http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20101215/wl_mideast_afp/uaehotelchristmasoffbeatSome things come to mind with this news.Rich people basically rule the world, they set the rules on which society operates and we all just follow whatever the status quo tells us is the best way to live, to progress, to develop, etc.Rich people also think it is cool to spend $11 million decorating a tree.From both statements it follows that we live in most absurdly stupid world possible.Human kind really couldn't get more pathetic if it tried.

It only costs that much because of the diamonds and other valuable decorations. It's not like they are going to just throw away that stuff so it's not really going to cost them that much.

I think it's beautiful. If I had 11 million dollars just laying around, I would buy a tree like that. Light up the entire neighborhood.

I think the bigger news here is that this Muslim owned hotel in a Muslim nation erected an $11 million tree for a Christian holiday.

That tree is cool but not worth 11 million in my eyes.

there are others in the Emirates, especially in the malls. this one gets notoriety for it's extreme costs. There are also Christmas tree's in the West Bank (Palestine), and even can be found at houses and open areas in Lebanon. places where there are a lot of Christians, be they foreigners or citizens. but i expect everyone to point to my country as though my country is the one mark for the entire region....

If i had the money i'd buy 20 million christmas trees, THEN DO WHAT WITH THAT MANY CHRISTMAS TREES YOU MIGHT SAY!!? well no need to shout, but i'd bundle them together to make 1 big massive christmas tree.

Logically of course !

I just couldn't resist the opportunity:P
