Lightbulb Third world?

OK, I will admit that the Philippines is technicaly a third world nation.

But the way you have used it tells me that you do not understand the classifiction system.

Most Americans don't.

The Philippines is was not an industrialised nation durring the cold war, was not overtly politically aligned with the Russian comunist block or American led Capitalist Block. That makes them "Third World"

Not finacially disadvantaged, poorly educated or inferior in Aircraft repair and Maintenence.

In fact my freinds from there swear at the TV every time it called third world.

More correct is "Emerged Economy"

SO if you are going to throw nasty incorrect verbage around, don't blame the people that used what stupid cheap airlines are buying, blame the stupid cheap airline.
