This is true, but do you know what? After the fifth strawberry-smelling electrical fire, [I]I stopped trying to make toasters out of jam.[/I]

What does making apartments instead of a hotel have to do with morality?

If the building is of enough cultural and historical significance then it can be protected. However, you can't just protect every pretty looking building in London, otherwise there would be no room for development.

Create an equal stateless society by creating a giant state run by a select few elites.
ehh excessive old-fashionedness and fanciness makes me uncomfortable
I'd rather have some sleek minimalist post-modern place
[QUOTE=sloppy_joes;43019607]It is. IIRC you can use other commonwealth countries embassies if your country doesn't have an embassy in that city or whatnot.[/QUOTE]
I think in some places they use the same building, I know the UK and Canada share (or are trying) to share embassies at the moment. I read somewhere else that Australia shares embassies with another member of the commonwealth in some places.
Building is probably chock-full of English bugs, and I'd bet most of them still work. Wouldn't be surprised if they partially tear down the place and rebuild before converting into apartments.

Oh goody, I now know where I can annoy them so I can go to Canada. :v:
Imagine if you bought the whole thing and just lived in it.
Massive convenient central London mansion, probably very safe and secure and with hundreds of rooms.

You should learn how to write before making political commentary.
I wouldn't call the USSR the model of communism either.

Can I get an example of model communism?
Soooo...where are we moving to? Are we going to build a hat shaped floor on top of the American embassy?
[QUOTE=Sobotnik;43031458]Can I get an example of model communism?[/QUOTE]
there are none beyond the actual base idiology.
Communism never worked in real life. I said the USSR wasn't a model for communism because almost immediately after it was founded they allowed limited capitalism.

They introduced that form of capitalism because the economy was collapsing and there was a famine going on.

Assuming you're referring to the NEP, that 'limited capitalism' actually made the Soviet system more similar to Marx's envisioned state-socialist program of "from each according to their ability, to each according to their work" than the previous War Communism, where everyone lost all their work no matter how hard they worked.
