🤢 These people are sick! 🤮
the 'foreign' place is East Timor.
Timor-Leste became an independent nation in 2002, following over four hundred years of Portuguese colonization, twenty-four years of Indonesian occupation, and three years of United Nations transitional administration. The country faces the challenge of building a strong democracy and vibrant economy against a background of still-fragile institutions and limited human capital.
Is it just me, or are sex crimes against children coming out all over the place now?
I'm not sure if it's just because I'm paying more attention to things or if they've been pretty consistent.
Foreign place? Like in the back of a buick?
Yeah, I was wondering about that myself, but more likely an import like a Honda being a "foreign" place.
Indeed, wasn't sure how far off I should paraphrase the quote though!
