As a brazilian, I second you. The laws this judge is applying are the same that, in past elections, prohibited comedians to make jokes about candidates. It's just plain stupid censorship.

Social security in Brazil was not privatized... Maybe you're talking about Chile? Not that we here in Brazil did not ended up with an entire generation living "on the streets" and a handful of super-enriched bankers...

This doesn't sound like a problem to me... On Windows you can just use MS .NET implementation to run your applications.

Same thing happening here in Brazil. The worst is that our beloved president publicly criticized Assange's arrest while our government was trying to regulate the internet. It really makes me sick.

Sure, it means you can't *know* whether there is God or not. And, as I said before, this has nothing to do with *believing*.

That's not what "agnostic" means... It has nothing to do with believing or not in God.

You do know that violence increased dramatically in his presidency, right?

Democracy is so much more than just elections...

Here in Brazil you can do this. There is a "blank" button, wich means the same as putting an empty ballot, and you can always type an invalid number. In this case, the machine will warn you that the number doesn't exist in the candidate list. But if you confirm that, it will cast your vote as invalid.
But in the end, mandatory voting is just stupid.
