Who's sock are you?
Really, that's rich. Nice try at deflection...
You have 29 posts between 07 June 2014 and 1 July 2014
Then 7 years and 2 months of complete silence
Then 7 posts between 29 September 2021 and today.
Have you been in a coma? Or are you a sleeper-sock, resurrected to evade the scrutiny of the mods for new members? Maybe an old membership obtained from someone else?
Both of these sites have become so calcified with opportunistic pseudo-wokism that it's inevitable that I get banned at some point while speaking truth to power. Truth (as in "water is wet", or pizza delivery 'bodies with persons' are "not in fact heroic" ) is not a popular subje...
My money is on sooner rather than later.

Italy is not really the most honest country in Europe, the Italians even dont trust other Italians. I would think its the only country in (the western world), where, if going in a small bar wit maybe 2 waitresses, you first go to pay at the boss/cashier, to get a ticket for a 2 euro cappucino !! ?? In Belgium there are a lot of Italian immigrants, and whe say about them: they dont trust they own left hand !! ??truffledog wrote: ↑Thu Sep 30, 2021 5:53 pm try get a fixed price taxi from Rome airport to downtown at the fixed rate.

I give because there is need, not because I expect people to kiss my feet with gratitude.
@rozzieoz Surely you joust. Something ain't right here, @Doc67 why do you care about the contrived drivel here if I may paraphrase your sentiments, normally you would not bat an eye to a thread you were not really entwined in. And @sanjuro what in Sam Hell have ya been up to for 7+ chnams boy? If ya bought it - was it like on the dark web n stuff? And then there is Me and Richard and that @hdgh29 poster is an outta nowhere kind of fellow,@John Bingham been dropping out of the pack as of late and not legging it out like a verbal sharp shooter - unheard of for him. Suspect. Last few pages it's dwindled down pretty good and its fizzling out cuz they ain't much pep in these new kicks (sox).

I have fairly limited connections here, and haven’t really been able to do much beyond trying to look out for my circle. If you find a way to do something on a larger scale, please let me know. There were a few organizations taking donations to aid out of work tuk-tuk drivers (I believe) back during the lockdown. If you want their details, I’d be happy to forward them to you.

Re: What Can We Do?
I've found the tuk tuk charity in PP, as well as someone who supports a village in Siem Reap.
I'll be supporting those two organisations, along with friends who are struggling.

Re: What Can We Do?
Do you have names and links to those organisations for anyone who might want to join you ?
Re: What Can We Do?

Re: What Can We Do?
I don't understand the argument "you have a Khmer wife, so how can you hate on Cambodians?".
It's possible that by virtue of having been selected by a barang for marriage, one's Khmer wife may have been learned about civilized, rational thinking and care of others. The same is not true of Cambodians in general.
And to the handful of posters who say not all Cambodians are evil, thieving and ungrateful, that's the reason they're called GENERALIZATIONS! Nobody, myself included, is saying every Khmer, or Chinese, is a certain way. It's just that the prevalence of those that are seem to make it feel that way.
