Other than that, I love to see the influence a tiny island nation of less than 3 million inhabitants has on the world.

not all of these are so positive...

they really did not list any of the spiritual/educational aspects that came out of jamaica..

personally i think the drake video in jamaica is more of the same old re-hashed ideas about the rock being overly exploited...

they can add one more to the list now too---

&quot;one of the world's most dangerous drug &amp; gun-trafficking criminals&quot; as the media claims...

i can appreciate where this piece is coming from, but we have to be careful we don't become known for certain things to the exclusion of other things...

god bless jamaica

Yes, jah_yout, they could have listed Marcus Garvey, Colin Powell, Claude McKay, and many more, but I don't think it is an educational type of website.
