    “3rd world country” just means that the country wasn’t aligned with either USA or USSR during cold war. Don’t use it when you mean poor or developing countries.

    Doing that can range from just incorrect to even insulting to some people

        Kinda, but I don’t hate Us anymore as I did in my commie years. Hate Russia and China much more.

        Still I think your country is deeply undeveloped when thinking at paid vacations, free healthcare, free schools and so on.
