Many boys will tell you they are over 30. Some do not care. But, when you list ages, you go with what they tell you. I knew a guy once who ran a great escort agency in NYC who dedicated his life to twinks and some of his guys stayed 19 for several years.

There was no option for equality and prosperity. The options were corruption and incompetence with the Olympic stimulus and corruption and incompetence without it. The Olympics didn't drive down the price of oil or drive up the value of the dollar.

The Olympics are already a success for Rio. Were it not for Olympics preparations, the unemployment rate would be easily 30% higher, with all the social disruption that comes with it. I'm sure that the games themselves will come off, at least, acceptably. The army will round up the usual suspects before the games and pack the tourist areas with soldiers. A few dumb tourists will get mugged. A few local Black teenagers will be killed by over zealous military police. But, both those things happen all the time. In short, the games will be a success for Rio.

This is the man to whom I alluded in my earlier post. I did not include the specifics. Thanks, SolaceSoul.

I think the biggest issue will be the distance from Copa/Ipanema to where the Olympic Village is....and the ease of getting there...On my last trip, I visited the stadium that is all new for the Olympics and saw the brand new apartments...its at least 40 minute away from Rio by car....I went on a Saturday with no traffic and it was still a long way with everything in the area being new....the issue will be when people get out to that area, it will be hard as hell to get back to the city to party and do other things... I think the powers that be are hoping that people will just stay out where the majority of the events are happening versus wanting to go to Rio....the South Zone... I told my friend who lives there the comparison is like Atlanta hosting the Olympics but all the events being in Alpharetta or Macon....considered part of the metro area but because of all the increased traffic...it would not make sense to drive back and forth.... They are also working on some train/metro situations to ease the traffic... As far as other things that were an issue, they are being addressed.... My friend was adamant in saying that Brazil...Rio has something they want to prove so they are going all out to avoid any major issues with the contestants or the tourists that come for the Olympics
