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.

The president of Nigeria already has 126k fans on facebook http://www.facebook.com/jonathangoodluck and 1700 comments for each of his daily posts.

That's impressive considering that his account is just a couple of months old.

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.
