Damn, thats a mighty tiny wage for a month. I spend that on soda's and munchies a couple times a week. Typical people in wealthier countries should have no use for self pity considering the what if's.

Jesus.... But you can live on that right? It's somewhat like a minimum wage?

If I can to India with 500 USD, what could I do?

This is why it bugs me when you get all these kids, born into rich families, who cut themselves and stuff and become all suicidal. There is always a person worse off than them and they dont consider suicide or hurt themselves, they just get on with it and deal with the cards they have been dealt with.

I was watching Platoon the other night, and that made me feel really appreciative for the life I have been given, I am very lucky, I could easily have been born into a poor Vietnamese family or be born somewhere else that isn't as privileged as England and other MEDC's.

you pretty lucky if you are on a computor right now, also educated because you speak english while a lot of bangladeshis are illiterite. social life is not about being lucky, its about changing to better fit your social life.

I wouldnt trade my life for anyones. I get to visit weird and interesting places people and cultures. Jump out of aircraft with a reasonable degree of safety. Tell officers what i want them to do and fire shiat loads of ammunition that i dont have to pay for from weapons that i dont have to perform maintaince on. I wear a spiffy uniform. Get paid a pretty comfortable wage. Drive a nice car and have free health and dental. Sex life is active and i get PAID to get educated. How sweet is that?!
