[【屈默：“拆”字为何挂在中国驻加拿大使馆门口？】继中国驻美国大使馆遭“拆” 字涂鸦后，中国驻加拿大使馆近日也被挂上写有“拆”字的白板。拆迁是当下中国各 级政府乐此不疲的大事。在各大城市街头，随处可见“拆”字。一个“拆”字，几乎就 是一部老百姓的血泪史。对此，政府需要反思，而不是愤怒。] (After the word "demolish" was spray-painted onto the front entrance of the Chinese Embassy in the U.S., a white board with the same character was affixed to the fence of the Chinese Embassy in Canada. Forced eviction is currently a favorite activity among Chinese authorities at all levels. We can see the word "demolish" everywhere on the streets, amounting to a people's history of tears and blood. The government needs to reflect on this situation rather than get angry.)

[昨日，身为清华大学高管的@易延友 发表言论力挺一一的律师：＂强奸陪酒女比 强奸良家妇女危害性要小＂，被网友喷成筛子后改口为：＂强奸良家妇女比强奸陪 酒女、陪舞女、三陪女、妓女危害性要大＂。最基本的人人平等你特么懂么？连清 华人都这素质，国家未来堪忧啊，不多说，围观傻逼！] (Yesterday, Tsinghua University professor Yi Yanyou made the following comments in support of the lawyer of [Li Tianyi]: "raping bar girls brings less harm than raping innocent women. After a wave of criticisms online, he made a different comment: "raping innocent women is more harmful than raping bar girls, disco girls, escorts, and prostitutes." Do you even understand the basic concept of equality? If Tsinghua-educated people are like this, the future of our country is in danger.)
