    So
    if you earn USD8000 per year in a developing country you are rich
    if you earn USD8000 per year in a developed country you live in poverty

    Are you suggesting there are NOT lots of people living in poverty in the USA because they earn more than someone in Loas?
    Yes, well said except I don't know what Loas is. You mean Laos?

    No. I don't care nor compare poverty levels based on how many paper dollars one earns per year. That is what I was eluding to in my initial post. I think poverty should be measured by housing, food, water, education, healthcare standards.

    Next time you get your mate on the phone ask him if he knows where England is. I would hasard a guess that he would not have a clue.
