diplomacy

與事實不符 does not fit the facts = not 100% true, but not far from that. 提出嚴正交涉 lodge solemn representations = let our diplomats handle this in our own way = we may have something else to trade.

真普選

香港市民有選舉权，而中央有任命权。可以咁，行政長官候選人须得若干票当選。若不夠票便須重選。那麼提名委員会便有責任提名中央及香港市民能夠接受的候選人了。因為偏頗任何一方只會引致重選或甚至宪制危机。

美國霸權

美國人有冇後悔當年冇用原子彈去威脅全世界，不准全世界擁有原子彈，或威逼全世界簽核不擴散條約，或甚至侵佔其他國家作它的附庸？

好過依家又話要重返亞洲、又話要做中東或世界警察，又話唔准其他國家擁有核武，除了以色列和印度。。。。咁其實又有乜分別呢?

Filibuster and the Doctrine of Necessity

Wonder if the doctrine of necessity may help to resolve the filibuster issue.

property price in Hong Kong

under the two new measures to cool the property market, people with one or more residential properties will have less incentive to buy yet another one. on the contrary they may wish to sell. supposing first time buyers are inclined to buy from them with or without any existing lease, the demand for new flats will drop!

my motto

start a new day in a new way.

grey power

An ageing population will become more conservative in the next 5 to 10 years now that the younger generation has wielded their power. With less revenue from land sale, higher demand for welfare and health care for the elderly in particular, the younger generation will pay higher tax and bear the brunt, while the grey power rules in election. What a spectacle!

援助

用公帑援助非洲国家，買中国貨，真好。国内一定有些公司受惠。。。

公务員

为何私营市场“容许”合法避税等行为（即鑽法律空子），而对公务員却来另一套？香港是否有兩套法律？

exist

I facebook, therefore I exist. I think, therefore I exist. I think you don't think, therefore I think you don't exist. I believe, therefore I exist, and I believe you also exist. Don't you think (so)?

雙非問題

林健鋒正草擬私人條例草案，要求特區政府就雙非問題修改本地法例，若特區政府不允，可否尋求司法覆核，由终審法院自行覆議以前的決定？

J Lin

America is such a great country with lots of great men and women. It just needs spiritual awakening thru humble souls like you JLin.

Fortune tellers and Fung Shui masters

Fortune tellers and Fung Shui masters tell us that their trade is based on thousands of years of statistics, but they never share the statistics with us. I suspect that much of it is self fulfilling prophecy. And while their statistics (if any) is a thousand years old, they never update it according to the latest demographics and facts (with control experiment too). In short, their statistics, if any, is outdated.

One story goes: 200 people die in a plane crash, ending up in the same destiny. Will fortune tellers dig out their history and birth details etc and arrive at the same conclusion, before or after the incident?

Chinese medicine

Compared to Western medicine, Chinese medicine is definitely a cheaper option for an aging population in Hong Kong. Conspiracy theory? I sometimes wonder how Chinese medicine can prove its efficacy in prolonging one's life. I even suspect that people who rely too much on Chinese medicine are taking in a lot of "poison". Likewise, Western medicine. Perhaps having better nutrients and regular sleep and exercise is the best option after all.

论政团体

政党若不跟从民意。最后只会沦为论政团体。

轉變

轉變需要勇氣，而變好或是變壞則視乎智慧與學識。
