Damnit, I came into this thread expecting a photoshopped picture, instead I get some serious story. I demand a refund of the 10 seconds I spent reading and replying to this thread.

Seriously, is it really a 3rd world country ?

I may be wrong here and will defer to anyone who spends the time looking it up, but the 1st, 2nd and 3rd world distinctions are from the Cold War Era...

US, NATO, etc = 1st world

USSR, Warsaw Bloc = 2nd world

Everyone else = 3rd world

3rd World countries came to mean poor and underdeveloped b/c if they had any economic clout, they would've picked a side (and the benefits of a sugar daddy like the US or USSR)

That's my first approximation...

20 million Americans should emigrate to Mexico illegally, then demand full rights as Mexican citizens. They should also demand free medical care, tax free paychecks, driver's licenses and a retirement plan.

Of course the Mexican gov't wouldnt like that at all, and would probably threaten us with more of their army.

If the police extort money from you as the day to day way of doing business, you may consider it a third world country. Mexico s a third world country.

what's funny is that Mexico gaurds it's southern border, yet complains that we want to guard ours.

Well, would each province become their own state? Or the whole country as one state?

I forget....how many Provinces in Canada?

Who cares ? (kidding)

Canada would be seperated into 2 states, the lower part with actual people in it, and the northern part with polar bears and seals.

The seals would be for clubbing, right?
