A safer statement would be "most first worlders don't know the first fucking thing about the lives of most third-worlders".
And, in this case, the f-word plays a nice dual role.  |

But they don't have Internet connectivity. Oh, wait, that'll be the next U.N. project: provide access to the Internet to all citizens of the third world. The U.N. does a piss-poor job of fixing third world problems partly because it's dominated by the "leaders" of those countries who are largely responsible for the problems in the first place.
Until we get past the jealousy and finger-pointing about whose blame third-world poverty is and get people to start accepting responsibility for their own problems, it'll never change. In the meantime, let's keep handing out free notebook computers to people who don't have the energy to turn the crank because they don't have enough to eat. That may not really improve their situation, but it'll make some people in the western countries feel less guilty about being better off. |

And they know everything about us? That's what you're implying and that's also ignorant. |

I defy you to explain the implication you accuse me of. It's simply not there. |
