If you're allergic to extreme pedantry, skip the rest of the rest of this comment.

"because America is a 3rd-world country"

This isn't true by definition. The "first world" consists of NATO bloc nations. The "second world" consists of Communist bloc nations. The "third world" consists of nations that are not aligned with either. The term "third world nation", despite common misuse, is not a descriptor of anything other than political alignment.

I'm sorry, but this has been a pet peeve of mine for decades so I had to be that annoying guy.
