Banan district, Batambang, Cambodia, a man drank a liter of wine and then demanded that his wife give him money to go buy cigarettes. The wife refused, which made the drunk man very irate.

The man insisted that if his wife didn't give him money to buy cigarettes, he would burn down their house. His wife still refused, yelling, "Go ahead! Burn down the house if you want to." And so he set his house on fire.

The couple and their seven children are now homeless.

Primitive khmer mentality indeed. No wonder the tais/viets look down on us.
So sad.

The bad man! As a man, he cannot earn money only to buy cigarettes n dare yell to his wife by setting the house on fire. What we can say for the such man? He is not as good as animal.

this is khmer society
we are the men, and are pleased to do whatever want to our women
if you don't satisfy us, we hurt you or burn the house, or both
we are doing this for the sake of mankind, not womankind
men shall carry out their duties and responsibilites as usual, because this is how our society function

What kind of idiotic ideology is this? This man has never really evolved from an ape so there's no point in educating a MONKEY.

Are you suggesting that killing two millions of their own people, throwing grenades at the demonstrators, using court systems to jail critics of government by leaders happened every where too not just Cambodia?
