Do you believe a Cambodian culture as it normally is a practice that a man marries with a girl means that he shall comply with norms, practices and others in relation to and suitable with his wife’s family. It could be described that getting married with a girl means that getting married with a family. Is that true? Hah Hah it may not be an easy in getting a family in Cambodia. Do you think so?

I would assume it is accurate to say that, “to marry a Cambodian girl means you have to marry into her family”. In the West, people call their “mother n’ law” by name. In Cambodia, you must address your mother n’ law just as you would your own biological mother.
Maybe I am old school, but I like the idea of marrying into a family, because it strengthens bonds and values long term relationship. I forgot what book it was, but there was a study that shows “arranged marriages” tends to last longer than Western style marriages. It is mostly due to culture, but personally, I do not object to arrange marriages, just as long as the “couple” agrees with it.

Bush is forever saying that democracies do not invade other countries and start wars. Well, he did just that. He invaded Iraq, started a war, and killed people. What do you think? Why has bush turned our country from a country of hope and prosperity to a country of belligerence and fear.
What happened to us, people? When did we become such lemmings?
We have lost friends and influenced no one. No wonder most of the world thinks we suck. Thanks to what george bush has done to our country during the past three years, we do!
