Re: Terror strikes at a concert in Moscow
Very surprised they didn't take their own lives before they were caught. They must have known they would be in for a fate worse than death. Maybe they were man enough to point their guns at unarmed civilians and massacre them at point blank range, but not quite man enough to turn the rifle around, ...

Re: Spending $ in ABA
International monetary exchange is a very lucrative business. For some reason, money can't just go from point A to point B. It has to go through points C,D,E and F along the way, with each stop off point wanting to cream their slice off the top. It's one of the main reasons cryptocurrencies were cre...

Re: Please explain ?
Occam's Razor: The simplest explanation is most likely the correct one.
As there was no Adam and Eve, the painter clearly didn't consider the fact that they were supposedly the first humans, and therefore simply forgot not to add a navel.

Re: Worth the death penalty?
You often hear people calling for the death penalty for a variety of reasons, usually for the most evil, heinous of crimes. I'm surprised that there is a country which regularly gives out the death penalty for freud. I don't believe in the death penalty for any reason. 1. Most civilised countries la...

Re: Layout of the CEO forum.
Isn't this type of forum what used to be known as a bulletin board (or still is) ? One of the oldest types of message based boards, but still the best in my opinion. No 140 character limit (or whatever it is), not bombarded with adverts every few seconds, not designed to just mindlessly scroll throu...

Re: Tik Tok to be banned ( maybe) in the US
The issue with Tik-Tok is two-fold, according to the recent senate social media hearings where they summoned the CEO's of the main social media platforms to testify. The first is that Tik-Tok, having a Chinese parent company, is compelled under Chinese law to share data with the CCP. Even if they di...

Re: Why do Western women visit Cambodia?
It's an interesting question only if you assume that foreign men primarily come to Cambodia for the women. Other than that, it's a bit like asking why women visit France, or Australia or India. Women like to travel just as much as men, so I guess their reasons for travelling to a particular country,...

Re: ANTS EVERYWHERE! I need Boric Acid - anywhere in central PP?
When people talk about ants in Cambodia, do they mean actual ants that bite you, the things we get in western countries also (or at least in the UK, especially in the summer) or do they mean those things that are about a quarter of the size but don't bite you and are just more of an annoyance? I hav...
