Answer 1

Your asking that question to us here in the usa, were spoiled, we take to much for granted WHAT WE HAVE...Try asking that to the people that have to live like that and cant find a way out.. Theres alot of places just like that in this world. I"VE seen some over the years and my friend right here in the usa..I go along with others I'de move, if I could? My wife asked me what I'de do if I ever hit the big lottery, ANS try my best to help out, I hate seeing things like that...Sounds like you care if Im reading all you said right, sounds like you've seen it??? VERY GOOD QUESTION THANKS. LOL ROB by the way the place I seen didnt have internet because there was no elect..

Answer 2

If I'm there I most definitely am one of the poorest in that very poor country. What can I do? I think I should be lucky that we have electricity (and for that matter, what would I need electricity for?). Mosquitos are easy to bear with, the same with flies, as time goes on, I know because I've lived in a place like that for a couple of years. Yellow colored water should be fine, because at least I still have water. Damaged roads should not bother me either because since I am poor, I have no means of affordable transportation but my feet. Moreover, I would not bother with the internet because I can not even get a clean glass of water.

So yeah, I'd still be fine with that condition, It may take some time for me to get used to it, but I am pretty sure I will be fine.

Answer 3

Well, it seems like internet is only $1/hour, but you can only use it for 2 hours... (4 if you have a laptop with a good battery)... For the money you spend in coffee every week, you can move to a different city in Africa and have electricity for 5 hours per day. Are you trying to be the featured question?

Answer 4

Except from the electricity and the drinking water, I'm at home! I live in Romania, and if I go in some parts of my country, I can even find those missing ingredients: the electricity and the drinking water which are scarce. So I can say that it's possible to live in such a place, so do millions of poor people in my country and they do it because they can't imagine anything else. It's sad for me to see how big cities, like the one I live in, are almost at a western level and that entire regions of my country are so, so poor. I always hate it when I have to go through those areas, in my way to other parts of the country, but I can absolutely say it's possible to live in such conditions, even in 2006, and it can get much worse and people would still accept it and consider it their home.

Answer 5

a number of the vistas are fabulous, even when I've seen tthem returned and returned and yet returned. There are some places the place you will see that the two bridges, Alcatraz all lit up at nighttime, the hills around the Bay, the sea--all of the flaws i like. The redwood timber constantly motivate me, strolling for the time of the redwood woodland with all of the needles underfoot smelling so good. close to my artwork, there is Pier 7--i will walk out to it for the period of my lunch hour and get all cooled out and calm--adult adult males are fishing off the tip and the pelicans and gulls sit down around waiting for a snack--there's a walk on the Bay part ofo the homes alongside the Embarcadero it quite is calming for me, no longer crowded by way of fact maximum fo the vacationer do no longer know approximately it. and each from time to time the way the fog is creates marvelous easy beams, very virtually unnatural or supernatural. I used to love autumn and wintry climate in Napa Valley whilst my mum and dad lived tthere, used to love taking all of the canines out for walks for the time of the winery.

Answer 6

I think the point he is trying to make is that moving wouldn't be much of an option. If you were living in a place like that you'd be dirt poor without that option. Sad thing is that stuff like that really happens, NASA is sending up billions of dollars into space and there are little kids in Africa dying by the minute.

Answer 7

i know places where electricity has not yet reached. it will take another 10 years or so. forget internet.. people living there has not even seen a car/train .. no health care system ... but people have been living there happily for years ... it is really tough to draw a line of separation between needs and artificial needs .....i spent about six months in such places ... it was tough ..

Answer 8

I must try to to make that place for better living. It's better to clean that place coz it's our earth and according to me everywhere in this earth life exists then y not to turn it into a heaven then to leave it letting it to be a living hell

Answer 9

Hominids have been on this planet for millions of years. We (as a species) have figuratively crawled up out of the mud and evolved and perpetuated civilization.

Do your part as a member of our species...

Better yourself. Improve your situation. Work. Move..

Answer 10

I think a lot of people are stuck in these situations and they may not be able to move. The only hope is to pray.
