Tallest buildings in the World Lined up

[agthekid]

I live in Jacksonville and our building look huge.

I can't even image building in another city.

Might seem smothering.

No thanks.

I've lived there, you get used to the heat just as you get used to the heat in Southern California. Strict, Islamic laws? True, but only if you're Islamic. I'm Catholic and there is a huge Catholic church there if you thought the whole country was Islamic.

Word. If you're not Muslim, you're in the clear.

Let's say the year round heat, social climate, and desert setting weren't a problem, why would anyone, who had a choice, want to go to Dubai? What does Dubai offer that no other place offers? Tall buildings?

i'm gonna have to cosign with this dude. i'm really not impressed with dubai. they're just gonna rely on tourism the next few years.
prolly ain't nuttin in those tall %$% buildings.
