How has deporting a few hundred petty criminals to Cambodia made America safer

How has deporting a few hundred petty criminals to Cambodia made America safer?
"Some of the Cambodian-Americans now living in Phnom Penh... have been deported for aggravated felonies as minor as shoplifting and public urination. The law is also retroactive, meaning many had already finished their prison sentences and started rebuilding their lives in the U.S. before finding out that they would be deported..." http://www.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,1924835,00.html

9 :
Uh I'm sorry, is there a reason we need these people here? I don't know who said this made us 'safer'. I mean am I any safer because these people are gone? Probably not. But is our society a little better without these criminals here? Yeah, it is. I'm sure some of them did rebuild their lives, but most criminals return to crime (something the article ignores, surprise surprise). I wouldn't lose any sleep over these people being gone, and I would question the sanity of anyone who would.

There are no direct flights from the US to Cambodia. You can fly by Korean Air,Asiana Airlines stop at Seoul, Singapore Airlines,Eva Air stop at Taipei,China & Shanghai Airlines in China.
2 :
Where in Cambodia are you planning on flying in to? Generally, from the US, the layovers are in Taipei, Seoul or Hong Kong...but that said, these flights generally all end in Bangkok. From there you will need to book another flight either to Siem Reap or Phnom Penh (unless you're planning on traveling to Siem Reap overland from Bangkok via Poipet). Another option is to fly to Kuala Lumpur - there are direct flights from there on Air Asia which are generally pretty cheap if you book a week or two in advance.

Moving to Cambodia? Very skeptical

Moving to Cambodia? Very skeptical.?
When I am out of college I want to move and study in Cambodia with anthropology and things similar to that. BUT, I am just torn between Cambodia and Laos. Which one is better? And I am NOT looking at it from an expat, tourist point of view. Which one is better in terms of just living there. I hear Cambodia is dangerous, and has alot of sex slavery and things like that. Laos has very little crime, or anything of that sort. If I so happen move to Cambodia.. are there ANY western-styled hospitals? Or would I just be screwed and on a flight to Thailand?

Cambodia has a high crime rate. I spent a few months there working for the government. Poverty, sex slaves, and petty crime is all over the country. In general the country is very dirty. The police and nonexistentare non-existant and care little for it's citizens or guests. The hospitals are what you can expect in a third-world country. The best health care you will get in Cambodia is when the US military comes in, once or twice a year. Laos is much cleaner. I was there for a short time, but seemed like a nicer country. But that is coming from sight only.
2 :
I have never been to Laos. But I went to Cambodia. My wife got her camera snatched in front of a police check point. They asked us to pay them to get it back? Like they knew the thieves? Then they tried to force us to make a police report which they asked for Fifteen US dollars. I called my hotel they said to smile and tell the police no and walk away. If you spoke Cambodian it might be different. Health care is scarce. Thailand would be the closest place for that. The sex slavery you would just have to look the other way. I lived and worked in Iraq for over Two years I felt safer there. In that part of the world peoples salaries are low like 20 or 30 US dollars a month. You would always have to watch your back and not really trust anyone? If you lived off of 300 US a month that's more than locals make in a year. Think about this everyone in Cambodia that survived the killing fields are the people that did the killing? Good luck. Regards,

Cambodia is all over the place. When I visited, a friend of mine had a diabetic attack and we had our translator take us to a clinic. They refused to treat her for almost an hour because "they were board with her" (i've heard many other stories almost exactly the same as this). Once they finally treated her, they would not keep her there overnight for any amount of money. Basically, Cambodia is a play-as-you go kind of country. I never had any problems with stealing and was able to get around only knowing a little Khemi. It's an interesting country to say the least.

Cambodia is a collectivist society. How might a mental diagnosis contribute to internalized oppression

Cambodia is a collectivist society. How might a mental diagnosis contribute to internalized oppression?
A women who lived through Pol Pot's legacy saw the death of her family and friends. She came to america with much psychiatric symptoms, including pain, depression, poor sleep, weight loss, low energy, nightmares, visions of her parents being killed, etc... She is now irratable and has numerous physical complaints. She was diagnosed with PTSD and Major Depressive Disorder, Single Episode, Moderate. Cambodia is an example of a collectivist society. How might such diagnosis contribute to internalized oppression in this case?

She might feel "trapped" by the diagnosis, just as she felt trapped in the society she escaped from?
2 :
Being a collectivist society has nothing to do with that. Once a person has gone through that, the effects are pretty much a given. And how can a diagnosis contribute to the internalization of anything? And is "collective society" your diagnosis? All you can do is love the person and care for her as she will let you.
3 :
I don't know what collectivist society is but i can say for certain that without a doubt she would be suffering from PTSD. We really don't know the horror these people went through, the thing is she needs to be allowed to express her mind. We live in a society that is "perpetrator friendly", and it seems like she is basically being told to get over it. If her mind is stuck there, she will never come out of it and she needs help to do that, Meanwhile Pol Pot gets sympathy from a liberal media without having to apologize to the 1.5 million people dead and their families. No wonder she suffers, because that time in history was horrific and tragic and to discount her experience would be injustice.
4 :
Because individuals in collectivist societies tend to perceive diagnoses as (not weakness like individual cultures), but failings and an inability to contribute and fulfill their purpose. Internalizing the failure oppresses the individual.
5 :
Thanks to Pol Pot there are a lot of screwed up people. Cut the head off to kill the snake.

How much money (in USD) do I need to spend 3 months backpacking Thailand, Cambodia and Laos on a budget

How much money (in USD) do I need to spend 3 months backpacking Thailand, Cambodia and Laos on a budget?
I would like to do some extensive scuba diving and understand I will need lots of $$ for that. Hostel/Guesthouse living is fine for me.

You could make a rough estimate by referring to your Lonely Planet-type guidebooks, which you've surely purchased or checked out at the library, which list various accommodations by quality and price, so you have some idea. Likely they'll even give you prices for activities such as scuba diving, and list specific companies. Then you'll have your budget and can decide if three months is even doable. And if once you get out there, you'll be sure to bring a credit card for emergencies, and if you find you've gone over budget you can bail out and go home.
2 :
everything in Cambodia is not so expensive, here you can find a hotel rate at 150$ per month, food you can spend 200$ per month, suppose it cost 400$ in cambodia and Laos per month but Thailand is more expensive then this
3 :
Without the scuba diving and if you don't mind living in simple hostels and eating economically, you can get by on $20 - $30 US a day in each of these countries. It depends a lot on where you stay and how much travelling (ie moving from one place to another every few days) you do, as trains/buses etc are cheap but can eat up the cash. Realistically you will get bored of staying in crappy guesthouses and eating the same food all the time, so budget for treating yourself too. You're not travelling to suffer. Thailand is more expensive than Laos and Cambodia for sure, but not much. I wrote an article recently outlining all the different costs you might want to consider for backpacking in Thailand - you can use it as a rule of thumb for Cambodia and Laos too http://travelhappy.info/thailand/how-much-money-do-i-need-for-thailand/ Make sure you bring a VISA credit card that will work in overseas ATMs just in case you need emergency cash. Then just enjoy yourself. Re scuba diving - don't bother diving in Cambodia at Sihanoukville - it's really shitty. Save your money for Thailand. (There is no diving in Laos as it's land locked). Best places to dive in Thailand are the Similan Islands on the west coast - you will need to go on a liveaboard to get out there, spend 4 days diving, costs around $550 US for everything (gear, boat, food etc) - check www.phuket-diving-safaris.com for an example and more info. You can also go day diving from Phuket or Koh Phi Phi to Hin Daeng / Hin Muang and Koh Haa and Koh Bida Nok - these are three of the best sites in Southern Thailand You can also go to Koh Tao in the Gulf of Thailand - diving is not so great but still pretty good - big party fun on Koh Tao too. Day dives will cost you around $80 for 2 dives each day in Phuket , less if you block book several days diving. On Koh Tao it's cheaper - around $60 for 2 dives as the dive sites are nearer to the mainland. A Divemaster course is a good idea if you want to do lots of diving and not pay so much. Email me if you want more info Have fun!

I researched about this and i found out that arranged marriages is a tradition and they have to marry who the parents chose. Help me please I love him so much, and i cannot stand this. What do I do?

He is the only one that can change this. If he bows to the wishes of his parents he will marry the chosen girl. I guess that his family don't want him to be with you or marry you? See if this site can offer advice: http://arrmarriage.meetup.com/
2 :
Tell him to grow a pair of balls and do something about it. If he doesn't have the balls, not much you can do I'm afraid.
3 :
if he loved you he would tell his mom and dad to shove it. do you really want to be with someone who can't think for themselves and does whatever other people tell them to? please.
4 :
im extremely sorry. but, chances are he mightttt have to marry her, of course, get him to fight back, get him to talk to his parents, to pursue them, get him to try! if his parents are traditonal then who knows how long it will take but tell him not to give up. good luckkk :)

Hi there, ive just come back from a trip around Asia. I'd recommend teaching in Pattaya if your after sun 'n' sea. I'd also recommend teaching in Chang Mai if you want to be amongst on Thai people during and after teaching hours. You also mention you're heading to Burma & Laos, i strongly recommend doing your homework on Burma (now called Myanmar)........... The regime which run and control the country are very strict and their presence everywhere is quiet intense. What happens in Burma is very rarely heard of outside Burma. But i must say the burmese are among the most polite and warming people in the world, they will go out of their way to assist you just like Philippino's!!!!! Enjoy your trip....................

There are 2 very good web sites that list the available English teaching positions throughout Thailand. http://www.ajarn.com http://www.ajarnjobspace.com The second site lists the jobs by region and they have a nifty map that you can click on and it will give you the available jobs in that location. Just start clicking around on the coastal sections in Southern Thailand. There are positions offered in many coastal cities. Most schools require a 1-year contract. You'll need a degree and either a TEFL or CELTA certificate as well. The first site I mentioned is a great source of info for new teachers. Check it out.

Krabi is a nice place to go. Very beautiful.

Krabi, Hua Hin , Koh Samui , are real nice places to go . I wouldn't go to Phuket or pattaya because it's not as nice there anymore . In my opinion , I love Hua Hin . Pattaya has a lot of prostitutes now so we don't go there as much. I travel to Thailand evry year with my family , because my parents grew up in Thailand and Laos. But everywhere in Thailand is real nice
5 :
You might try Prince of Songkhla Uni down south. It's handy for the southern resort areas. Krabi I think only has one school so would be hard to crack, but I could be wrong. It's the nicest place by a mile. There are a bunch of schools in Phuket, but that's a relatively expensive place to live [if you wanna live that is] Someone mentioned www.ajarn.com That's a good site for hooking up an interview or 2 . Goodluck
