There's a soap/soup opera in Brazil that talks about UNITED STATES, how bad the people are, and it shows fucking BRAZILIANS and MEXICANS trying to come into UNITED STATES ilegally.... but the thing is
It's being spoken that when a person becomes 18, this one has to leave the house and try to live alone, work
If it is...
THANKS GOD for me not to be an American
I will live with my parents till I find a good job, a good money and a good woman..
The sister of my mother ( I don't know if it s Uncle, Aunt or something ) is 38 and still lives with my grandmother
And it's also true that we can't face someone in UNITED STATES because the faced one calls the police?

Unfortunately for you, Afterglow has broken no rules. It's just difficult to understand what he is saying. This may be about the same soap he started a thread about earlier, but this time, he's talking about some other aspect of it, so it's not really a dupe.

Some parents do kick their kids out of the house when they turn 18. Others don't. I'm 18 and I'm still living with my parents. If I weren't going away to college, I'd probably live with them a few more years until I could get out on my own.
The sister of my mother ( I don't know if it s Uncle, Aunt or something ) is 38 and still lives with my grandmother
It is aunt. And sorry. That is pathetic.

Some people will call the cops or Immigration on people that are in the country illegally. If you are a legal resident, what are the cops gonna do?

It all depends. I'm 19 and i still live at home. I live away at college during the school year (which is over 2/3's of the year) but my main home is still with my parents. I'm sure as long as I need to I can live here. All of my friends' parents are the same way. I know many people over 18 who still live at home! A lot of times it's because they're still in college or just starting a job, so their parents give them time to live at home and get up on their feet. My uncle who is in his 40's lives with my grandparents... but that's sad.
Sometimes kids do get kicked out when their 18, but atleast that i've seen, that's rare! My brother got kicked out when he was 19 but that was for other reasons. I also know kids who move out when they're 16 or 17 for various reasons, but in all cases I know it's by their choice.
So no... It's not common in America for parents to kick their kids out as soon as they turn 18! That's just plain silly!

I thik it's pretty sad
I'm 21 and i live with mine...
I couldnt afford to live on my own anyway. like this my parents are letting me save up so i can have a better start.
okay well actually portuguese parents keep us in until were married :D
-
Hm, I think this soap opera is saying shits....
And about TO FACE.. I mean
If I say to a woman that I don't even know
" You are so beautiful "
This girl can call the police
Because, it was showing it in the soap opera, the man said to a woman
" Hm, can I meet you better? Or may we go out? "
The girl called the police...
And, I saw that AMERICANS earn money everyday, it's not by month...
Because there's a woman that is working as maid, and she earns everyday

Yeah, my english teacher is from UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, and he lives here because he fell in love with a Brazilian...
So, he's so surprised how we brazilian are, we rarely get hate for someone,
He says that we're so lovely, not cold blooded as the americans are....
And etc.. he loves Brazil and don't ever want to be back to his country
He's a such dumb, if I was him, I would be in London or Australia, maybe in GERMANY...

Most American's don't get paid daily. What you're seeing is day labor. Most day labor is under the table. It's common to hire illegals or minors and just pay them cash instead of trying to deal with the legal mess of income taxes and all.

Its funny because i have no issues with cold blooded americans. People in general are pretty nice to me. The only time i feel like im being treated unfairly is when i find crap from foreigners acting like the usa is the pits of hell. Ignorance must be grand

Do you mean that is pathetic that she still lives with her grandmother? Because that is purely an interpretation from an individualist country that places emphasis on Locke's 'life, liberty and property' - in a collectivist culture that may be perfectly acceptable, the woman may care for her grandmother and enhance the values of family.
I'm not at all saying Afterglow isn't full of crap, but the interpretation that living with your parents/extended family is weak and pathetic only works in a meritocratic individualist society.

I think the assumed interpretation is that this person lives with his/her grandparents because he/she can't live alone for some reason.
My friend Demitrius lives with his mom because HE supports HER and he's 31.
There is nothing sad about that.

Yeah, my english teacher is from UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

I do not give a damn for my money.....
And like my teachers, they're funny
I still need to finish levels 8 and 9, so i'll be free...

It's common for Americans to leave home at 18 because a lot of people leave for college at that age; you're usually not "kicked out"
I'm sure you could find cold heartless people in Brazil too; they're not just in America.
Language teachers always compliment the country of the language they teach. I can't tell you how many French teachers I've had who insult America/Americans everyday, comparing them to the French.
Don't be so narrow minded. Talk to Americans; even go to America and judge for yourself. Not everything you see on TV is true.

I will never leave home with 18 years, I'll be too young yet... I have to finish school and university, and get a girlfriend, so to marry....

Afterglow has a point though. Some Americans ARE anusholes. But some are pretty cool. I bet it's the same in Brazilia (I like calling it that). Oh, and I just figured out Afterglow was a guy. Whoops...and what soap/soup opera is this?

THAT'S UNFUCKING HEARD OF!
I'm truly shocked.

Soap opera is kind of a novel.....
Hmm.... it's like " FRIENDS ", but soap operas last about 7 months or more, and they last about 1 hour everyday but Sunday
And the new soap opera in Brazil is called " AMERICA ", it talks about Brazilians trying to go to USA to get a new good life, and SOL, a woman in the soap opera got to get to USA ilegally and she's working hard to get money..
So, it always talks about American life, that people can't face the other one, that people over 18, they have to leave home and live on their own.
That American are bad with ilegally people... and etc.. it's a nice soap opera

I think everyone here knows what soap operas are. But the main difference between Brasilian soaps and American soaps are that Brasilian soaps are more like prime time TV, and they generally don't run very long (Usually a year or so). American soaps are generally run during the daytime... The audience is totally different. American soaps can last a really long time (some have been going on for 20+ yrs methinks).
And anyways Murillo, just because that show has people moving out at 18 and living on their own, it doesn't mean *everyone* in the US does that. Some do, some don't.

Wow.. 20 years?
Yeah, I think this soap opera is lying too much.... but it's nice to see the Miami city, New York........

I dont like illegal foreigners either. They cost us tax money and jobs. I dont see any reason that would be wrong.
Otherwise i love foreigners. Its always interesting and fun to discuss culture.

Now in the soap opera, Sol is gonna buy a wedding with an American to get a GREENCARD...
