當她望著自己制服上的國徽，
跟著深深的一吻，

那又是另一次國民教育。

這面銅牌，
為她們帶來的，
比起很多掛滿金牌的明星運動員，

是更大的喜悅。

老實說，我開始唔係好明，點解我d friends，有咁多時間讀咁多網上文章，又可以在fb 發咁多發人深省的言論？

你哋d 時間係點樣用？唔駛做？

既佩服，又妒忌，亦擔心。

看見別人的國家女皇，也陪你一齊扮跳直升機，

再加一個潛入自己國寶級的樂團惡攪的先生，

相信你會同意，

別人對自己國家的自信，

不是靠千軍萬馬大堆頭的完美演出，

幽默，不是用來掩飾自悲，

反而是自信的表現。

這是國民教育。

毋忘六四，到底你毋忘甚麼？

有人毋忘殺人兇手的逍遙法外，
有人毋忘自己國家的民主改革遙遙無期，
有人毋忘當年學子的天真，於是提醒自己學精一點，不要再攞苦嚟辛，
有人毋忘當年行動還不夠果斷，還是早該斬草除根，
有人毋忘當日移民的決定，
有人毋忘當日留守的決定，

毋忘六四，到底你毋忘甚麼？
為什麼？

I’d imagine the whole world was one big machine. Machines never come with any extra parts, you know. They always come with the exact amount they need. So I figured if the entire world was one big machine, I couldn’t be an extra part. I had to be here for some reason. And that means you have to be here for some reason too.

拉布，正如李怡說，就是以自殘的手段，進行抗爭。

Eric Metaxas takes on Dan Savage in today’s Breakpoint commentary. You can listen to it here.

Here’s a snippet:

Tolerance used to be defined as a willingness to put up with the beliefs or practices of those with whom we disagree. Today, tolerance means we must accept the beliefs and practices of others as correct — or risk being called a bigot. It’s interesting that this redefinition of tolerance almost always involves debates over homosexuality — and it always seems to be people on just one side of the debate calling those with whom they disagree “intolerant.”

I mean, when was the last time you heard a Christian accusing a gay-rights activist of intolerance because he refused to acknowledge that biblical teachings about homosexuality are correct?

And now we’re seeing the same kind of redefinition going on regarding the word bullying. If you so much as whisper that you believe that true marriage can take place only between one man and one woman, you’re accused of bullying.

In a way, this is the reason we should embrace the good-will of the anti-bullying bill 13, but not the bill itself.
