Toxic description, and demeening to countries outside your own. Do you really have to talk like that about other people that live further away from you?

What? I live in one of these countries (not as bad as the one I described). My hometown is very serene and peaceful, until you are of a certain race or creed, then they are extremely racist. It is ultimately a backward place with backward people. Western folks like to pretend that every place is equally good until they have to raise their daughter in one of these places.

The first step to a country's growth is the acceptance of one's place in the world. Pretty much all of the emerging countries of today at some point kinda accepted the state that they are in and decided to get out of it (Japan, China, Indonesia today)

Mind you, I classify certain states in the US as shitholes. The fact that you _need_ a gun means that it is ultimately a shithole place in my book.
