Meaningless? Everything in life is meaningless apart from eating, drinking, ****tind and ****ing. And yet we soldier on every day and give meaning to all sorts of things.
Well so could anyone else if they bothered spending the same amounts of time and money on it. That's not a source for national pride, it's a question of priorities. Personally, I would question the logic of spending these quantities on what amounts to a national vanity project, but there you go.
If you choose to invest this vanity project with some personal meaning that's up to you, but the fact that they mean fùck all to me doesn't make me a foreigner or a *****.
