Primitive Mentality

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

At least one of us (with some professional background) thinks you need help. But I suspect you've heard that before.

Incidentally, starting a thread does not make it yours.

Question. No matter how far 440 has their heads up their rectums, you were NOT ostracized from there without reason. Why on God's earth did you continue it here? If you genuinely thought it was going to fly, consider getting that help. The reason you're getting no sympathy here is that your attitude and aggression simply piss people off. Don't delude yourself that it's anything else.

I was reading up on the childhood factors that contribute to a messiah complex last night. You might want to do the same.
Are you from Khmer440 as well? only people from that forum come over here to criticize the new users because they can't actually debate or just go off topic.
With that question any credibility you had went out the window. Stroppy is probable the last person, any sane human being would accuse of acting on behalf of 440. :hattip:

OP's NAÏVETÉ' would be more bearable if he weren't quite so vociferous about starting a second UNTAC mission and saving a country single-handedly.

Remember the Kent State shootings?
The Kent State shootings (also known as the May 4 massacre or the Kent State massacre)[1][2][3] occurred at Kent State University in the US city of Kent, Ohio, and involved the shooting of unarmed college students by the Ohio National Guard on Monday, May 4, 1970. The guardsmen fired 67 rounds over a period of 13 seconds, killing four students and wounding nine others, one of whom suffered permanent paralysis.[4][5]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kent_State_shootings

Some of the students who were shot had been protesting the Cambodian Campaign, which President Richard Nixon announced during a television address on April 30. Other students who were shot had been walking nearby or observing the protest from a distance.[6][7]

I think Captain Rogering doesn't know the difference between primitive and different.

It's not about intolerance it's about having humanity as an individual as a result of the Khmer Rouge and people in power right now Cambodians have lost a bit of humanity. I or WE can teach Cambodians. e.g. compassion, selflessness, honesty, responsibility, consideration for others, etc etc...... these things are not just my ideas they are ideas of what a person should follow as an individual. 1.Honesty to ensure that people trust you, 2.Responsibility to ensure that things get resolved in a timely manner, 3.Selflessness to ensure that we give things unconditionally, Compassionate to ensure that we can 4.learn how to forgive people for petty or severe things, Consideration to ensure that we can help others when they are hurt or struggling in life. All these things happen to all of us and SOME Cambodians lack these traits because of what happened to them. Alright here is other examples I sometimes have speeches and one of things I mention is help others who are less unfortunate, if somebody falls down go and ask that person if he/she is alright and if there is anything you can do for them, if you see a person having a bad day talk to them you might make that person feel better by talking to them, If you happen to see money at your work place on the ground ask who's is it? if nobody answers turn it to the receptionist, It's all about principles and human traits nothing wrong with that. What's wrong in teaching the locals about what I wrote? nothing! because these are good deeds that will be passed down to others. Positive Influence goes a long way I always ask WHY THE FUCK NOT? :hattip:

So, what's keeping you from actually starting to educate the Cambodian people? So far, all we hear and see is you moaning and whining about it on an expat forum, not exactly the place you ought be when you want to educate the Cambodians, now is it? :facepalm:

Well, anyhow, I wish you the best of luck with your admirable endeavors, seriously...
