  1. Herp-a-derp... brown is the color of poop! I bet no one's ever said that before! It's especially funny since I don't like their team! Derp!

    :rolleyes:

    If it walks like a duck.....

    And I've been a Browns fan since likely before you were born (at least hopefully you aren't older than I am and still using words like "derp" to seem cool online...) Allow me some self-deprecating humor, it's all we really have. Plus, ya know "BrianBrown" doesnt have a great ring to it either.

  2. It's not semantics. If a government has jurisdiction over a piece of land, then that land is theirs. Therefore the Statue of Liberty is in New York because the land it's on falls under the State of New York's jurisdiction.

    Oh boy. All I said was Liberty Island was in NJ's waterway, I didnt say who owned what.....

    Seriously, what do I need to do to get out of this argument? Can I send you some money or something?

  3. I hated the Rangers' "Lady Liberty" sweaters and really don't understand the folks who want to see them replace one of the most classic sweaters in the history of hockey. Most New Yorkers have only visited the statue once, on a middle-school field trip... how is that a good symbol for a team representing New York City?

    Not to mention it technically sits in NJ's waters.

    From the National Park Service:

    Is the Statue in New York or New Jersey?

    The Statue of Liberty is on Liberty Island, federal property administered by the National Park Service, located within the territorial jurisdiction of the State of New York.

    You didnt contradict anything I said above. It still sits in NJ's waters even though NY has jurisdiction over the Island.

    Jurisdiction trumps territory. The US embassy in London's in the UK's territory but it's still American land.

    It's more or less an easement granted to the given country. And I didnt say anything trumped anything. Stop devolving this further into semantic stupidity.
