That's not all that sucks on here.pczz wrote: ↑Sun Jan 21, 2018 8:22 pmthis is a forum for people to express their views, not an English test. Criticize a point of view by all means but not how it is spelt or worded or we will never get to discuss anything other than why CEO spell checker uses American spellings. Also please do not make comments about posters balls. I doubt you have looked at many of them, but if you have you should keep that private. I have no desire to check if you have any, not interested. As for the lady members, I do not find it all surprising or interesting whether they have balls or not.

Please put that quote into English. For what it's worth very few posters here have balls, much less crystal ones.
As a side note, "perhaps "more civilized than thou" types.". .,that ironically describes your writing style.

Re: Is The Phnom Penh Post next to owe back taxes in Cambodia?
Laos has less than half the population than this country does, and has had no major conflicts since 1975 - so it follows that it receives less aid than Cambodia.Your ideas about Chinese rule in Laos are laughable. Chinese influence in Laos waned in the 70s and the country was afterwards in the opposing Viet/ Soviet sphere until at least 1989. Bernard Krisher's role in the break-down of US-Cambodia relations was documented by many sources, including Kenton Clymer's "United States and Cambodia, 1870-1969". I never said his article was the only cause, but it was certainly one of the catalysts.Abc123 wrote: ↑Sun Jan 21, 2018 10:42 pmAre you seriously trying to mislead readers into thinking falsehoods again.

On a side-note - Bernard Krisher, later of the Cambodia Daily, wrote an inaccurate article in 1965 or so naming the Queen Mother Kossamak as a brothel and opium den owner. It turned out she only owned the land that these independent businesses were on. The article caused such a fuss that there were riots in Phnom Penh and the US and British embassies were ransacked.

And Laos receives plenty of foreign aid, here's just one graph:

(WB) Group have been Laos’ top donors /creditors .Recently, however, the Republic of Korea (ROK) and Thailand have ranked among major donors and creditors.
Here's a list of US aid for the years 1960 and 2015 for Laos, Cambodia and others.

They receive about half what Cambodia receives. It has never had billions of western tax payers money spent on stopping a civil war and bringing in a democracy.
The idea that Krisher alone caused riots at the US embassy is laughable to say the least. Even the author of your so called evidence, says ostensibly. Do you know what that word means?
Silence, exile, and cunning.

Acccording to this https://www.voanews.com/a/us-demining-c ... 04809.html and this https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/us ... 8ecb94aba3 the us is giving about 10 times more in demining aid to Laos than to Cambodia. Not sure if that is included in the OECD figures or notJohn Bingham wrote: ↑Mon Jan 22, 2018 1:08 amLaos has less than half the population than this country does, and has had no major conflicts since 1975 - so it follows that it receives less aid than Cambodia.Your ideas about Chinese rule in Laos are laughable.

OK Frank, now that I'm rid of the poster who was trying to bust my balls, what exactly is a "fes?"

For the technically un-astute, the browser you are using makes the little wavy lines, not the website. Go into settings or options, look for languages or spell checker, tick the dictionary of your choice.

I would have expected the negated form to be inastute - but that gets only 150 hits in Google Books, compared to 281 for unastute (neither word appears in the full OED, or any free online dictionaries, so far as I can see). – FumbleFingers Jan 20 '16 at 13:34

Re: Is The Phnom Penh Post next to owe back taxes in Cambodia?
touche! however in my defense, if someone wants to call me stupid using what sound like "intelligent" words they should use words that actually exist in the recognized dictionaries. there was nothing wrong with how it was spelt or how it was worded, he just yused a word that does not officially exist as it is not in the recognized dictionariestaabarang wrote: ↑Mon Jan 22, 2018 5:59 pmthis is a forum for people to express their views, not an English test.
