    Portugal

    I certainly never construed anything 'rude' in your comments, João - quite the contrary. This lampooning of Portugal and her people is ill-founded and clearly the mischievous ramblings of a malcontent. It is highly unlikely that any of these detrimental comments towards Portugal are founded on any sociological evaluation. Were they to be so, then the findings would show the Portuguese struggling for survival in a country which most her own politicians abuse. The Portuguese have heard many 'fine' speeches concerning the welfare of Portugal and are constantly betrayed by their government and the candidates of the government. The people are merely there to pay taxes and should they wish any individual assistance for their own individual welfare, they are beset by the most horrendous of bureaucracy which complicates their lives even further.
    On the whole, the Portuguese warrant a great deal of admiration for their tenacity to endure needlessly imposed hardships AND continuing to maintain their dignity, their humour and their overwhelming hospitality to we immigrants who live within her country.

    Finally, this is a country which still maintains a low level of violence. The individual Portuguese character (and personality) is not one which promotes violence.
