what I learned from Southeast Asia....

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

I don't see a problem. As previously stated, 'if you open a thread started by Trapper, then you know what you're in for'.
Why the fck open the thread and then complain about it?

Surely, Tapatalkers are a minority.

What's inherently wrong with "running away" from a boring routine in the home country? I readily admit to that, which is why I initially relocated to Singapore with my company when I had the chance to do so. That was interesting for a while, but then new opportunities called. I work a 9-6 corporate job in VN. Although the routine gets dull at times, the life is good.

None of my expat friends are down and out, nor are they alcoholics (yet). Have they "run" from something back home? Who knows. But they seem to be enjoying life in SEA, and when they don't, they leave.

I'm getting the sense, BITM, that you're somewhat jealous that others seem to be able to move to the region, be productive, and enjoy life here in a way that you really wanted to as well, but just couldn't, for whatever reason.

when is enough ...enough

I know many many people that live, work, ran their own business, raised a family and have retired in SE aisa. Most came for a new experience
Very, very few were running from anything back home.
U hang with some real losers. :beer1:
I know you've brought this up before, but it REALLY sends a mixed message when you say "ban the fucker" and also comment on the subject at the same time. Feel me?

Haha, I just realized what you mean, and you're correct.

Opening a topic on CEO through Tapatalk is like a box of chocolates.... However, you should only have to open it once, and then not open it again if it's of no interest to you.

Richard is like the kid who goes to the doctor and tells him, "every time I eat something with peanuts in it, my face swells up," and the doctor says, "WELL, THEN STOP EATING FUCKING PEANUTS!!!!"

:stir:

Ok, ok, I jest, I jest..

sometimes i just have to point out how fucking stupid he is and the reality is not what he sees and BTW, i first commented on 1 post and then he came back with another stupid post....
I know i should cease but......

So my question to you, ( and please dont say u will keep it short), does he actually add anything to the forum ?
If so, give him his one thread like bat shit HAD, so u can keep the traffic, dont let him pollute the whole forum with his drivel...

or do you just love the controversy he generates?
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

another fault of expats, they think they know more and treat everyone like a noob hahahaha if they only knew I make 300 USD a day for doing nothing .......

I could buy any one of those girly bars in PP this time next year hahahahaha
I don't know. Are you saying I'm a useless alcoholic sexpat, killing myself slowly by abuse, in a third world country, because I'm " running away " from " my problems " in the West?
Lol! Fuck you kid. You know NOTHING!
