“He may be wealthy but his taste is up his arse”

Built by a Muslim/Mogul emperor. Notice the resemblance to a mosque with minarets

“He may be wealthy but his taste is up his arse.”

- Personally, I like it although I wouldn’t call this piece of architecture ‘appealing’.

You and I never seem to agree on anything, do we.

Guess you hate Turning Torso in Malmö too:

LOL... Kyoto exempts India, he'll be selling his unlimited carbon credits to you through Al Gore's fraud company.

He doesn't have to worry - India is exempt, like China, Mexico, and all third world countries from signing on to Kyoto.

I'm sure alGore will pass an edict that compels them to keep the pollution in their skies from crossing borders...and the pollution in their skies is going to increase exponentially as the big companies pick up their skirts - those that haven't already - and move to these countries where they can pollute to their hearts content. * wouldn't that mean even MORE pollution in the atmosphere?

Yep - Kyoto - what a scam

It’s not what I’d choose if I had that kind of money, but it’s not necessarily a bad thing. With a domestic staff of 600, that means 600 families being supported, not a bad thing, really.

If this is an accurate pic of what he is building, it looks like a pile of old DVD players painted gaudy colors.

“Is this a diffferent one from the one a month ago?”

- Could well be, as these news is a bit old by now.

It’s hardly the same article though, as an article of a specific URL, technically speaking, can be posted only once to this forum (as far as I’ve understood things).
