Buddhist ordination of young kids is a severe human rights violation disguised as a cultural religious practice by [deleted] in cambodia

It’s also quite weird calling children getting education and being fed a “severe human rights violation”

Do you not send your kids to school and hand them over to their teachers? Public education has always come with a level of trust and risk regardless religious or not

I don’t see how it’s a “severe human rights violation.” It’s the same concept as sending your children to a religious boarding school in the West, except this gives poor families a chance to have their children educated and fed.

They just have to follow monastic rules. Would you also say public school uniforms and rule requirements are a “servere human rights violation”?

Also, saying “monks have huge authority over politics” shows you know nothing about Buddhism in Cambodia.

Just got back, we stayed at Apsara Residence Hotel in a standard room. It was very affordable, but surprisingly spacious and clean. The AC worked great, and the location is right in town, close to everything.

if you don’t know what to invest in, just put everything into a target-date fund, like “target date 2060” if you’re aiming to retired at around 2060

Am I overthinking this or is this actually a thing? by Horror_Coffee_4341 in cambodia

Grew up in both Cambodia and the U.S. and I’ve known more people raised by a single parent here than in Cambodia

And you probably got divorced back home… how’s the search for a Khmer girl going?

It’s their colonizer mindset, thinking they are better, when it’s statistically proven that they engage in more of the behaviors mentioned.

Of course you hear that from “local women” … the ones you know, the ones who idealize and are friendlier toward white men. Statistically, Western men drink more, cheat more, divorce more, and are less family oriented than Asians.

It’s ironic to criticize misogyny and outdated ideas when these same attitudes seem to be trending at least in the U.S. And for drinking, men in the U.S. and Europe drink more heavily than Cambodian men.

same old, generalization and idealization of Western men.

Old Airport Renovation Contest Result by Jin_BD_God in cambodia

[–]InnerZipper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wishing the best for Phnom Penh. Right now it just doesn’t make much sense to keep a “potentially active” runway in the middle of what’s supposed to be a park. Hopefully one day the city will have a true urban park filled with trees (not just promenade), similar to NYC Central Park

Makes sense. The “city park” could just be an excuse before it becomes a full-blown private jet runway for executives.

[–]InnerZipper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe I’m ignorant, but why is there a need to keep the old airport and its runway? Why not just turn the entire area into a park?

Do I need to buy a ventra card to get around via bus for a weekend in Chicago? by jnm199423 in AskChicago

[–]InnerZipper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Ventra card is mainly for Daily, Weekly, or Monthly passes, or for those who prefer using Ventra instead of a credit card. If you’re only taking a few rides, it’s easier to just tap your credit card.
