[QUOTE="Gaber1999"]And to the person saying there is extreme polarization ( either one is rich or poor), well that is capitalism.-RocBoys9489-

Which makes it right?

By the time the city is completely finished, It won't be "polarized." I'd move there if the opportunity comes up in the future, the Air Force has great benefits!

The polarization is between Dubai and the surrounding areas, not within the city itself.

indeed. History is nothing but class struggles between the bourgeoisie and the proletariat. The bourgeoisie constantly stepping on the proletariat, exploiting the workers... If only it was possible to end classism.

Wow. Hopefully Dubai will help change the entire middle east with their thinking. I hope they embrace Democracy also.

The US should start doing this stuff again.

HOLY CRAP! A middle east country with real buildings? NOWAY!Ilived
are you trying to annoy others with such statments? I ask that because you hate most middle eastern countries. at least that's what I've picked up from seeing some of the things you've wrote in the past.

HOLY F*CKING ****!!!!

Its the city of the future and heaven on earth! Looks so amazing, I have to go there at least once in my life...

The huge tower they are working on, the one that will be three times the size of the Empire State Building, reminds me of building up your temple in Black and White for some reason, lol.

It's because of places like Dubai that our planet is going down hill.

Sure, those building are nice and all, but they are made by slaves in all practicality, who get paid only a few dollars an hour for extremely dangerous work.

Secondly, the money used to pay for all this was stolen from the citizens... all of the money from the oil in those countries goes to only a few people. The workers get paid nothing, and live in poor "developing" nations... they live like the stereotyped African slave.

Thirdly, they are tossing around energy from oil like it's an unlimited resource. They have a god damn indoor ski hill. In the middle of a god damn desert. WTF?

Lastly, it's not a city, just a tourist attraction.The only the rich citizens that are in the oil business can afford to even live there. The workers live in small town around Dubai, poor as all hell.

We sit thinking how wonderful this is, and yet we wonder why our planet is screwing up so quickly?

I strongly do not think that is the reason.

What I think he's trying to say, is that the architecture contains no culture, and is just simple modern wash-over from some hired designer. That and it was all made with oil money and slave labour in all practicality. But see my last post to see why Dubai is such a terrible place, albeit good looking.

I'm not sure what that has to do with anything. But to answer your "Why?" question...Did you look at the pictures? The buildings all look the same; there is no diversity or original thinking the the design, they are all spaced way too close together; without thought to usage, the heavy ornamentation is quite out of place for the region; it's looking like Las Vegas II.

Architecture for architecture's sake is a bad move.

I know thats why I said Arab people suck coz my bro saw how they treat all the people working for them, Most of their workers are Pakistani and Indian and my bro says they treat em so badly its just sad
