really?


really?


racism doesn't work there? from everything i read and heard about Dubai, it's really one of few places where open racism is part of life there.

1) build biggest building evar
2) close it over technical difficulties
3) ... ?
4) profit & world domination!!

hey we were the winners until ******s from you powder keg part of the world thought it would be a good time flying a plane into the WTC. **** you and the middle east. NOTHING but **** comes from there. Dubai doens't have to worry about that tower going down by a bunch of *****'s either. If America wants to take care of it we will at least give you a courtesy phone call. Keep strokin that sand ****** cock.

American show their true colors when expressing glee at someone else's failure.

Poor winner, even poorer losers Can't you guys give credit where credit is due? Sooner or later you will have to, as America slides down into second rate status.

Indeed, Americans are steaming with rage that we no longer have the tallest building in the world. It really doesn't mean ****.

Well actually The Americans havent had the tallest Office tower in the world for better than 10 years now. The sears tower was overtaken by a pair of buildings in Malaysia in 1998. There are 3 others taller as well, 2 in china and 1 in Taiwan.

Just sayin...

I remember we had a thread a year ago, where someone was defending Dubai and saying how great it was over there. We'll, we said otherwise and now we're proved right.

looooosers.

are you kidding? because of a big shopping mall and a tower that is failing? 2nd rate status? And what credit sir? plz explain that to me! Maybe dubai should keep dreaming.

That place looks depressing, unless you happen to be a mall rat.

Yeah thats it... nevermind it's been like 11 years since the US had the worlds tallest building and there are 7 buildings worldwide that are taller the ours.

I know. I didn't say that the Burj was what overtook us, the way I wrote it DOES seem to imply that though. My point was just that we don't really care that it happened.
