Re: Religious people are, on average, less intelligent than atheists, researchers claim.

I think you missed my point. The **decline** of a formerly very religious country (frontiers and wars will do that to you),after the second major world war was over led to the decline we have today. You can see the "snowball" effect that generation after generation led to. Big Pharma found...

Re: Illegal plantation of 12,000 marijuana plants discovered in Takeo

What'd you get in the West for that, in a restricted state? A few years? Year and a half on good behavior? Lose all your business, maybe your wife, your dog, and she sold the truck? Here? "Sign this, don't do it again, we got the goods on ya'. Some serious words, everyone knows about you now, a...

What Behaviors to Charm All Sorts of Cambodians?

Without becoming an ATM machine, what makes Cambodian people like or respect you? For instance, giving attention to the small ones make one look nice. I mean appropriate attention, of course. Parents seem to like their kids to interact with foreigners. Having a BBQ occasionally with the neighbors al...
