Have you ever flew First Class or Business Class on a commercial jet before?

It will until you actually see poverty.

No, actually I drove through Newark two days ago

HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH this comment explains a lot about you. NAIVE

And the last time you went to Newark?  It is about as impoverished as a place in America that you will find.  It hails in comparison even to Passaic and Paterson which are pretty horrendous.  I've also been to Harlem and other slums

Go to Detroit. That's about as bad as it gets.

I can't say I've been there, but I can imagine.  Newark is a slum though

I don't know what these people are talking about but they've obviously have never been to certain parts of Newark.

Which people?

Whoever believes Newark doesnt have poverty.

It doesn't. You don't know what poverty is.

Yea....you try going into Newark and say they have it good. Both the conditions that you must be thinking of and that I am thinking of are both unexcusable Don't give me this "you don't know real poverty" BS.

You obviously don't. Visit an actual slum, one where the buildings are made of cardboard and sheet metal, not just run down and neglected; one where there is no clean water; one where disease runs rampant; one where they can't count on drugs to at least bring some money into the slum. If Newark is anything like the bad parts of Baltimore, Philadelphia, or D.C., I can't imagine it being anywhere as hopeless as Bangkok or just about any major city in South Asia or Africa.

Poverty is poverty. Some live in extreme poverty, others do not. There really isn't an argument to this. There are plenty of places in America and other developed nations which contain poverty. I could give a sh**t about Bangkok.  It's degree of poverty doesnt take away others'.

Dude things that are taken for granted in Newark are not available in slums all over the world. At least 95% of the people in Newark have running water and access to a bathroom right? Yeah that is a luxury in slums all over the world. Again like I said Newark is a dangerous place but it is nowhere close to being the most impoverished place on earth.

I'm not making a case that it is one of the most impoverished places on earth. It has poverty. It meets its definition and any normal person would agree.

It's time we end all this, this is America, no one is poor or neglected bull. This is reality...granted it's not like those found in Africa or elsewhere, but it's still poverty.

opebo is referring to Asian airports, which so terribly destroy American airports it's not even funny.

That's mostly because we have older infrastructure because we developed faster. Unfortunately for our airports, we can't afford closing JFK so we can build high tech.

That he's rich and out of touch as his denying that newark/detroit are poor shows.

No he never said Newark/Detroit were not poor. He was saying that the poverty in Dhaka is way more intense than in American slums. I mean American slums actually have buildings, running water and toilets. Cannot say that about many slums around the world.

Not all of them do. Also, see below.

I don't want to read 3 pages of stuff. What are we talking about now?

How Newark, New Jersey isn't actually poor.

Well that's just one thing trying to find out if an area is poor by reading census statistics will not tell you. No one cares about Dhaka. Everyone is so rich and happy in America! The gold plated fountains of Newark run with Cristal and everyone drives there Bentley to their jobs at Goldman Sachs. Yes, while you prob can't find diversity in wealth in Dhaka, which is irrelevent, that does not mean Newark doesn't contain poverty. You should spend less time visiting dumps around the world, and try visiting downtrodden areas at home.
