A new hub for "Perfect Families"

Yeah, where are the awards for families where the children run off to Thailand and only see their parents once every 3-10+ years? "Oh, grandma just died? Send the family my best, I've adopted another family here in Issarn."

What an absurdly silly poll.

I was just thinking that myself

Great family man? He cared so much about his daughter's admission in a university that the scores were changed for her, asking her to study a bit more or try somewhere else was of course a ridiculous idea.

Bra-vo ... Setting a nice example for his children. "If you're not smart enough to make your way through life, buy your way through. I did! See? I was elected once again "

Come on Heng, do you seriously think that this poll is not "absurdly silly"??

April Fools joke that appeared late perhaps?

What a buch of BS. How could anyone use him as a good example of anything?

Yes, I do agree that it's a rather silly poll. My post was my standard jovial counter to some other (likewise?) playful posts.

ABAC want to be able to publish their poll in the run up to the next election.

2,855 x .739 = 2,110 people..... not difficult at all to find 2110 severely psychotic individuals suffering extreme delusions in a city of 11 million people.
