I agree, that would be really dumb. While I am prone to saying and doing dumb things, I think it'd be sloppy to suggest that I made that assertion. There's a set of things that include lab work, simulation, data analysis, etc that

I've seriously considered writing an ELF loader that uses a special symbol (like _resolve) where dynamic library resolving is done imperatively. The flexibility from libdl always feel underwhelming.

I don't follow what the clowns in Hamas, Fatah, or the PLO say. But I know some people personally. Have you ever talked to a Palestinian person, megaman821?

Many black Americans chose to stay in the USA rather than emigrate to Liberia in the 1800s when given the opportunity. What can you conclude about the situation for black people in America based on that historical fact?

I know that there are significant numbers who don't think like I do. I am stating a possibility that is ignored as an option. "they just want freedom" is based on every conversation I've ever had with a Palestinian. Did

All metaphors are wrong, some metaphors are useful. The word "burn" applies to both first and third degree burns. Characteristics of apartheid can exist even if it is not at the severity experienced by black south Africans. The an

Well they are not not indigenous. But calling them "the indigenous" is not correct. DNA studies done by Israeli scientists on Palestinian subjects show that they descend from indigenous groups including Judea.

A two state solution is still possible. Why do people assume Palestinians want a state of only Palestinians. Palestine had Jews living in it before and a hypothetical future state of Palestine can too. They are not committed to an ethnostat
