QUOTE(kpnote7 @ Jun 10 2023, 10:09 AM) Instead of continuing to condemn Jocelyn....Bolehland must oso REFLECT lah...U tink whatever she said is totally wrong? Bolehland must learn what went wrong for past 40 years? Rectify Bolehland own mistake and take the right path to become develop nation. Otherwise... She’s wrong when she said SG is first world country.  |

QUOTE(jaapers @ Jun 10 2023, 10:57 AM) Are you sure you want to use this as your argument? Are you basing it on the map colors or the words? The words do not include all countries. The map is too small to see Singapore color. And do you not know that Singapore is a western ally? The map is based on the original definition of the Three Worlds. SG is one of NAM countries, aka the Third World. See list here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-Aligned_MovementHere's a more specific source https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-r...world-countries  Based on the link that you’ve given, Malaysia is also one of the First World, which invalidates her argument that Malaysia is a Third World.  |

QUOTE(jaapers @ Jun 10 2023, 11:34 AM) So that decades old list is static and can never be updated despite how much a country has advanced? The original Three Worlds definition is not even based on a country’s advancement. How old are you again? You have some reading to do.For your second point, what Malaysia is categorized under is not part of my original argument so i don't care. If you want to say she's wrong that Malaysia is third world, go ahead. But iirc she said that Malaysia is a developing country. Not third world. Nah you barged in on my argument. My point is that what she said is not 100% correct. SG is not a First World in the original definition. MY and SG are Third Worlds in the original definition, First Worlds in the newer definition. |

QUOTE(jaapers @ Jun 10 2023, 12:29 PM) And you are stuck to the original definition when her context can be different? Everyone knows the definition of first world is not exactly set in stone. Just because she doesn't follow your decades old definition doesn't mean she's wrong. Well, definition matters. Otherwise anyone can claim to be anything.Fact is, by many metrics, Singapore is a developed first world nation. If you deny it then you are probably just being petty. The fact remains that she is incorrect in this matter. However it remains unclear why you die2 want to protect this so-called comedian. |
