where are all the ex pat deadbeats posted?

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.

Keep life simple.

Never a borrower nor lender be.

Lend money cautiously to locals. Stay away from one man personal loans. Stick with big organizations, credit card companies, unions, government offices. Never borrow from criminal lenders, especially not in Cambodia. Stay away from commies, who think you owe them something for ripping them off. They are stupid.

So you’ve never had a credit card, mortgage, fridge (yeah people get them on the drip), mortgage or car on loaned money or finance?

Personally, no I haven't ever had any of those, but that's not really what I meant. The thread is about scammers - I assumed that meant people who scam from individuals rather than organisations.

And it's not a rule set in stone. I'm not that tight. If a friend was in dire need of help because of a one-off, completely unforeseen circumstance, of course I'd help. But I know, and have known far too many people who are in desperate need just because they're very bad with money management (to put it mildly). It's those people that will always get a no from me.

Overall that would be a lot of Americans, but you still use their software in a broad sense. Part of the American debt. comes from the Chinese who buy bonds in dollars to finance their industrial expansion. And thus be able to offer the iPhone assembly at a reduced price. In this case, please tell me who owes what to whom and for how long.

Speak for yourself, is another appropriate saying.

Some of us have friends, and are not heartless cunts.

You could always lend money off a pessimist. They never expect you to pay them back.

You owe me an explanation. As for how long, he's one of the Chinese bonds-buyers.

:dm: Does every thread here have to turn into a US - Chinese stand-off discussion ?

If you want to talk about the US and China, there are many, MANY other threads on the same topic.
(I'm not even sure what exactly defines Cambodian ex-pat deadbeats, but for sure, it's got nothing to do with US-Chinese politics.)
If you are interested in US-Chinese relations, that's cool, but I feel like any random topic on the forum is now getting taken over by the forces of for and against US and China.

I can't be bothered to work out how to quote myself as well as you on a mobile phone in the same post while in the back of a tuk tuk but take a look at what I said a couple of posts above yours and jump off that judgemental saddle of yours eh?
