Democracy or DemoCRAZY? Increasing riots in the streets. Protests against police. Dysfunctional Congress. Lack of support for military--and less demographic representation. Fed and White House computers hacked. Snubs and challenges from China, Russia, Syria... Jobless college graduates and burdensome student loans. Political attempts to force redistribution of wealth, imminent domain, healthcare, lack of personal responsibiilty...on and on..

By global standards, I'd say we are far from a Third World country. I don't know if these problems are becoming more frequent, or if that is just our perception based on a need to fill a 24/7 media schedule and social media. Even 10 years ago it we likely wouldn't hear about most of these issues because we didn't have the means to pass information along so quickly to so many people i.e. smartphones.

On the other hand, by constantly reporting on these things, maybe we're creating the problem. Who knows?

The definition of Third World is outdated.

I'll bypass commenting on your politically charged comments, and simply say "No, we are not even close to becoming a third-world country."
