If we just stick to stories which have come out on this forum in the last few hours.

Royal Gendarmerie Officer and Team Arrested for Drug Trafficking
I get criticized for saying things like, the police and drug dealers work together.
When you arrest the big boys, the smaller boys will stop a lot of their activities.

No, there's carnage as the smaller boys work out who the next big boy will be.

A lot of people are blame orientated. For example, this person did a bad thing, let him or her have a harsh punishment.Anchor Moy wrote: ↑Wed Apr 10, 2019 5:12 pm @explorer.

You are making it about poor barang victims, when that is not at all the topic. The Swiss man is a thief and the bank is the victim. Get it ?
Smart people are solution orientated. That is, what can we do to minimize the likelihood of something similar happening in the future.
A girl killed another girl in a road accident. People are saying she should go to jail. People are not saying, we should introduce better driving training, or we should stop drink driving, or we should ensure all vehicles have lights so they can be seen at night. These measures would result in a genuine improvement in road safety.
Yes, this particular man was a thief. People are not saying we should make it illegal to produce or distribute fake notes. This would genuinely address this issue. I have discussed other situations, because this is not just a one of. Other people have been scammed with fake money.
This website is malfunctioning for me at the present time. If anything strange comes up, it may be the website malfunction.

Yes explorer, I saw your earlier suggestion regarding better driver training on the thread where the girl killed another girl in a road accident.explorer wrote: ↑Wed Apr 10, 2019 7:27 pmSmart people are solution orientated.

As I replied then but you ignored it...this girl is 16 and she is unlicensed! To my knowledge, you have to be 18 in Cambodia to have a driver's license for a car.
So, how does your 'smart' solution oriented suggestion help there??

Burning fake money at New Year is not specifically Cambodian. It's part of the culture in many Asian countries. Like China for example. The notes are all marked COPY.explorer wrote: ↑Wed Apr 10, 2019 7:27 pmYes, this particular man was a thief. People are not saying we should make it illegal to produce or distribute fake notes.

In this case, there are foreigners who think they can exploit this play money, but the locals are used to it, so it doesn't work. I don't see why local people should change their habits just because some foreigners are greedy and stupid.
Otherwise, real counterfeit money is already illegal, in every country.

It's the locals who produced this evil counterfeit money who are to blame. You don't understand. If you tried to understand a bit more you would know. Some people know, others don't know. It's always the locals who are to blame, and I have learned this from my long gap-year in Kampong Bumfuck talking to local bumpkins. If you try to be more like me you will realize how everything works.In this case, there are foreigners who think they can exploit this play money, but the locals are used to it, so it doesn't work.

Re: Swiss Man Detained for Switching Fake $100 at Phnom Penh ATM
On the surface I agree with you. Finding solutions are good, but we also need to be careful. Responding with more laws in knee jerk reactions to everything that goes wrong is also how we have ended up with too many laws and regulations and big government.explorer wrote: ↑Wed Apr 10, 2019 7:27 pmA lot of people are blame orientated.

The uneducated rural Khmer are some of the kindest, most welcoming people around. Annoying sometimes, but always from the heart. Definitely not scammers! I sometimes think that we foreigners put the idea of scamming into the brains of the more educated Khmer who are criminals.
But these scammers do pretend to be uneducated rural Khmer to the foreigners. They give the uneducated rural Khmer a bad name.
