How should we judge a government?

In Malaysia, if you don't watch television or read newspapers, you are uninformed; but if you do, you are misinformed!

"If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing." - Malcolm X

Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience - Mark Twain

Why we should be against censorship in a court of law: Publicity is the very soul of justice … it keeps the judge himself, while trying, under trial. - Jeremy Bentham

"Our government is like a baby's alimentary canal, with a happy appetite at one end and no
responsibility at the other. " - Ronald Reagan

Not everyone can understand jokes

In a group of people sharing jokes, there might be one or two who do not seem to enjoy them. This could be due to lack of a sense of humour, poor grasp of the language or even maybe simply because of being not in the mood because of personal problems.

There are instances of someone who would laugh after everyone has finished laughing! Poor or slow sense of humour, if you like. If infectious, this can start another round of laughter because of his not laughing at the right time!

With jokes relating to specific or technical knowledge, then besides a good understanding of the language, we need to have some basic knowledge of subject... like biblical humour, for instance...
