This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

US is the richest 3rd world country.

"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

I think he just wants to be insulting.

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.
