why the fuckin hell do they have to go and rename shit? all kinds of bodies of water in the us that have 'offensive names'."well it used to be called sioux hill but thats not pc so lets change it to something else so we feel better about exterminating the indians" and then the turks went and renamed constantinople, istanbul WTF! bombay is now mumbai and apparently burma is now myanmar. i know this really isint a big deal but it just really pisses me off when people rename shit.
burma was called myanmar before they made the change (so Im guessin they are changin it back). and constantinople has always been istanbul. so what?
I heard they took street names that gangs would hang out on and changed them to Pussy Lane or girls street just to drive them off. That's hilarious.
Oh my whole school system back home got renamed. I lived next to a reservation and the High School was the Tomahawks, the Junior High was the ThunderBirds and the Middle School the Warriors. All had to be changed because some how it was deemed offensive to the natives, go figure.
well mad crappie, youre right, the turks called it istanbul as soon as they took it in 1453 but youre wrong about burma from wikipedia:SLORC renamed Burma 'Myanmar' in the English language in 1989 and bird migration, im usually really level headed but its just one of those pet peeves you know?
