    Personally I think adding a thin pole at the top of your building is cheating a little. Like, I could add a 200 ft radio tower to the top of my building and edge out in height over my competitor by 10 feet. But is my building _really_ 10 feet taller?

    Yes and no. On wiki for instance, both heights can be displayed: with or without the spear. Moreover, some building have grown taller over time when the spear was or is a radio antenna than was added or remplaced and onceforth increased the whole building size. So there are the original and the current height.

    If God wills that the Church have vast wealth that your pathetic self can never attain in a hundred lifetimes, you can not look at us upright Christians with a broken heart. All of these poor people must have sinned in their past lives since they are not in heaven, and this worldly life is their just punishment.

Then again, the Washington Monument isn't a building either and the video is titled tallest structures so...eh what the fuck do I know. I guess he just forgot/didn't know that. Call him a filthy uncultured American or something whatever makes you happy.

    Hey Cody, you forgot the Eiffel Tower, which was built in 1889 and considerably surpassed the Washington Monument in height. It held the record of highest structure until the Chrysler Building 40 years later, so it definitely needs mentioning. And since the Washington obelisk (not a building) is in the list, then the Eiffel Tower (also not a building) absolutely needs to be included
