Hey you Viet troller/pimp/parasite/plunderer @3:32AM,
You Viet troller/intruder admitted yourself here on KI-Media to being a Viet-born and national.
You Viet troller/intruder have been dumping tons of trashes here on KI-Media over God knows for how long.
You Viet troller/intruder pretend to be Cambodian/Khmer speaking up for Cambodian/Khmer and giving Cambodian/Khmer a bad name.
You Viet troller/intruder trash everybody here on KI-Media calling Cambodian/Khmer all sort of names to boast, to sabotage and to destroy Cambodian/Khmer for the benefit of you Viet intruder/plunderer....
Now, you Viet trash/troller/intruder/parasite call that a debate?
Does history and now a live example of you Viet trash/troller here on KI-Media tell Cambodian/Khmer anything about the Viet's trustworthiness?
Cambodian/Khmer and the whole world see and know the true colors of you Viet troller/intruder/invader/plunderer/parasite too well already.
In plain and simple English, now, and again what part of you "getting the fuck out of KI-Media" don't you understand huh you fucking Viet troller/intruder/pimp/plunderer?
Let's see you Viet pimp/parasite's tail between your legs and run on home out of KI-Media now!
Go home Viet, go home!
You will hurt the Viet and not hurting us Cambodian/Khmer by hanging around here on KI-Media and having made such a comment.
Go home Viet, go home!
The world sees and knows you Viet true colors already!!!
i hope all khmer will support this move as it is a sign of national pride to have a national airlines like the rest of the world do. studies after studies in the west have shown that being optimistic and hopeful will give strength to will power and successful and satisfaction achievement, otherwise, cynicism won't get anything going and everything will stay stagnate. so all things got to start somewhere as it is never too late at all.
