probably the UK or Canada.

It seems like if you even think a conservative thought, much less speak it - they’ll arrest you or that’s where they are headed.

Ireland and Sweden maintained neutrality, but they weren't members of the Non-Aligned Movement. The Non-Aligned Movement has come to be synonymous with the Third World. No European country joined the Non-Aligned Movement during the Cold War.

I don't see how Argentina would be considered a third-world country.

Italy. I received a 500 Euro ticket in the mail from them and obviously did not pay. I may have a warrant out for my arrest over there, not sure how that works.

I was invited to a party where some members of the Swedish Royal Family and apparently some high ranking Norwegian officials were present. There was an open bar that I took full advantage of which led me to making a few to many questionable jokes that were full of sexual innuendo. Also at some point during the night I misplaced my pants and reportedly made direct eye contact with the queen while making a sexual gesture(I dispute this fact). The Swedes took it in stride, but the Norwegians were terribly offended

I wouldn’t go out of my way to visit Luxembourg. I’m sure it is a wonderful country but doesn’t seem worth a visit.

Don’t have a huge interest in Ireland, Austria, or South Korea, either, but if someone gave me a ticket and 5 days lodging, I would thank them and go in an instant.

Every other country I’ve either been to or would actively want to visit.

First world is not that difficult.

USA, Canada, Western Europe, Australian continent w/ New Zealand, Japan, and South Korea. The only reason South Korea is a first world country is because of the USA.

Would not go to Singapore or UAE, because those people are heathens.

The rest of the world is a giant shithole.

There’s no way Turkey can be considered first world and Israel considered third world. Even if Israel isn’t a first world country, I don’t see how Turkey can be considered a first world country. They’re basically run by a Nazi over there

You are really missing out. You seem extremely close minded and probably on the low IQ side. The rest of the world isn't a giant **** hole.

I felt the same before until I went there two years ago for my friends wedding and the World Cup. Spent time in Moscow and St Petersburg and had a blast.

Yeah, I agree that Turkey isn't a first world country. They probably get lumped in due to being a NATO member. Ever since the time they left Christianity or were invaded by the muslims, they have had major issues.
