Dear Kangaroo, I have a quick access to the internet here. It appears that my qualitative approach does not register with you. Not even a bit. Let me try the quantitative approach.
You said, “As far as I know, Cambodians bribe officials from the top all the way to the very bottom of the society to get things done. Then they cry how unfair it is. What is that?” Of the 14 million Cambodians (let us assume that there are 14 millions), in your knowledge how many are involving in act of bribery? A. 100%= All Cambodians or Cambodians B. 75%= Most Cambodians C. 50%= Half Cambodians D. 35%=less than half Cambodian What is your answer? Let us just stick to this issue.
