- pehpsi, on 12/06/2007, -11/+42We all know Bono is really just a giant turd.
- f4nt0m4s, on 12/06/2007, -5/+34I'm going to fly a Jefferson Airplane into it.
- MacSuxWindozSux, on 12/06/2007, -3/+22The tower of Babel is a biblical disaster story.
It's like building a boat and naming it Titanic. - Pirate45, on 12/06/2007, -4/+22YEAH! YEAH! YEAH! YEAH! YEAH! YEAH! YEAH! YEAH! YEAH! YEAH!
- Triachus, on 12/06/2007, -0/+13Here here. I'm not sure if people are digging you down because they hate U2 or because they don't know what they are talking about. High density development spares lots of land from lots of low-density development, although this might just end up as a giant, worthless shrine to U2.
- witte, on 12/06/2007, -5/+18REAL environmentalists applaud tall buildings, because they pack more development in a smaller footprint. This is what we WANT. Habitat destruction is the greatest threat to biodiversity. The solution is to build up, not out.
- WeirdEdsel, on 12/06/2007, -1/+13True, but if you RTFA, you will notice that they are simply calling it the "U2 Tower." The headline's "tower of babel" is just playing on words. You got it, but only half way.
- McDuffy603, on 12/06/2007, -5/+17When Bono inevitably campaigns against his own project, will the world implode?
- InfinitySnatch, on 12/06/2007, -1/+9Well then get to it Kensei.
- Aleut, on 12/06/2007, -1/+8What they fail to mention is that the first three stories of the building will be referred to as the first, second, and third stories, but after that the numbering will suddenly jump to 14.
- inactive, on 12/06/2007, -14/+21U2... most overrated band.
- afdlips, on 12/06/2007, -4/+10biddy biddy.
- pitdog, on 12/06/2007, -0/+5Most so called environmentalists are today's version of marksists.
Bunch of dirty morons with beards and old torn sweaters as one ofTo them the classics would say.
To them everything is offensive, too tall a building, limit the speed on autobahns and other stupid ideas.
Get a life! - jerkfaceirl, on 12/06/2007, -4/+9I live next door to this. It's already gone ahead and they're laying the foundations right now.
It was on hold for ages while they sorted out the architecture but now they've hundreds of workers on the site, waking me up at 6am everyday.
***** Bono. - witte, on 12/06/2007, -3/+8Nature cannot cope with 1000 people farming 10 hectares ea. of low-yield crops. Sustenance farming is selfish and innefficient. It causes habitat fragmentation, which leads populations of wildlife to die out. Innovative breeds of ultra-high yield crops in hot agrizones are the most desirous. So that's that. And your Final Solution is horrific, if you meant it, or just not funny if you didn't. Heavens Gate might be interested but I'm not amused.
- kevinmotel, on 12/06/2007, -0/+5Both entitled to their own opinion.
- squegie, on 12/06/2007, -2/+6He *is* the record!
- valeried, on 12/06/2007, -0/+4design has changed since then, here is a link:
http://www.dublindocklands.ie/index.jsp?1nID=94&nI ... - iceman0113, on 12/06/2007, -6/+10But he could never shed the fact that he was really... ...a number two.
- Mjuboy, on 12/06/2007, -1/+4OMG, Hax!!!1
- VModulus, on 12/06/2007, -1/+4Here's a rendering from the architect's website: http://www.bcdh.com/LevelOne/U2Tower.html
- tehrob, on 12/06/2007, -4/+7Strange, the page has a different photo of Bono.
- inactive, on 12/06/2007, -2/+5yeah, more than 60 Courics large.
- Axim, on 12/06/2007, -1/+3haha i cannot dig this up enough
- hakluytbean, on 12/06/2007, -0/+2Fair enough. But no-one has posted this clip of a "catastrophic technical failure at a U2 gig":
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8EDuK46ZqFM - Zbrah, on 12/06/2007, -1/+3It's nice that the site wasn't all smug and *****...they seemed more like realists than environmentalists.
- Alpione, on 12/06/2007, -2/+4What's he supposed to do? Walk?
- jerkfaceirl, on 12/06/2007, -0/+2High Res Architect concept art:
http://www.dublindocklands.ie/files/business/image ... - Triachus, on 12/06/2007, -3/+4Hah. Dublin's "eco-conscious". We call them NIMBYs and they aren't conscious of anything but themselves. These hypocrites claim to be ecological yet they don't want to spoil the view.
- mal1964, on 12/06/2007, -0/+1oridgeal story..http://www.smh.com.au/news/environment/u2-embroile ...
- titan0814, on 12/06/2007, -1/+2So, they are planning on a Window in the Skies?
- bluemist, on 12/06/2007, -1/+2Environmentalists complain about building the tallest (but not so tall, 32 storeys) building on a city full of tall (but not actually) buildings?
Are they better off not building buildings at all? - inactive, on 12/06/2007, -2/+3Why?
- Rotzooi, on 12/06/2007, -1/+2O, to have gazillions of dollars...
- valeried, on 12/06/2007, -2/+3this story is sooooo old! Been planning the U2 tower for a couple of years at this stage.
- mal1964, on 12/06/2007, -0/+1in
- mindboggled, on 12/06/2007, -2/+3Wittiest comment EVER! You cynical bastard! I laughed out loud for at least a minute. Cheers!
- inactive, on 12/06/2007, -2/+3First they want streets with no names, and now this. Come on Bono, get real.
- MacSuxWindozSux, on 12/06/2007, -0/+1I don't need you telling me how it is old man!
- ajamison, on 12/06/2007, -1/+2OK everyone, we've all heard the South Park references by now. If you plan on coming up with another highly witty response invoking that episode, move along, or just digg one of the million other comments saying exactly what you were going to say.
- thebellmaster1x, on 12/06/2007, -4/+5Everybody's entitled to their own opinion.
Except when their opinion is that U2 is a good band. - domokunt, on 12/06/2007, -2/+3He wants to emulate his dad by creating a giant piece of crap.
- DirtySnachez, on 12/06/2007, -9/+9I would disagree, nature cannot cope with 1000 people / mtr sq.
I say, eliminate 3/4 of the worlds population and get back to sustainable crop-driven small societies where people matter, not corps. - BahJayJay, on 12/06/2007, -1/+1Nooo Papa Noooo!
- inactive, on 12/06/2007, -3/+3I just wish someone would rip those stupid glasses off his face.
He's an utter moron. Talks about the environment, but jets all over the world in a private jet. - jerkfaceirl, on 12/07/2007, -1/+1Do you know what a lease is?
- Alpione, on 12/06/2007, -2/+2Environmentalists complain about -everything-.... You can safely tune them out...
- wipis, on 12/06/2007, -1/+1I'll be blondie's tower any day. Hehehe...... I'll be quiet now.
- WinterRaven, on 12/04/2008, -0/+0I feel like this is no big accomplishment...anyone with a little money can make a 10 story building. I used to live in a 33 story building in New York...which I am sure towers over anything they have...it is certainly larger than anything I seen while I was over there....
