It's a tall fucking building
I dare say people can fuck other places as well. No designated building necessary.
But no place as tall can they fuck
where?
Why in dubai of course, where do you think all that money you put into those gas pumps goes
and you wonder where all your offering money goes, to god of course! because the more beautiful the building, the more god loves us!
All I can see is blurry atmosphere. I swear I heard death clouds are bad for you... I swear...
>>247888thought so, but i would have expected more tall buildings around it. not so much contrast between the heights.
>>247888That looks like a giant land cock spooging
As of OP's pic, that thing has 162 floors. 24 floors per inch 6.75 iches tall on that pic.
The number of skyscrapers being built in Dubai is crazy.
hmm Citadel ... City 17 ... suppression field ...
>>247888like 70% of gas money is government tax
and when the oil runs out this will be another ghost town
>>248070Fucking retard. These buildings are built with oil money so that they can attract tourists when the oil runs out. Or did you think they were apartments for the oilworkers?
>>248070>>248071I think you're both missing why buildings are being built in Dubai... because there's a high demand for commercial property in Dubai due to their almost nonexistent economic restrictions and taxes.
>>248081And to elaborate, it's not just oil companies occupying those buildings. There's countries from all over the world who do business there and take advantage of the lax restrictions.
It's SAMSUNG who are building it. This has nothing to do with oil money or whatever. The UAE get a whole shitload less cash from oil than other countries in the area.
>>248070Must be some ignorant american.
>>248135Ironic that you think ignorance == Amerikkkan
>>247872Just wondering, but how do they get the cranes up there? Do they construct them up there some how?
>>248168usually the cranes are built on the construction they're working on, so when they complete a few floors they disassemble the crane and move it up a few more floors. theres new technology out that's outdating this method but it's still used.
>>248170The people who operate those things must have no fear. I dont think any amount of money would make me do that.
>>247949The dubai skyline is to the right, off picture.I was there last winter and what they're doing to the place is quite amazing. As someone mentioned - the oil is not going to last forever, therefore they build a tourist state.
Wow, nobody beat me to it?Tall building is taaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaallll.
>>248213AH I LOVE THIS PLACE...THERE'S NO NEWS LIKE OLD NEWS!ahhhhhhh, loving it!
>>248175no shit. i'm not really afraid of heights, but goddamn. i don't think i've ever been that far above the ground and not been in an airplane.

I love Dubai.When the oil runs out, they'll be set rolling in tax money.
>>247962Great, now I can't unsee it.
hmmm i think the only other place that can rival those ridiculously tall skyscrapers would be Shanghai.
There is no fucking way that costs less than the new Dallas Cowboys stadium.
>>248626that's what i was thinking. don't get me wrong, i'm stoked as fuck for it. 2000 years from now it'll be the known as the cooler, way more awesome coliseum with the biggest tv evar. but goddamn, why can't we have buildings this tall in dallas? i live in plano about 20 miles away and i bet you could see this from here if it was in downtown dallas.
>>248071how they gonna get there when there's no oil?
Actually Jeremo, it does rival those buildings. The Burj Dubai is the tallest building in the world, even surpassing the CN Tower. The CN Tower will, however, retain the title of "world's highest civilian-use floor", with the upper observation deck still open to tourists.
Fly some planes into it and we'll see how high the arabs build shit once that happens. I think it's time they lived in fear too.
I have been up the CN tower into the viewer portion. It was pretty sexy. It's like a glass bubble and you can see all around for miles.
>>248734Yeah, since all Arabs are to blame for 9/11 and since all Jews are responsible for the death of Jesus.
>>248734wow, ignorance to the max!live in fear?? that was like a month, Afghanistan has been living in fear the past 6 years with your fucking redneck agenda. and Arabs have nothing to do with any of that.
Still, not better than this. Long Live City 17!
>>248734lolol @ the jealous amerikkkan
This thing is a miracle of engineering. It's hard as hell to build buildings that tall since the winds at those heights get pretty insane.And I have to say, I do love the minimalistic design of the Burj. I'll be off to Dubai in a while, hopefully, and see it myself.
>>248734Lulz, do you live in constant fear cuz of 9/11?
>>248070Doubtful. Like Michael Jackson, expect all wealthy criminals (OJ, the Bush family, the Bin Ladens, Cheney's family, and everyone else fleecing the US) to be moving there pretty soon. Halliburton already relocated there too.
>>248769True. The collapse of the dollar is a controlled collapse, to keep the people asleep for as long as possible.In before "there's nothing wrong with the dollar and the stock market is higher than ever". It doesn't matter if stocks go up if the dollar is often devaluating a cent per day.
>>248770Controlled collapse to keep the people asleep? A cent a day? Jesus, you're retarded.
>>248878Yeah, that's a bit extreme. Although...Nations all around the world are dumping the dollar as their reserve currency.Direct effect visible here:http://www.x-rates.com/d/USD/EUR/graph120.html
All I have to say is enjoy your Amero.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amero
