Sure, just look at all the destructions that took place in London, Paris, Rome, Athens, Seattle, San Francisco, New York, Miami, Tokyo, Hong Kong, Singapore.....yada yada yada

Like it or not, progress is coming to your neighborhood---sooner or later....progress is what the majority wants may it be Mickey D's or huge malls...in a democracy, the majority still and will make the rule :D

 

well as Chur chill sauid the best argument against democracy is a five minute
interview with the average voter
progress as viewed by the masses is not progress
unfortunately the masses usually haver low IQ;'s and bad taste
why is it that MaccD's is popular, Britney Spears sells
and the tabloids do well
as i've said the masses lack taste and intelligence
I was hoping that as Du maguete was a university town
it had a populous with higher wants and needs than shite food
andf tacky malls
I also thought Dumu attracted a better class of expat
judjing from the posts here I see this is not always the case
thats why earl left
You mention Rome
and Us cities in the same sentence
so by that you obvioulsy know zilch
Roman times prided itself on fantastic tasteful architecture
don't think you could say that about any Us city
Perhaps if the Roman empire had not fallen we really would be living in a "progressed" world rather than the tacky bad taste world we now have

 

Taste is abstract & to each's own opinion. Whether or not you feel the majority of people have good taste in food, music, art, or building structure isn't important here....The important thing is---I am just glad all those aren't being determined by a single schumuck...Like Kim Jung Il of NK. You need to wake up and smell the coffee and to learn to accept majority & democracy cause this is where you're at & the world is moving towards my friend.

 

well unless you are a schmuck i think everyone can agree
that the decor and architecture of hayahay is in good taste as opposed to M acD's which is in very bad taste indeed.
the world hasn't even got close to proper democracy and never will
given the clout advertising and other manipultive tolls large corporations use
over the populace

 

having variety is nice yabs.

 

Dang,

You've insulted the locals, the expats, all cities, that doesn't leave to many more things before you can say you hate the world buddy.

 

its a beautiful world but almost ruined by greedy thoughtless humans
where can we see nature as nature intended?

 

I think I gave you a list of highly attractive (for you) islands to live on...

Most of them does not even have power, you will be in amish heaven...

 

I think on the list you gave him one was sierra leone.
