Seriously John, PLEASE bring back that intro song! Pleasee?!?!?!
-
Because India who have China and Pakistan on their borders already really want to open up another front on their border with Burma?
-
@NeverEatTheUniverse I like your comment AND your username

@wakold I apologize on his behalf for any insult you may have taken from this.

@harrypotterrocks1762 What has the date of the video to do with my comment? I said that the first records of the kingdom being called "Myanma" or "Mranma" are about a thousand year old, and the population of Myanmar calls their country both "Buma" and "Myanma", although it is often said "Myanma" is more literary. Whether the political situation in Myanmar changed during the past two years doesn't change this fact, and it doesn't change the fact that the guy is ignorant...

@wakold Dear wakold,
Please remember that this video was made in 2009. Conditions in a country can change a lot in 2 years. Please remember that and keep that in consideration when watching politics-related videos from a couple years ago.
Thank you and DFTBA,
Nerdfighter Colleen H.

@burmesensp Please remember that this video was made in 2009, and maybe THEN it was Bamar. Thank you and DFTBA,

Hehe, when John started saying "Can ya, CAN YA?" I was almost sure he was hinting at "Kenya". Then I saw the title again. Ah well, such is life.

It is MYANMAR. Our country has changed her name long ago. Wake up, Dude! If you wanna seek your five-minute fame, do something else. This isn't entertaining at all. Boo!!

@rodriguez745 You may call yourself Bamar or whatever, but I have been living in my country with the rest of the citizens and we are the ones dealing with the political and economical changes, whether it’s good or bad for us. There are far more important things to discuss for the betterment of our country.
