    I clicked to see what you're up to. :laugh: And got pretty much what I was expecting. Anyhow, I don't know the answer.

    Am I a psychic for knowing this is gonna be Mopi's thread and the content would be censored? :laugh:
  3. I don't believe such a line could be drawn. There...

    I don't believe such a line could be drawn. There would be core countries, fringe countries, and everything in between, rendering the terms almost meaningless. Plus, classifications would vary...

    Nobody has ever disputed that people from poorer countries tend to migrate to richer ones rather than vice-versa, even though it's not a one-hundred percent rule. Therefore, I'm not disputing this is...
  5. Your attempt to categorize countries into first,...

    Your attempt to categorize countries into first, second, and third world relies on arbitrary definitions that lack credibility. Where did you take those definitions from? You literally just made them...

    East-Central Europe isn't considered part of the first world, huh? Find me a single reputable source that categorizes those countries under the 'third world' label by modern definition, which is...
  7. Then as I have acknowledged in one of my first...

    Then as I have acknowledged in one of my first posts, people from East-Central Europe do indeed immigrate to the UK with the reason being that UK offers greater economic prospect and not because...
  8. We were talking about East-Central Europe, not...

    We were talking about East-Central Europe, not Eastern Europe as a whole. While it's true that Ireland and Italy have undergone economic transformations that have reduced emigration rates, it's...

    You literally said 'they are strictly speaking second world countries in reality on par with Turkey or Azerbaijan,' which is almost the same thing you claim you didn't say. And for the last time, not...
  10. They don't wanna leave because of the living...

    They don't wanna leave because of the living conditions are necessarily bad, but they are better in some nations. There's a huge difference in there.

    As for Turkey 'being that bad,' it's relative...
  11. As someone from that area who visited west Asia...

    As someone from that area who visited west Asia including Turkey, to think its living conditions are somehow comparable to those of a country like Czechia is ridiculous. Go check any reputable...
  12. There's a significant gap between labeling an...

    There's a significant gap between labeling an entire country as 'almost third world' and the number of immigrants from that country. The fact they go the UK in order to get a better salary doesn't...

    Oh, Septentrion, the great world traveler! Did you get your 'Little Traveler's badges' from your mom's basement toy box? Please, spare us the tales of your epic adventures in the land of your...

    Indeed, the idea that humans must choose between worshiping God or Mammon oversimplifies the complexity of human values. Why specifically think of God or Mammon, right? Anyway, you can plug in...

    As long as Feiichy and Insuperable draw breath, this thread is bound to withstand the heat death of the universe.

    Every case is unique, and there is no simple or universal answer. The effectiveness of sanctions, isolation, or boycotts can vary significantly depending on the specific context of each case. While...

    Looks like I've got a secret admirer too. Been getting those random brain-dead rep comments from sockpuppet accounts, all written in the exact same fashion. This guy's subtlety is indeed astounding.

    It's downright appalling to witness healthcare systems prioritize profits over patients' well-being. Suggesting suicide as a budget-friendly solution isn't just morally bankrupt, it's downright...

    Yes, I implied there are parallels between historical colonialism and contemporary immigration as well as the differences. In the rest of your post, you're pointing out that while there are indeed...
  23. Poll: The other way round hasn't worked for a few...

    The other way round hasn't worked for a few centuries, as far as I've noticed. Comparing historical colonialism to contemporary immigration dynamics oversimplifies complex issues.
  24. Poll: While colonialism is often demonized for its...

    While colonialism is often demonized for its negative impacts, it's important to acknowledge the positive changes it brought about - and there were many. The eradication of practices like...
