It's about Cambodia, but I think you can draw some parellels to SK.

I was in Cambodia last month and didn't see any Cambodian Christians.

Are you suffering frustration in your personal life?

I am a little, yes, but that's irrelevant. What point are you trying to make, fuckwit? That the linked piece of journalism must be wrong because you personally didn't see any Christians when you were on your sex tour of Cambodia?

While he could be a little more tactful about it, Stevie_B is right. That'd be like me seeing a news report about a murder and going, "I've never seen a murder, so this must not be true."

Hey, you want tact, call a tactician.

Of course I wasn't claiming my experience was absolute proof of anything, it merely adds some light on the subject and (unlike your posts) contributes to the discussion. Now surf on back to your favourite midget porn sites and don't forget the kleenex.

No - because I didn't say there were no Christians in Cambodia. It would be more like reading a report about violent crime in Seoul and then saying "I've never witnessed any" - a valid (if inconclusive) contribution.

I think you were just showing off that you've been to Cambodia so that we'd all think you well-traveled and worldly-wise. It won't work though. Going to Cambodia is not particularly impressive because lots of people have been. Christopher Paul Neil, for example. And Gary Glitter.

Stop giving the guy a hard time Stevie B, I personally think Matmans sex tour of Cambodia to be a hell of a lot more interesting than some snooze-fest of a show about Christianity.

I've recently been to Cambodia too, and it wasn't a sex tour. (there's enough free sex here)
While I can confirm I didn't see any Christians, more importantly, I didn't see any churches. You can't travel though any part of Korea without seeing churches. My point being, Buddhism is still a big part of Cambodian life, whereas in Korea, its basically gone, replaced by megachurches, and people pushing whatever flavor of bible they believe in that day. I wasn't proselytized once while there.

And what do you know about Matman, to call him a sex tourist? Most likely you don't know anything about him or her. Which means you know more about sex tourism in Cambodia than you do know about matman.

Stevie_b, we now know what you think of when you think of Cambodia... SEX!!! Interesting... pot calling the kettle black?

One of the reasons you may not have seen any "Christians" in Cambodia is because they are still suffering from persecution there and so saying out loud "I am a Christian" can have repercussions.
