Yeah, it even bothers me when the ones who supposedly 卖艺不卖身call themselves artists. There is no freedom and no creativity in the types of art they perform. The audience and the platform are both limited. Craftmen is a more appropriate term. What they do is practicing the craft of pleasing men. Exac...
古代的名妓不也是有号称“卖艺不卖身”的吗?或者掉过来说,古代名妓不经常是因为才艺而出名,甚至流芳百世的吗?李白杜甫白居易苏东坡等等等等,谁没养过个把相好的?过去卖淫是合法生意,社会对妓女的态度也跟现在不同,艺妓似乎从本质上跟唐朝的机制也没啥太大不同。很感慨地看到说女人当艺妓倒能琴棋书画,受的教育比普通妇女多多了。这不是跟中国古代的状况一样?当然妓女也分高层底层的,底层妓女就惨多了。现在社会基本没有高级妓女了,妇女都能广泛受教育了,底层妓女还是到处都是。 中国所谓的卖艺不卖身的名妓们对自己的处境地位是非常看不起的,以托身良人为理想归宿。历史上的董小宛嫁了冒辟疆后,只是一个小妾的地位,已经感恩戴...
"high-class geisha -- the pride and elegance and ...." blahblahblah. I still don't get it. Why do those Japanese are so proud of it? No matter how much so-called pride and elegance geisha carry they are still high-end prostitues. If that's culture, it is really sick. Now I understand why asian men g...

Is it in the evenings? I would say it is safe to wear a cocktail dress. If you don't want to overspend, get one in Ann Taylor Loft or Macy's , they have decent selections for moderate price. Consider Junior section if you are very petite. Same question here. What is cocktail dress? Isn't it too chi...

[闲聊]要去看茶馆了
化了两百大洋,只买到了两张preview的票,是不是彩排的意思?
本来某人腹诽不止,在网上查了查,终于乐颠颠跑过来说这个机会极难得。据说由于道具的运费太昂贵,而且一场演出也不可能容纳太多人,如这次纽约的剧场只能容纳600人,整个下来能不亏本就算好了,国家还出了些钱赞助剧团。
无限期待中。。。。

All I am saying is that a sensitive person is more likely to get traped in his/her painful past and very difficult to ignore even tiny unhappiness in life. There is nothing wrong with it. An artist benefites from this born-trait. The same unpleasant experience in childhood didn't affect Zhang's brot...

You're talking about: Is it possible to have low-paying jobs and save money and even buy a house? 我并不认为每个人都做得到. 即使是中等收入的人不也有很多买不起房子么? 看你如何过日子了. 我只是觉得, 如果低薪收入的人中间特别节俭的那一批能够买房子, 那么不那么节俭的人至少应该可以维持温饱没问题. 而且我认为收入多少和如何过日子加起来决定了一个人过得如何.

谢谢Jun :love011: --真是很有趣的理论。 不过我也有同样的疑惑:那么亚洲不也是同样土壤肥沃,农作物/畜牧业发达,文明发展得很早么,为什么亚洲就没有欧洲那样的致力于扩张呢?当然书里可能有详尽的解释,报纸上的不详细。 You are not the only person who has this question. It is very interesting that his book is convincing enough mostly to western readers. I saw more than one critiques by People from diff...

It might be true that Nobody chooses to believe in God because of "逻辑". But it is also true that many people choose not to believe in God because there is no logic in God. Are there people who chose to belive in God because of "逻辑"? That's new to me. When I say not necessarily, I didn't deny "it is...

To some people, the ALMIGHTY is benevolent and omnipotent. So in frustration and pain, God lends them a shoulder to cry on and gives them the confidence and hope to continue living.

I would argue differently. Social surrounding is all that has been greatly improved since 1905. Making a living as young professionals is socially acceptable and respectable.

蚕,没有矛盾啊?讲的完全是不同的事。 第一句是说,我怀疑现在这种研究(蚕的引文)同性恋是先天还是后天对改变他们的社会地位能有什么作用。 第二句话的意思是说,这个研究(我看到的英国人的研究)号称在研究对象(同性恋和异性恋)得到社会的支持和他们的身体状态是一样的情况下进行的。我觉得现在的情况下,很难找到这样的同性恋群体,所以这个前提会被质疑,他们的研究结果只能说有一定的可信性。 写这么两句得解释这么多,可见我的英文水准真是差劲。 我同意dropby的话“同性恋争取权益的第一步肯定得是争取大家认识同性恋既不是罪恶也不是病症, 都是普通人而已.”我觉得让大家认识到这不是罪恶应该是容易些,可是要承认这也...

寓教于乐 General at least you want to learn something. I just want to find the dark side of humanity and say, "Ha-ha!" (in Nelson's laughing voice from The Simpsons). The dark side of humanity is everywhere, not just in this movie. I start to believe that only God doesn't know the dark side of humanity.
