Guess who's coming to Templetown

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.

MM: Its obvious you don't know very much about the American judicial system and the way attorneys/bar associations run America. Ignorance is bliss? America does not need one attorney for every 365 citizens, nor laws like the VAWA/Domestic Violence Industry or congress to fund the Legal Services Corporation (welfare for feminist/homosexual attorneys and attorneys that can't make it on their own.) Nor 2,200,000+ people (mostly men) in jails/prisons. Look this stuff up, its out there. We also don't need the thousands and thousands of tax attorneys that feed off the ridiculous and complicated federal income tax laws. Its a big daisy-chain of attorneys.

Just because Obama-Ibem-Lying and his wife aren't the first president/first lady to abuse the perks of office doesn't make it right. Old Hillary Clinton was/is a great abuser of the system. I believe a once famous French women said: "let them eat cake." What happened to her should happen to the elitists/attorneys that have taken over our government both Republican and Democrat. Why not a president/first lady that set an example for the American people, not one we are constantly embarrassed of.

Dr. Ben Carson for President (He's not an attorney or beholding to the bar associations so they won't let him run. Youtube him for an education.) There would be an America president I would be proud of.

I know who Ben Carson is. You know Bush wasn't an attorney, right? I actually know a lot about the American justice system and I'm not a racist twat to boot. The rest of your post merits no response. Btw, I'm not at all surprised to learn you're a vet. How's that free socialized healthcare working out for you? I'm assuming that based on your beliefs, you've never gone to a VA hospital.

MM: Any post to you is just "pearls before swine." Yes, Bush wasn't an attorney, but was beholding to them for his election as are almost all recent presidents. Having spent 4 long years defending myself in the corrupt judicial system and facing 17 different attorneys (by myself) I have a pretty good grasp of its corrupt framework. BTW/ The number one criminal attorney in the Pacific Northwest of America called my 40 page court briefs as good or better than any by an attorney he has ever seen. (missed my calling)

Have you ever defended yourself in court? Until your sucked into the system don't tell me you know jack about it. That's kind of like having sex without the women present, if you get my drift.

So you never served your country? How sad. Well, some are doers and some just set on their ass and spout drivel. I served my country and am proud of it. I can say I have given back to my country instead of taking from it. VA Hospital? Well, I know one America here in Cambodia that just had his life saved by a VA hospital. I have medical from my work for the government, but could use the VA benefits if I wanted too. BTW/ Instead of being drafted into the military (yes I'm that old) I enlisted in the US Coast Guard and was trained to save lives (and defend my country if need be.)

"Racist Twit." That's really an ignorant statement if your aiming it at me. I'm for Dr. Ben Carson to run for president, and he's an American of African heritage. My good friend in America got me my last job, which lasted 16 years and he is of African heritage. I was married to a Thai national for 14 years. My 16 year old son is part Thai heritage. A lot of my friends in Alaska are Native Americans and/or Eskimo. And my two best friends in Cambodia, who I would trust with my life are Cambodian. Now look who sounds like a sh*t-stirring twit?

It is so obvious you're just mad because you got what you perceive as an unfair shake with your divorce settlement. I've never had to defend myself before a court, no, but I'm not sure the relevance since we don't even disagree that our judicial system needs reform: In fact, I wrote this:
Attorneys are necessary in society. Our justice system needs reform, but hating everyone with a law degree is a pretty idiotic way to express that need.
So clearly we're not in disagreement over this. But then you take it to this whole other level, as if there is some grand conspiracy involving lawyers. Ben Carson won't get nominated because he isn't a serious candidate. His views are too right-wing for the United States and he has no name recognition or experience. It has nothing to do with him not being a lawyer.

I didn't say you were racist against any of the groups you mentioned. It is clear I was referring to your post a few days ago where you wrote this:
if a Beaner was laying in the street bleeding I'd leave him alone and let nature take its course
Pretty obvious you don't like latinos.

No, I've never "served my country" as you put it. Considering the recent history of US interventions and conflicts, I could never ethically consider joining our military. It would be feeding the exact machine that I want to starve. I do find it funny that you joined the Coast Guard to avoid being drafted into the actual military though (the George Bush specialty), and are now trying to dress that up as some sort of achievement.

My point about the VA is that all you have to do is serve four years in the miltary and you've got free healthcare for life, yet you're always crying about socialism this and that... why don't you think we should dismantle the VA? Why is this one government job more special than the next? Why shouldn't teachers get their own government hospitals? They serve our country far more than any soldier since the WWII era has.

As said before "Pearls Before Swine." US Coast Guard not part of the military? Kind of shows your ignorance. Who do you think got the guys to shore on D-day or the landings on islands in the Pacific during WWII, under sometimes extreme gunfire as a landing craft makes a good target? We not only had to learn to shoot guns and fight, but we had the added job of learning to save lives. There is an unwritten moto in the Guard about having to save people on ships and in storms when even the US Navy won't leave port. "You have to go out, but you don't have to come back." BTW/ The Coast Guard was in Vietnam. I missed the Vietnam deployment on the last Cutter I was on by a couple months as my enlistment was up.

Go to Alaska and have your boat start sinking out from under you and see who comes to save you? Its called a SAR mission (Search and Rescue mission.) They come up to your boat with a helo in all kinds of weather and a Coasty jumps out of the helo into freezing water with just fins, a mask, and a wet/dry suit. These are some kind of hero's in my book as I have spent years on ships in Alaskan waters.

"Could never ethically consider joining the military." In my book that's called "coward." Lucky your kind weren't around at Lexington and Concord or I would be a British subject.

Hah, I would have fought the Brits! I am not a pacifist, but America's track record sucks. I refuse to feed the machine. Given the overwhelming nationalism that permeates our society, I'd say I'm a bit braver for speaking out. You joined the coast guard, which as you acknowledged is basically a glorified search and rescue team, to avoid active duty. You have never seen combat (deliberately), yet call me a coward. If I was drafted to fight an unjust war, I'd have the dignity to be a conscientious objector rather then join the Bay Watch of military branches in order to avoid fighting. At least I'd be consistent with my principles.

"Glorified Search and Rescue team?" Get Fuc*ing real. Let me spell it out for you. You are a COWARD that doesn't give anything back to your country. Unfortunately there are a lot of drones around like you these days. Do some research on the US Coast Guard. Unlike you, there are/were a lot of hero Coasties that defended our country. Research the Coast Guard in WWII and Korean conflict and Vietnam (operation Market Garden in which the last cutter I was on, The USCGC Winona had an epic shootout with a Viet-Cong ship.)

Believe me, I hate my government, with good reason, but love my country.

Also you try going out in 100+mph winds and ocean waves you look up and the water is 28 degrees F. all because you have to save lives and people depend on you. I volunteered for the Coast Guard, I volunteered for 5 years on a fire department, I volunteered for 2 years as an Emergency Medical Technician, etc. etc. What have you given back? Probably nothing. You ever hold someone's life in your hands or delivered a baby into the world, probibly not, but I have, so go pound sand as that's probably all you can do. I almost feel sorry for you as so far it looks like you have lead a pointless existence. Done anything worth writing about or just been a drone all your life?

So some "coasties" have fought? You didn't and you knew your chances of fighting were lower if you were in the Coast Guard. Get fucking real yourself; everyone knew then and acknowledges now that the Coast Guard was a way to avoid getting drafted into the real military.

You did a job, you're not a hero, you're not special. If anything, you're a coward because you can't actually take a principled stand. The redneck in you wanted to fight to "serve your country" in a needless conflict, but the coward in you wanted to avoid death, so you did what all the rest in that situation and did and joined the Coast Guard. As I said before, if I was drafted to fight in a war I disagreed with, I would sit in prison and stand by my principles. If I was drafted to fight in a war I agreed with, I would fight - in the actual military.

Bla Bla Bla that's all I get from a useless coward like you. I sleep real good at night knowing that there are people walking around alive because of me, and also people that I brought into this world. Done anything in your useless life except post drivel on the internet and stir-sh*t. I think not. My guess is that you work for one of those useless, money sucking NGOs or are not even in Cambodia, but in boomfock yuppy California or the like.

Vietnam background: In 1965 I had two high school friends come back in body bags from Vietnam. Up to that point I was all for going to an exotic country and killing the population, but I realized the powers that be in Washington DC were not going to let us win and/or fight a proper war. I looked around and decided the best way to give back to my country was to join a military service that knew how to fight, but also saved lives, the US Coast Guard. Done anything for your country, probably not. Prison is probably a good place for you as you haven't shown any accomplishments you have done in your pointless life. Saved a life lately? Put your life on the line for others, ever? (I have.)
