UNESCO awards Tel Aviv World Heritage site status!

Azazel, not anymore, I took care of it . Come on, don't get pissed off.. besides, scandinavian (even if we're not scandinavian) prisons are luxurious compared to any other prisons, excluding few older prisons meant to hold some of the more dangerous individuals.

Ok, I'll cheer you up. Want to hear something screwed up from out country? You remember the newly elected politician, Tony Halme, the huge guy whose face Stefu uses as avatar? Former bodyguard (in US) and wrestling star (in US too) known for his huge muscles and controversial opinions? Well, just yesterday he fired his gun, that he doesn't have permits (therefore being illegal firearm) in his apartment, supposedly accidentally. He had been drinking all day long and day ended like that. Heavily armed cops assaulted the house soon after, and found the champ there, and instead of shooting first, they had to give him oxigine mask and rush to hospital. He had been partying a little . Good publicity. Oh yeah.. he was so messed up that even to this moment he hasn't been able to be questioned. All they know is that supposedly he didn't try to shoot his wife, and that he was in life threatening situation because of 'little partying' and it is not confirmed what other substances has been found from his apartment (not necessarily anything illegal though). So, there you go. I hope that cheered you up .

So, Bush is just a big ***** compared to our super politicians.

Azazel, and I like the second building. I think the first one is rather boring and typical looking office building, second one is interesting and pretty cool, and I don't know what to think about the third one, I'm still undecided. It's kind of retrofuturistic..

[Az]

No need to cheer me up!

[Pekka]

yes you do.. you obviously got offended

I'd streak for you, but you are not here to see it, so there's no point. I'd run around the house couple of times and yell 'free willy!'. That would cheer you up in no time! I know how to cheer people..

[Az]

I wasn't!

[Gangerolf]

they obvioulsy didn't get that status for their beauty

[Az]

What do you consider a nice building, then?

[Gangerolf]

I don't know... Something warm and cozy if you know what I mean. Bauhaus is a unique style but I find it rather sterile and cold.

[Az]

It's not warm and cozy, I'll give you that. But it IS aesthetically pleasing.

[Spiffor]

I can not understand how any tourist would want to visit a Bauhaus building. I cannot even athom the idea of a tourist saying:
"Tonight, Darling, I've got a surprise for you. We are going to the airport, and taking the plane straight to Tel Aviv's Bauhaus heaven"

Besides, I can't understand how anybody would want to conserve Bauhaus building. Better to destroy them and replace them with something interesting

And Az, I know Paris' ordinary buildings look all the same (heck, they were designed to be so). I don't think they should be conserved at all costs. However, they sure shouldn't be replaced by these horrors

[Az]

Next you'll arrive to Paris, spiffor, I'll prepare a surprise for you.

Anyway, get your ass back to the new commie/capitalist thread, aka. government-owned bussinesses.

By (my) definition, only skyscrapers can be pretty.

[Kuciwalker]

I think they look nice (the Tel Aviv buildings)

[Az]

So, no pretty buildings in your town, Eli?
