I went to a taping of the Tonight Show about 15 years ago and Leno came out for the warm up (I was surprised he did it himself) and he was shit-your-pants hilarious. He was so quick and and funny that I could not believe that he was the same person that hosted such a craptastic show. At the end of the warm up he said "enjoy the show and please laugh during the monologue". The following hour was excruciating.

Keith, more than once you have yelled 'just leeeeave' at people who live in countries that you don't like. Have you ever tried emigrating somewhere? You can't just leave and move somewhere better at a whim. Most countries have very strict immigration control, and they particularly don't want Arabs or other darkies coming to their country.

If you are wealthy or well educated or have some useful skill that a country wants, then *maybe* they'll let you move there otherwise you're fucked - stuck in whatever godforsaken country you were born in.

I've thought about moving to the States or to the UK and it is not easy. I've been told the best legal way of getting to the States is through your annual Greencard lottery.

Then move illegally. These countries are so godawful that I truly believe you are a parent of the worst kind when you don't do whatever it takes to not raise a family there.

Or you could just come right out and say you want to lick my balls. We're all adults here except Bruno G.

Then you are just an illegal immigrant, destined to clean up other people's crap for the rest of your miserable life. That doesn't sound any better than staying home.

Face it Keith, these people are fucked either way, there is no way out for them.

Then give up? And have kids that have no choice but to give up too?

I guess so. My kid has already given up. He moved to the country, got hitched, and had a kid.

But there is a lot to be said for people who know their lives are going to be a hard slog and still move so that their children can do better than they did. Indentured servitude was hardly a peachy proposition back in the colonial era, but it worked. Maybe it's time to revive the concept.

People don't necessarily have to move to America. They could educate themselves and move to a more immigrant friendly country, like New Zealand. You may prefer America, but for people in abject poverty, indentured servitude anywhere in the first world is preferable to a shitty horrible life in the third. Your children are fine, well preserved individuals, they have the same chances at heath and happiness that you have, and you've done very well for yourself.

Keith may think that any other country but America is shit, but for a person who sees no future for themselves in their country, any first world country is better.

Better than dying prematurely.
