新鮮兄: >> …. 由愛情昇華到感情 無錯,由拍拖談情說愛(講講吓) ,昇華到較有深度的感情,的确是可以令關係「長春」ever green。 但有很多在社会有名望的男人(多數是男人),仍然受不住誘惑,「偷食」露光之後,又对妻子家人道歉,但到底,他們的愛情究竟有沒有昇華到感情呢? 又: There was even a movie called: In praise of older women (which I saw *_^) on在家賢婦,出外貴婦,床上蕩婦; 在家男僕,出外闊客,床上丈夫

SBB: >> .... yakuza I checked Wikipedia/Yakuza: ".... 流氓（日語：ヤクザ，英語：Yakuza）是日本社會裡從事暴力或有組織犯罪活動的人士或團體，統一稱為極道（ごくどう）。流氓（ヤクザ）的名稱是來自日本紙牌遊戲花札（玩法一說是「おいちょかぶ」）的一個最壞組合「八九三」。日本政府和警方通常把它們指為暴力團，又公告了所謂的指定暴力團，山口組是其中之一。..." ".... Rituals Yubitsume, or the cutting of one's finger, is a form of penance or apology. Upon a first offence, the transgressor must cut off the tip of his left little finger and give the severed portion to his boss. Sometimes an underboss may do this in penance to the oyabun if he wants to spare a member of his own gang from further retaliation. Its origin stems from the traditional way of holding a Japanese sword. The bottom three fingers of each hand are used to grip the sword tightly, with the thumb and index fingers slightly loose. The removal of digits starting with the little finger moving up the hand to the index finger progressively weakens a person's sword grip.

SBB: 一個國家從革命建國,工業發展,社会改進, 至國泰民安,掦威海外,每一個階段都需要不同資歷的領導人。 海歸派或許有很多新意見,但他/她未必就能將這些維新政策廣泛地令村鎮官民接受和實施。土生土長的保守派可能深知階級關係, 官腔民意但他/她未必就能打破墨守成規的傳統思想,令社会進入新的紀元。 我個人相信選擇每一個階段的領導人之過程应該是 merit-based。 至於「插間」或「變節」這一回事,那就是視乎一個人的信仰原則,海歸或非海歸似乎不是主要因素。 on 新中國的接班人 / PRC Under New Management
