Joe Bobโ€™s Thought of the Day: Worldly Edition

It's time to retire the term "Third World." Nobody using it has read the original Alfred Sauvy article and so it's just used as a putdown. If you happen to be living in Chad, or Sri Lanka, or Uruguay, your surroundings are the First World and the Only World.

Hi Joe Bob As a very Proud Uruguayan/Aussie. Thank You from the bottom of my Heart. You will Always be my Hero. Stay Cool & Ciao.

The biggest disappointment is that this is the only world. I always wanted one with dragons and spaceships.

Same! JB always teaching us stuff! ๐Ÿ˜‹

Thanks for the education. Just googled that fucker! Now I understand that โ€œthird worldโ€ countries were originally defined as those not aligned with either NATO or the Soviet Union. The way Iโ€™ve always heard the term used led me to believe it referred to a nationโ€™s level of economic, industrial, or technological development.

A man walks down the street, It's a street in a strange world. Maybe it's the third world. Maybe it's his first time around.

He wise .. !

I just wanna know if one day they'll adopt that name for the civilization living under ground. Not C.H.U.D, the people Admiral Richard Byrd wrote about.
