Yunguzi — Of All Things to Learn, Why Learn Mr. Mathematician's Cherry-Picking?
2006/4/23 15:20:03
Generally speaking, a name like "Yunguzi" (Cloud Valley Master) means the person behind the name is a man. And this ID is famously ruthless toward men. But that isn't the reason for writing this post. The left and right are really just the same old Kindergarten Faction. Before, they clawed at each other like a certain household animal. But now this Cloud rightist has, of all things, learned Mr. Mathematician's cherry-picking. Left and right have publicly started wearing the same pair of underwear — this kind of event is still worth expending some ink on.
The Cloud rightist says: "And so it is. For example, Capital's definition of commodity: 'A commodity is first of all an external object, a thing that through its qualities satisfies human needs of whatever kind.' This commodity definition only states that a commodity is a useful object, and does not state the essential characteristic of a commodity — the exchange attribute or the exchange process." This fellow's cherry-picking surpasses even Mr. Mathematician's level of Blueness. According to Chinese grammar, after "first of all" there will inevitably be "next," "secondly," or similar. Yet this Cloud rightist has taken one "first of all" and turned it into the complete definition. Is this the kind of American Chinese your American masters taught you, leading students astray like this?
Mr. Mathematician's cherry-picking at least used Chinese Chinese. But this Cloud Beauty's cherry-picking has completely stripped himself naked to prove his beauty characteristics. This is probably the sole realistic basis for still bothering to distinguish left from right under the now-unified banner of the Kindergarten Faction. Gentlemen, just because Brokeback Mountain is fashionable doesn't mean you all have to rush to learn cherry-picking. But more importantly, a man should not shamelessly display his beauty tendencies. "Beauty" (meiren) in Chinese has a gender — unless there's an exception in American usage.
As for Mr. Mathematician, being a resentful housewife isn't good either even if you're not being a beauty. A single "star means person" has been reposted N times. On this point, this ID already stated clearly in the second sentence of the very post that started the debate, "Great Star of Deliverance — An Even More Savior-like Savior Than the Savior!": "The biggest difference between 'Great Star of Deliverance' and 'Savior' is that the former is human, while the latter is divine." Such common knowledge really doesn't need to waste more internet bandwidth.
