The 5 stages of 'who gives a f*ck?'

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.

The 5 stages of 'who gives a f*ck?'

Post by vladimir »

I was chatting to a German guy yesterday, and it was interesting that his views on the important issues for this country were almost totally different to mine.

The 5 levels on a German expat's ’Give a f*ck-o-meter’. (level 5 is the highest)

1. There is a huge political protest march
Response: Sam Who?

2. Protesters/critics get killed/injured
Response: Pass me another beer

3. There is a power failure
Response: I hope it’s not for long, the beer will get warm.

4. The government cracks down on girlie bars
Bloody dictatorship we live in! This is a sign of bad things to come, mark my words…pass me another beer.

5. Alcohol and cigarettes are targeted for taxation
Response: Jeezuz! When are America and the UN going to do something? Can’t they see what is happening here? Have they
abandoned us? This is criminal! Bloody KR are still with us! Save us!
Jesus loves you...Mexico is great, right? ;)

LoL, mine start at the bottom of that list and move up.
