poor people but not a poor country

If you have a mentality for exploitation then it makes sense to exploit or rip off from the biggest resource you can. People rob banks rather than individuals because there is a bigger resource pool in the bank. So if you build up the base from which you are going to exploit and rip off, it makes sense that you are going to have a bigger rip off pool. If as most people here are poor, then your pickings are going to be poor. You might rip off a bag of kaukau or buai. But if you built up their skills through education which is what I want to do, then a country full of skilled people is going to provide your selfish greedy mentality with more. That's what makes my country better than yours and that's why you are envious of my country - the people are educated. People like my boss need to get their minds above the lustful experience of the short term orgasm and start wining and dining the people because it is the only infinite resource. My boss is a wanker because he wants immediate relief for himself and bugger the more pleasurable experience of prolonged foreplay which brings pleasure to the uneducated people too.
