A balanced article on beg-packing...
Read more: http://www.ozy.com/fast-forward/the-ris ... cker/77559?Scrunched between raucous hostels and a shuttered bia hơi stall on Ho Chi Minh City’s Phạm Ngũ Lão Street, a panhandler sits behind a cardboard sign asking for handouts. Normally, I wouldn’t do a double take. Except the clean-shaven, 27-year-old Ilya, who doesn’t dare share his last name, is thousands of miles from his home in St. Petersburg. No, he’s not begging for food or water in this backpacker haven. Rather, he wants me to help bankroll his surfing trip to the pristine beaches of the Philippines.
The comments section is a reasonable read.

I'll admit to my weakness here...I still want to rip their signs out of their hands and slap the upside the head while yelling "GET A JOB!"
I sympathise with one of the commenters "I can't even look people in the eye and ask them for money."

I think it has been well established that you are an illiterate moron, but the debt stems from a loan made to a dictator who putsched himself into power with the tacit approval (and probably help) of the US. You are also forgetting the small matter of Cambodia having a right to compensation for being savagely bombed by the same US of A.ricefarmersdaughter wrote: ↑Mon May 29, 2017 10:19 amcambodia still owes 500 million fucking dollars.
I am still hoping to see that post where you out yourself as having been a genius troll stringing this forum all along, but my hopes are dwindling.

Re: A balanced article on beg-packing...
You call "asians" racist and then say that "all asians see themselves as superior?" Hypocritical much? And what is it with you damn race baiters and putting everything down to race?ricefarmersdaughter wrote: ↑Mon May 29, 2017 10:19 amrespect is a 2 way street so why do asians always see them selfs as superiour?

And then you go off on Cambodia owing money as if somehow them being "Asian" is the reason for this. Nothing to do with the world bank, nothing to do with genocidal eugenicist bankers, nothing to do with Pol Pots ideology, nothing to do with the war in Vietnam...no, it's because Cambodia is Asian...
