LOL, ... Mark... Mark... Mark... that is the cold war map breakdown of worlds. First world was us... second world was the commies... third world was everyone else.
Couldn't find the real map? I found one in 3 seconds in the same article on Wikipedia.

You are a downright liar and a coward who covers up his shortcomings with snide sidebars painting false shortcomings upon others. Now I know why others have put you on ignore. You are a sad little man. I pity you.

Downright and outright both mean: Without reservation or qualification... but outright does seem to have more definitions that are useful in this regard... but I wouldn't use them... yet. He hasn't displayed a level of open disregard to quite that level yet.

Just trying to break the tension.
I've had him on ignore since about two days after he returned, only responding to his rants when somebody else quotes him.

I guess I should be quoting him so you can join in. He's actually been saying some decent arguments. It's too bad he overplays his hand. He can't resist trying to chop everyone else off at the knees with pointless and irrelevant 3rd grade taunts.
At least its a thread that has run up with lots of posting. We haven't had a non Iraq thread go over 150 posts in a long time. All in all... if I have to argue with a dyed in the wool liberal, I would rather have Spike or BoP. Spike is challenging and rarely loses his cool. BoP is always fun... and Tank Girl was downright nutty fun.

Spike may be challenging, but is prone to hyperbole. BoP is never ignored. She makes her points without the smarminess.

Psst...the word is outright, not downright.
Downright works in Dixie, which as we all know is the only place that matters.

Depends upon the context. You can be downright stubborn about this if you wanna, but I'll stick to my guns on this.

I'll be downright stubborn, you be outright unflinching, and two rights might make a wrong...or something like that...Damn I coulda had a V8...

...with a Ford Motor Company service placard on the engine. It's a Ford for all intents and purposes, which makes it not a GM, which makes it heavenly cartage.

Still sidetracking, and avoiding the arguments I've put forth because as per usual In this thread I am right again
Again, in the only map I could find, that maps out the world into first, second, and third worlds, Mexico is in the third world.
The map you provided maps out the world according to the "Human Development Index". As far as I know the term "third world" was deemed politically incorrect long ago, thus the lack of recent maps defining the third world. Perhaps Mexico is advancing in technology and industry at a rate much higher than other nations formerly known as third world, I wouldn't know, nor care.
The original reference to third word, was sardonic humor. Yeah it was cold wasn't it
If My sig says don't take yourself so damn seriously, why does everyone else take me so seriously?

I would have bought a Mazda a decade back, but none of my trusted mechanics were well versed upon the Wankel engine enough to be comfortable. They also told me that I wouldn't be able to come to them if I bought a Mercedes as they require special $50,000 shop diagnostic computers that are absolutely proprietary. They saw no need in getting one as they never did enough Merc business to warrant the expense.

May I assume I speak for the majority whan I say
WOULD YOU GIVE IT A FUCKIN REST ALREADY??!!
The man who must constantly self-justify indeed stands on shaky ground. Kee-rist, go get laid or something.
