I don't want to start a "pissing contest" whatever that is, but I am saying exactly what I wrote. Where in my brief comments do you see my view that Europe is so great as compared to S. America? Funny thing is, you still continue to put words into my mouth.

The only S.American city close in contention near the end was Rio, and it didn't pass because of infrastructure, just like Paris and Madrid were ranked high because of their infrastructure, of course, along with gov. and pop. support. I am only stating what happened. Now, from there, where do you get "my image" of S. America? FYI I don't consider S. America full of third world countries. Argentina and Brazil have gone through some major turbulence, that's all.

I am only countering your claim that Brazil has higher potential (Which you still haven't defined nor proven). Although Brazil is getting better, it is still not as stable as Greece.

While we're at it, why don't we mention the hyperinflation that took place in Brazil in the 90s and their still high inflation rate of 8.3%? Do you really want to get into economics? Isn't it clear to even you which country is more stable? Why did you bring Greece into it anyway, I never even mentioned them. Though it would help your argument, huh? We should be talking about France, Spain, UK, US and Russia since they're in the running.

Jesus christ, where did I say that!? I've been to Portugal, I know how it is there don't worry. Hmmm... but if I had to say it now, I believe the UK, France and Spain are in better shape than Brazil. Anyway, read any recent article about the IOC voting and they'll point out that they like how Paris is able to handle large events (i.e. infrastructure) so maybe you should start arguing with them. I can care less in the end.
Like I said, no "pissing contest" intended, but I hate having (a lot of) false words put into my mouth and then being argued against. It's a big waste of time for me to set things straight. I don't even know why I bother...
