Does it belong to the Third World ?

Being a prosperous Dutch island, I'd say no. But the whole term was "third world armpit". Even if you can make the case the Carribbean is Third World, I don't think you could ever make the case Aruba is an "armpit".

If you classify it as Dutch I suppose that takes it down another notch.

"I'm not trying to make this a racial matter."

Yes, you were too. You were also making it about this girl's appearance, and her family's money or lack thereof. I suggest you just lay off this sad scene, you obviously have no compassion because the girl is pretty, white and possibly her family is rich. She couldn't help it, it was the life she was born into and the genes she got stuck with. But you don't see it that way, you see it as a slap at other missing persons--talk about a convoluted thought process! And don't bother with the "whatever" reply--it is so junior high.

I have to strongly disagree with you. I stand by my argument as well.

And don't tell me to "lay off" any thread. I don't tell anyone to do that, so I expect the same from you.

Have a nice day.

Once again I ask you to support that statement.

Yawn.

Well, the troll can take his whining victim concept and shove it. An American was murdered the perps need to pay with their lives. NSNR

Yes reminds me of Janet reno saying how the crime rate in America dropped so low under klintoon. Some people will believe anything so as not to offend the Arubian den of death. NSNR
