Re: Giant Symbolic Statue for Preah Sihanouk Province
I’m just curious, because you seem to be implying that unless DankSinatra himself has built toilets for schools, he should not expect the government to spend money building toilets for schools. Why would you think that?mannanman wrote: ↑Sat Apr 16, 2022 9:38 pmWhat that question to you?Chad Sexington wrote: ↑Sat Apr 16, 2022 2:09 pmAnd your point is ?mannanman wrote: ↑Sat Apr 16, 2022 1:39 pmHow many have you built?DankSinatra wrote: ↑Sat Apr 16, 2022 1:22 pm Could have built a lot of new school toilets with that money.

You seem to be implying that the government hasn't built tens if not hundreds of thousands of toilets in schools all over the country. Sure they might not always be well maintained but local people should have responsibility for this. We don't need another "socialist" system where the government is expected to do everything.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

If it was, I can assure you I wasn’t implying that at all, I was just puzzled by mannanman’s odd response to a perfectly reasonable observation, that the money spent on the new statues would have (not necessarily should have) paid for a lot of school toilets.

Yes, maybe the US should not have erected the Statue of Liberty because they had some sanitation issues in NYC at the time.

If the locals were left to take care of the toilets, they would be even worse than they are now or they will charge 500 reil to use them.John Bingham wrote: ↑Sun Apr 17, 2022 2:58 am You seem to be implying that the government hasn't built tens if not hundreds of thousands of toilets in schools all over the country.

It’s not so much if I think he’s built toilets. It’s the fact he thinks that a statue won’t bring better living conditions (and toilets) through increased tourism. If he wants to see nice shiny toilets take a look along the beach.Chad Sexington wrote: ↑Sun Apr 17, 2022 12:16 amI’m just curious, because you seem to be implying that unless DankSinatra himself has built toilets for schools, he should not expect the government to spend money building toilets for schools.

Can’t find any info on the statue but seeing it was smelted in China I’m betting it’s a gift.
People of the world, spice up your life.
