While writing the script for the #Myanmar episode I realized there just wouldn't be enough time to fit this very important section of delicate information in the video (unless I rushed or glossed over it) however it definitely needed to be addressed, therefore I had to make an entire separate video for it; The Rohingya situation. There are many other pieces of information that could've been mentioned in this video but for what it's worth I talked to quite a few people on this matter, did research and this is the briefest yet concise summary I can give.
Geography Now nice I’m first too
A very big Oof
When will the episode get online?
You could probably have mentioned that there are UN reports that document actual attempts at ethnic cleansing by the Myanmar army. It's not just a 'both sides' thing, there are third-party international observers, you should try to at least mentioned what those have to say as well...
when will you travel though?
I'm 2 years too late. But this is probably the most peaceful comment section I've ever seen about the topic.
Actually, many small ethnic groups live on the Bangladesh-Myanmar border. There are 1.5 million Burmese Buddhists living in Chittagong and Cox's bazar in Bangladesh. Bangladesh never deprives them of their rights. In the same way that Myanmar has deprived the Rohingyas of their citizenship, Bangladesh and those who want to live in Bangladesh, can deprive these Buddhist communities of their citizenship. But one secular government after another has come to power in Bangladesh and is not doing so
Yup, I thought it was going to be worst

As a burmese who is currently living in Myanmar,I am very glad to see a true/fair information about the situation unlike every other mainstream media .I love your channel and i ve been watching your videos since china .Keep up the good work!
Alcatraz TM
Humans do.
@The truth You can't generalize someone and call him a murderer. I am Rohingya Muslim and in Myanmar and Thailand, Rohingyas and Burmese live side by side. Mind it!
Bruh, can i know More about this race? Im malaysian..Malaysian is Muslim country, Our government saves them, But After Whole this Year, we have big problem with this Race.. They don't act like a good muslim...they not really care about My goverment rules, They Stolled , They robbed the house and more, and now.. they want citizenship rights as a local,
@@sweetlikeespresso5921 you guys not act like a good muslim.. Our government take your race to my Country
@@cubaaatv2796 Myanmar has no rohingya race.
Well .. this is the only video I’ve ever seen that a non-Burmese is explaining what have happened in Rakhine State totally fair and unbiased! Good job.
Agreed.
Right
agreed!
Absolutely!
So how's the Military Junta feeling these days?
I spent all of November in Myanmar. Traveled from Yangon to Nay Pi Taw, Mandalay, then off to smaller more rural areas like Shwebo, Kale, Kanbalu, Tedim, Falam, and Rihkawdar. I have to say it is a very interesting country. I found while there while most everyone was very open about talking about the government and democracy, no one wanted to talk about the Rohingya at all. And you are 100% correct about it not being about them being Muslim. I traveled the entire month with a Myanmar native that was Muslim and a colleague from out of the country that was also Muslim and everywhere we went the people were for the most part incredibly friendly.
Derick Hess
Sounds like you would find N Korea lovely too.
Bob T lol the Burmese government and North Korea are not the same. People don’t wanna talk about it due to how conflicting it is
im Burmese and I'll die if I go to North Korea
It's true. I used to enthusiastic to answer questions about Rohingya for my friends from other countries. Then, I started not to because I don't want to get the look of distrust and disgust as if I'm lying to them just because what I'm saying is not like what mass media is reporting. What I want them to know is that I care deeply about people no matter what their race is and I was just explaining the misrepresentation of Muslims vs Buddhists in the news. SMH.
@@gusgusfishpiglet5665 I totally agree with this. Boy am i glad to see this comment section. The others were literally so scary i didn't dare to comment.
Well, the comments are going to be lovely...
oh noes
@Daniel Bin Hujan Omar Just like Burmese food
yup i have my popcorn ready
I’m 50/50 so you can feel good about accusing me of being 100 one way because “I’m basically Hitler” or “I’m basically Antifa”
They dont got internet in myassmar dont worry.
Wow I feel like I got a completely none biast and independent report. Please do more of these. I’m sick of things like this being used for political agenda and not facts about what’s actually happening.
I agree! Barbs did his research good
They say that the truth is the first casualty in any armed conflict!
This is what the news media is meant to be like. But nope. Agendas. Agendas. Agendas. It's nauseating.
Exactly
Agreed, seemed very balanced and very factual. Thank you.

Me and help I am scared cause my country's cops are shooting protester
@@Ryan191110 FIGHT TILL THE END BRO IF WE DIE WE DIE IF WE SUCCED WE CELEBRATE tommorow come out
@pkmk6 66 dont care bro we live one day we die one day might as well die in honor
Speaking of recent coup, truth is Suu Kyi's deposed government is in the West's orbit, while the military is in China's orbit.
Naturally, there's a conflict of interest between the two.
@@supremelyeducated3273 "Suu Kyi's deposed government is in the West's orbit, while military is in China's orbit. So there's a conflict of interest between the two, obviously so."
Truth is the West is working hard to block China an access to the sea through Myanmar; as in the case with South China Sea, where they have been working on it for a decade.
geography now is one of the few channels that can talk about this without mostly bigoted comments in the comment section
Because he also present unbiased.
His audience of also mature. He is also unbiased.
His target demographic is the world. A lot of comments are trolls but they're simply the most controversial ones. The decent ones get pushed down. His audience simply knows respect since a lot of them are subscribers and know how he operates by now
Do the Uyghur next pls
Uyghur please.
I agree, not many people know about them
@Deva Rafael Because the Hui are essentially of Han origin while the Uyghur are Turkic.

@@thebenis3157 Yeah you're right. I'm sorry it's 05:24 and I haven't slept.
I'm Burmese and I'm still learning history in school. And I haven't learned about the Rohingya yet. (I think, I'm not interested in history but I am now.) So I asked my mom about this, and she told me to go back to playing roblox. She told me not to be interested in the Rohingya problem. And of course, english is not my first language. So I didn't really understand the whole video. Well, this is confusing. I should have focused in history more often.

I’m Thai and I can say that many conflicts in Southeast Asia, including this one, are the result of Western colonization. British and French just left many problems behind this region without any responsibility. They combined and divided their conquered territories like a cake without thinking about ethnic background and former political status. Shan people, for example, are still fighting against the Bamars for their independence until today. I’m pro-Shan because Shan state (Tailand) has ever been an independent state not part of Burma. They have their own culture and monarchy. French also left the border conflict between Siam and Indochina. Be strong Southeast Asians!
Nah, Thai is not pro tai. They just betrayed Burmese trust . Meanwhile tai (Shan) people Unite with Burmese like brotherhood. We expelled mongol invasion and China invasion together. Burmese kings recognized shan as independent state with their leaders. They never interfere Shan leaders rulings. Until Shan people love to be united with Burmese under Myanmar. That’s a fact.
@@zayya9362 I'm half shan, my mother has never identified as Burmese
So that is your ethnicity,what about your Nationalities.@@vindicator75
One of the only few videos which presents both sides of the argument
Agree
Oh, but this video seems unclean and smells of pork! Barby should revert to Islam (we were all born Muslims) and then he will see world issues and the proper destiny of man (and the women walking 3 paces behind them) in the correct perspective. :-)

Thank you for telling both sides of the story! Unfortunately most of the media only show one incomplete side of story and so many people jump to conclusions without any knowledge of the history and background of this crisis in my country.
Now Malaysian also hate rohingnya. They ask too many things from Malaysia gov.. fak all of them
They create gangster group in Malaysia.. The leader call himself Long Tiger. Shitty rohingnya
Myanmar atrocities on ethnic minorities, then the Rohingyas Genocides by military Juntas of Myanmar should see another NUREMBERG & stretch neck.
Hey Barb, don’t you notice that the British Empire has somehow started most today’s military conflicts in the developing world?
Examples are endless!
Not most but a statistically significant amount. (at least in the way I see it)
Hamza Alduraidi yeah i wouldn’t say most, but yeah, definitely a bit.
They did it on purpose. If karma does exist, it's not surprise that UK is decline.
British use ethnic conflicts to divide and conquer these newly independence countries in the post-independence days. All these countries cannot survive without foreign investments. They still take foreign investments from the imperialists and colonists after post-independence. Foreign investments lead to foreign influences.

It is actually very brave of you to tackle this issue while risking many potential haters coming at you. Nonetheless, you have done an amazing job, remaining neutral throughout the video while laying out raw facts & history without leaning towards any of the sides. Clearly shows the amount of research you have done. Definitely way more than any of the deluded commentators below.
They did a video on Israel. Pretty sure this man fears no hate 🤣
Wow! Never watched a video about Rohingya tackling BOTH sides of the story! A salute you! You researched both sides.
But yes, people should not suffer.
My country (Philippines) accepted 8000 of them. ( I think more).We can accept more but I think Rohingya likes Indonesia, since it is a Muslim country. Note: The Philippines is just a foothold for the refugees. We usually send them to countries that they like like US and the EU, or back to their country if things was solved. Rohingyans stayed for just 5 months in our country.
We were the first Southeast asians bordering the South China to accept them
We accepted Vietnamese before.
After peace was acheive in Vietnam in the 70's, it is time for yhe refugees to return. But they did not want to leave unfortunately. Vietnamese people crying since they loved it in our country.
Ken Apsay You Philippines are such welcoming warm heart people love you and your country please help those brothers of mine in need
I hope Indian government could learn something from Philippines. We can take much more of them but we aren't taking them in but are even deporting some of them who made it in.
Yeah.. at the beginning they chose Indonesia, since We (read: most of Muslim in Indonesia) love to take care our fellow muslim abroad.
Do you hear Pakistan? They are supported by Indonesia for a very long time. They got de jure from us.
There are no news about Rohingya lately, but last thing I heared from national media: "They are not comfortable in the refugee camp because it isn't the same as what they are promised."
They got baptized (so Christian word, can't find the Islamic word) by our culture: You cam hold my promise because promise is free!
Simply because they are a burden in financial, with no benefit at all.
Which country want to accept this kind of immigrant?
1. No money
2. No education
3. No skill
Do not mention their language is very different from us, maybe most of Indonesian who helped them can speak Arabic.
But most of Indonesian, even most of Muslim in Indonesia can't speak Arabic.
To be understand:
Many Muslim in Indonesia can speak Arabic because they learn to resd their holy book.
But they can't make a conversation.
It is more like they are remembering the verse like a song.
Thr higher the education, more of them can take a very basic conversation.
@@aadityaphadnis8399 Jordan is better than us brother. They saved 600k refugees!!!
Countries in my opinion are better refugee havens than my country (Philippines).
1. Jordan
2. Pakistan
3. Iran
*Top 3 mostly Palestinians and Syrians
4. Canada. (The wealthiest country that is a refugee haven).
5.Chad
6.Ethiopia
7.Uganda
8.Kenya
9. Some African countries
*Different nation with civil war.
10. Colombia-Valenzuela (seek refuge to each other). Colombians to Velenzuela during their civil war, Velenzuelans to Colombia during the hyperinflation now.
Except for Canada though, these countries harbor people who mostly have something in common with them. Muslims to Muslim. Same ethnic groups in Africa. We Filipinos do not care what race you are from.
Hell! Even what planet you are from!
Hi GN, I'm in Bangladesh working for NGO's just now! Thanks for the run-down.Super helpful xx
I support Myanmar 🇮🇳❤️🇲🇲
I hope our govt could take such strict action against the threats of the nation. SOOOO MUCH LOVE TO Burmese PM and People.
Why should India afarid them? India even has nuke and Burma don't. You just need good leader who don't afarid the world.
I've been wondering since last year how you'd address this important issue. Appreciate the effort!
Paul, Barby
This is what takes your videos way beyond the standard of any others. There are now other (though not necessarily dedicated) geographical videos, but you make yours an immersive mix of fun, interesting, thought provoking, well researched and absorbing. I have learnt so much from you. Thank you.
This was amazing barbs! Even my parents enjoyed how you discussed the crisis without choosing sides. You should also start doing videos like these, makes me want to avoid watching news on TV.
Hey Barb, you and your team did an awesome job with this video. I am from Odisha, an Indian state close to the India-Bangladesh border and I found this video to be extremely well made. This was probably the best attempt at explaining this complex crisis.
Thanks Barbs for explaining this. As someone who currently lives in Myanmar, it was good to see this and understand a bit better this virtually non-understandable situation...
This video is the diamond of grabage internet. I am Burmese who live in Myanmar.
It's very simple to understand, once you understand the evil of the cult called islam and the mindset of its members.
Uday Sheorey low IQ
Uday Sheorey lol moron the start of the video said it’s not to do with religion

I'm Buddhist and if you guys think that MUSLIMS shouldn't be associated terrorism when certain percentage are violent, I hope you guys do the same and not be hypocrite by saying that Buddhists are violent.
May you guys be happy and well.
Edit: There are amazing non-religious and Muslim friends responding to this thread and I wanna say thank you for your respect for my faith and I shall say that you guys are amazing as well!
Are you high mate? It's not comprehensible.
@Daniel Bin Hujan Omar Hi Daniel, this is pretty surprising to say the least. I wasn't expecting a comment like that haha
But as a practicing Buddhist, of course we would welcome anyone who want to learn about our faith and how it can be applied to better our lives.
However, because your current or previous faith is of the Islamic one. I'm pretty sure it is very hard, especially if you live in an Islamic country.
It is astronomically hard to convert out of it.
That said, conversion internally is always better than externally, can start by understanding Buddhism, the Dhamma and start establishing Right View.
I cam always help if you need to.
peace be upon you
@@sahararaptor7600 Thank you mate!
@@nedisahonkey I agree with you, and our community have spoken out against any violence. The very first precept is to not kill.
What you didn't include is that Bangladesh is the host nation for this massive refugee population. The govt. of Bangladesh is constantly working (hard) to accommodate and feed them. With it's own overpopulation problems and not so impressive economy, Bangladesh is doing some very good stuffs.
I think it's well highlighted in media that Bangladesh is housing all the refugees.
@@unclepodger you are correct, I just hoped that Paul B. would discuss that topic with more passion. After all this whole thing is not easy for Bangladesh, yet the govt. is doing it passionately. As a Bangladeshi, I just hoped more appreciation, that's all.
I believe that way back in the original Bangladesh episode he briefly touched on their overpopulation becoming even more pronounced by the refugees coming in. Might be wrong though.
Sourov Das I think you'll find that Bangladesh has quite an impressive economy for South Asian standards as they're one of the fastest growing economies in the world. But other than that you're correct
@Anand the godtuber Guess who I am from my name. What's in a name? 😉
I think the points you made are incredibly accurate and nuanced and I deeply appreciate your avoidance of sensationalism and how you (unlike many in the media) avoided the pitfall of calling it a purely religious conflict. Once again geography now kills it with your nuanced approach to geo politics! Bravo!
Why do I love this Channel SO MUCH!!!
Probably cause this is an independent media :)
He doesnt make biased videos and looks everything from a neutral perspective
Because you are a good person and so is Paul Barbie Barbato
Zachary Tabz, Because you end up having higher IQ with Geography.
Because Barby is awesome!
Great summary that really gave me a better overall understanding! I've been quite confused about this conflict, the way it was written about in the news was like the whole thing just appeared out of nowhere.
Thank you so much Barb! I'm a huge geography nerd and I'm always wanting to learn more, and these videos help so much with that! Thanks to you I'm the 2 time Geography Bee champion at my school and have gone to State to compete against the entire state of Indiana! Thank you!

Thank you! This was a very good summary. Good job Barbs! I think you did a great job on describing both sides. Btw I don’t know if you will see this but I’ve been subscribing to your channel since the autumn of 2014. I started watching it in preparation for a model UN in upper secondary school. At that time you had just started on B or C, I was going to represent Zimbabwe X’D. During the time I’ve been praying for you especially when you lost your father. A year after that I lost my own father. I love the work that you do. I look forward to your video about Sweden as I myself am Swedish (and we love recognition of our country and culture). You know that I will celebrate your video on Zimbabwe.
Good job bro! You didn't disappoint me. When i saw the title i was like please don't make me feel disappointed cuz u r one of the coolest YouTubist. But thanks for your honesty and objectivity.
I had no idea about this crisis. Thank you very much for giving a non-biased informational video about, I wish there were more people like in the world who would put out important information in a non biased manner
Thanks for this video! It’s a highly informative and a good starting point for me to explore more on this issue!
This is the greatest video on explaining an ethnic-conflict in a deep and unbiased way that I've ever seen!!!
Thanks for your hard work, Barb. You did a great job. Researching this kind of topic it's not easy.
This explanation was very important before the Myanmar episode. Thanks Barbs.
I had no idea. Thank you for a well done segment!
Please consider making more of these kind of videos! This was super helpful to understand this crisis better. Thank You so Much!
Thank you so much for not just being civil with the issue but also going into the history (which a lot of bias medias don't do!
As a Burmese, I never liked the Burmese military and so does my family, not sure for other Burmese citizens. My uncle works for the Burmese Military and because his bit of a lower rank or different from others, they treat him unfairly. While other gets paid, all he gets is basket of flowers or barely any money. Its maybe nothing to others, but money is really important in these kind of countries. It's just a little in depth, overall, loved the video!
Finally, someone says the truth.

So basically the Burmese didn't start this whole messy situation from day one, and both sides got messier. Government and the armies are at fault, and innocent lives are lost, this is just sad!!
Nothing to be sad about. If their allegiance was not to islam and they had made a genuine and sustained effort to assimilate, they would have been absorbed. But oil and water never mix. So they had to leave.
@siemenssx1 Are you part of the solution, or part of the problem, bro?
It was the muslims that got f***ed, not you. Or was it you that got onto the wrong end of the stick?
This crisis is started when myanmar's 30 police stations are attacked by the people who u all always call' pittyful bengali. "

Could you also talk about the Uyghurs and the Tibetans? They are also suffering under the Chinese and have unique and interesting histories and cultures of their own
Fun fact: Ghengis Khan used the Uyghur script as the basis for the Mongolian alphabet back in the day. Even now, if you look at Mongolian text it resembles sideways, vertical Arabic.

Thank you barbs, I love geography and everything as well, so I have bean following this issue for awhile, and hoped it would be mentioned. But as always, you cover everything!!
This is complex as hell and I really appreciate you trying to give context.
This was so informative and objective, just what I was looking for after seeing this situation referenced on TV. I’m imagining all the A+ marks I would have gotten and how much I would have learned if you had been my Social Studies teacher 😘😘
Thank you so much for digging in deep. As a Myanmar Citizen im not happy nor proud to say we have conflicts, but this is just one conflict, we actually have more than one. Comsuming our economy to the ground.
Great work brother. This is how a summary of information on a particular historical event or events should be done.
An unbiased presentation of the summary of the issue that covered all the bases and arguments. It has to be the best video on this channel till date. You may not be a journalist in the conventional sense but Barbs the way you talk about and explain tricky geopolitical issues surely supercedes anything presented by the current media outlets.
This was a very informative video, I haven't really bothered reading up on the conflict other than what I've heard in passing so thank you for giving context to the situation. Wish more media outlets made as much of an effort in research as you do instead of giving out their political leanings.
You really do a fantastic job explaining complex issues. Thank you for the continuing education.
@Geography Now, wow this was an amazingly informative video. Keep up the excellent work!
Good job, ironically you're better at describing the situation than major media networks.
Terrific work with this video! Succinct, unbiased, and very well presented 👍🏼
Thank you so much for explaining real problem without bias. That's so true, the problem is not about religion. There are many Muslims staying peacefully within in the major cities. Almost all media made up like a religious problem to get an attention.
It's like hong Kong for china...HongKongnese people are native,Rohingya are native..british took control hong Kong, Arakan.. British left,, china want hong Kong with people,,, Myanmar want Arakan but not people
Thank you for doing this video. It helped so much for a report that I had to do on the Rohingya Crisis, because you provided a comprehensive background to the situation, when every other source that I have looked at gives little or no background.
This was very helpful, thanks! I know your China video was a long time ago, but a similar explainer on Falun Gong would be awesome. Like you're not busy enough!
Explained this issue in a very neutral and clear way, Great job as always!
Thank you, Paul. It's good to shed light of this issue.
I have been wanting to know more about the Rohingya crisis, since I saw it on the news. It has been difficult for me to understand how the crisis started, because of how divided people and sources are about it. Your video does a great job in explaining it and looking at both sides of the crisis. I am looking forward to the Myanmar episode.
When I visited Yangon last year, I saw mosques and the muslim people everywhere and early in the morning I could hear the Azan.
There are many muslim ethnic groups here in Myanmar bro.Rohingyas speak bengladeshi their face just look like bengladesh they dont even know burmese language.
Not just Rakhine state and Rohingya. All you have to do is a real simple search for "anti-muslim riots myanmar" on any search engine. Let me ask you a question, what do you see? How many riots in the lovely city of Yangon you visited, or burning mosques in charming Mandalay? Some of you people are so lazy it's pathetic. I don't think you would get it unless somebody was burning down your church, beating up your neighbor, or looting your uncle's store.
@@flymetothemars4762 I agree with you. They are Bangladeshi illegal immigrants brought by the British colonialists.
@@illAkhi And nothing about the persecution of non muslims in Pakistan, Yemen, Syria, Egypt? No wonder muhammad himself murdered over 700 Jews of Banu Qurayza that refused to convert to islam.
@@flymetothemars4762 there are many peoples in india like the face of burmese and thousand language but everyone are the citizens of india even their faces are like you because they didn't judge them with their faces and language for example peoples of kolkata speaking is most similar with bangla language but it doesn't mean they are Bangladeshi but they are originally indian and kolkata is a part of india because a country can have more languages and more ethnics with different faces.
Honestly, one of the best explanations I've found.

@@dimitriliakos81 there is no leave to it. It's assimilate or rot in prison. Turkey and other Turkic nations have offered to take and help Uygurs.. China refused that and threatened to sanction them
Cool video .. I've heard of this crisis but never really understood it until now... you really gave good insight into their history
Thanks! This helped a lot. Now I'll find some additional information, but this has been a good starting point. Greetings,
dude, you are the most courageous I know on TH-cam. you put facts only. no personal views or nothing controversial.
I love how you kinda force the 'r' to get the sound right
Very balanced summary dude. (Not that I'm an expert)
This is great; keep it up!
Wow!! You r the most energetic guy i have seen ever in you tube channel.. The way you described all the things in a funny way is speechless!!! I hv seen your all eposides.. I m also a geography lover...
Whenever I searched rohingya case in google... It seems that most of them biased againts Burmese, saying human right violation bla bla... But now I got the full story...
If I've learned something in life it's that every conflict throughout our history was always about power and land. Religion/Belief was just the scapegoat or the "motivation" for the "peasents". And it's still the case...

Spot on. That's why we need to start by neutering the cult called islam.
Bruh At this point, i am starting to think that it (religion) might be a political tool smh
@@shzarmai religion is politics by another name. The primary objective of both is the same - to hoodwink the gullible masses and control them according to your agenda.
wow, that felt like we shared a table in the library and then you started talking. hahaha, that was fun! thanks Bro!
The best Independent and most factual video I've ever seen on the Rohingya crisis on TH-cam. Thanks for sharing this Barbs!!!
Paul, thanks so much for clarifying this complex issue probably better than many news outlets have. It's such an utter tragedy the mess that colonialism left behind once it officially ended.
Really informative content, sadly there is a lot of people missinformed about this very controversial topic..
Nice job
This is great content. Thanks Barb!
Surprised to see you making a video like this but thanks for shining some light on this
Very informative, thanks!
Thanks for the explanation. It is always better to know more about the History of these conflicts. It is never as simple as news and articles use to present it.
This and the episode from Last week tonight are so well made and good for bringing the problem out to everyone around the world
I’ve been trying to figure out what this conflict is All about. Thanks so much great video
Wow, this is unbiased, and very informative. Thanks for sharing this!
I’m gonna teach my class about The Rohingya refugee crisis, and I remembered this video! I wanted to pass the video to them, but it has no Portuguese subtitles 😩
It's like hong Kong for china...HongKongnese people are native,Rohingya are native..british took control hong Kong, Arakan.. British left,, china want hong Kong with people,,, Myanmar want Arakan but not people...you should teach this
That was an awesome video, i will always be looking for these videos to watch for all of my classes pertaining to world issues. What a great help
I absolutely love your videos, they are funny and educational, I remember in the Hungary episode, “DUHH I LEARNED SOMTHUNG!!!!” Keep up The the amazing videos
Hey, can you do a video on Scotland? That would be awesome!
Wait the Myanmar video is out already?
@@acermations4368
Ah ok
Do you happen to know when he's uploading the Myanmar episode? I've been waiting for 2 weeks.
This might be a filler video
Yes, you did miss a few important points but overall, a very objective presentation of a very complicated situation. I don't normally comment on political issues here, only to say that the western media has been feeding us with a lot of misinformation and fake news about this crisis, but you have tried to balance it with your unbiased report.
Thanks for trying so hard to be objective. That's part of what makes this channel great.
I’m Rohingya and I was born In Burma but I didn’t know any about mine own family, man this channel really helpful😃
@Nargish Khanam Myanmar
It was the most unbiased explanation.. Many people miss other side's arguments.. Both sides should be heard before reaching to any conclusion..
I couldn't agree more on what you said about looking at both sides of the story. I love how you explained with the least possible bias. Thanks for your information, this is a wonderful video :)
Barbs, you're awesome. Smart, informed, fun. Keep it up!
