how about the person in a poor country who cant even feed his family properly?

in a poor country they smiling n laughing. plus poor ppl smile and laugh much more then rich ppl. my grand mum used to say this and am sure u know this aswell money doesnt buy u happiness

^^ I agree with your grandmum. I think smiling is a culture thing also.

yeh its culture thing aswell. cos if u crack a joke with someone from da west they wouldnt get it whereas if u cracked a joke with an arab he/she wouldnt get it. probably they will but some dont u know wot i mean :p

No no..what i mean is smiling per se is a culture thing not just cracking jokes. Definitely jokes varies from place to place, if you'll tell a joke that is arabic in origin, people from other parts of the world can understand it unless they know the arab cultures etc.

Anyone who curse asc or say anything against her, the bad luck goes back to them.

oh i thought u were talking about u know jokes and all. well i dont think its a culture thing i mean a smile comes from within u but u could be rite cos some ppl from parts of world are always sad n not smiling like if u look at them u ll think they grumpy or something.

by da way when did i curse u or say something against ya. i never said anything bad to u so y is ur bad luck following me where ever i go. is it cos of my smile

Not sure about that, I live in Chicago and people are very friendly here. I'm not originally from Chicago so when I first moved here, I made friends very quickly. People were always willing to stop and give you directions or help you if you looked lost or just talk to you while you are in line at the market. I'm sure there are some rude and unfriendly people but most of the time people are generally happy.

But thats just my experience.
