Freedom Tower No More!

[Formaldehyde]

I think you need to watch a lot more Comedy Channel.

It's a joke, son

 

[Shylock]

I just call it the Citadel after the Half Life 2 structure of the same name. Hell they even look similar.

Freedom Tower had connotations of names like the Ministry of Love.

Great, so from vacuous patriotism to conspiracy theory material.

Everything is conspiracy theory material

 

[SG-17]

They should put AA Guns or SAMS on the roof.

"One World" trade center sounds slightly peacenik. Freedom tower just sounds kind of ghey.

Maybe they should call it the Osama gallows pole?

Its not "One World" Trade Center, its One "World Trade Center." But yes, Freedom tower was quite horrible.

Couldn't they just recreate the damned Twin Towers? It may invoke some painful memories, but we already have them and are already outraged that we still don't really have a proper memorial.

OH NO! the truthers were right.

 

[Gogf]

Using the word freedom to help justify the deaths of a million Iraqi civilians is just one example of such perversion.

Right, because American invaded Iraq with the goal of killing a million Iraqis.

I've also thought keeping the name WTC was more of a show of strength. Sure, you can knock it down, but we'll build a newer and better one in the same spot.

Maybe they should call it the Oops, Sorry About That Tower.

 

[Rashiminos]

Call it the bailout tower.

 

[Love]

Call it The New World Trade Center.

 

[really]

Buildings official names and what they are known as don't always coincide.

Address: 30 St Mary Axe
AKA: Swiss Re Building

Best known as the Gherkin:

One World Trade Center is ok. Freedom Tower was abominable.

 

[Dachs]

We need to conquer the rest of the planet so that the tower's name makes sense.

 

[Miles Teg]

But just a little taller.

Knock us down and we'll come back even stronger. That should be the message.

I like that idea.

 

[Godwynn]

They hate us for our Freedom!

 

[Bill3000]

But just a little taller.

Knock us down and we'll come back even stronger. That should be the message.

Speaking as a New Yorker, I completely agree.

Rebuild them. Paint a target on them. With neon lights. And flashing run way stripes.And arrows pointing to the structurally important parts.
