The OP's response was in no way jingoistic. I guess you were hurling the epithet at the US in general, which adds nothing to that particular conversation.
As for the somewhat racist term "third world," I assume you really meant "underdeveloped economy." Which, for all of the United States' problems, it is not. The UN puts our HDI in the top 5, and it's nearly equal to Switzerland's.

And, yes, compared to the average central/northern European living conditions, U.S. average living conditions are appalling. And your use of cheap smear words like "racist" designed to appeal to emotions is not going to change this. Who trusts what the U.N. says?
