This was in 1992. I like how George’s example, that we only help one another after a flood, no longer even applies in the US, as you have people arguing some people from some places shouldn’t be helped even after a natural disaster.

      Yeah I kind of hate that last part in the clip. It’s like when people say a skyscraper is “phallic” by design…as if it could be any other shape. Are pencils phallic, too? It’s weird to me when people apply sexuality to non-sexual design

          Skyscrapers go in places where horizontal expansion is not an option. The only direction to go is up, it’s coincidence that dicks are also pole-shaped

          Every record-breaking structure will be bragged about for whatever makes it record-breaking. Bridge length is a braggable measurement, too, but nobody says they’re phallic
