	<description>A peculiar hybrid of personal journal, dilettantish punditry, pseudo-philosophy and much more, from an Accidental Expat who has made his way from Hong Kong to Beijing to Taipei and finally back to Beijing for reasons that are still not entirely clear to him...</description>

		<description>Jason, by equating fenqing with bigots I think you basically hit the nail on the head.</description>

		<description>FQ = Sarah Palin, Rush Limbaugh, and various Fox News contributors.  That&#039;s beautiful stuff.  No argument from me on that one.

There are indeed some crazy people everywhere.  But that doesn&#039;t make FQ any less crazy, nor does it justify or excuse their craziness.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;&quot;There’s crazy people everywhere not just the fenqings.&quot;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Right. What&#039;s your point again? Unless you&#039;re actually saying that I should either criticise everyone worthy of criticising in the entire world or criticise no-one I really don&#039;t see what you&#039;re trying to say. Personally, I like to simply stick to criticising what comes to hand, and what came to hand yesterday was a man who wanted to pose as a patriot by urging the killing of an innocent people. The fact that so many of your fellow &lt;i&gt;fenqing&lt;/i&gt; have no problem with this kind of talk (few objected to Charles Liu&#039;s post) when it was right in front of them should be on their consciences.</description>

		<description>Good comparison, Jason. All those names are hard-core right wing sickos. I have always, always seen them as shockingly similar to the fenqing in their closed-mindedness, nastiness and propensity to violence. I&#039;m delighted you made the comparison.</description>

		<description>@The Clock’s comment reminds me the time Charles Liu approvingly re-posted comments calling for the death of Liu Xiaobo – you suddenly see clearly the mind-set of behind the day-in day-out fanaticism of the fenqing. One that could celebrate the spilling of innocent blood as if it were the letting off of a firework.

This comment seems to blame only the Chinese nationalist (a la random blog commentators) for the audacity to speak of killing individual (s) that they don&#039;t like.

What about the various journalists, politicians, supreme court judge and pundits wanting to assassinate Julian Assange?: http://www.peopleokwithmurderingassange.com/the_list.html And don&#039;t rule out the various commenators on comment sections like Yahoo! News wanting blood as well.

There&#039;s crazy people everywhere not just the fenqings.</description>

		<description>It was a sort of Old Testament Cain and Abel thing. The Clock murdered Math in a fit of rage and then buried him in the root cellar when their mum went out shopping.

Since taking on Math&#039;s online identity, he has been consumed by guilt and madness. His mum also threw him out of the house for his transgression.

A prime example of a &lt;b&gt;lite&lt;b&gt; Faulkner Gothic tale with Sino characteristics.</description>

		<description>just curious, who is He Zhama? (google returned no results)

I need to start to use Mao Zedong thought in mathematics too. My next paper will read &quot;I don&#039;t need to prove what I say, you need to prove it wrong!&quot;.</description>

		<description>@t_co - Happily, such crimes require proof of intent to incite. Pretty obviously, I don&#039;t &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;actually&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; want Clock to try to murder Japanese consular officials. Instead I want him to look like a fool by pointing out that he&#039;s happy to urge others to commit heinous crimes against innocent people and impugn the manhood of those that don&#039;t, but unwilling to measure himself by the same moronic standard. 

And yes, it is rather like shooting fish in a barrel.</description>

		<description>&lt;b&gt;t_co&lt;/b&gt;, you chose the words &lt;i&gt;might be liable&lt;/i&gt;, but even that would be unlikely to happen. Laws may differ from country to country, but in all cases I know, incitement depends on the &lt;i&gt;intention&lt;/i&gt; to incite crimes. All the same, I&#039;d generally stay away from exchanging arguments with people like bytheclock or &quot;mongol warrior&quot;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.pekingduck.org/2012/06/the-great-leap-forward-on-film/#comment-177664&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;because such &quot;discussions&quot; would only bring the schoolkid out&lt;/a&gt; in me.

Btw, &lt;i&gt;your&lt;/i&gt; comment remind me of an elementary schoolyard, too, t_co. Like &quot;oh, oh! you are in serious trouble! What will the headteacher say!&quot;</description>
