Yay, another third world country to join EMU.

Yes; Spain, Portugal, Italy, Greece & etc are third world countries. These days I even want to add France to it...

You need to spend more time in the third world if you think those virtual paradises are even close.

Their per-capita GDP is ~20k in PPP terms, which is hardly third world.

If you think that Italy and Greece is third world you don't know what you're talking about.

I was in Greece a few years back. It wasn't even _slightly_ third world; actually, it was a really nice place!

Get out of your bubble.

Racist much?

As someone who grew up in a third-world country, you don't know what you are talking about. Please, educate yourself.
