I'm very happy for you, Toxic, that you were kidding about the F.U. thing, but some people aren't.
"Oh geez, Kittenette, lighten up. How is it immature? It's an idea, nothing more, nothing less. And if I was serious, what is so wrong with that? Granted I'm not a big one for using the "bird", but are you telling me that you have never flipped off someone? <shakes head> Plus, I don't think very many people would even know it was a hand..."
Off course I've given people the bird. I'm a New Yorker born and raised, honey, so please don't patronize me. I find it beyond words that you are seriously thinking about that as an idea. Am I losing my mind here?! Does no one else think that's nuts?! What has our world come to...
But what I was saying is, it's immature because it's STUPID. Giving the terrorists the finger, ooh, I'm sure that hurts. Poor Osama, did FuzzySlippers insult you? And yeah, everyone would notice that it was a hand. Most NYers are surprisingly intelligent. I'm having trouble finding the words to express how astonishing I find this. Someone help me out.
Love,
~The Kitten~

Yeah, same here Kittenette. I can't find words to describe how pissed off and saddened I get when I read some of these posts. Its obvious that many draw conclusions without understanding the situation is in New York and without consulting with the hemisphere of ur brain called common sense (F&U, a finger). Oh, yeah: I think anyone can figure out that its a hand.. Fuzzy.. you're not the only special person  Diva said, >>i think that it should be left up to the people of New York. i honestly don't know what the hell is going on over there<< That's so true -- thank you diva. I was reading these posts and i was thinking, **OMG, you ppl need to leave us alone and F**k off** Now, I didn't post that b/c y'all have your right to express what you think... But I was shocked at how stupid some of them were... Okay, they're a joke but a VERY sick one. The towers have to be rebuilt: that IS a memorial. The prupose is not defiance and "showing the terrorists" has nothing to do with it. Obviously there will be a memorial: there already is one nearby and no dobut there will be something built on the site. NYC has already lost tons of business, but it is the impact on the people that is the worst. The sky is so empty (no, it doesn't need 5 fingers u sick ppl) and its so odd not to see them... I saw the beams of light that shine where the towers were last night on my way home and I cried... its so incredibly sad, not only for the people who died and their relatives, but for everyone in New York, who lost a part of themselves and their city. They can only fully recover by rebuilding the Twin Towers (not necessarilly as tall, but tall enough) Basically, give constructive suggestions here, not sick & offensive jokes. (fyi, there isn't enough space in NY to build a hand) |

I personally think they should rebuild the towers. Yeah, let's put the bullseye right back up for the terrorists.
I do have a question for that OX guy...what do you mean by population control? Have you ever heard of Company Flow? You sound like one of the guys in that group.

Even if I have expressed my opinion before, I agree completely with what diva wrote>>i think that it should be left up to the people of New York. i honestly don't know what the hell is going on over there<< . I have friends in new york and I can't possibly even start to feel their grief and their emotions concerning the towers.
I think you new yorkers have done a great job so far and that the decision should be left to you

I personally think that the people of NewYork should make their own minds up if they want the re-building of the WTC  Soz if I offended any1 |

I'm divided on this topic, but I think they should build something, not a business centre, but a memorial.
Just to let everyone know, that's not from NY, (I'm not either), but my dad just got back from a business trip there, and he said the WTC area is like a big empty sandlot, but it's huge, and there's a hole about six storeys deep. It's surrounded my memorials and construction trailers fixing surrounding buildings.

^Just to let you all know:
They completely finished cleaning up at Ground Zero today. In fact, they laid down new cement where the sidewalks were damaged.
How do you guys feel about this?
Love,
~Mike

I'm glad that the clean up has finished. But I don't think that new towers should be reconstructed in their places. It's a memorial now. And like a lot of other people said, if we did re-build them, it would be like setting ourselves up for another attack by another stupid group. Now why would anyone want that kind of grief and anger and confusion and hurt again?

I haven't had time to read all of the posts but as a New Yorker who lives 20 minutes away from where the WTC used to be, I have very strong feelings about this, but I don't know which way to go. My dad has been working down there at the site for a while now, and trust me, no one has ever seen anything like this. Its terrible, the sky is empty, theres nothing there.
First, I think that nothing should be built, that would be like building something on a graveyard. Tons of people died there and there should be nothing but a memorial for those people and their familes. I do not think that doing this would give into the @$$es that did this or anybody would would, its just that not many people would want to work where so many people died anyway, espically with such a high attack rate.
But, then again, I feel like we should be towers that are higher along with a memorial just to show that the New Yorkers, and Americans, will not just drop off the face of the earth because of this, and that we are stronger and more united because of it. I think that the towers should be built taller and just not have people work anywhere near the top floors, just in case of anything. Or that a few smaller towers should be built.
Its very hard to decide what should happen, espically for a New Yorker, who personally went through this, how can anybody decide without making someone else unhappy? Why would you want to build towers where so many people died and work there with such a high risk that it will happen again? But, why wouldn't you want to build something to show that we came out of this strong? Either way, is it possible to make everyone happy?

I don't think it's viable either to turn the entire area into a memorial, or to re-build the towers. The first because surface area in NYC is at a premium, the second because no one would insure it and people wouldn't want to work there. Yes, there needs to be a memorial, but there also needs to be rebuilding.

M ostly because these threads stay dormant for weeks and I'm bored at work:
Yes, they finished the clean up. Something does need to be built there. It would be impractical, if not unrealistic to expect that even though Ground Zero is sacred ground, it should be left empty. There's too much business intrest in NYC for that to happen and I'm positive that there are businesses just aching to set up shop and call it _______ at Ground Zero. The free advertsing and product recognition and association would be incredible.
As to the other posts: No we did not experience the attacks directly like some of you did, but we still are/were affected by it. The tone of the posts were not immature and the like, they were expressed out of frustration, anger and possibly hate, toward our new enemy, al- Queda. If it's suggested that anti-aircraft weapons be mounted all all roofs of New York skyscrapers, then so be it. Call it frustration. What CAN we do? Nothing directly. Some of us would love to walk up to an al-Queda member and tear his stinking head off. But that's perhaps barbaric, then again, they thought nothing of attacking us, so who is more barbaric?

I said undecided, because I don't know if they should rebuild the WTC on that very spot. I mean, that's a lot of real estate in New York, and you can't just leave it alone and not use it for business. But it's a little creepy to build something right on top of where thousands died...what did they do with Pearl Harbor? Isn't it still in use? (Sorry, my history's not very good!)
You have to think practically-business is big in NY and they need a place to..um..trade shtuff.
Ok, now I'm all confused, so I'm still undecided!
