     @WhitestTemplar @homesteader_surfer The way to make a country better starts with not stealing from your neighbors.
     
     They're unable to make their own countries better.

     @NoDoxGregBrady @WhitestTemplar @homesteader_surfer Remember that psychological test where they put a marshmallow in front of a small child. Then the adult tells them they are going to leave the room for a while, and if they can not touch the marshmallow until they come back, the kid will get even more marshmallows. The kids that snatch up and eat the marshmallow when the adult leaves tended to have a less well off life as they grew into adulthood than the kid that resisted temptation. Things like lower lifetime earnings, higher likelihood to become addicted and end up in jail, broken marriages and illegitimate kids, shorter life span, etc.
     
     India, Africa, and the rest of the 3rd world are entire ethnicities who fail the marshmallow test.

     @homesteader_surfer How about they make their own countries better? If they are truly our equals then they should be able to do that.
