TOWER OF HATE: Racist and sexist slur-filled graffiti covers inside of new WTC

New York Daily News ^

[Pan_Yan]

Isaiah 9
8 The Lord has sent a message against Jacob;
it will fall on Israel.
9 All the people will know it—
Ephraim and the inhabitants of Samaria—
who say with pride
and arrogance of heart,
10 “The bricks have fallen down,
but we will rebuild with dressed stone;
the fig trees have been felled,
but we will replace them with cedars.”
11 But the LORD has strengthened Rezin’s foes against them
and has spurred their enemies on.
12 Arameans from the east and Philistines from the west
have devoured Israel with open mouth.
Yet for all this, his anger is not turned away,
his hand is still upraised.
13 But the people have not returned to him who struck them,
nor have they sought the LORD Almighty.

was it in Arabic?

“Although I suppose we could build it in Mecca...”

But it would take space from the BBQ stand after mecca gets glassed.

4 Then they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches to the heavens, so that we may make a name for ourselves; otherwise we will be scattered over the face of the whole earth.”

5 But the Lord came down to see the city and the tower the people were building. 6 The Lord said, “If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them. 7 Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other.”

8 So the Lord scattered them from there over all the earth, and they stopped building the city. 9 That is why it was called Babel[c]—because there the Lord confused the language of the whole world. From there the Lord scattered them over the face of the whole earth...

Some people have way too much time on their hands, and the national emotional IQ must have fallen to sub-juvenile levels.

As soon as I was no longer a child, I set aside childish things.

"Sticks and stones may break my bones, but..." is a rhyme intended for children who are immature mentally, emotionally as well as physically, and need a means to control their immature tendency to have hissy fits and get physical when called names. Presumably, adults need no such crutch.

I am embarrassed to be the target of such a puerile extended written whine.
It is despairing that such garbage is deemed journalism in an adult world.

I make this declaration without the need to state my age, sex, sexual orientation, political orientation and national origin.

Although I suppose we could build it in Mecca...

The s*********s have their own tower in Mecca, much taller. No reports about graffiti problems there, but then, they don't have a Bill of Rights.

Saw my all time favorite in a porti-potty on the Vermont side of the Ticonderoga ferry in 1975:

For all you Indian chefs:
This is a tee-pee for you to pee-pee,
not a wig-wam to beat your tom-tom.

Hahahaha...well, I did have one instance of bathroom graffiti that stuck out in my memory...

When I was on the USS JFK in the Seventies, I remember a stall that had the initials B.O.C. (stood for Blue Oyster Cult) written on the door. It was there for a while, then I remember going in one day and someone had altered it like this:

It said "Brothers of Communism"...that struck me as nothing odd, and it was on the door for about a week (had to look at it every time I closed that door) then the next thing I know, all the departments on the ship had to have a discussion with the crew about the hazards of getting involved with that kind of political system, etc.

I thought it was hilarious...I'm sure some dumb nuts sitting on the can just wrote that up there and thought he was being clever, and next thing we know, our officers had to act as political commissars in the US Navy!
