[edit] Mercenary
It's known that this guy kill around 3.000 indigenan in Litoral of Brazil when arrived. He is a killer and turned as hero in Portugal. Since Cabral arrived here we Brazilians are killed by Portuguese culture of exploration and denegration.
- The typical Brazilian speech: "It's Cabral's fault". Come on, you achieved independence 200 years ago, stop blaming the Portuguese. Afonso Silva 09:42, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
- On a more sober note, I feel we might tone down the repeated "discovery" talk of places where people had been living for thousands of years. --Wetman 01:25, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
I agree with you Afonso Silva. I mean, come on!!!!!!!!! Brazil has independence for about 200 years now and they´re still saying that its Cabral´s or the Portuguese fault??!! For God sake, do something with your country and stop blaming others! When Portugal achieved independency (and we did it by our hands, we didn´t need a king from other country to say it for us) did the Portuguese cry for 200 years saying that the Castilians or Moors had ruin their country? NO!!! We transformed it in the biggest discoverer of its times (maybe of all times!). You have a great sunny country, and you say you are a happy people, what more do you whant? Your country is huge (thanks to us). The spanish conquistadores didn´t dezimated your tribes (because we, not them, colonized you, and we were much nicer that the spanish conquistadores. Just ask to the Aztecs, Incas, Maias...ho wait, you can´t, they were dezimated. Too bad, now you can´t see how the spanish were much nicer than the portuguese, as some brazilians think. Now seriously, I really think its a shame what happent to those tribes, and i´m just using Spain has an exemple, I like Spain, great country.). So stop blaming us, and do something for your country. I´m sure that he deserves that you do something for him.
- The portuguese gave you the fifth biggest country in the world. Half of South America. What are you personally doing to improve the unjust society you are living on? The uncapacity shown in every leader you had until today? Are you going to blame the portuguese for the lack of proper and decent gorvernment you have been having for the last two centuries (200 years it´s a long time!)? What Brasil needs is to organize themselves and work seriously. Stop the street crime and abductions. Stop hunger, lack of education, unemployment and death at birth. Create a just society and be productive. You can't carry on being the country of the three S: Sex, Samba and Soccer. It´s easy to blame the others while sitting and doing absolutely nothing to improve your quality of life.
"It's known that this guy kill around 3.000 indigenan in Litoral of Brazil when arrived. He is a killer and turned as hero in Portugal. Since Cabral arrived here we Brazilians are killed by Portuguese culture of exploration and denegration."
All this is no more than a hilarious lie. There is no such evidence at all. Cabral and his crew didn't kill any native Indians when they spent a week at Porto Seguro. It is true that Portuguese colonists later killed many Indians, but not Cabral. People who make such ignorant statements besmirch the reputation of Wikipedia. The person who wrote that should be barred from further postings. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.9.30.236 (talk • contribs) 18:07, 13 March 2007 (UTC).
