Welcome to the entitled 20’s. Why is this all such a surprise?newkidontheblock wrote: ↑Fri Jun 19, 2020 1:44 am It’s disingenuous. They portray themselves as poor unfortunates, which is not true.
A Khmer should make a sign to hold up telling it how it really is.
She doesn’t want to work. She wants you to give her money to continue her vacation. She has a husband doing the same thing down the corner.
Passerby then can know the truth, and can decide about letting her continue her 4 months vacation on their expense.

I don’t remember feeling entitled in my 20’s. I was told in no I certain terms if I flunked out of college or somehow didn’t make it, I could starve and die on the streets.Yerg wrote:Welcome to the entitled 20’s. Why is this all such a surprise?
My 20’s were spent glued to a book or otherwise busting my ass to avoid starving and dying on the streets.
This must be in alternate reality zone.

If you put it like that, your reality is just as alien to me as the reality of a begpacker. Flunking out of college would have made you starve in the street? Seriously? Couldn't you have gotten a job as a burger flipper, waiter, mover, undertaker or something? It's not like college dropouts are doomed to die.newkidontheblock wrote: ↑Fri Jun 19, 2020 3:32 amI don’t remember feeling entitled in my 20’s.

In a nation run by swine, all pigs are upward-mobile and the rest of us are fucked until we can put our acts together: not necessarily to win, but mainly to keep from losing completely. HST

Re: How to Help Lone, Lost Western Woman in Phnom Penh ?
You're exaggerating right? I've always wondered why many Asian students from countries like Taiwan, China, Sth Korea and Japan work so hard compared to their Western equivalents, although I figured parents of those countries must drum it into them from a very young age. Reminds me of my Chinese/Malaysian friends who had a 3-4 yr old and would bring out a stick like a cane and threaten to hit him if he didn't tidy up and put away his toys before going to bed. I could see the kid was terrified when they did that and I was shocked by it. Then there are the stories of student suicides from over work in those countries. Sorry bit off topic but interesting..newkidontheblock wrote: ↑Fri Jun 19, 2020 3:32 amI don’t remember feeling entitled in my 20’s.

I'm wondering whether @Yerg actually meant the entitled 2020's or the entitled 20 yr old's? I read it as the former..

My best mate went into the army at 18. We were all like WTF dude!Big Daikon wrote: ↑Fri Jun 19, 2020 7:31 amDifferent generation, I guess. I spent my twenties in the military to pay for college.
Anyway. He stayed in for 18 fucking years and went into private security in Iraq or Afghanistan or somewhere.
He went from a skinny ginger twat to a massive ginger twat.
Who’s laughing now. Full military pension. Boom.
Don’t listen to Chinese whispers.
