I dont want to believe that. The poll was there to accommodate a suspicion I had about how this thread would turn out, and indeed I was right.
People cannot focus on just looking at the building in the picture, but have to pepper this thread with negative stuff about the building, its function and generally negative stuff about North Korea. If this building was American people would have reacted in a completely different way.

See that building I posted above? The gorgeous one? That was designed by Frank Gehry. Frank Gehry is a ****ing CANADIAN. Despite that fact, I still like that building.

What, besides your desire to prove that Americans hate it because it's in North Korea, would make you think otherwise? It's a butt-ugly building.

Hey, guys --

Here's a building built by those evil Soviets -- what do you think?

Actually almost everyone HAS looked at the building in the picture, and determined that it sucks. It's one of the ugliest buildings in the world. Just because people don't agree with you doesn't mean they avoided the question.

Uhh isn't that what the thread's about?

The functionality of the building is certainly fair game in determining if it's "cool" or not.

You're right, people would have reacted completely differently. Especially you. You would've started multiple threads lambasting America and questioning how the government could've wasted so much money on such a piece of crap. And most Americans would've agreed with you. Especially if it had cost 2% of the United States' GDP while there were millions dying from starvation.

Can you read??

I NEVER asked about the stuff around.. I said the building is North Korean, INFORMED that it was North Korean, I said that first, that it was North Korean, as information, so, to sum it up, I said it was North Korean, and then I asked the question. I never asked about the stuff around..

Get it? Do I need to explain this in further details to you for you to understand it?

I wonder how many North Koreans they could've saved from starvation with the 2% of North Korea's GDP they spent to build this abomination.

Thats not the question.. I Wonder how many Americans they could have saved from poverty if they didnt go to Iraq..

Not relevant to the discussion. The question is simple, is the building nice/cool?

Yeah.. And should that matter when you are going to look at the building and answer a question which should be simple even for you.. Is the BUILDING nice/cool?

How come 28% think its one of the nicest/coolest buildings they have seen, while there is no middle ground and then 42% thing its not cool/nice at all.

Why is the in betweens almost empty?

If they don't have an opinion either way, they probably won't vote.

If you knew about real estate, you would know that it's all about location.

If you were just wanting comments on the architecture, you wouldn't have loaded this poll like you did.

I am asking a question about the building, not its location.
 
It's ugly and useless. Anything that takes form over function to the extreme degree that the building does is pointless. Just how much space and materials are wasted on that piece of junk anyhow?
 
I actually think it looks better in the shots of its construction, without the monstrocity of glass in the middle. Without the glass, I'd say its a cool looking building, a seeming mesh of classic with modern design. With the glass, it looks like a gawdy ugly thing, not bad, but not exactly what I'd want a building to look like.

hmm. thats exactly the opposite of what I think.. I think without the glass it looks terrible, and with the glass they just put on it, it looks quite cool from a distance.

Kind of looks like a rocket though...
 
This building is absolutely hideous. There's better examples in North Korea, as well as other "anti-American" states that you could have chosen.
 
I don't care what anyone says that building looks ****ing awesome.

It looks fit to house The Dark Lord of the Underworld. And that's a good thing, a very good thing.

If the location of the building is irrelevant as you claim, then why do you once again bring up the United States?

And for some reason, you seem to have mistaken me for a supporter of the war in Iraq...not that it has the slightest bit of relevance to this thread. :doh

No. It's an abomination. Definitely a top contender for the ugliest building in the world.
