后感: 哥本哈根气候会谈
1 Comment // Dec 30 09 // Rants
简单来说，这是一个大家都在电梯里放屁，然后觉得臭了就认为大家再放屁就会死人的一场讨论。 不但如此，在规定大家只能放多少屁的时候，之前放屁最多的口头上虽然承认大家都有责任控制放屁，但却不对自己的过去的行为负责。除此以外，虽然不完全禁止放屁，但却限制别人不可像自己那样般放屁。为了实现不可乱放屁的目标，他们认为那些未来可能吃和他们一样的多的人，要让他们来检查屁眼。而且只能几时才能放和允许放多少的屁才为负责任都要以他们的标准来衡量和约束。在这样苛刻的条件下，竟然还厚颜无耻的说如果要花钱检查是别人自家的事。但在集体抗议后，才反过来说如果要他们出钱的话就必须接受他们的条件，要不然门都没有！而那些还没放屁，或者放屁最少的，就嚷着说之前放过屁的那些人的屁是最臭的，已经放了很多屁的人应该担当更大的责任。
试想，有哪个笨蛋会接受如此的狗屁道理喔？！难怪谈了他妈的整整半个月，都谈不拢啦！
