We are Siamese if you please. We are Siamese if you don't please.

1158325 2010-12-03 08:12:00 I note BBC only refer to it as Burma. Cicero (40)
1158326 2010-12-05 20:30:00 The military rulers do not like the name Burma.
That is why I do not use the word "Myanmar".

The only thing I can think of that is good about the political regime in Burma is that it is better than in North Korea... sort of like comparing the smell of dog s**t to cat sh*t.

Don't know why they want to change the names!:confused:
