the country name weere changed from kampuchea to cambodia not too long ago. this was a bad idea. when the kmer kampuchea krom break away from the viet,soon i hope, they will call themself the republic of khmer kampuchea krom and the mother land is still cambodia. cambodia should change back to kampuchea. i dont want to see the khmers have two countries. kmer krom they are for real now. they have their own govt. in plance in the us and other countries. what's you guy think?

dont like this topic? chicken!

No, I think they did the right thing. I don't like the word Kampuchea because if you break the word into syllable it gives a negative meaning. Kam=suffering puchea=khmer the people. And when it adds up, it means the Suffering Khmers. Khmers have enough suffering and devatating lost, we do not need this word to label us that way. So with that, hail Cambodia

i say yoiu are the new generation guy. perhap borned here in the state, right.
everybody know that if you translated the kapuchea, it go like that. well, kam-yes, i should say is suffering, pu is khmer and chea is no longer suffering. it go like this before,after and the end. you got hurt in an automobile accident you suffered-kam. when you go to the ER that is after -pu-khmer (YOU). the doctor treaded you , you feel beter , you no longer suffering this is the end, right , so you chear . that is not bad at all being call kampuchea. you are here in the state. you got used to it calling it like the westerner. but it is not fully recognize in kampuchea. not to many khmers are like being call cambodia. when i hear kampuchea that mean all khmers, the bottom,center and top parts. you can call khmers what ever you want. it you choice my friend. it a free world.


but if you call chineses khmre- cambodia or vietnamesekhmer- cambodia , they love you probably too much. bye

I, personally dont care much on that!!! It dosent matter what they calling us: Khmer, Cambodia or Kampuchea...As long as they dont hurt us.Thats it...

yess,,
