WHAT THE FUCK is the only way i know how to say this. Right now i am feeling some emotions that i have felt once before, rage sadness and total sickness. Just a few min ago I was told that there was something that someone had on there land and they wanted me to come see if i saw the same thing in it as them. So i accepted the tp. Look at the pictures, thats all i can say. put your mouse over the towers and it says we will never forget 9/11 but then again they have fucking flaming busses hanging out the side of them and fameing boats and exploses that randomly go off on the other tower. I dont think this is appropriate and i understand someone is entitled to show there views and such but why do it when it hurts so many people? have some manors and act like you actually care about people. Also see the green guy? does that look like what i personally think it is? or am i reading to much into it which i might be. Im enragaged someone would do this. They have all been neg rated and if you would like to do so also please im me in world.

There was a thread raging here in the forums just a few days ago about their builds. When I first visited that area, it was a Starship Enterprise attacking the Twin Towers. It's one thing to make ugly builds. Building something like that shows no tact, no respect and very little care for your fellow human beings. It is the ONLY build in all of Second Life I've ever neg-rated.

I really don't know what to say other than "This is wrong!"
It's sad that the people who put this up probabally thought it would be funny...it's down right offensive!

1) It's our land.

2) It's rated Mature.

3) Don't like it? Go somewhere else.

If you take offense to this, what do you have to say about the nude skins sold in our shops? Where you find offense, we find humor; maybe it's our way of dealing with the attacks.. who knows, really.

If you took the time to coherently produce legible sentences, then I may take your post seriously. If you can't properly use "there, their, they're", misspell every other word, and assume that a FINAL FANTASY CHARACTER is a swastika, then you have more problems than we do.

The towers in Baku are a monument to all the retarded jingoism that followed 9/11. In case anyone doesn't remember, for a period of about three or four months after the towers went down, the streets of the USA were inundated with an endless stream of gaudy plastic American flags, often flying from the antennae of cars that hadn't been washed since the Clinton administration. The towers aren't there to insult anyone. They are there to satirize the sort of person who never would have thought to go within 5 miles of a flag factory on 9/10/01, but then became SUDDENLY AND VERY OBVIOUSLY PATRIOTIC on 9/11/01.

Ever wonder why no one flies Old Glory from their car antenna anymore? I sure don't.

That would make a pretty downsy swastika...

Far from being a hate symbol, that's a Cactuar, from the Final Fantasy series... more images here: http://images.google.com/images?q=cactuar

Seriously, what kind of person can look at that, see the viking longboat colliding with the tower, and think that it's completely serious.

You could have contacted the builder and asked what was up, but no, negrating campaign ahoy. "If I post this on the SL foums, I'll be popular and in the right!"

You're reading too much into it. That is a cactrot, a little cactus monster in the FF games.
Even if it wasnt "disguised" as a cactus, it would not be a swastika.

Not even the swastika was a hate symbol until the Nazi Party corrupted it for their own use. Prior to that, it was a symbol of life. Strange how everyone forgets that. I seem to remember the Nazis swapped the direction of the legs or something, but I'm not 100% sure.

Anyway, not sure what to make of the build. Satire it may be, but if enough people are finding it offensive, then as satire, it's failed. And as for the cactaur, Kats Kothari (I think) has been selling them for a while.

billy, you might be right, but what's your solution?
Should we take away the freedom of speech from this person?
Should there be an LL-ethics police set up? Who could censor builds, and take down any build that offends at least 1 person? Or 10?

Maybe even the SL system could be modified so nothing you build can be seen by others, until the censor approves it?

Somehow, I don't think it's the way.

Yes, if ppl negrate the building AFTER talking with its creator, maybe that's okay.

Allthough I do find some of the SA humor to not realy be on my taste (though I do read the forums any way)

Could you lot stick up 40ft signs warning people its there, saves hassle like this.

You see, our experts describe you as an appallingly dull fellow, unimaginative, timid, lacking in initiative, spineless, easily dominated, no sense of humour, tedious company and irrepressibly drab and awful. And whereas in most professions these would be considerable drawbacks, in chartered accountancy they are a positive boon.

Spooky, there's an article on the front of the BBC News web site this morning about how the original symbol was hijacked:

Well, I have a different view. We won't put up a warning panel. Do you know why? Because it's reasonable to expect that people actually GRASP that other people have different tastes, a different humor, different views. Whether people fall into these expectations or not, is a different matter.

Well, Billy didn't suggest censoring the build ; just neg-rating.
Sounds reasonable to me ; even without talking to the builder (I'd neg-rate his behavior rather than build skill personally ; if I felt like Billy, which is not the case)
