Grace,

For writing this, you are not going to win the Nobel Prize for Literature. Ever.

How dare you indict the West?

The politics of English language.

Aw, shucks.

Ok then, I’ll even it out. I’ll next write ”The Perks of 500 Years of Western Subjugation of Southeast Asia.” How’s that?

Seriously, you’re right about the politics of the English language. Unfortunately, language kills. Conservative estimate: half a billion people.

If writing the truth pays in missing the so called “Nobel” then it is better to miss that. West have always used the term third world in a derogatory manner.

Thanks for exploring the truth behind the word “Third world”. Keep on telling the truth about western suppression of south East Asian people.

Thank a lot Grace, but also the so branded Third Worlds should prove how thirdly they should not be treated.

Thanks for dropping by, Rose. You are so right about that. This Third World culture has also become defective upon the Third World.

Sanyog,

Thanks for reading!

Rudolf meant that in jest. He’s known to cut the West down to size, himself.

Thanks for the link, Rudolf.

I agree. Some folks went to town taking advantage of the Tower of Babel.

Btw, I can guess your age, hehe...

Hi Grace,

Guess my age? Why do you want to do such a horrible thing to your friend? Don’t you know that once you guessed it, it becomes true? Guessing the age of someone is like reading your daily horoscope. Anyway, guess. I will give you a hint too. I am 15 going to 14.
