Exult in your existence, because that very process has blundered unwittingly on its own negation. Only a small, local negation, to be sure: only one species, and only a minority of that species; but there lies hope. [...] Stand tall, Bipedal Ape. The shark may outswim you, the cheetah outrun you, the swift outfly you, the capuchin outclimb you, the elephant outpower you, the redwood outlast you. But you have the biggest gifts of all: the gift of understanding the ruthlessly cruel process that gave us all existence [and the] gift of revulsion against its implications.

Is that the building where the French couldn't even figure out how to put up a roof, for the '67 expo?"The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

I really love pretty buildings and skylines (especially nighttime ones).
So, which ones are beautiful? Pictures!
Also, general beautiful architecture! I prefer urban-style, not the gothic-style **** they have in Europe.

I guess this begs the question if you are a city person, a beach person, or a mountain person. If I wasn't so lazy I'd make a poll.
Buildings never interested me. I've always perferred mountains. God can create more beautiful shapes than man.
damn, I can't find the better picture they had on yesterday, I'll have to use this.
kind of silly people have to outdo each other for the worlds tallest building. It's not complete, so it isn't that tall yet.

You should start a beautiful mountain/landscape thread, Dis. I can spam that with pretty Calgary area pics again of that theme."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."
