If it means good paydays -- But! Remember what happened to about 3,000 ppl.
    #21751514 - 06/02/15 05:45 AM (8 years, 7 months ago)

In general, would you work near the top floor in a new sky scraper building that was to replace a building formerly destroyed by what some official story said was an act of terror, if it meant landing a good paying job? And why or why not?

:rolleyes:

Yes, and because why not?

How many people die every year to put food on your table? That mean you shouldn't eat anything you didn't produce 100% on your own? WTF does you gaining anything have to do with 3000 people dying?

I would, do you know how rare terrorist attacks are, let alone terrorists attacks of that size? Why let something that almost isn't a threat control my actions with fear? Plus if you don't do something because of that fear, you literally let terrorism win.

You statistically have more chance of dieing by a cop then a terrorist.

Yes.  The reason is because I have critical thinking skills and have some idea of the likelihood of a similar event happening again.

Would you take a high paying job if you had to drive to it?  Knowing that car accidents happen?  WOuld you take a job that involved airplane travel?

Of course I would. What are the chances of it happening twice? I'd say the chances are very slim.

Nice response. That's a good way of looking at it.

I would. Like others said, what are the chances that it could happen twice? Some official told us huh. Tell us about the conspiracy op. Enlighten us.

He wont. He never leaves anything more than an opening post and its usually absolute gibberish. I'm fascinated by this poster. Look at some of his religious ramblings... He cray cray.

It's not like terrorism targets are selected purely at random though. 9/11 wasn't the first terrorist attack on the WTC, and a newly rebuilt WTC will undoubtedly be a high-priority target again.

In some way, so will everything that has a large mass of people at any given time.

We could make WTC impossible to attack, and theyd just move onto another highly populated area, anywhere with a lot of people is potentially a target especially if they're going for civilians

I think it's pretty safe to say that the WTC in particular is likely to continue to receive special attention as a target. If two different attempts are made to burn down your house and the second one succeeds, the view that your rebuilt house is no more likely that any other house to be a further target of arson is pretty foolhardy.

Yeah you definitely have a point, but idk if I'd still let the fear of the possibility of it happening again dictate whether or not I'd do the job. Then again I say that knowing I'm not going to be put in th e position to choose so it might just be brave talk on my part.

Yeah I see what you're saying. If they had just not bothered to rebuild the towers, it would send a message of fear and weakness. There's no way to prevent every attack, but letting the attackers dictate your actions is like broadcasting "OK we give up."

Though it would show improvement over a label (paranoid s.) I've been given, my answer is no. I for one am afraid of heights. So not so much am I buying another attack like that on 911 would come my way out of all the ways, it is just that I fear being really high up.

Haha. Matt thought I'd cower away from my own topic. :p

And I do see the points all of you are making. If only I had no fear of heights I'd be with you.

Yeah it shows them that they can use fear to get their way, and while they may never stop, it'll give them that much more reason to keep trying especially if we show them it worked.

Not cower, you just have some super weird posts lol!! In a lot of them you open a thread then never post in it again. This is a pretty normal discussion though!

The World Trade Center was attacked twice.... So the chances are pretty high.

Actually three times, one in the 90s and two on 9/11. So the chances just increased.
