    I'm impressed how they kept the cranes from knocking into each other.

    Plus the interior finish takes a long time.

    This method of construction, BTW, was invented by the Japanese. The Chinks, as usual, merely copied it.

    And as far as speed? The empire State Building in New York, 103 stories, was built in under 13 months, including the massive rock foundation work and interior finishing, during this county's worst depression. And it's a work of art with stainless steel exterior, rare marble and hardwood interior.

    Copying, particularly construction methods, is essential for progress. You, unless you do absolutely nothing, like you dont eat, you dont drink, you dont wear clothes, you dont drive or ride, copy. we all copy.
    Anyway I'm sure that little comment of yours was just a way of saying 'chinks' and hoping to offend someone.
    Very, very childish.

    Is it as childish as your usage of the word "yank"?

    The very definition of "progress" requires thinking outside the box: which the Chinks, apparently, are unable to do.
