I didn't want to stand in the freezing cold with a bunch of tourists and then trek for hours to the metro. It's historic, but not worth that. Maybe when a dog or a fennec fox is elected president I'll stand out in the harsh DC cold for 12 hours.
But that is what patriotism is all about, you fool!
Imagine one of these as president:

I've never seen you post anything combative/aggresive/argumentative or really flame the hell out of somebody and that to see you say something like that to Pissydon was like rage from another member so I wrote omgshitfight. If you every tell anybody on here to 'Fuck off you fudgepacking cuntface' I'll think ww3 has broken out. Or the sky is falling or something.

I'm a strict moderate.
I like being neutral, or at least chill. It makes life more enjoyable sometimes.

I'm sort of in a state of emotional repose. I used to be seeming manic depressive. In recent times I have been enlightened to certain decent aspects of life. It happened seemingly overnight, my metamorphosis in to relaxation.

Not gonna read the whole thread:

No it's not unpatriotic. People who quantify patriotism on things like the name of a tower, the usage of lapel pins and taking off your hat during the national anthem are idiots.

@Turqoise I think the reason that people are still more... attached to 9/11 than the tsunami because the tsunami was, as you said, a force of nature. Fucking terrible, but nobody could really control that. Whereas 9/11 was orchestrated by human beings, people who could have easily at any time decided that they shouldn't hijack planes and attack a country.
Good points...

Yep. I always thought that was the best idea. I mean, what an awesome way to say "fuck you" to Al Qaeda. We build 'em bigger, better and structurally stronger. Shame they didn't do it.
why rebuild 2 massive buildings with 80's architectural style, in the 21st century?? those towers were hideous...

And no, putting 'One' in front of World Trade Center is just as retarded as calling it the Freedom Tower imo.

I think otherwise. The "One World" thing makes it universal, and not just American.

[the communist within]Also, it's a clear message of corporate greed being borderless and global. The tower is so high, you can see new 3rd world countries to exploit from the top.[/the communist within]

The "One" in One World Trade Center refers to its address, nothing much to do with unification of the world.

That's what I meant though. The only thing globalised trading markets has done is divide the world's rich and poor even further. It's a ridiculous name for it. Whacking World on the front of Trade Center makes it a universal thing.

Putting One World in-front of it is just retarded.

Don't you get it, One is not in the sense of "One World" it's in the sense of "1 World"

It's the address, I think the North Tower (of the Twin Towers) had the same address.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Tower

The address of this building was 1 World Trade Center with its own ZIP code of 10048.
