    Globalization in action.
    This is the fountain show at the base of the Burj Khalifa tower.
    The song is sung in Swahili
    By a South African choir
    Music written by a Chinese-American composer
    Lyrics: the Lord's Prayer. Yes, in Dubai.

    (sound is required in order to appreciate this video)

    Never played Civ 5, but Civ 4 did use it as the intro.

    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    “Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedy.”

    To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.

    "The purpose of a university education for Left / Liberals is to attain all the politically correct attitudes towards minorties, and the financial means to live as far away from them as possible."

    This is a good speech by Emma Watson on Feminism.

    You should be listening to the words, not watching with your pants down.

    I don't think he has missed the point, I think he is purposefully deflecting from it and that is being intellectually dishonest.
