Yet another excellent observation presented for discussion. Bottom-
line is...LAOS has and will always be on the bottom of the pit hole.
Let’s admit it, the picture is clearly stated in that the thugs and
whores in Vientiane has no clue what it mean to be a self-sufficient,
self-sustainable nation. The nation runs on others' generosity, that's
it! Once the "welfare" checks stop coming in...The thugs and whores
would do anything to sell off the nation's natural resources as they
are currently doing now as we speak. It has NO manufactures, no
banking industries, no commercial/private business enterprises, no
working laws... AND NO trained professional human resources which play
a critical role as the nation's primary backbone. NOTHING!!!
Here's what Laos currently and proudly offers....CHEAP SEX, CHEAP
labor, and CHEAP drugs! Did I miss anything else?
