The Cambodian Oppositions and their Negative Campaigning
Are they the forces of positive changes?
The oppositions should be the forces of positive thinkers for positive changes and should avoid being too negative to the point that they can be called extremists.
Most philosophers agree that only positive thoughts can attract positive people and yield positive outcomes or results. Positive thinking has been accountable for all major accomplishments in the world. Negative thinking or stinking thinking rarely or never yields positive results.
From time to time I check into KI-Media. Blogspot.com, the Khmer Intelligence blog that is widely believed to belong to Sam Rainsy’s supporters or even Sam Rainsy’s Party (now the newly formed Cambodia National Rescue Party.)
Although some cut and pasted articles are useful and informative, the majority of written and posted articles, caricatures, perverted pictures and commentaries are ferocious, deceitful and distasteful.
Those who oppose Hun Sen's regime and Hun Sen's supporters may not like top Cambodian monks and label them as terrorists, but there are millions of Cambodians who do respect them as their religious leaders. Offending their religious leaders maybe counterproductive.

Poems, responses as well as comments expressed by readers and by those who are allowed to post their postings are extremely offensive and violent. Such contents and languages really make Hun Sen’s ruthless tongues as by far more reasonable indeed.
I personally understand the anger, frustration and resentment that many Cambodians have with the CPP, it’s leaders and their Vietnamese ally, but I disagree with the languages used by those who claim that they are much better than Hun Sen and his team. Especially, those who have been groomed or schooled and trained in the West or in the United States.
They should have higher moral standard than those whom they believe as evil in a third world country like Cambodia. Such languages, displays and presentations are beyond being humorous or amusing. They represent hatred and profanity. How do they expect to get help from other "good leaders"of the world?

I believe you should be able to bring your messages to the world in civilized manners without resorting to cursing, blaspheming, and using vulgar languages. Negative and extreme languages only attract negative and extreme people and negative individuals repel good and decent people. Any misinformation or wrongful accusations can only damage your very own reputation.
I realize that many people believe that the only way to change the country is to "curse" its leaders out or to prove them devilish. Those dictators maybe evil in certain individual's mind, but may not be in all Cambodian people’s mind.
If and when you are being labeled as a group of extremists, you are finished. I assume that KI’s business is to help the oppositions to succeed in their quest—to win the next general election. Otherwise, you are only doing Hun Sen a favor by making him as a more reasonable man.
Be the forces of positive changes!
If you want to be a force of positive thinkers who want to bring positive changes to Cambodia you should change the way you think, speak and act. There is no need to kowtow or bow down to Premier Hun Sen or to agree with his leadership ability, but you need to earn respects from the world community and from Cambodians at large.
One way to earn admirations from the Cambodian people is to become calm, cool and collected. There are plenty of words that describe our feelings that will yield positive outcomes.
One of the great advices from our Cambodian forefathers is,” Samdeiy Sar Jeat, Mearyeat Sar Pouch” or “your words represent your nationality (or who you are) and your characters represent your origin.”

To defeat our adversaries or opponents we need to really"focus"on winning not to curse with anger and hatred. We need to think accurately. Accurate thinking and controlled attention cannot be done when we possess negative emotions. Be the forces of positive changes!
There are many ways to skin a cat, but don't do it when you are angry or when you are out of your mind.

1. Set Limits with Complainers
Complainers are bad news because they wallow in their problems and fail to focus on solutions. They want people to join their pity party so that they can feel better about themselves. People often feel pressure to listen to complainers because they don’t want to be seen as callous or rude, but there’s a fine line between lending a sympathetic ear and getting sucked into their negative emotional spiral. You can avoid this only by setting limits and distancing yourself when necessary. Think of it this way: if the complainer were smoking, would you sit there all afternoon inhaling the second-hand smoke? You’d distance yourself, and you should do the same with complainers. A great way to set limits is to ask complainers how they intend to fix the problem. They will either quiet down or redirect the conversation in a productive direction.
2. Squash the Negative Self-Talk
Sometimes you absorb the negativity of other people, and other times you create it for yourself. There’s nothing wrong with feeling bad about something, but your self-talk (the thoughts you have about your feelings) can either magnify the negativity or help you move past it. Negative self-talk is unrealistic, unnecessary, and self-defeating. It sends you into a downward emotional spiral that is difficult to pull out of. You should avoid negative self-talk at all costs. Be wary of the following two types of negative self-talk in particular and try the alternatives:
