President Obama's Nowruz message to Iranian people

[Seshmeister]

The only people that live in Scotland in what could be described as being poverty in my opinion are those with chronic self inflicted drug problems.

People can be technically living in poverty with a car, a couple of TVs and a PC since it is just based on a percentage of average income. To me that's not poverty. Everyone gets somewhere to live, food etc and free medical care. The worst off are asylum seekers but they are still given much more than someone in rural India could dream of getting through work.

Not everyone can afford cars though. There's people on the streets too even if it's far less than a poor nation. I've seen people with pc's but their flat was literally crumbling into pieces.

Yeah but the Scots thing is just people getting fed up with the rain and when the rest of the world turns into a desert in 30 years it's going to be a busy place.

Appalachia isn't exactly the Bahamas, Shesh!



I'm gonna tease you about that forever!

[hideyoursheep]

Because it's a poor country and will be for a long time to come if not forever. But that doesn't mean a poor country is third world in every aspect.

The second largest population on the planet has no excuse for status quo. Their own old world beliefs are holding them back.

Most Indians nowadays are assholes. I'm one of the few good ones.

Uh..

[Andy Taylor]

Well I'd say India's problems are almost entirely it's own.
