It looks like that you are getting it a little bit at a time. >So all those Khmer are not automatically > Cambodian. This is the reason that I said Khmer is not the same as > Cambodian in English. And this is the big confusion in the Khmer > language itself. > Now, you are going back to the words again. It doesn't matter which word you use, they are only citizen of Cambodia as long as the Cambodian government has granted them the citizenship. There is no confusion. You are confused yourself because you are concentrating on the words instead of the logic matter itself. Any inhabitants in Cambodia may or may not be citizens of Cambodia. > Look, each language must be the core of culture of one nation.

Look at America. There are alot of languages used by the American people. The principle of the constitution is the core of America. The principle of Cambodia is the core of Cambodia. Unfortunately, Cambodians have very little of that. > We should understand what means one nation's culture, which is the way > of live of its people such as the way they educate their children, the > way they play and listen music, the way they build their country, the > way they do businesses and technology, etc.. > One part of the Cambodian culture is to fight each other for their own rightiousness. One part of the Cambodian culture is to corrupt so they can practice a culture of impunity over no one but their own people. And many more..... > Kankaroo, please tell me why Cambodian needs English or France for > doing better education, if Khmer culture is so highly valuable than > others? I think It should be barbarian! > No, Cambodians don't need English or France to advance their own country. Actually, no English nor Frech will ever help Cambodians. Cambodians must help themselves if they want to advance their own nation. One of the things that they need to do is to cooperate instead of fighting each other. As you have seen, they have current government and an opposition who would oppose anything and everything that the current government is doing. Please tell me how they can achieve peace and prosperity among themselves. Look back at the Cambodian history. How many factions have they been fighting each other for power? How many times have you seen them changed faction? This is a serious part of the Cambodian past. They must look at it. Sam Rainsy and his clans need to look at it. Their action has not been improving the lives of Cambodia. Actually, they have been creating one of the same that they have had for many decades. That's what I am talking about. Sam Rainsy is hiding behind what so called democracy. Democracy will not be achieved if the act of doing it is to fight another part of the country. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cambodia Discussion (CAMDISC) - www.cambodia.org" group.
