Ann Coulter: Build Them Back

Actually, mosques are about the only things these animals won't attack. It was noted by Task Force Ranger in Mogadishu that pretty much the only buildings that weren't looted or destroyed were the mosques. The only thing they have any modicum of respect for is the symbology of their twisted cult.

The world trade center was a government financed boondoggle. Resurecting it would be a mistake. It was not financially feasible when it was first built (and could only become "successful" with the help of government funds) and it will not be feasible today. Let it die.

Since these monsters even considered blowing up the UN, I don't think even chained to Yassir would protect you.

EVIL IS NOT RATIONAL

[Chemnitz]

No, I just want to go with Yasser, me to heaven, him to Hell.

That's because you're not looking at their hair, meyer, but their faces and um..I'll leave it at that (smile).

Heh Heh!!

Actually, I really do like their hair the way it is. Seriously. Straight, silky smooth, and full bodied. (Sounds like a good beer). I'm just not one to go for some of the more elaborate hair styles, I guess. Not that complex isn't nice as well on the right woman, but I like the more conventional styles, I guess.

[Paul C. Jesup]

I would like to see them build something greater and grander than what was there.

Something like the Tyrell Towers from Blade Runner, or Genom Tower from the Bubblegum Crisis OVA (Anime).

Or at very least, two of those ‘mile-high’ towers that architects and engineers have been designing to build for the past decade.

Don't need an elaborate hairstyle. A little curl would be nice though.

Not surprisingly, Mohamed Atta loathed skyscrapers. Newsweek reported that he viewed the emergence of tall buildings in Egypt as an odious surrender to Western values. The most fitting memorial to the victims of the World Trade Center attack is to build the most breathtaking skyscraper in the world on top of Mohamed Atta's grave.

BUMP TO THE TOP! Three Cheers for Ann!

For some reason, I just got this terrible feeling that I was about to get asked that eternal question, "Do I look fat in this dress?" You know the question; its the one that no matter what you answer, its wrong.

Seriously, I like their hairstyles. I certainly would like them with a curl as well, but I prefer straight. That's just me.

Now, on us guys, hair is grossly overrated. Besides, in my case its hard to style razor stubble and a bald spot. Not much to curl there. :^)

[Pokey78]

Ping for the ACPL.

[GretchenEE]

The archies and the fire departments should figure out a way to get the people out of highrise, damaged buildings from every floor before they do this again, or they're asking for more needless deaths, not just in case of another terrorist attack, but in the event of fire. Over 1100 people survived the impacts and had time to get out but were sealed in their doom by being on the upper floors.

[Zeroisanumber]

We could barely fill two 110-storey towers pre-9/11 and won't be able to post-9/11. I'd like to see the towers replaced, but it doesn't make economic sense to build them and then leave them 3/4ths empty. Besides, who would insure them? And what company will take the chance of putting their HQ on the top floor now?

[chimera]

And what company will take the chance of putting their HQ on the top floor now?

One with vision, faith, and courage.

"this article is especially brilliant". You've got to be kidding. Look back in the article for the word "evidently". That's a word that's supposed to connect a premise to a conclusion. Look at the conclusion. Then hunt for the premise. Hearing people on FR say Ann Coulter is brilliant is like listening to Palestinians go on and on about Arafat's integrity. It's embarrassing.

[Zeroisanumber]

...and stupidity. You might as well paint a target on your chest and plan to run your office without insurance. No company will do that.

[ConsistentLibertarian]

"An absolutely brilliant essay". It was pathetic. She quotes Augustine saying "the house of God is itself a city" in support of the proposition that it's better to have a skyscraper that's taller than 70 stories than one that's merely 70 stories. She thinks Augustine was making a point about the relative value of 70 story and 70+ story skyscrapers? Ann couldn't connect a premise to a conclusion if her life depended upon it.

[Brasil]

Ann writes good reading. Of course we should rebuild.

[ConsistentLibertarian]

"Ann writes good reading". Given how you write, it's not so surprising you'd think so.
