geno_16 posted...I still don't understand why this is a thing. You can't choose what city to recognize as a capital. The term "capital city" isn't subjective. It has a pretty set definition, the location of a jurisdiction's seat of government. So either a city is the seat of a country's government and is thus the capital; or it isn't and thus is not the capital. Albany was actually a more significant industrial and commercial center in NY at the time it was made capital. The Erie Canal was built to basically serve as a commercial route to Albany. By the time NYC surpassed it, Albany had the capital for half a century or so. No reason to change it after that just for the sake of it. If anything, in modern times, less things need to be in NYC. I sure as hell wish the U.N. headquarters would relocate somewhere else. --- - The Admiral ... Copied to Clipboard!

most of the early US states had compromise capitals. DC is, too. Hell, Ohio built it's compromise capital from scratch.

I didn't know, so what you say is interesting and informative. Good response. I had been wondering what the fuck Albany had to offer for years now having crazy relatives from that area :P Paragraph 2... bro, not to Albany XD. I hear that high five man :P. (In all fairness thouf, I only know the tiniest part of an Albany suburb from family holidays but those said holidays... family talks that shit and they live there so I believe it but that's all I have so my shittalking is actually like dumb and basic... but I do think I'm right that area is shitty or at least I hope >_>) --- Place-holder sig because new phone and old sigs not saved :/ ...

By the time NYC surpassed it, Albany had the capital for half a century or so. No reason to change it after that just for the sake of it. Albany was chosen as the permanent capital because of its central location in the state. New York was larger than Albany by an order of magnitude even in 1790, and the Erie Canal was constructed to provide an easier way to ship goods from New York upstate and into the Great Lakes. --- ...

I don't think we should be doing anything to the benefit of a country carrying out apartheid. History will undoubtedly judge that as the wrong move.

Lmao, is that another way of saying super duper for reals guaranteed? That's a rather large assumption. In fact, we have no idea what perspective future nations, let alone individuals, will take regarding a very nuanced conflict that has been going on in a region that has been the stage for violent conflict for thousands of years. --- ... ...

You'd rather do something for the benefit of a group that willingly elected a terrorist organization as its leadership entity and who would openly engage in another Jewish holocaust if they could? Jerusalem is a part of Israel and has been their capital for decades. This dumb game the rest of the world played in refusing to recognize that due generally to anti-Semitism should have ended a long time ago. --- - The Admiral ... Copied to Clipboard!
