Let me take the time to explain. Perhaps, I did not do a good job of explaining myself before.
Let‘s start with some ground rules. Let both of us agree that we are not going to engage in personal attacks. Let’s stick to the ideas. Because you often use this phrase “Cambodian People,” I would like to deserve the rights to defense any Cambodian or any political party if necessary that includes the CPP, the SRP, The FUNCIPEC, and other. They are all Cambodian people to me. Since I am a Cambodian, they are my people. One of the things that make it hard for anyone of us who are Khmer to respond to your statement is this. Your statements often are very general. General statement is very difficult to understand let alone to respond. For example, you said, “Cambodian people think about their own righteousness. They would bully themselves into situation. Then they would turn to attack one's personality instead when they have no way to back up their own claim. This is a typical Cambodian behavior.” The phrase “Cambodian people” is very general. With that phrase alone, I have no idea to whom you are alluding. Cambodian people are those who were born or migrated to a country that is known internationally as Cambodia. Now, when you made statement such as this, “Cambodian people think about their own righteousness,” I scratched my head. It is a false statement. A few may have this attitude, but Cambodian people? All of us think about think about our own righteousness? That does not make sense. The rest of your statements contain the same characteristics. What is a typical Cambodian behavior? Unless you want to write a book about a typical Cambodian behavior, I don’t think you can justify your statement with just a few paragraphs. Otherwise, I will continue to say that your statements are not valid. And it makes no sense to debate on invalid statements. This is the type of frustration we Khmer run into when we try to debate or to dialogue with you. Even I try to do it in good faith, I cannot possibly keep up. It is not that I am not capable to defense myself. Most of the time, your statements do not make any sense. Thus far, I stick to the statements and the idea. No personal attack here. I hope to hearing from you soon.
