Stupid or what??? Fighting over a heritage site that the Thais didn't even pay attention to a few years ago.
(This is on the gay sight since there may be some good looking gay soldiers involved)

Is that the same as a heritage site? But as an American yourself who believes in Americans keeping their nose out of what's going on the rest of the world ...Originally Posted by thrillbill
You're not in Thailand as an English teacher by any chance? :bounce:
This is the same red herring used by many countries to keep the citizens from focusing on the real problems that a country or its citizens really need to confront.
Life is sexually transmitted and terminal.
You are sadly misinformed. The temple was in Thailand until a dispute arose and the Thai's mishandled their claim in an international court, which subsequently awarded most (but not all) of the temple area to Cambodia. The Thais have always felt that Khao Phra Viharn, as they call it, is part of their heritage. If you actually visit the place, you will see how very illogical the border is, running along the edge of a very steep cliff but coming in away from the edge only at this particular place, then returning to the cliff edge.
Thr border around the temple itself was never properly demarcated, hence the dispute.[/quote]

mmmmmm- and who doesn't stereotype and generalize? :geek:
I was asking more out of concern for the benighted youth of Thailand, who already have to suffer one English teacher (Stickman) whose command of the English language, grammar and punctuation leaves something to be desired ... but then he's from New Zealand. In which of the Kingdom's many endeavours do you peddle your ignorance of the English language, grammar and punctuation?
Send in the Pattaya katoey regiment - the khmer will surrender within minutes!
Yes Oogleman i agree and maybe the Colonel will lead the Katoey regt. The Cambodians will certainly run then
Po Po left Cambodia with so little of itself that it seems a shame to have to fight thailand for a heritage site. Thailand should do the gracious offering and make a way for both of them to share this site. Religion has always been the biggest War Mongrel the world has ever known or will ever know.
The origin for the border was supposed to be the line of the water shed, which would seem quite reasonable; the original survey, however, was done by the French on behalf of Cambodia in 1907 and in the case of the temple itself they simply lied, and the Thais did not dispute this at the time.
That is exactly what they had been doing, with no problems, until Cambodia applied to the UN to make it and the surrounding area a World Heritage Site under Cambodian control.
.... and what connection does "religion" have with either "Po Po" (Pol Pot?) or the current Thai/Cambodian border dispute - although in general I agree with your view on the connection between religion and "War Mongrel"s (war mongers?)?
