I'm not a kindof people who like to tag anyone my pictures,but it seems no sense when I write English without Khmer word such as : na, phong, te...
Me too, i would never tag anyone my picture unless the person was in the picture with me, However, since i joined facebook i rarely tagged picture to people. It kinda look sexy when you always have the word na na at the end of the status isn't it? :)

If you know a lot, know enough to make them respect you, if you are stupid, be stupid enough so they can pity you.

To answer your question you would have to read about my stance on what I think about SOME Khmer people. Khmer people can be ignorant and arrogant to a lot of things which is hard to determine what are their weak points. Although one particular problem I had with SOME Khmer people was that they are too proud to admit their mistakes and that I'm sure pisses everybody off. While I do understand the concept of saving face it's just a moronic way of thinking things.

Hey Captain, i did read all your stances about Cambodian. I can't say that they all are wrong as i agreed with some of your takes about Cambodia and its people. However, what i don't like is how you expressed your ideas, i might be wrong, but i felt like you used a lot of offensive words like calling us uncivilized people which really pissed me off sometime and discouraged me to share my views with you.
If i were you i would respect people way of thinking regardless of race, gender, sex and sexual orientation. What you think is wrong doesn't mean other people think it is wrong too.

This is quite a good example of what Khmers may not know about westerners. ie. SOME Khmers may not realise that SOME westerners are operating on limited brain function.
But actually, I think that most Khmers get this and are very tolerant for the most part when dealing with it. %)

Don't get too concerned about it. Pretty much everyone here has figured that it's "Captain Steve Rogers" who is ignorant and arrogant. To be honest I do believe the guy is a deluded fool who has serious mental problems.
Silence, exile, and cunning.
