by **MeDeFe** on Wed Dec 20, 2006 3:03 am

Have you told the terrorists so they know it, too?

by **stinkycheese** on Wed Dec 20, 2006 3:38 am

So what's the purpose of this building?

by **reverend_kyle** on Wed Dec 20, 2006 3:43 am

Memorial?

Sort of like the oklahoma city bombings memorial.

by **stinkycheese** on Wed Dec 20, 2006 4:02 am

Did the Oklahoma City Memorial cost 2 billion dollars?

by **reverend_kyle** on Wed Dec 20, 2006 4:04 am

No, but did 3000 people die, plus the casualties of the irrational war path we took afterwards?

So if more people die then more money is spent?

In our capitalistic society, yes.

Not sayin its right, but thats how it is.

This is also sort of America trying to say "f*ck you" to the terrorists.. by saying you can take our building but we'll waste all our fucking money building it back up.

I don't quite understand the ideology that the "terrorists" would care if you built another building on the same spot. And if they did care why isn't it a success for the terrorists...we wasted 2 billion dollars and we show that we were affected by the attack so much that we build a memorial.

Although this may sound fucked up to some people...wouldn't ignoring everything that happened on 9/11 and going on with your lives show the "terrorists" that they didn't win?

by **bluereaper** on Wed Dec 20, 2006 8:17 am

I basically agree with you stinky...unfortunately thats not how our socoieties run

I said that in world affairs and the teacher made me draw a punishment slip.

"The Freedom Tower is more than a real estate project. It is rehabilitation for those hurt by the terrorists and a way to heal the scar on a nation. Part of the healing process is new growth, which this tower represents. "

Man, you ooze with liberal, commie rhetoric! Yeah its a waste of money to build a tower but we can waste it on social welfare, funding "art" that ain't worth the brush it was painted with, saving the spotted owl, and continuing the "war on global warming" which is an absolute FABRICATION to begin with. :roll:

by **KoolBak** on Wed Dec 20, 2006 11:38 am

Dammit...assuming Jay agrees with this statement, I agree with him on something! LOL!!

I firmly believe in this ideology.

by **KoolBak** on Wed Dec 20, 2006 11:39 am

aaaarrrrgggg...The spotted owl...why did you have to bring that up?

Actually, they taste pretty damn good......

IRONY METER!!!

oh, you know it...its the goverments way of getting us to use more oil... :roll:

It'd be better if we just rebuilt the towers, as they were, but with one extra story and stronger than ever before.

That would be a proper memorial, and that would be the proper response.

EDIT: Oh God, I'm only gonna say this once. Global Warming is real, we've had oceans that cover the earth before (hence aquatic fossils in arizona), however it is a natural phenomenon and humans aren't the cause of it. We certainly aren't helping, but we also aren't making it much worse than it would be naturally. Let's just get over ourselves, we aren't so amazing that we could heat up an entire planet.

by **Backglass** on Wed Dec 20, 2006 12:47 pm

The amount of money it costs is nothing in the grand scheme. It will make that back in under 10 years, as it will be some of the most desirable (and thus expensive) real estate in the United States. Remember, it isnt/wasnt a "national monument", but a very large and profitable office complex.

...and it will be again.

Start of FREEDOM TOWER.... replaces WTC.
