On today's jeopardy.....
-SAUDI ARABIA---For 1000
"This family's construction business boomed with contracts in mecca; one son chose destruction instead"
-who are the bin ladins
----
Is it accurate to say that Usama Bin Ladin chose "destruction instead"?
keeping in mind that he has also built many things in africa. like spending millions in sudan building it's nations infrastructure.

Maybe because it's from french jeu parti
Boring answer ... But I am working on reducing the number of sarcastic snippy posts I make ... bear with me.
Now dude, why would you wanna reduce such a gift?

I just figured that since he has not been proven guilty in any court of law, one can not say (on a fact based show like jeopardy) that he is guilty of ( in this case) destruction (the wtc) because it has yet to be proven. For all it's worth, it's just conjecture. they turned opinions and made them into facts.
I suppose, but the guy's admission, assuming its real, is good evidence.
Mind you I am not nor will I ever be a Republican or a Bush supporter, but for god's @$%^$ sake; Al Qaeda is responsible for the WTC attacks, and Osama is the head, at least in figure, of the terrorist organization. My powers of deduction are not always sharp as a tack I suppose, but I am also not a moron. At least not the last time I checked...
Typo Man: "Thanks kidz, but remembir, stay in skool!"
That's all fine my friend.
He did it, he did'nt do it, that's not the issue, the issue is that it should be proven first. then put it on a fact base show like jeopardy.
I was just pointing that out with this thread, not a big deal I guess.
yes like you said, assuming it's real.
So if we caught him and tried him in a court of law, and the prosecutors were "proving" he was responsible, they'd just haul out the videos with his confessions -- case proven.
And personally, I would love to see him tried in the courthouse in the Southern tip of Manhattan, a few blocks away from Ground Zero. That would be bee-yoo-tee-full -- which, of course, will never happen. BUT, the proof part of the trial would take about 20 minutes.
doesn't feel that way right now. That's the hopeful
idea . . . Hope didn't get much applause . . .

Agreed.
well, living under american destruction for 5 years may make a person say or do some crazy things, take note, right after 9/11 Bin Ladin said repeteadly that it was not him, only after a the years since 9/11/01 and billions of dollars worth of bombs and bin ladin on the run did he start to change his tapes into these so called confessions, perhaps one can say because at that point he had nothing to lose, I mean having the most powerful army on earth trying to kill you, that's some big pressure.
let's reopen the case.
ok...ok....he's a good guy!
Lets forgive him for the other terror attacks (other than WTC) he has been involved in or claimed responsibility for.
Is that what you want to hear from people?
Jeopardy could be referencing the embassy bombings in Africa for all you know...
that doesn't have an "O" before the "P"
No, it doesn't.
So obviously it was changed from jeuparti to jeopardy. That happens all the time with english, that's just the language.
Like "champagne" sounds like "sham-pane" but spelled like "champ-ag-ne" (french as well)
Or "Dachshund" is often pronounced "Dash-hound" but is actually "dock-sund" and is taken from German meaning "badger-hound". Pronounced literally in english would be something else.
Besides No, and mommy and daddy, Jeopardy was the first word my son Robbie spoke..
The theme song came on and he came running.. Jepidy Jepidy....
guess it reminded him of the itzy bitzy spider song...
I don't know the theme song, I can only think of the song by Weird Al.
I was there to match my intellect on national TV
Against a plumber, oh, and an architect, both with a PhD
I was tense, I was nervous, I guess it just wasn't my night
Art Fleming gave the answers
Oh, but I couldn't get the questions right, -ight, -ight
Ref:
I lost on Jeopardy, baby (oooh)
I lost on Jeopardy, baby (oooh)
Well, I knew I was in trouble now
My hope of winning sank
Oh, 'cause I got the Daily Double now
And then my mind went blank
I took Potpourri for one hundred
And then my head started to spin
Well, I'm givin' up Don Pardo
Just tell me now what I didn't win, yeah, yeah
Ref
That's right, Al--You lost. And let me tell you what you didn't win: a twenty volume set of the Encyclopedia International, a case of Turtle Wax, and a year's supply of Rice-A-Roni, the San Francisco Treat. But that's not all. You also made yourself look like a jerk in front of millions of people. You brought shame and disgrace to your family name for generations to come. You don't get to come back tomorrow. You don't even get a lousy copy of our home game. You're a complete loser!
Don't know what I was thinkin' of
I guess I just wasn't too bright
Well, I sure hope I do better
Next weekend on The Price Is Right, -ight, -ight
he's a good guy? maybe I don't know. how did you come to that conclusion?
Because I know that i've never said it.
nevertheless my issue with the question was also the way it was posed. nevertheless I guess it's not a big deal, just thought I'd hear some thoughts on it.
I guess that i'm just disappointed with the quality of the show now, fairly easy questions these days. they seem to be just one level higher than "deal or no deal", a show that asks nothing from it's participants.
But I guess that these shows now reflect most of todays viewers. people just like to shut the brain off and stare at the tv for 30 mins. time well spent.
