    My problem with the relationship between the 1st world and the 3rd world is that 1st world countries exploit the natural resources of the third world and THEN don't share the profits with the people who actually live there.

    Whether it's sweatshop labor, oil, diamonds, or lumber, exploitation of the 3rd world is wrong no matter how much more comfortable it makes our lives in the first world. I suppose you could say it's not as bad as it was in previous centuries, when countries like England both ruled over and stripped bare the riches of their colonies, but the effects of those days still linger today in the irrational borders that were left behind to create warfare to this day.

    It isn't that we're withholding our wealth from the poor third-worlders, it's that we've robbed them blind for it, and it's shameful.

    We barely leave a pittance and many people think we've earned it all or somehow deserve it all by virtue of our military might. The tables always turn. They turn slowly, but they always turn. The richest nations will someday pollute themselves (ourselves in this case) to death leaving behind death and destruction, but the poorest may just pick up the pieces left behind some day.
