Odd there is little.... or nada comment on this thread :-) It's no more than ya would expect.

There are two kinds of people on this planet - the "people" and the "non people" and the name of the game is keep it that way, at least on the part of the "people".

The irony is you can meet some of these folks and they are just so damned generous and hospitable considering the little they have. There are also customs, which, when you look hard at them, they are far more "civilised" than some "civilised countries".

Who knows, but most of this planet have no clue of the other half - they have never visited their homes, shared a family meal or made friends with the "non people" - they are just there as a tourist feature and their countries summed up simply as being "shit countries".

Yea agree - fat-assed Joe who knows nothing of em and contents himself consuming as much shit food possible, has much to be thankful for. Or does he?
