That was a difficult watch. I can only assume there weren't that many Khmers around, or they would have intervened a lot sooner. I find that when there's a badly behaved foreigner picking on one of their own (male or female) they'll usually deal with the foreigner pretty swiftly, especially when it'...

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, ...

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...

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...

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...

Why autocracies bother with elections.

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,...
