Re: What's the end game with this scam?

In a couple of months I've had about 8 people approach me while I was walking somewhere, they're always Malayasian or Malaysian Chinese and most of them are on moto's and one was even in Aeon so surely couldn't be straight up asking for cash. But they always start with the same opening line - "...

Re: Why are there so many sarcastic commentators on CEO

The people who make decisions will, no doubt make whatever decisions they believe are best. A number of people expressed concern over those who continually trash intelligent discussions. If things remain the same, CEO continues to be the plaything of those who want to make fun of everything. You sho...

Re: Why are there so many sarcastic commentators on CEO

Please contact the admin and let them know what you want changed. Two issues have been expressed recently. 1. Some posts are not allowed because the people posting them genuinely have a different opinion to the moderator. 2. An environment exists where it is difficult to have intelligent discussion...

Re: Why are there so many sarcastic commentators on CEO

That is the reason I rarely bother making any new posts these days because there are so many people who just see their job as to sit on the side lines and trash what you have put with sarcasm. Nothing wrong with sarcasm, what disturbes me is the amount of comments that use unesessory offensive lang...

Re: Cambodia's Mental Health Problem

If you meet a lot of Cambodians, you will meet people with mental health problems. Cambodians call them chgoot. Some will be obvious to you. Others will appear normal, but Cambodians will tell you they are chgoot. Some have genuine mental health problems, which are not diagnosed like they would be i...

Re: Khmer Idioms

There is a lot of correct Khmer which is similar to idioms. I mentioned already, the translation of 'dizzy' means, my 'face is spinning.' If someone says 'sok se,' it literally translates 'hair horse.' It refers to when someone cuts their hair with a fringe. That is, 'sok se' means fringe. So when y...

Re: Why are there so many sarcastic commentators on CEO

There is no problem having a sense of humour.

The problem is when intelligent discussions are hijacked.

Re: How do I cure my better half’s fear of cats?

Is the concern over hygiene? Animals in Cambodia can carry a lot of germs. I normally avoid touching them. More so with dogs.

Re: Thief Steals Dead Man's Motorbike After Hit and Run

Why we hate this country If you hate this country, why are you here? Are you planning to leave? I acknowledge a lot of things are not right in Cambodia. For example, the high crime rate, throwing trash everywhere, and not following road rules, which results in a ridiculous amount of people getting ...

I think it is getting so bad, that a lot of people feel the same way. Those with their brain-in-the-gutter sabotage intelligent posts, making it impossible to have intelligent discussion.
