Second World Speak Up!

Just wondering what the half-rate citizens of the world have in mind toward joining the big league.

Yes, we all know some of you profess big balls. But, please ... get a grip if you might.

Unless you're Brazilian, Russian, Ukranian, Saudi, Aussie (miner), Canuck (miner) or Chinese...

you're giving the world nothing but lip service.

I honestly think that second-world countries deserve more respect.

They consume less than they they produce but fastidiously champion those countries that buy their tiny realm of goods. They really need support.

How many fat ugly chix in France, Germany and England could be put to proper work plowing fields in Louisiana or Oregon? Honestly ... It's a global thing. I'm proposing sending the unwedable cows to the US to farm crops.

It's win-win, ain't it?

Give it some consideration before you green me for my brilliant (lovely) idea.

Which part of Louisiana or Oregon will you be moving to :)

What are you, collectively, offering the world?

At least Thailand has pussy.

^Economics is hard lesson for you. Are you still feeling as confident as here:

Maybe someday the financial sky will actually fall, but until then, I'll remain airy.

The boy who cried wolf didn't get much attention after about the fifth false alarm.

When I first sounded the warning signals on TD?

Yep ... got a sister or cousin? The second-world needs help.

I'm confident my "worldwiide" fund will attract some brokeback wenches that were living on the dole sucking the tit of their Pattaya (love-monster) ...


I can almost guarantee there's a field somewhere in Texas or Kansas that needs a broad-shouldered, desperate wench.

What ya drinkin' tinght Tex?

Oh, the invitation is gapingly wide open.

Alas, it's the invitation to your mother and sisters.

You've clearly exhibited your uselessness.

I'm above the invitation. Reconsider your senselessness. It has no place here.

I agree, strap the KFC laden lasses to a plow and see just how many rai they can plow before blowing chunks... Of course they will have to be gagged in order to prevent scaring the other farm animals with their vitriolic demands for freedom & equality... There ought to be a reality TV show in there somewhere as well... :)

Gidday yap girls

The world needs production.

How many of your sisters and mothers are ready to pull plows?

The UK did their bit. It's someone else's turn now.

I enjoyed this letter in the LA Times.:)

Hey U.S., welcome to the Third World!




[COLOR=#333333! important]It's been a quick slide from economic superpower to economic basket case.[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#333333! important] [/COLOR]
[COLOR=#333333! important]Dear United States, Welcome to the Third World!

It's not every day that a superpower makes a bid to transform itself into a Third World nation, and we here at the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund want to be among the first to welcome you to the community of states in desperate need of international economic assistance. As you spiral into a catastrophic financial meltdown, we are delighted to respond to your Treasury Department's request that we undertake a joint stability assessment of your financial sector. In these turbulent times, we can provide services ranging from subsidized loans to expert advisors willing to perform an emergency overhaul of your entire government.

As you know, some outside intervention in your economy is overdue. Last week -- even before Wall Street's latest collapse -- 13 former finance ministers convened at the University of Virginia and agreed that you must fix your "broken financial system." Australia's Peter Costello noted that lately you've been "exporting instability" in world markets, and Yashwant Sinha, former finance minister of India, concluded, "The time has come. The U.S. should accept some monitoring by the IMF."

We hope you won't feel embarrassed as we assess the stability of your economy and suggest needed changes. Remember, many other countries have been in your shoes. We've bailed out the economies of Argentina, Brazil, Indonesia and South Korea. But whether our work is in Sudan, Bangladesh or now the United States, our experts are committed to intervening in national economies with care and sensitivity.

We thus want to acknowledge the progress you have made in your evolution from economic superpower to economic basket case. Normally, such a process might take 100 years or more. With your oscillation between free-market extremism and nationalization of private companies, however, you have successfully achieved, in a few short years, many of the key hallmarks of Third World economies.

Your policies of irresponsible government deregulation in critical sectors allowed you to rapidly develop an energy crisis, a housing crisis, a credit crisis and a financial market crisis, all at once, and accompanied (and partly caused) by impressive levels of corruption and speculation. Meanwhile, those of your political leaders charged with oversight were either napping or in bed with corporate lobbyists.

Take John McCain, your Republican presidential nominee, whose senior staff includes half a dozen prominent former lobbyists. As he recently put it, "I was chairman of the [Senate] Commerce Committee that oversights every part of the economy." No question about it: Your leaders' failure to notice the damage done by irresponsible deregulation was indeed an oversight of epic proportions.

Now you are facing the consequences. Income inequality has increased, as the rich have gotten windfalls while the middle class has seen incomes stagnate. Fewer and fewer of your citizens have access to affordable housing, healthcare or security in retirement. Even life expectancy has dropped. And when your economic woes went from chronic to acute, you responded -- like so many Third World states have -- with an extensive program of nationalizing private companies and assets. Your mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are now state owned and controlled, and this week your reinsurance giant AIG was effectively nationalized, with the Federal Reserve Board seizing an 80% equity stake in the flailing company.

Some might deride this as socialism. But desperate times call for desperate measures.

Admittedly, your transition to Third World status is far from over, and it won't be painless. At first, for instance, you may find it hard to get used to the shantytowns that will replace the exurban sprawl of McMansions that helped fuel the real estate speculation bubble. But in time, such shantytowns will simply become part of the landscape. Similarly, as unemployment rates continue to rise, you will initially struggle to find a use for the expanding pool of angry, jobless young men. But you will gradually realize that you can recruit them to fight in a ceaseless round of armed conflicts, a solution that has been utilized by many other Third World states before you. Indeed, with your wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, you are off to an excellent start.

Perhaps this letter comes as a surprise to you, and you feel you're not fully ready to join the Third World. Don't let this feeling concern you. Though you may never have realized it, you've been preparing for this moment for years.

Don't be "sexist" Tex You got me thinking back, it must be about 30 years ago I last did some "plowing" in the US, Beaumont I think it was, she was lovely:), walked in a tit bar, talked English with my Danish accent and "bob was your uncle" stayed with her 3 days and all for free. Great country, wouldn't mind doing it again, "brilliant idea" would green you if I could:)
