Wow. Remind me never to look at the comments section when innocently searching out gorgeous music.

Damn flame wars.

All countries have good and bad qualities and do good and bad things.

The End.

You may all go home now.

The human spirit is alive and well ladies and gentlemen

all country's faced corruption at one point. only now we hear about all of it in other country's because of media. they need to get over it themselves and we need to stop treating them like babies.

Africa was seen as an opportunity to invade an gain more land back then, look at the effect on it now...corruption, etc. They were never given a chance to thrive

This really reminds me of adiemus by Enya. It really has that epic spiritual feel! Love it

[IceCrewYerholz]

to be honest i rather feel for the us folk, the system there just sucks, and the common people are those who suffer. people suing on whims, the screwed up marriage system, the mockery of the feminist movement, and the need to "liberate" any country with oil is just sickening.

but europe, while more caring for human rights (YET), does other disgusting stuff, mostly economical ones.

and while politicians play their dirty games, the deceived people suffer the mistakes of those in power.

...I like you, the world needs more people like you, yes America has a lot of problems but then, so does everywhere else.

[brainwasher9876]

that's like pointing at a french guy and saying, "he's speaking the white language".

Swahili is not a language spoken by one "African tribe". It's a language spoken along East Africa.

thank you!

Consider the airplane, Direct and alternating current electrical grids/batteries. Consider also the record, record player. Consider also nuclear technology, penicillen, cereal, interchangeable parts within mass production. Mass production itself, the cotton gin, the modern computer, the internet........etc....... What has europe and asia contributed again?

Syphilis and hate groups, terrorists and communism? I can play that game to, so try looking in a mirror once in awhile.
