Dreadlocked backpackers act like twats on Koh Rong

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.

There are probably dozens of insipid reasons. One good guess is that some of the bashers decided to settle down and become responsible only to discover that they miss their hedonistic days of youthful carefree behaviour and harbor envy toward any free spirited youthful activity. In a word they're angrily shaking their chains in jealousy.

Or. possibly, they realise what dickheads they were when they thought of doing stuff remotely similar to anything like this.

Free-spirited/youthful, respectful, no problem. Lots of locals fit into that category, and even some older people.

Unwashed, culturally disrespectful, problem.

But, feel free to embrace free-spirited and youthful, perhaps set up some liberal dancing parties at your home? ;)

How else would one expect a herd of dreadlocked backpackers to act, honestly?

:stir: Rasta dreads were specifically inspired (or culturally apropriated in the English language) by the Nazarites who were a Jewish religious order analogous with Christian monks.

Are you really arguing that all Rasta men and by extension all those black people and indeed white people who were dreads are antisemitic? Or is it just a hairstyle that people can choose to wear and are you just more than a little bit racist?
Everyone is equal. Everyone has a place. No one is written off, because there is worth and goodness in every life... That is the Republican ideal. And if we won't defend it, who will?

Shake those chains brothers. People who are having fun are beyond your sermonizing.

Before anybody kow-tows to lawyer-inspired rabidly-PC culture, be aware that Arabs are-Semites.

From wiki:

' In the racialist classifications of Carleton S. Coon, the Semitic peoples were considered to be members of the Caucasian race, not dissimilar in appearance to the neighbouring Indo-European, Northwest Caucasian, and Kartvelian-speaking peoples of the region.[10] As language studies are interwoven with cultural studies, the term also came to describe the religions (ancient Semitic and Abrahamic) and Semitic-speaking ethnicities as well as the history of these varied cultures as associated by close geographic and linguistic distribution.[11]

Some recent genetic studies have found (by analysis of the DNA of Semitic-speaking peoples) that they have some common ancestry. Although no significant common mitochondrial results have been found, Y-chromosomal links between Semitic-speaking peoples of the Middle East like Arabs, Jews, Mandaeans, Samaritans, and Assyrians have shown links, despite differences contributed from other groups (see Y-chromosomal Aaron).

A DNA study of Jews and Palestinian Arabs (including Bedouins) found that these were more closely related to each other than to neighboring Arabs.[12][13]

Genetic studies indicate that modern Jews (Ashkenazi, Sephardic and Mizrahi specifically), Levantine Arabs, Assyrians, Samaritans, Maronites, Druze, Mandaeans, and Mhallami, all have an ancient indigenous common Near Eastern heritage which can be genetically mapped back to the ancient Fertile Crescent, but often also display genetic profiles distinct from one another, indicating the different histories of these peoples.[14]'

An anti-Semite, is, therefore, by definition, anybody who hates Semites.

A lot of Semites who try to apply this racial grouping only to their clique for political gain, fall into this category.

They are opportunistic, lying racists.

OK, that's been cleared up, can the rastafari get showers?

If you are directing your questions towards a particular person or persons, you should culturally appropriate that poster or poster's original comments buy clicking on the icon with the quotation marks on their post.

If you want to see mites, take a close look at those hippies' dreadlocks.
