We are upgrading to an even bigger tower

[Taliesin]

I favour "Fawlty Towers" myself, but they never asked for my input.

 

[King Flevance]

I like the it should be something like Triumph Tower but that sounds to close to Trump Tower. So maybe spin the freakin word Freedom into Independance Tower? I dont know, I am going to McDonald's and get some freedom fries.

 

[Tenochtitlan]

Towers of the great Satan would be awesome

 

[King Flevance]

If it was named Tower of Satan I would be out of America tomorrow in fear of God's Wrath that would be sure to show up somewhere. Then passed off as "a freak occurance"

 

[Tenochtitlan]

But if you are innocent, why do you have to fear God?

 

[King Flevance]

The bible teaches all men are evil at their hearts and lead by temptation for selfish reason. I know I have sinned. Jesus is trying to help me out if I am willing to try at helping myself. Only through his actions will I be spared before God. I am not an "innocent". God is not all forgiving as alot of people say - otherwise, why is there a hell? God is disgusted by the ways of man. Without Jesus We would never be able to be forgiven as God would never be able to show compation towards the temptations that lead us astray.

But why will he smite you for somebody else's naming of the towers?

 

[Gogf]

Maybe I'm just easily amused but for some reason I take immense pride in the fact that an even bigger and more beautiful tower is replacing the old twin towers.

Kind of a statement that not only did we survive your sucker punch attack, but we are coming back even stronger.

I agree entirely. You did your worst, but now we're back, and we're better than ever !

He smites the kingdom if the majority believe in the name. Or at least this is shown alot in the Old Testement. With the New Testament he may wait for the final day to pass final judgement. I will just move and be safe, I dont want to be in a kingdom that celebrates Satan anyways.

How about nicknaming the skyscraper "The Finger"? That's what it'll look like...

Yet he would have spared Sodom if there were just 10 good people living within it...

Instead he led the good people out so they wouldn't be destroyed in the mess.

 

[King Flevance]

That story was to IMO show that he knew the very faith of the people inside on an individual level. Good point in pointing that one out though. However, as I said before if America named towers after Satan it would just be the straw that broke the camels back. Gimme a plane ticket to Australia.

 

[warpus]

They should call it the World Satan Center just to get people like that ^^^ to leave.

I'm just happy that they're building anything at that site, but I have to say that I'm not impressed with the plans. The new WTC was designed by committee, which means that it was based on a compromise between memorial, commercial development, and showmanship. Even after its design, the NYPD complained that security concerns were not addressed, so it was redesigned again. Its nothing more than some nondescript office buildings, some open space, with the Freedom Tower standing out like a sore thumb to "show" that we haven't been beaten. Above the 70th floor, there are no offices, just indoor parks, due to fear of an attack from above again. This unambitious project suggests that we're scared s--tless of being whacked again.

Really?

What a pathetic waste of building materials and office space, then.

Well this is cool, but it will be NOWHERE near the tallest building in the world by the time the next decade rolls around.

Check out these lovely towers:

The Burj Dubai

Its exact final height remains a closely-guarded secret, but is believed to go well beyond the estimated 705 metres and is estimated to have 200 habitable floors, which would make it have almost twice as many floors as that of the Sears Tower, Chicago which currently has the highest number of habitable floors (108).

The Al Burj

Like the Burj Dubai, officials have said the tower will be at least 700m tall although the official height will remain secret.

The Fordham Spire

At 2,000 ft (610 m) tall, including a 1,600 ft (488 m) high roof, it would surpass Chicago's Sears Tower and New York's Freedom Tower, which is to be 1,776 ft (541 m) tall, as America's tallest tower.

Man, look at the size of those monsters!

 

[Irish Caesar]

They're all hideous.

 

[CaptainF]

They're all hideous.

As in not aesthetically pleasing?

[puglover]

1776 feet? Awesome

 

[Irish Caesar]

Meh, it's only a third of a mile.
