O que você considera « ofensivo »? — Barbara Crane Navarro

Garimpeiros dig everywhere like wild pigs. The rivers in the forest will soon be nothing more than muddy backwaters filled with mud, motor oil and garbage.
« Os garimpeiros cavam em todos os lugares como porcos selvagens. Os rios da floresta logo serão nada mais do que remansos lamacentos cheios de lama, óleo de motor e lixo. Eles também lavam o pó de ouro em rios, misturando-o com o mercúrio. Todas essas coisas sujas e perigosas tornam as águas doentes e a […]

Texas state Rep. Gary Gates fled to Florida amid winter storm

Republican State Rep. Gary Gates is under fire after he flew his private jet to Orlando, Florida, Wednesday as his constituents in Fort Bend County struggled without water and power, the Houston Chronicle reported.

U-Roy was born in Kingston…
