Some how I don't think that type of move goes over well on the field or in NFL locker rooms.

Let me just give my best Ben Carson gays and jail impersonation…

NFL players go into the locker room against the oil check, but when they come out and take the field there’s a lot of oil checking. So we have to ask ourselves, did something happen in the locker room?

Lets get that ESPN guy Adam Schefter to investigate this....
We deserve to know the truth. But then again,

Shocked the US is 29th. Should be 50th or lower.
Bunch of imbiciles in this country.

Also Belarus at #7 stands out as a one-off. Makes me think someone lied about that country.

People who make good money want to hold onto it so they have a tendency to not want to be corrupt and risk losing it. Monetary systems in rich countries have some safeguards to prevent corruption for the same reason.

Every country has corruption though, even the rich ones. But I think it's a matter of degree.

I am all for corruption, it is one of the reasons I love living here so much. I am a huge advocate for the way things are done in this part of the world.

I know what you mean. There is an advantage to that at time, isn't there.

I had a friend from the US that ran a scuba diving company in Phuket. He told me he had to pay "protection money" to organized crime in order to run his business.

Still, if that was a problem he would have got out of the business. He thought it was just another business cost like equipment or taxes or such.

Every single business here, from a clothing shop to cell phone store to selling fruit to anything pays "tax" and not to the government. I pay a monthly tax for my business too, nobody gets out of doing it. It is how things are run here.

This list is regulated only. In Bavet and Sihanoukville there are over 120 casinos between both of the SEZ zones. All unlicensed.
