Surely it is a 'Developed World' problem?

Not 'First World'.

'Third World' being terribly non-P.C.

Surely First World is equally offensive?

Why is it unPC when it just refers to the level of development and not who is better?

Because its not a neutral word. Being developed is seen as good. Developing suggests you are on the path to developed but not there yet. Developed is whole and finished. Developing is partial and not yet achieved.

Cervix, you need to live in my town. But half of town got washed away by a flood last month, so that was a bit of a downer. Grin

Pros and cons, pros and cons. We even had that happiness dude from Bhutan come do our keynote speech at work, too. Grin

Exploited and Exploiter countries?

Exploiter country problems.

Exploit is an odd word when you say it too often.

Certainly more honest...
