    Take a trip to a really poor place in Africa where they don't have decent water, little food, poor sanitation, mud huts and are just about living on a day to day basis. Take it all in, how poor they are, then have a little think to yourself about how you compare. And when it sinks in, gloat & shout 'Ha! Look at my wad'.

    Why on earth would I want to go to Afrika or some other 3rd world country!

    They are all full of poor people who would rather spend money on weapons than in bettering themselves.

    I don't even like going to England
