Can't you read?

CMM said "never." JayZ demonstrated that CMM was wrong.

Why aren't you reprimanding CMM for having the nerve to say something never happened, when it did happen?

A resident of New Amsterdam, of course, or a Hollander. So?

If CMM said there never was a place called New Amsterdam, would you object to posts telling him he was wrong?

I watch Jeopardy regularly and participate in an online trivia league along with the likes of Ken Jennings and Brad Rutter (though I don't think I'll be going head to head with either one any time soon). I've also written some bar trivia here and there. My comment isn't political, it is about crafting good trivia questions and putting on a good television show (and I say that as someone who cowrote a trivia round once where despite multiple reviews, only once answers came in, did we realize we had a significant problem in how our question was worded and our ultimate judgement on how to score it was going to create controversy no matter what we did). This question doesn't make the cut because of the ambiguities surrounding the answer. It has nothing to do with whether the State of Palestine exists.

But it has to do with politics because people of different political persuasions have different answers to the question.

But agreed, ambiguity is bad even if no politics is involved. Jeopardy wouldn't want to pose an where the question was "third molar."

I should be less flippant on this. There's a wiki-jihad movement that I've encountered where they will even revert spelling corrections made on their pages of fictional villages and there's nothing to be done. There's now special groups springing up to combat this nonsense.

This is in additional to those old stories we've heard about Wikipedia. Like the author who corrects an entry about a book he wrote, only to be blocked because you can only use 2nd-ary sources. Which is easy enough to fix. Make a fake website and site it.

So? Israel considers Jerusalem their capital and the "Internationals" and the Democratic party says what Israel say doesn't matter.

If Israel has no say in its capital, they have no say in what they recognize as their cities either.


Not to mention they have no say anyway, Hashem made the city part of Israel thousands of years ago, and it still stands.

Knock off the Salaam impression for two seconds, seriously...

In it’s thousands of years of history, the area has had many, many names. Names such as “The Kingdom of Jerusalem”, “Retenu”, “Coele-Syria” and one of those was, indeed, “Palestine”. That is not a judgement on anyone, that is simply a fact of history.

It is understood to be a name applied to the area by the Greeks in the Greek language, like English has “Germany” or “Japan”. It was not it’s name on it’s native language...

Except given the influence of the Greek language and culture, it sorta became the official name, more so in the Byzantine era. A bit like how everyone calls The Netherlands “Holland” (which is the name of two areas in the country) but they go with it because it attracts tourists.

Knock off the Salaam impression. The fact is that "Palestine" is a false name for Israel and alien Arabs are making a false claim to that land in that false name—and in its entirety, excluding the existence of the state of Israel.

As for "Japan", that comes from the Cantonese reading of the characters pronounced "Nippon" or "Nihon" in the Japanese language (日本), that being Jat Pen. So it is actually the name of the country.
