what if the mother or father does not
sign an agreement to allow it is not possible to leave the country with the
child.  So in order for me to come back to the US and get a job I would have
to abandon my child.   I have refused to do so.  I have had things happen
like hotels asking ne to leave after paying 11,000 reais = 5000 usd while
trying to arrange a new credit card.   The person who was willing to assist
me was hit by a truck returning home to send the card info.

crisis and other things my funds have been severly delayed.   I am now in a
situation where I live in a garage.   Share a very small space with a nother
guy, I sleep on the floor.   Seems I have been unaable to recieve even 10
cents from the US lately.

personal situations but all I can say is that the guy who was on television
regarding his 4 year old son I know that story because I am living it.   I
NEED HELP..
