I think it's more civil if people describe their experiences with I-statements instead of statements about other countries.
> the word "third world" does not implicate something negative per se. As a consequence if you accuse me to be uncivil you implicate that third world countries are negative.
It may not be negative per se, but other may feel it is, and it's those feelings I'd like posters to be sensitive to. Thanks,
