Reply #13: Was that the documentary about the Barg Dubai (sp?) [View All]

The building that will be 165 stories tall and include a mall, a hotel designed by Ralph Lauren and many smaller (60-90 story) buildings?

If so, that building is absolutely amazing and disgusting at the same time. While 75% of the citizens live in abject poverty, the ruling class is building these huge structures like the Barg Dubai and the indoor ski hill. We see the huge sparkling buildings in pictures without seeing the hundreds of thousands living in nearly prehistoric conditions not so far away. The situation is not that far removed from the pharaohs and their pyramids.
