I removed some more vadalism :/ Quote- "Gayness

I have come to the sense that this might be a trait of thrid world countries? Anyone agree? Third world countries do have higher GNP (Gay Number of People). Please consider."

[edit] Economy

The last paragraph of the History section seems quite out of date - it should be added that many of former Soviet bloc countries switched to market economies (more or less). After all quite a few Central-Eastern European countries joined the European Union in 2004.

"The term "Second World" has largely fallen out of use because the circumstances to which it referred largely ended with the 1991 collapse of the Soviet Union" - which implies that everything we talk about is in the past. But I'll see about switching some verb tenses to make it clearer. - DavidWBrooks 11:48, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
