critical theory on the freedom tower

[cbtfan666]

We should stop this and concentrate on the cordoba house instead ;) :D :P...

[nlosborne]

@nekrorider do you not want these towers built?

[katlovesall]

Do you know if the tax payers are paying for this new construction?

[magnusalexa]

@katlovesall insurance scam is paying for it!!!!

[AceOfHeart2012]

Duly noted. I misspoke. They are still conspiracies, just not hidden in the shadows anymore. Thanks for the clarification. Peace...

[rob13740]

@AceOfHeart2012 YEP the new freedom tower is modeled after babylon just like the first..If people would research they will find that just about every city in America are modeled after babylon.I found some interesting stuff on google sattilite today.

[AceOfHeart2012]

Freedom for who? The elitist reptilian controllers? I'm sure that the poor of New York wouldn't even be allowed to set foot inside that cluster fuck of a building. It's the final piece of the 9/11 Money Cult Ritual. P.S. Remember: They're not conspiracies if they're true...

[TheSturgeonGeneral]

@AceOfHeart2012

no, they're still conspiracies if they are true

[y0utub3r12345678]

pfft.....someone's just going to knock that Freedom tower down...

[flowflurry]

i hope they do this time no one get hurt

[Boxcutter7]

just because there were 3 buildings that were demolished with explosives doesn't mean that they should build 2 or 3 in their place (or at least not have all 3 anywhere near as tall as the previous buildings) - what a waste of money.  The new buildings better not have asbestos this time around.

[PaperClip459]

you and your conspiracy theories...

[Quake4and6]

Man this building sucks

[alexrm82]

Why can't we have the less expensive and more NYC-style "Twin Towers II" ?????

Why should we accept a building in asian style in NYC, like this orrible Freedom Tower?

[Hilary112]

oh my godness i hate this freedumb tower!

[Naoufalitos24]

is the freedom tower taller than WTC ?

[gamepro103]

if u dont include the intinea sry for spelling) than its is the exact hight.

---peace---

[bjm351]

without the antenna its only 70 stories of livable room, so in reality its a fair bit smaller than wtc! the turbine scaffold and then the ariel combine to make the tallest structure but not the tallest building!! i wish trump could rebuild twin towers!

[MasterMark123]

What the Hell is a Meter ???? THIS is America, we talk FEET and YARDS here boy !!!!! LOL

[lernisto]

i put the measures in meters so almost all the world could understand them, sorry about guys in the US, Myanmar and Liberia!

[PJSJ22]

I don't understand the point of this video. This notion can be said for almost every skyscraper that has been built or is being built. The Freedom Tower is an OFFICE BUILDING. That means employees from different companies WORK in the building. It is a plausible workplace for people to earn a lving. Poverty has nothing to do with the contruction of skyscrapers. There is no visible link to impoverished New Yorkers and the Freedom Tower...

[lernisto]

it's a synecdoche

[JohananRaatz]

Stop your whining. There are far more important things in this world than just ending poverty. I for one don't want to a see the Freedom Tower -a symbol of the resolve of our nation- cancelled just because someone is moping about poverty. If we took care of poverty in the 60's we would never have gone to the moon.

[lernisto]

same thing

[thepianolover4ever]

we cannot take care of every poverty situation. by that time, there wouldnt even be any money left to develope or build anything. poverty is a never ending problem. stay in school. get your education and dont be stupid.

[lernisto]

the USA is among the first in GNP and still can't manage to have social wellfare, unlike many european countries with less money...

[JohananRaatz]

But who says we want the kind of social welfare that western european countries have? For example many people don't want single-payer healthcare because they would be disallowed to purchase more healthcare if they have the money. Just because some other country has something doesn't make it desirable.

[gamepro103]

correct me if im wrong but your making socialism sound like a good thing.

---peace---

[nekrorider]

well, walter benjamin was indeed a marxist, i'm not into planned economies, but i think we all agree the USA has enough income for paying much better social wellfare and the fact that one of the richest cities has 1/5 of its population living in poverty is a good way to show this contradiction

[hara001]

A socialist country like France eliminated poverty. However, the average size of their houses is 1000 sq. foot. In north america, the average house size of the 25% poorer is 1,200 sq. foot and the average of everyone is 1,800 sq. foot. They eliminated poverty by making everyone equally poor. It is the only way that poverty can be eliminated. The poor don't work, therefore no system can eliminate it.

[Theuf28]

@gamepro103 LOOK AT YOU GUYS NOW!! LOLLL

[rob13740]

@thepianolover4ever Are you serious.If all the wars over oil would stop every child in the world could be fed.People are starving while americans have food eating contest and play games on worthless tv with food.You are out of touch with reality

[magnusalexa]

@rob13740 well said MR, my family find it offensive that i wont go to their alcohol drinking sessions which they decorate with food eating celebrations, but i find their ways offensive so i wont participate.

[magnusalexa]

@thepianolover4ever there arent enough jobs to go around for everyone to be higher educated and to find employment that needs that, did they forget to teach you that education isnt everything and we need uneducated persons just as much as educated ones

[grazio15]

the twin towers look like shit the freedom tower si the best tower ever

[DFDalton1962]

Bizarre coincidence: I happened to have exactly the same piece of music (3rd mvt. of Saint-Saens' 2nd Piano Concerto) playing on my stereo in the other room when I clicked on this video. I briefly thought I was going nuts.

What was the point of my post? Same as this video. Essentially nothing.

[lernisto]

what? this is brahms

[DFDalton1962]

Yes, the music is obviously is the Rondo from Brahm's Piano Concerto No.1 now. Hard to think back to 7 months ago, but I'm absolutely sure I wouldn't have mistaken Brahms for Saint Saens. The original poster must have changed the music.

[WTCTribute]

That peice of shit isn't the freedom tower. The Twin Towers WERE THE FREEDOM TOWERS!!!!

If we work now, we can get this shit stopped, and we can have what made New York, New York.

[ebola111]

Freedom Tower=WTC It's designed much better and as a whole the new WTC is much better than the Twins.

[edmannumber1]

its 2 late

u just have 2 have the new freedom tower in NYC

[WTCTribute]

It isn't too late. It isn't too late untill the building at least reaches floor 30. Untill then, we fight for Ground Zero!

[edmannumber1]

what made new york become new york weren't the twin towers

the freedom tower looks better than two giant boxes

[WTCTribute]

Lol, it does? How is that? If it's better, why is most of America against it? If it's better, why were those "two giant boxes" attacked?

Osama said it himself.

"Those Awsome, Symbolic towers that spoke of Liberty and freedom are destroyed. They've gone up in smoke"

The Twins didn't make New York new york, but they sure as hell helped. Offered 50,000 jobs and raked in at least 600 million every YEAR!

[edmannumber1]

maybe the twin towers did represent freedom and liberty

but now theyre gone

the towers arent the only landmarks that represnt freedom

a 1776 ft high building sounds more symbolic

i liked the twin towers but they wont be rebuilt

the freedom tower is going 2 be built anyway and i dont think anything can be done about it

[WTCTribute]

Lol, yes it does. I'm such an idiot. Is it a 1776 foot high building when you take out the 400 foot base, and the 400 foot antenna? NO it isn't. We could make the new Twin Towers actually 1776 feet tall, without a 400 foot base and a 400 foot antenna.

It isn't symbolic when 40-60% of the building is empty! You may not think nothin can be done about it, but the rest of America and New Yorkers think different.

[donbarroco]

Could some one comment on the video itself? It seems everyone is deaf to the words of Benjamin, perhaps because his ideas were far above this level of discusssion... Freedom Tower reminds of Brueghel´s Babel Tower: every monument to victory is a future ruin...

[edmannumber1]

at least u believe that there should be recontruction at ground zero

i just heared some people say that nothing should be built

i think that those people r cowards cuz theyre probably 2 scared of terroroists

[WTCTribute]

Yup, and they are. THEY are the ones that can't let the destruction of the Twin Towers go. We, the supporters of having it rebuilt, have. That's why we want them RBEUILT!

[edmannumber1]

"REBUILT"

if u say so

i only care that something tall should be built so NY can have a good skyline

[AWARDMENOW]

I would like to see the twin towers rebuilt, but the problem is, whenever someone sees a picture of the old twin towers, or thinks about them they almost always think of 9/11. They would Be a haunting reminder of that day. Also, the twin towers represented the good old days, this certainly isn't the god old days. I'm sure people will learn to like the new WTC Complex.

[WTCTribute]

That's why almost ALL New Yorkers want them BACK? That's why most 9/11 family members WANT THEM BACK?! That's why most of America WANT THEM BACK?! The bad is replaced by the good. Why did people go to them after 93? I mean, people died then too.

We shouldn't learn to love the new Complex. Honestly, it isn't a new WTC Complex. A new one would include the REBUILT Twin Towers.

[yutolove]

u dont know wat u talking about the twin towers and the freedom towers are the same to me but your the one thats a piece of shit

[IYIoNsTeR94]

is it built yet

[yankee432]

no its not built it will be finished in 2011

[FDNYE10]

no it is not built yet. 2 to 4 more years

[nekrorider]

sorry i didn't use square ft... anyway, i think the 3 or 4 countries which don't use the metric system should join the rest of the world

[LinkinPark640]

12380 $ a square meter ! it must be the new york's most expansive buiding!
