Dear Kangaroo, I am not trying too hard at all. It is not my nature to compete or to confront. I only do it when I absolutely have to. And I can do it effortlessly.
I am trying to prove a point. And the point is some in this forum have been making an ass of themselves ( using your word- I don't curse) for a very long time and don't even know it. My real point is insulting a culture or a people is never okay. One can do it once or twice but not doing it all the time and thinking that he or she can get away with it. As much as I value your opinion and others' opinion here, I wish that you stop insulting Cambodian people the way you have done in the past. We all knew what happened to our people and to our country. I thank you for your understanding in this matter.
