That does not make sense. > My friend, If you believe that you are a Cambodian, then my message is very clear. You don't need to translate. My opinion is targetting Cambodians. I bring out behavior, culture as the forefront of my criticism. That is very clear. However, there are some people who choose not to believe what they are reading. As you have seen many discussion around here, you see it again and again that they would come out and attack one's personality because they can't argue with the reality. Cambodians have been fighting each other and blame it on others. How can you argue with that statement? You just can't. Unfortunately, some have been trying. > The rest of your statements contain the same characteristics. > > What is a typical Cambodian behavior?

What is the frustration? You are trying to bring out the dialogue. What kind of dialogue is that? Are we supposed that Vietnamese has been behind the destruction of Cambodia in the last five decades as many of the people out there trying to make us believe? Do you know what they do when they are asked for evidence to prove their claim? They would turn around and attack you if you dare to ask. That's the typical Cambodian behavior. It's not hard to understand. > Thus far, I stick to the statements and the idea. No personal attack > here. > I don't know about that.
