Western girls in Bikinis degrading Buddha Statue

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

Can't you put the offending posts in a 'Spoiler' for those that missed it.
It could be called educational so that others will know what is acceptable and what is not,
Misoginy is not educational.
What does that statement have to do with showing posts that had others banned from the forum ?

The original post would not tell you anything of use. If you're stupid enough to post something like that... seeing it won't stop you from being that stupid. If you're not, and 99.999% of people aren't that stupid, you don't need to see it anyway.

Upon reflection, maybe not very much, my point was to state that is was a mysoginist attitude that got this particular poster (temporarily) banned from this board.
It's obviously up to the mods to decide about your idea, personally I think there's no place for mysoginists on this board, Spoiler or no Spoiler. Anyone with half a brain could expect to be banned when behaving like that.

I would agree that misogyny is undesirable.
The spoilers show pictures etc which are not acceptable to post.
It's obvious that LSJ just likes to just push it too far, then he will pop up with yet another user name and do it again, but I'm not just talking about his posts but all posts that get others banned.
I personally kind of enjoy devils advocates and shit stirring posts :stir: Sometimes I will post something obtuse just to inspire a little thinking.

^^I agree with "stuff" to get people to start thinking as it is all too often humans are content with resting on their laurels and nothing new ever comes about whether it be ways of thinking or ways of doing things. Unfortunately there is that fine line between being labeled a forward thinker and being labeled a nutter.

Prahkeitouj, they are tourists. You have to understand, they pay a lot of money to travel to somewhere new. To experience a new culture. And then they feel entitled to whinge and whine and even worse - belittle the locals beliefs - because they are not the same as their own. Much like a lot of the apologists on this thread actually, who can't seem to get over the fact that just because THEY don't care, anybody that thinks it wrong is a religious fanatic.Fuck off back to where you come from and feel at ease with the culture,would be my advice to these people, because you are not wanted here.
For the record - my belief in religion,is non existent.In fact after being brought up catholic, its a fuk load worse then that with christianity. But I'm realistic enough to know that many people who, worship many different deities, would find this act abhorrently disrespectful of another culture - as I do.

:facepalm: I started a response four or five times, but keep erasing it. :bow: I honor you, sir, with a salute for the most asinine, stupidest post I have read in a looooooong while. I'm surprised you didn't culminate with a throaty, stick-waving shout of, Get off my grass.

So, politely old man, Fuck You too, haha.

My first time at using the karma button GonzoBobH. Don't bother to thank me.
Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.
