Yeah seriously Daquan. I don't mean to pick on you or anything but all you do is kiss this Freedom Tower's — all the time meanwhile it is not even that great of a design, or even a good one for this site for that matter (IMO of course

).

Ditto.

Neither one of you guys have to like the tower, but stop poking at those who do! How does one kiss the Freedom Tower's —? Never knew that it had one.

If only you understood how bad I wanted to visit the Twins, and to have them snatched from us that day in just two hours, you'd know how bad I wanted to visit the obs deck just to see what it was like standing on top of New York over 1,300 feet in the air. That's how badly I want the Freedom Tower built, since the Twins are not being rebuilt.

I was on vacation during the week of 09-11, and could have gone to New York to visit the towers during that week.

At least I'm not the one who whines and — about wanting something back that won't be rebuilt.

Carlos, you started this —, accusing ME and CoolCzech of saying the wrong stuff about the former WTC. Now the shoe is on the other foot because I'm pointing out stuff that's wrong in those pics that YOU posted about the Twins, claiming stuff was right.

You're just pissed off because I proved you wrong. But hey, you bought it, you own it. You bought the farm, don't complain now because you have to feed the pigs. Haha!!

It's taking sooooooooooooooo looooooooooooooooong toooooooooooo creaaaaaaaaate thiiiiiiiiiis tooooooooooooooower, LET ALONE THE ENTIRE COMPLEX! Some of us might not be alive when this is actually built, the midtown project will be completed at about the same time as this, only problem is that this project had half a decade longer to complete.

One word: Larry!!!

Daquan13 · #**409** Posted **Mar 16, 2007, 1:45 PM**

And it took almost 1/2 a decade to even actually get the tower started, other than 7 WTC, which was put back in the same spot where the former tower was.

It's not about whether I like the tower or not (I give it a 3 outta 5), but you just have a really, really huge — for this tower, D, and it's quite apparent by the volume with which you post. It's good and all to be enthusiastic about your passion, but I think you're beyond being enthusiastic, and have jumped over into the "obsessive" category.

As of late, I've been talking mainly about the Twins, so how do they fit in with the Freedom Tower? I've read some posts and threads where some of YOU guys get a huge bonified — for certain buildings.

So how can you guys do stuff and then critisize me if you think I'm doing the same thing?

If you're going to use my words and lump me in with others in an overall question, then you should at least make sure that my actions fit with what you're asking. So I'll ask you: where did I ever once gush over any building, in NYC or otherwise? Please find a post of mine where I do. And I ask this of you because I know there's no building I've gone ga-ga over, on here or any other forum.

Patrick · #**414** Posted **Mar 17, 2007, 5:06 AM**

This thread is just plain halarious "but you just have a really, really huge — for this tower" lol. But yeah not this — again, dose this have to happen every freakin month?

Ladies Please...

But personally I dont blame anyone, this tower is taking so — slow that theres nothing else to do or talk about except attack Daquan13. Blah.

Daquan13 · #**415** Posted **Mar 17, 2007, 10:49 AM**

Thank you, Patrick!

They are up in arms probably because I like the tower and want to see it get built. They claim that I'm obsessed with it.
I imagined that they're pissed at me because I come here a lot to post. Too bad, so sad.

That's because posts there are deleted on a regular basis. After reading much of this one, I'm beginning to see why.

You guys have to realize, building a foundation for a 16 acre site is going to take a long time. Were not talking about your typical small glass residential highrise. This development is immensly vast. I rather them take their time to build a quality item. I garuntee once this reaches street level, the towers will skyrocket. Its always the case with every tower: long time to reach street level, but rises quickly. Not to mention how complex and delicate this site is with those slurry walls.
I understand everyone is growing tired of waiting (as am I), but lets be a little more constructive on this thread rather than polluting it with —. The damn thing is getting built, lets be happy!

the man has a point.
