That's a bit harsh, you know... I don't have so much idle time
in my hands (though I'd use it for conlanging if I had it),
and I'm certainly not rich.

And yes, we're mostly Westerners, but the West is not a
solid block of beliefs and views. Plus each of us is unique...
influenced by the culture around and inside us, granted,
but it's almost our duty to be deviant from it. :)
