These pics are from the Chinese website and I repost them. I didn't say all pictures show poverty, but those who were scooping leaking gas while the cops were trying to dag them away from the scene were definitely not RICH. They scavenge the leftover not because they want to but because they have to. A few galloons means alot to those who have to work in sweat shops with meager monthly pay. BTW, I'm now in China and I see things like that everyday. I don't like it and I don't think they like that kind of way of life.

I saw plenty of pictures of people taking beer after Katrina. What is your point?

Oh please. You know very well that those working in 'sweat shops' make more than they would be making at other jobs. If they don't like it, they do not have to work there. They are there by choice. No different than anywhere else in the world.

I don't like it and I don't think they like that kind of way of life.

I see it every day also but like them, I accept that it is a part of life. It is not my job to change the world. The faster you realize that, the sooner you will enjoy your time in Asia.
