It is like tell yuons to stop to hate Khmer, to stop tricking and planning
the killing against Khmer and stop rapping Khmer land and resources. Leave
other people alone will. I have no common goal with yuons, with your kind
nor do I have common things or goal with the yuon tools here or there. The
problem with kind of people is to you mixed everything together, place
everything at the same level, in the same pack that your kind cant even
distingue one thing from other nor a thing and from a human, or a friend
from enemy.
Love, Tolerance, Compassion, courage those previous valor are shared
transmitted from my family and they are dared to me. And as previous valor
I wont share or soil with those who stink of crime and horrors from the
brain. And not only. This my message to that kind of horry skins. Remember
it well

Kangaroo,
I'd like to join Watkeo Kuma to encourage you to let go of your
past.
Most, if not all, of us have suffered enough.
Personally, I lost my dad to the Khmer Rouge.
I once was mad too. I used to blame politicians for my suffering. I
am free from that now.
You said,"I was very angry at Cambodia one time. You can't imagine how
much I
hated Cambodia." Without knowing the detail, I respect that.
By all mean, you have every rights under the sun to be mad and to hate
the country.
But deep down, I know you still love this country.
That is why you spend your energy here saying things to annoy us so
that we change our way.
Most of us who are here share that common bond. The bond that
Cambodia is the land of our birth.
Our political views may be all over the spectrum, but we love our
country. Although we are here, our hearts are at home. To some of us
there is no different whether we live here or there. The pains are
the same. When we see our fellow Khmers suffer, we suffer.
Some of us have more patience than others.
Some want thing to change overnight other say,' let the process takes
its course." Some get involve because he/she that it is his or her
birth right to be a leader.
Other say, "wait a minute you and your kind almost destroyed our
country, I am going to do anything in my power to keep you out."
Although we are Khmer, but we are human. And Human is not an exact
science. In this sense we are quite normal. We act pretty much the
same as any other races would act. This is why I refuse to accept
that we are a bad race - just because the Khmer Rouge did what they
did.
I do not much about human behavior, but I know this much.
Hate is not the answer to anything.
Some of us in this forum are very scary.
Listening to them I wonder if they are any different from the Khmer
Rouge or the person they are condemning.
I cannot imagine what these folks would do if they get a hold of
power.
The bottom line is please let go of you pains. And I also sincerely
ask for your forgiveness if I have acted inappropriately while
discussing this passionate issue in the heat of the moment.
Sincerely yours,
Jay

you were one time get angry with Cambodia that your past, I believe, but
let go
that past will make a new you again. Who are living where not the case of
limitation
on human communicate past and present. sharing the common story old and
new
doesn't matter where you are living, but will recall bad to good as age
growing up.
Saying something better than not saying a word, just like you go to the
temple and
listen to monks preaching morality. I knew you hate Cambodia for your
reason, I can't blame
you for your judgement.
