India claims it has the biggest middle class, yet youd find if u came here, this so called middle class is poor. You dont even understand what the meaning of poor is and poverty lines. its all facts and figures to you. i bet youve barely left texas. maybe mexico a couple times, who knows, but i guarantee you, the poverty i have seen in asia would far suprass anything you could believe. And also, on a side note, you really think that figure means anything? statistics like that are altered and tweaked all the time, i mean shit, the chinese government isnt exactly liberal in our sense of the word. please. travel, see the world, then talk to me, i have no time for the culturally uneducated.

Sorry bud, I've traveled abroad through Europe, Asia, and Central America. So I have a pretty good idea of what poverty looks like. There you go, making baseless assumptions yet again. Maybe next time you won't jump to conclusions about irrelevant information, and assume you're so much more well traveled or have a better understanding of what poverty is than most people.

But, I'm not expecting great leaps of intellectual prowess from you.

Then you are fucking retarded if you think the majority (50%+) asians can afford a camera.

Like honestly, you've traveled and you still cant wrap your head around this concept!




I have also yet to see a "great leap of intellectual prowess" from the likes of you either. Have fun in your happy little "all asians could have cameras" world.

But its 2:20 Am here and i have to be up in three hours. Im sorry we didnt see eye to eye on this. ill go ask some poor people tomorrow if they can afford a camera or if they wasted all their money on dinner.

I don't think all Asians can afford cameras, you're pulling that out of your ass. Go back and read over what I've written, but so far it seems you can't do simple reading comprehension. So I'll expect you to be dancing around making outrageous claims some more.

I'll be dancing, but no outrageous claims here.

In fact i agree with you, its Kamil that i dont agree with. i just dont agree with the statistic about china and i want to know what they base their povertly level on.



I admit I'm wrong, srsly.

I just spend so much time around the poor here, that i get very passionate about this subject. and i apologize for judging you. im used to dealing with very ignorant people.

If the internet was better suited towards expression of emotion rather than just plain words youd see that i really mean my apology. Unfortunately, Internet and inflection haven't met yet.

Apology accepted, we can be CORe friends again.

Yeah each nation designates its own "poverty" level, but I'm pretty sure there is a universal bar thats set. Based on if the people of that region can afford the basic necessities or something similar.

Societal standards are different everywhere, but basic necessities always remain the same. Food, shelter, clothing, education, medical, and security.

I just think the definiton of a countries povertly line, and being "poor" is a very different thing.
