And what is your problem? I don't seem to understand what you are saying. You said that you have a problem. What is that problem? If you said it is my opinion, what is the problem? If you disagree with it, why can't you explain why you disagree with it? And you mentioned something about splitting the society further. I really don't understand what you are trying to say. > As far as I can remember neither there is no record of war or conflict > between Kampucheans and Khmers nor is there a record of war or > conflict between Khmers and Cambodians.

Do you know who ran the kingdom of Cambodia? Was it Sihanouk? Do you know who ran the republic of Cambodia? Was it Lon Nol? Do you know who ran the Khmer Rouge? Weren't they Cambodians? Did all of these factions fight each other at one point or another? If you don't know any of these events, please check the history of Cambodia first before you say something about it. > War and conflict did occur due to preference of difference political > ideologies such as Communist vs. the Free world.

Cambodians cling to the culture of corruption and to practice the culture of impunity over no one but their own people in their own country. It happens from the top all the way to the bottom of the society. Actually, it is a part of the Cambodian culture. That's how they get the job done. Now, if you disagree with the above statement, what is yours. Explain us why you disagree with it. > You stated, “Cambodians have been fighting each other for a very long > time” > > In recent Cambodia's history, let me recount, for your information: > .

Cambodians fought each other in the past. I thought you said they did not. Now, you are saying that they had. > To say that, “Cambodians have been fighting each other for a very long > time,” is simply a fat exaggeration intended to belittling Cambodia > and Cambodian People. > How many decades had Cambodians fight each other? Did Sihanouk not fight communist group in Cambodia? Did Lon Nol regime not fight communist coalition in Cambodia? What did you call them? Cambodian querrels? > I hope you are conscious of the words and phrase you are using. > I hope you know what you are saying. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cambodia Discussion (CAMDISC) - www.cambodia.org" group.
