Re: China "may" be preparing Mulberry barges for an invasion of Taiwan

they wont ever invade This Is What Would Happen if China Invaded Taiwan https://www.wired.com/story/this-is-what-would-happen-if-china-invaded-taiwan/ Based on the article, I bet China will wait until April to invade. With Trump at the helm, China will have no problems getting Taiwan back. No way i...

Re: What's your rent-to-income ratio? Poll.

I have answered based on rent alone, but I don't really think of it in terms of just rent. My electricity bill can be almost as high as my rent, so when budgeting, I think of the two as one single expense. dam, either really cheap rent and 5 air cons, 5 fridges++ running 24/7 OR VERY high rent and ...

Re: US politics topics and CEO

...What's the problem here? I don't see any.. Rest of the World section, exactly. Not even sure what the issue is here. I see the following issues from reading of topics/posts: 1. Disproportionate weighting and prominence afforded to US politics (and other non-Cambodian topics eg Israel) that puts ...

Each unto their own ItWasntMe. But a professional Girlfriend - Saungsa Atit - if chosen well, can be a great asset. But if you are inclined to the smorgasbords view of life then your proposed course of action is better for you. OML My home is my castle and there is no drama allowed in here. I keep ...

Re: Eat much you fat bastards? Poll.

You can eat quite cheaply in Cambodia if you have to. I eat local food sometimes, but it's not often very satisfying, especially if you have to do it all the time. I don't have to and I prefer eating Indian, Lebanese, French or even American style food because I have that choice. I don't eat a huge...

Re: US politics topics and CEO

So, what's the solution here? What if we were to ban discussion of US politics? Discussion of US politics starts arguments and ill feeling among members. Deters others from joining the discussion, creates cliques and grudges. It doesn't change anything on the ground in the US. So, what's the point?...

Re: Expat possibly engaged in paedophilia

I came across a situation involving an expat who is very likely up to no good. There is a Khmer family. They have a foreigner renting a room from them in the same building. It has a separate access. He has young children staying overnight with him in his room. There are at least three children. One...

Re: What Trump is up to after his win

And that girl was 17 years old, (legal in all 50 states). It nothing more than political showboating to get rid of him. If he took the job as Attorney General, he would be a threat to the democrats as he was prepared for legal actions against democrats. So... They had to come up some "damaging...

Re: What Trump is up to after his win

And that girl was 17 years old, (legal in all 50 states). Trafficking a 17 year old across state lines for the purpose of prostitution is certainly not legal in all 50 states. Weren't there a lot of drugs involved too? I'm pretty sure cocaine and ecstasy would be illegal almost anywhere in the US. ...
