Wait who’s been on here defending torture?

It’s also very telling where you’ve set the bar... yup, prostitution is definitely not as bad as killing people, no argument there. :wink:

Oh really? So people from different countries are "types"? Please do explain Mr. Canuck.

Yep, people typify themselves. And yes drug dealing is a job. Until you get caught.

Prostitution isn't bad at all, as long as it's a transaction between consenting adults. I certainly know that's not always the case, and I'm all for cracking down hard on any abuses. Other than that though, if anyone has a moral issue with prostitution itself, fuck them and their God(s).

I think there are a lot of issues but alcohol and sex aren't going anywhere in any society. I think illegal alcohol and illegal sex just causes more problems than legalized markets because it can exist wherever people are.

Quite a few Engineers here on 10-20K per month.

There's a number of extraordinarily well paid foreigners managing large malls, restaurant chains and corporations at exec level too, all high six figure salaries.

I've had wages here myself in the past six/seven years that were very good indeed by any standards

Now in month 17 of not working and savings not what they once were, lol

People with engineering degrees were making 20k USD a month in Cambodia? What discipline? Cost of living is so low I would assume wages would be much less. The work situation is indeed seeming unfortunate.
