what would have happened if your quest to get out of poverty landed you in a foreign country illegally, with no passport and a debt of 10,000-20,000 USD owed to the people who shipped you there (the ones forcing you to work in the sex trade, holding on to your passport, and threatening to physically harm you or members of your family back home should you decide to tell anyone about your predicament)?
with all due respect to whatever hardships you overcame to get where you are, if you "chose" to get out of poverty, then you have not come close to dealing with the kind of sh!t that many people deal with every day.
your comments are insulting to those whose suffering and misery can not be undone by simply chosing to make a change in lifestyle. you should take a look at oxfam.com or other such sites to learn a little more about what constitutes reality for many people.
