The Kingdom of Cambodia (formerly known as Kampuchea) is a country in South East Asia with a population of over 14 million people. The kingdom’s capital and largest city is Phnom Penh. Cambodia is the successor state of the once powerful Hindu and Buddhist Khmer Empire, which ruled most of the Indochinese Peninsula between the eleventh and fourteenth centuries.
A citizen of Cambodia is usually identified as “Cambodian” or “Khmer,” though the latter strictly refers to ethnic Khmers. Most Cambodians are Theravada Buddhists of Khmer extraction, but the country also has a substantial number of predominantly Muslim Cham, as well as ethnic Chinese, Vietnamese and small animist hill tribes.
The country borders Thailand to its west and northwest, Laos to its northeast, and Vietnam to its east and southeast. In the south it faces the Gulf of Thailand. The geography of Cambodia is dominated by the Mekong river (colloquial Khmer: Tonle Thom or “the great river”) and the Tonlé Sap (”the fresh water lake”), an important source of fish. Its culture is heavily influenced by Thailand and Laos.

You think your so …
You think your so nice but in reality, your a devil deep down inside. Me, I’m 50% good, 50% evil. Pieces of like you brings out the evil in me. My life has been filled with so much hate that there is barely anymore good in me. If I ever saw you, I’d probably kick your ass.

I’m just saying, …
I’m just saying, maybe religion is not the way to believe anymore. Do you follow all the rules of a buddhist believer? I don’t think so, you have hate in your blood so shut the up! Don’t preach me your religious ways if you can’t follow it. One rule you should follow as buddhism, that is always be good to people no matter what. You calling me names, you. I ain’t no saint but I don’t pretend to be a good person like you. I hate pieces of like you.

You ever thought …
You ever thought maybe Pol Pot wasn’t an evil person? You ever thought maybe he isn’t responsible for the deaths? Your stupid bitch! You don’t know the truth, you just believe what you read. I don’t believe Pol Pot was evil, but at the same time, I don’t think he was good either. If you were any better than an evil person, you should then be careful with what words you type. “Moron?” Shut your face you fake nice person.

That was what Pol …
That was what Pol Pot think man! Moron!

I think it’s about …
I think it’s about time we Khmer stop worshiping these gods. Think about it, we Khmer been worshiping these gods for centuries and what happens? Evil/bad karma happens. It happened in the past and it’s happening now.
