Hey!!! Everything you all said wrong

[brooklynmonk1]

@tonyhoangkt Could you be more specific. Something of the things I said must be right, like, "I am Antonio Graceffo," and "We are in Saigon, Vietnam..." Please tell me what i said wrong.

If you look at the old chinese writing its so sloppy.. Vietnamese Traditional writing which is called Chu Nom is wat chinese people use today, Chinese stole vietnamese Writing style

[brooklynmonk1]

@LiDoHAzNBoi It's been a year and you still haven't responded to my response to your response. The chinese absolutely did not steal the Vietnamese writing system, as the Chinese writing system predates the Chinese invasion of Vietnam. Also, there is no record, anywhere, of any Vietnamese writing system predating the use of Chinese characters. Please respond and tell me I am wrong, using some type of research or at least logic.

it true just because you do martial arts dose not mean you want to be a fighter sometime you like the beauty in the art or the culture of the place or for a little exercise

[stupidfreakyface]

Vietnamese is a sub-group of Chinese?

Fuck you, you racist piece of shit.

[vietscouty]

@LiDoHAzNBoi Du ma, do you even know anything about our history? It is us Viets who adapted the Chinese writing system, not the other way around. 

[smukles]

@smukles Never mind, found it. If anyone else is interested, it's "Trở Về Trong Những Nỗi Đau"

[smukles]

Hey, does Antonio or anyone else happen to know the name of the Vietnamese song playing in the background of this video? Thanks!

[toiyeuvina]

Thank you for the video . i hope you have a good time in Vietnam :)

@LiDoHAzNBoi why is it every time I point out that i have actually attended university in Vietnam and studied martial art in Vietnam and studied Chinese, and published articles on the combined linguistic history of Vietnam and china, suddenly, it was someone's little brother who made the unthinking, uneducated comment? Very convenient. It is easier to make an excuse than to actually crack a book and study, or to fly back to Vietnam and enroll in school.

[LiDoHAzNBoi]

@brooklynmonk1 lol i didnt even write this my little brother did haha wrong acc i guess !
