Argument of first world problems - WRONG!

[CapnAwesome]

I like using the first world problems thing, although I use it as mockery not as a serious argument like you've outlined. Mostly when I use it it's to say that your problem isn't really a problem. So when someone is like 'oh my iphone is broken' that is a first world problem. If someone makes an argument about gun control or health care, I take that argument seriously and wouldn't use the first world problems line. Actually those aren't first world problems at all, they are universal human problems that people in the third world certainly think about.

People in the first world basically live lives that are free of major problems. I think human nature is one where we need conflict and that is why you have first world problems. Where as we don't deal with starvation or the threat of massacre we invent problems for ourselves because solving lifes problems is intricate to the human experience. Also what some people obsess over as their problems is totally silly.
