Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO.

They could go and see Dr Biber for a catoplasty. :lol: From South park --- Gerald travels to the Institute in order to confront Dr. Biber, who spots Gerald's dolphin shirt, appeals to his affinity for dolphins and convinces him to undergo "dolphinoplasty", surgically altering his appearance to resemble a dolphin's

We also told them Santa Claus exists only for the fraud is uncovered by themselves as soon as they went to school.

God, on the other hand, is for life if you're born into the wrong tribe.

You should take this argument to every Wat and Mosque in Cambodia and let us know how it works out for you.

This is another consequence of over indulging kids, rather than checking and admonishing behavior that is quite unsuitable for a year 8 (13 or 14 year old) student, it’s practically being encouraged. It’s one thing kids pushing boundaries, but when no boundaries are enforced, kids will either assume they’re in charge, or keep acting up until someone finally does check them (which may be too late, and the kid has probably developed into a self entitled narcissist, or worse)
Blame soft parents and modern teaching practices whereby it’s assumed there are no bad kids, nobody gets reprimanded or punished. Instead, excuse’s are made to justify students often outrageous behavior, and everyone is rewarded regardless of their behavior, effort or ability.

Maybe it was just a simple misunderstanding by the girl when her boyfriend made a comment about pussy.

Now that we’ve blurred the boundaries of kids thinking they’re animals, and animals thinking they’re gods…

I give you Anubis

And Bastet.

Those ancient Egyptians had some interesting ideas. So not a lot of this is new.

Now. The Hindu gods/kids/people can be equally entertaining.

Sydney's Club 77 cracks down on harassment, including staring and unwanted attention

A Sydney nightclub has been praised for adopting a safety policy that includes potentially removing patrons who are staring at nightclub goers without their consent.

Key points:
Unwanted staring and leering are examples of sexual harassment, according to the Australian Human Rights Commission
Club 77's owner says the new safety policy mimics others being implemented around the world
The move is being applauded by many, but has led to some people leaving negative reviews online
Club 77, in the inner-city suburb of Darlinghurst, will have a security guard wearing a high-visibility pink vest who can be approached by patrons who feel they are being harassed.

Dane Gorrel says the club is creating a safe space for people to enjoy their night.

"Harassment is a big issue … that we've seen happening around the world, especially in venues," Mr Gorrel told ABC Radio Sydney Breakfast presenter James Valentine.

"We're just trying to be one step ahead of it.

"Any unwanted attention is deemed as harassment and it's just being dealt with accordingly now."

Mr Gorrel said the club updated its safety policy after speaking to people in the community and in local and international music scenes.

"We're just sort of adopting the same similar practices [that are] happening all around the world with venues like ours," Mr Gorrel said.

The club announced the update to its safety and harassment policy to its patrons in an Instagram post, saying any engagement must begin with verbal consent.

"This also applies if you are, for example, staring at someone from afar," the post said.

"If the attention you are giving someone is unwanted, that is considered harassment."

Staring and leering are considered examples of sexual harassment, according to the Australian Human Rights Commission.

Be cool or be kicked out
Vice-chair of the Night Time Industries Association and former Venue 505 owner Kerri Glasscock said she was happy to see the proactive promotion of a safe environment.


She said she always felt she had to be on the alert when she went out as a young woman.

"We constantly dealt with unwanted attention and harassment, pretty much nightly," Ms Glasscock said.

"It's fantastic to see people, you know, not waiting until something terrible happens."

Ms Glasscock said her old venue – a jazz club in the city – had zero tolerance for harassment.

"We just were really mindful of creating an environment that was safe and where people could just be themselves," she said.

"We would always kick someone out if they were not being cool."

Olivia texted ABC Radio Sydney to label Club 77's decision a "game changer".

"I'm a 31-year-old woman and it's such a pain when you have a creep who is staring at you or following you around and security are not paying attention, even when you try and alert them," Olivia said.

Internet users offended by the change have been targeting the club's online by giving it one-star reviews.
