The plumbing in that building is based on the "trickle down" theory.

Dubai was a shiathole before they went on their bulding boom. Now all it is is a shiny shiathole with some nice hotels.

If I live on the top floor, I'm not too concerned.

That's a lot of Jenkem.

Geez, what a sh*tty job that would be...

The desert will reclaim whole countries once that oil dries up or we go green and don't need them anymore.

Municipal sewer systems are socialist conspiracies.

"My father rode a camel. I drive a car. My son flies a jet-plane. His son will ride a camel."

Sounds like the building has a system, but the city doesn't. Or did i read the wrong article?

I am glad the US isn't the best example of unsustainable growth. In 50 years i am sure colleges will use dubai as the textbase example. Now the real question is are we capable of learning anything from it?

So ... money can't buy everything? Like class?

At least it's better than dumping it the ocean.

Has a sad.

Will a concerned citizen raise a stink about this sad example of faulty urban planning? If so, will that citizen be called an enemy of the people?

Take a trip to the M E and you can see first hand that money does not buy taste.

category_five: Municipal sewer systems are socialist conspiracies.

Yeah! How dare they take my shiate and give it to somebody else. Who's hauling truckload of shiate, waiting in line for 24 hours to dump it into a larger pool of shiate.

/Plumbing is the cornerstone of civilization. That and politeness.

So... they can afford to pay hundreds of truck drivers to sit around but not to build a pipeline for sewage?

Playing tennis 100 stories above the ground without safety measures is far more important than plumbing.

Rent Party: Dubai was a shiathole before they went on their bulding boom. Now all it is is a shiny shiathole with some nice hotels. shiathole and overly expensive hotels with tacky decorations and seedy bars full of trafficked women forced to work as prostitutes

Hehe, I found that funny too.

You win


/next time, try doing some research on a country before you berate it. For all intents, Dubai's oil money dried up years ago. IIRC, less than 5% of their GDP is from oil now.

what difference does it make, it also doesnt have any tenants

Knowing Dubai it's quite possibly both.

What do you suppose that suspiciously net like ring around the court is?

Maine is a fine state, so they talk a little slow there is nothing wrong with that.

It's a really tall building. By my calculations, the poo should reach terminal velocity, increase in speed due to the poo acceleration effect, and then break through the earth's crust, being safely disposed of in the burning magma of inner earth.

Seriously, Muslim wipe their asses with a young boy's tongue ... I lived there for 10 years, I saw them do it.

WordyGrrl: /Plumbing is the cornerstone of civilization. That and politeness.

If that's true, they are double screwed. When we were in Dubai, I can say without hesitation, they were the rudest, most self-centered, entitled people I have ever met.

lordargent: /next time, try doing some research on a country before you berate it. For all intents, Dubai's oil money dried up years ago. IIRC, less than 5% of their GDP is from oil now.

yeah but they still shiat in trucks.

For a while, Dubai scared me. Now, I know it is unsustainable and will be the first to go when the shiat (probably literally) hits the fan.

Rezurok: What do you suppose that suspiciously net like ring around the court is?

That was a helipad that they converted into a tennis court as a publicity stunt. So that suspiciously net like ring around the court is actually a suspiciously net like ring around the helipad :D

Maslow's Hierarchy: So... they can afford to pay hundreds of truck drivers to sit around but not to build a pipeline for sewage?

That is infrastructure, which is a socialized function. You know, planned growth. It is what we do not want in this country.

Isitoveryet : yeah but they still shiat in trucks.

Next time, RTFA.

/sounds like the shiat from the building goes into tanks, then gets pumped into trucks, because the sewer system can't currently handle the volume of shiat from the buildings.

/septic tanks (and outhouses for that matter) are still used all over the US, it's not like our shiat don't stink.

I'm sure HH The Emir Sheikh Rashid bin Saeed Al Maktoum is devastated by your finely crafted critique there Fabio.

Pretty much this.

I had ONE customer turn up his nose at my baklava in my years of making it.
He was Jordainian.
I guess it was against his superior upbringing to eat something that had been prepared by someone who actually knew how to cook phillo with WASHED hands.

While that's true about the GDP, they depend on tourism, most of those tourist are from other oil rich countries, or at least it seemed that way. They like Dubai because of the relaxed laws and standards. They can drink and gamble and whore it up. Once the shine wears off, if it hasn't already, no one will want to go to the shiat hole. As the man says, once the oil dries up, that place will return to dust pretty damn quick.

Oh my god, you are actually white-knighting these shiat flinging terrorists.
