Â Their lives were not worth the space where they died? Â You can't have a memorial there? Â Hmm... That reminds me of the peanuts reward on information leading to Usama's capture. Â Divide it be the number of deceased and what was it $5000 USD per person? Â I don't remember exactly.<span id='postcolor'> Its perfectly fine to want to know why they hate and do the things they do. It still does not mean that we should be afraid and not build up buildings anymore. According to the rationale thats going on here people seem to think that if the terrorists destroy something we should be afraid to rebuild it. Thats just ridiculous, You can learn why and work to solve the problems and still continue to live your life. Please read fully before you say: "what about the 3000 people that died there? Â Their lives were not worth the space where they died? Â You can't have a memorial there? Â Hmm..." I have already said they are NOT building over the bodies. The old towers "footprints" are being left alone. Thats were the park and memorial are going to go. i worked there for 10 years and i personally knew hundreds of people who are gone.

I'm not trying to say that never rebuild, even if it comes across as that. But the threat stil remains and now the target will be even taller. It ends up being upto New Yorkers, it's their city. I don't know, it may help New Yorkers heal emotionally, but it will frustrate the so called enemy more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A park, Memorial, Hotel, Office & Commercial Space are ALL going to be built there. I think its a great idea to make a new tower. But i will be bashed now because i am American and i said that and there seems to be a lot of that going on here lately. Â <span id='postcolor'> You are not bashed... You are certainly not bashed cuz your american... You know, it get's pretty annoying when you use your nationality as an excuse for everything. It's like a foreign man blaming everything on racists: What? It's raining? Is that cuz i have another colour of skin? WHat? I'm not allowed to work here? You racist! I hate it when people do that, sure there are US haters out there, but there's no need to blame everything on people who 'bash' you the whole time....

Jinef 2 Posted March 1, 2003 You could get the Russians to build you a nice building, i really like the onion-top buildings! As you can tell i just bask in ignorance compared to the Norwegian and Swedish guys, how do you know so much about architecture you two? The SR-71 loses most of it's fuel on takeoff right? It goes at mach 3 and the Americans say that there is no material that can deal with the expansion however the Russian Mig 25 can go at mach 2.8 (i think it can push it to mach 3 as well) and it has no problems with fuel leaking out. If you want a heat retardant and fairly pretty building just ask the Russians to do it, but of course the Americans are still all bitter about the cold war even though bugger all happened to them, it was the Europeans who got occupied.
