22: The buildings were pretty damned ugly, the Port Authority was dead on
in its arrogance in the end.

What features of the buildings did you find particularly attractive, munxcat?

I liked the clean lines, and the fact that it was made for functionality,
rather than beauty. Also they were built with the idea of making them the
tallest in the world. And as I've mentioned before, I thought they added a
lot of character to the sky-line.

I thought they looked pretty at night when some of the lights would be
on but not all of them. I also think that they added something to the
NYC skyline as a whole even though they were pretty ugly when taken
just by themselves.

If it doesn't have setbacks, it does not belong on the NY skyline. I also
think the Citigroup building is pretty ugly.

Something making the rounds:
Since America is typically Represented by an eagle, Saddam should have
read up on his Muslim passages... The following verse is from the Quran
(the Islamic Bible):
Quran (9:11) -- "For it is written that a son of Arabia would awaken a
fearsome Eagle. The wrath of the Eagle would be felt throughout the
lands of Allah and lo, while some of the people trembled in despair
still more rejoiced; for the wrath of the Eagle cleansed the lands of
Allah; and there was peace."

May Allah strike you dead and down, bru, for your transgressions against
Islam. The Koran must be published only in original Arabic.

As usual, you're being lied to but are too lazy to actually find out the truth
for yourself.

isn't that what I said in 41 scott?
If the Quran is only published in the original arabic, they will get no
converts, adn they will die out in time.
Allah is forgiving, so I am told.

Oops, missed bru's #41 somehow. Same text, anyway.
The Koran *should* be published in many languages! A lot of the fanaticism
comes from the idea that only Farsi-reading specialists should read, let alone
interperet, the Koran. Sort of like the Catholic Church in some cases?
