Blimey...that sounds nasty... 8O

I'm planning on going to Cambodia in November this year (seriously), but only to Siem Reap to see the famous Angkor Wat, which is in the west of the country (think Lara Croft and Tomb Raider and you'll know what I mean).

I'll make sure I take my Jungle Formula and Doxycycline to keep them peskie mosquitoes at bay...

[pup]

ok who's up for a TR meet up in cambodia in November?

im in

[DirtySanchez]

Yeah Pup - but that' because you quite fancy being a Marxist genocidal maniac right?

Pol Pott Noodle anyone?

[Wags]

Well Pol Pot died 7 years ago (15/4/1998)...and the country is slowly being re-built....Tourism will bring postives and negatives, but in my view is important for the economic development of this country.

-Brief history lesson-

Between 1969 and 1973, U.S. bombing missions over the country killed perhaps three-quarters of a million Cambodians in an 'attempt' to destroy North Vietnamese supply bases, many of which didn't actually exist.

During one six-month period in 1973, American B-52s dropped more bombs on Cambodians, living mostly in straw huts, than were dropped on Japan during all of World War II, the equivalent of five Hiroshimas.

Evidence from U.S. official documents, de-classified in 1987, leaves no doubt that the U.S. terror was critical in destabilising the country and leading to Pol Pot's drive for power.

Then, as a result of Pol Pot's Stalinist regime, 25% of the 6 million population were murdered, starved or died from disease.

Makes Hitler seem like a moderate... :twisted:

talknig of Marx, heres one of my fave quotes from him

"Anyone who knows anything of history knows that great social changes are impossible without feminine upheaval. Social progress can be measured exactly by the social position of the fair sex, the ugly ones included. "

So you been to school for a year or two
And you know you've seen it all
In daddy's car thinkin' you'll go far
Back east your type don't crawl
Play ethnicky jazz to parade your snazz
On your five grand stereo
Braggin that you know how the niggers feel cold
And the slums got so much soul

It's time to taste what you most fear
Right Guard will not help you here
Brace yourself, my dear

It's a holiday in Cambodia
It's tough kid, but it's life
It's a holiday in Cambodia
Don't forget to pack a wife

Your a star-belly sneech you suck like a leech
You want everyone to act like you
Kiss ass while you bitch so you can get rich
But your boss gets richer on you
Well you'll work harder with a gun in your back
For a bowl of rice a day
Slave for soldiers til you starve
Then your head skewered on a stake
Now you can go where people are one
Now you can go where they get things done
What you need my son:

Is a holiday in Cambodia
Where people dress in black
A holiday in Cambodia
Where you'll kiss ass or crack

Pol Pot, Pol Pot, Pol Pot, Pol Pot [etc.]

And it's a holiday in Cambodia
Where you'll do what you're told
A holiday in Cambodia
Where the slums got so much soul

Well, they spelt Quan'sul wrong, it should be Quan Su and the date of the story is another giveaway... :D

[Rogue_Trooper]

Smells like a hoax to me


It was dated the April the 1st.....There's your answer :roll: :)

[Wags]

...Also Quan Su is in Vietnam, not Cambodia. I believe there is the 'Quan Su Pagoda' in Hanoi.

Also, approximately 93 percent of the population of Camdodia is Hinayana or Theravada Buddhist and therefore sacrificing a dog would be breaking one of the Five Precepts which is that one must not deliberately kill any living creature. So, unless they were non-Buddhist people or extras from Apocalypse Now living with Col.Kurtz, this would also be a bit of a mis-truth... :roll:

Still, a good April Fools joke.... :lol:

[DirtySanchez]

A friend was telling me that he met a guy in Kampuchea who for a few quid would let you shoot some machine guns at old tank hulks.

For 2 grand though, he said had a guided missile that you could shoot at a cow but I reckon it would really just be an RPG, rather than a stinger, so 2Gs would be a rip-off.

Mind you I guess after you fired the thing, you've also got lunch ready made as long as you like BBQ beef.

i went the fair in southport and used an air gun for 2 poonds. :D

[BuLLiTT]

:? so they dont eat any meat then?, or perhaps they ask the intended pig very calmingly and nicely if it doesnt mind being cooked then chopped up into bite-size pieces??? mmm i cannot stand these religeous hipocrits who purport to be 'at one' with the world, then go down the road and shoot someone who's not in their religion. :? :wink:

[Wags]

Buddhists are not all vegetarian - it's the killing, not the eating bit that is important here !

BTW, a true Buddhist would not 'kill' someone for not being Buddhist, that would be quite unacceptable. In fact, there has never been a war in the name of the 'Buddha', which would be quite contrary to Buddha's teachings. Contrast this with Christianity, Islam etc.
