    I'm pretty sure there will others BASE jumpers always want to jump off the tallest building in the world.

    There is plenty of color. This is like me saying Britain or America doesn't have enough because there is too much green.

    Matt, where in Israel do you live? A desert part? Does the sand look ugly? I always liked deserts.

    Jerusalem. It's not a aesthetically modern city, lot's of sand and historic structures, and I like it that way. It has never bugged me.

    Ah yes, I also like it when a city doesn't have skyscrapers.

    Here stands the tallest building in the world.
    Here stands one of the most beautiful works in human history.
    Here stands a marvel of modern architecture.
    Here stands the pinnacle of human advancement.

    He sees the fucking sand...

    I'm not talking about the building which is a work of art (but Kara will say otherwise) I'm talking about the city in general.

    Deflect the ignorance of your statement by throwing someone who isn't even involved in the discussion under the tracks.

    That is Kingdom Tower, which is being built in Saudi Arabia, a country that is primarily sand. Yet it is still both beautiful and a marvel.

    Nope. Kingdom Tower is going to be the mile high one. Well it's supposedly going to be a mile high anyway.

    From a distance they pretty much look the same.

    EDIT: Come to think of it, I was right, look closer, the original pic was the tower in Dubai.

    Your right. They look amazingly close to being the same thing. Surprised with all the money going in to Kingdom, no one bothered to make it unique.

    Chives your new sig pick if fucking hilarious.

    Also you can tell the pic is Dubai and not Jeddah because of the different styles of architecture. Dubai has buildings that look thin, tall, and roundish. While Jeddah Buildings look short, wide, and blocky. Which is why Dubai is better.

    I am normally too busy getting drunk at some hole in the wall while in Dubai to notice the architecture, so I will take your word for it. Who knew that a whole bunch of businessmen could spawn such a Vegas like atmosphere in a place that doesn't even allow legal gambling?

    I like how they advertise Dubai on the internet about "Everyday is an opportunity" and then shows a woman in a Burqa.
