You guys have NO idea how things are in 3rd world nations... When I used to live in india - the kids who lived in the slums would go to work in a textile mill / construction site to bring home cents to their parents - who each have 15 kids and live off their early age earnings. kids go to work from the age of 3 (making matches @ their homes - yes that's dipping wooden sticks into magnesium phosphate) all the way to 15 / 16 working @ firework factories or other ****. these kids have almost no money of their own and resort to smoking beedis (thats tobacco rolled in a dry tobacco leaf) to keep themselves from getting hungry.

We in the US and the western world have no clue what is normal outside out scope - your concept of normal and their concept of normal are FAR apart. Folks there couldnt even stop to worry about how bad smoking is for young children - they have MUCH bigger issues to face every day. Ha ha - what we think of as a bad public bathroom would be akin to a mansion for them - you wanna see public bathrooms - just take a walk outside and you will find em all over the street. Its not that they go in front of others in the middle of the street cus they like it... they just have no other choice.

So - be thankful that you ended up here where you have luxuries such as your 370z / public health-care (hahah ok ok thats just too far) / and a decent standard of living.
