She desperately needs Rushdie's help w/ that thesis: genocide is kinda like or like or is a religion in Cambodia? Religion is a kind of belief and ritual. And it's human capabilities I'm interetesed in not signing gorillas or piano playing cats. And death is like another human capability except that when people do it to their own people it is living death. Kinda like living. Or like death? I need to go someplace dangerous now like Phuket. #minlieskovsky
"And the rare moment when I'm walking past a homeless dude selling
some acrylic gloves and pleather cellphone holders and I hear "Promiscuous," I think, damn, wish I were in college"
How poetic and insightful. I wonder if she is really so insufferable in real life.
If after this reading you still fail to appreciate the comparative charm and wit of the Hipster Grifter, then there is nothing that I or anyone else can do for you.
@skahammer: You are the proud winner of a dinner for two at my new gourmet weiner stand "Hot Dog Hallway" on Ludlow St. (unless the cops make us move.)
She's an idiot. The Khmer Rouge's destruction of Cambodian society was not genocide as genocide is the decimation of a race/ethnicity/religion etc. simply because they are a certain race/ethnicity/religion, etc. Just because it was all Cambodians who died doesn't mean its genocide- it was Cambodian on Cambodian violence; the only major difference between the Khmer Rouge and their victims were social class (but usually they were indiscriminant). I think a Harvard student writing a senior thesis should be able to figure it out- it's not that hard. #minlieskovsky
@somethingsfishy: Actually, Cambodia is home to several different ethnic groups. The Khmer Rouge did indeed participate in ethnic cleansing in order to achieve an ethno-cultural -- which they believed would eventually evolve into political -- homogeneity. #minlieskovsky
