The New "What did you do with your Z today" (with off topic replies) XIII

But to put things in perspective, my family (I'm first generation in the US) went through something just as bad during the Khmer Rouge regime, also known as the Cambodian genocide. My grandfather lost his life in a labor camp, and my parents, aunts, and uncles spent years in a rufeege camp in Thailand before coming to the US with no money and no help. That's besides the point though because did you even know there was such a genocide? In addition did you know there's an estimated 3million Cambodians killed? Many bodies, such as my grandfather have not been found. Thats 3 million people from one country the size of Missouri killed in less than 4 years.

So be glad that people around the world know and recognize the dark times that your family went through because 99% of the world has no clue what mine went through even though the ideologies between the two are nearly identical.

Yes in school I took world history and world religions and other interesting/easy courses in high school, anyway we did learn about the unfortunate events that happened to your ancestors. It is terrible to think that these kind of people got away with killing millions of innocent people it's truly sickening!

I am second generation here but I a thankful for the opportunity I was given.

Anywhooo, this is getting too deep. Let's get back to the shenanigans
