It's a very sad thing that only two or three people discussing this situation even though there are a whole lot who feels the same way as pire or Imi do. Pire, last year same thing happened to me. i got a call from ktm n then i found out that my mom had died. It was all of a sudden. My dad doesn't want me to go back but i am going back 'cause i dont' want to leave my dad alone. who knows i might not see him again if i decide to stay any longer. Sacrifice, yap somebody has to do it. well why not me;)... been here long enough and done this n dat. Pire you are right, we can make a different there. I will be one in thousand there where as in The US i will be one in millions. I would rather have that life there. Lets join hand in hand n try to make a difference so that next generation won't blame the corrupt politicians, like we do. Things will change eventually. We are in between two power houses. they have to change us for good for them to get better. after all we got some natural resources. If you dont' believe urself then what can i say. I might be corrupt but i might take less money to do things. that's a positive way to look at it Imi;)... doesn't mean that i will be corrupt:D. I don't have to go there to be in politics or to work for government. lots of ppl die in accidents here too. 50 years ago ppl had difficulty in this country too. doesn't mean that our country can't take a step forward. lets be us to make a difference. lets try something.
