But... that being said, let me clarify what I meant. What I meant is that offending someone with this building design was not intended. Yes, T.L., I'm sure they used blueprints. I'm saying that no one would have pulled out the blueprints and said, "Gee, do you know that one day in the future, when search engines have satellite photos of everything, someone's going to be offended by the fact that this building is in the shape of a swastika." No one intended to hurt anyone's feelings or to be racist. That's my point. Yes, I'm sure the building is shaped the way they meant it to be.

Are you telling me architects just didn't have the blueprints, and constructors made the building from scratch? Right, yeah I believe that... note the sarcasm Obviously accidental my ass.
