By Khmer Democrat, Phnom Penh
Freedom of expression is a pillar of democracy, the axioms "agree to disagree" and "constructive criticism" its foundation. It connotes responsibility and civility. Civility means politeness, yes, but includes humor, satire to get its message across. What runs counter to civility is vulgar language and lies.
For the supporters of Cambodian democracy and territorial integrity, law and morality are on our side. We do not need to resort to vulgarity, which only obscures the larger substantive message of what we want to say.
However, I have the suspicion that many times these vulgar postings are the work of anti-democrats and professional watchers of KI Media to discredit it and stem its power and rapidly growing influence.
Let's learn to argue with ideas and stick to the issue: the issue is INJUSTICE, that of rampant violations of human rights, of breaching international legal principles of territorial sovereignty.
For you who are planted to be vulgar, I believe in the transformation of people, so there's still hope for you.
Thank you, Khmer Democrat, for this! Well said!

I agree with 3:42PM,
ReplyDeleteHun Xen is a role model; he must bahve and talk respectably in public. In contrast, this vulgar, cocky, lowlife rustic shows no moral value to be a leader of Khmer people. He's more a dictator than a leader.
correction: behave
ReplyDeleteagreed totally with the article above! keep it civilized and not personalized! they say think objectively(idea, goal), not subjectively(human character)!
