	yes/no questions. Was there a time you did not even have a TV in the house? Was there a time when the only TV you had was a black and white? Was there a time you only had one TV? Was there a time you only had one car? Was there a time you had to share a bedroom with a sibling? Did many meals consist of Spam? Did you eat salmon cakes made from canned Pink Salmon? Were there times you only had one pair of shoes? Did you roam the neighborhood with your family lawn mower looking for lawns to mow for money? Did you survive all of your childhood and not once ever eat at a fast food joint? Would you see/hear commercials for fast food places and wonder what the food was like? I can answer 'yes' to all of these. -----signature----- pkhere: Jebus sometimes you make my arse tired. Referring to illegal aliens as 'immigrants' is the same as referring to shoplifters as 'shoppers' - Dorvinion I'd feel bad for Satriani but he got himself into it. - allmightybob_MLF

	Reapist posted: levgre posted: lots of these are culture/age dependent, not wealth dependent. We hear you talking little rich boy. I didn't use a lawnmower, I walked around collecting cans and got a paper route. My mom didn't buy red meat, nor canned salmon, although I ate lots of rice/lentils and other really cheap food. I didn't have my own bedroom until college. One of the doors on the car wouldn't open. etc. So no... we were below the poverty level. -----signature----- <(o.O)> <(o.O< (>o.O)> (>o.O<<(''< <( ' ' )> (>''>
