Cambodian Girl Upset People Taking Selfie with Dying Grandma

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.

Go read up on Buddhism then you might understand. granny si dying, she is leaving her poor weak and painful body and will soon be reborn, hopefully as a member of the elite if she was good or as a dog stew if she wasn't. It is mainly western cultures that fear death.
Sick is western journalists taking pictures of injured kids in war zones and no lifting a finger to help before, during or after taking the picture of the suffering.
Full of "itm my duty to record not intervene" bullshit

That dude who took a picture of the burnt girl after she got naped by her own compatriots, the ARVN, was a slope himself.
