    There will never be anything more illustrative of the limits of human intellect than the fact that a master logician famously argued that:

    I ought to do XYZ because there may be an omnipotent being that rewards doing XYZ

    …and did not immediately think:

    I ought not to do XYZ because there may be an omnipotent being that punishes doing XYZ

    Gandhi on Zionism:

    My sympathies are all with the Jews.

    But my sympathy does not blind me to the requirements of justice.

    Palestine belongs to the Arabs in the same sense that England belongs to the English or France to the French. It is wrong and inhuman to impose the Jews on the Arabs. What is going on in Palestine today cannot be justified by any moral code of conduct. The mandates have no sanction but that of the last war. Surely it would be a crime against humanity to reduce the proud Arabs so that Palestine can be restored to the Jews partly or wholly as their national home.

    Edit: This was 1938, btw. 10 years before the Nakba.




  • Thank you for contacting technical support.

    It appears you’re having a problem with HUMOR.EXE.

    You seem to have enabled LIP (Laughter Integrity Protection) Service.

    You should know that LIP Service does not apply to built-in protocols such as TAB/00, and will cause compatibility issues in certain deployment environments such as EARTH.ENV.

    To solve your particular issue, you’ll want to navigate to the /ASS directory, right-click on HEAD.ZIP and select “Extract”.
