Cambodia, Always A Famous Fighter

Since the past, our country's been named a fighter. Yeah we're good at fighting: My grandfather said his father was a horse fighter fighting with the French in Isarak and he was named as Samon horse robber... oh he could fight 8 i heard, but some day he disappeared. Emm... we're fighters, but who know us?
We always fight since the old day till now, but we never know that we're fighting for nothing. We've fighted since we were a tiger just to be a hunger cat begging around from door to door. We've had our unique culture - fighting among ourselves. So proud of Vietnam to fight for their own sake of independence from those idiots, so proud of Thailand to fight for their expansion, and at least so proud of Laos to fight for their people. How 'bout us? Yah we fighted ourselves to be others. I heard my g-father said if in those old days you opposed to the king, you'd be accused of royal throne betrayal (capital punishment - beheading). After some time, we changed to fight ourselves for others... and until we killed ourselves for fun.
I've been very curious and kept laughing at myself of how unique Khmers are. Among us, we always crawl in front of others, but we appear very strong, powerful, cruel, and aggressive among ourselves. See how our representatives are doing right there... they like fighting each others, cursing each others even worse than my niece and nephew. Think of it carefully. I think it's already become our culture. They do it publicly without any embarrasement. It's more than enough...
It's not to offend ourselves, but rather to let us think more in future to come.
