A spouse can see things from an outside perspective. If your spouse thinks it's a bad idea, then maybe it really is a bad idea.

India is not particularly well off. It has a higher poverty rate than Africa, for example.

I get the joke. But it's not funny. I've read the same joke about 1000 times on various forums. It's just a somewhat mean statement with no humour at all.

It's about as funny as a joke about how Americans will invade your country, or italians will murder your cousin.
Pointless jokes about silly stereotypes do not belong on forums where people try to discuss reasonably about things.

25 million pretty normal people would not find your statement very nice. The U.S sends a lot of Viagra spam - but that does not mean that all the internet users are sending viagra spam.
Spam reaches a lot of people, because that's its intent. Extrapolating from spam is silly.

There are about 20 or 30 websites blocked in china. Not that many.

Break out of the system you are in. Get yourself into dangerous situations.

When I had no money, I'd get even $20 software off there. Now I buy $20 software, but I get $900 software off there. In the future perhaps, I'll buy $900 software.

Thank goodness we live in the now. Imagine all you want to do is study mathematics, and people are constantly pushing you here and there because of the color of your skin.
Equality really is a great thing.

rsync is a command line tool and you need to enter the username and password everytime.

Use thepiratebay. But you probably already do. Set deadlines! People don't work well without deadlines.

It's not high enough, change it to 930th and it would be an obvious exaggeration.

Seriously? You've failed 92 times? If so, perhaps you should try something else?

Getting the html/php code from my offline development tool into the server in an easy manner. I don't want to develop on the server, but I want to update only those files I changed.
In an easy manner, not with post commit scripts or so.
