Well, let's see - no, no and... uhm... no.

That's nice - tell that to the ~800 million of people around the world currently starving, and the further billions barely scraping by, below the poverty line - with no "joy", or "goodness", you sanctimonious, condescending c*ck...

The only good thing about being poor is that it might motivate you to try and stop being f*cking poor... Tongue
