也谈香港人 。。。

[frank.Irvine]

不是小朋友谈香港，无此见识，不敢造次，是转帖，转自 Prof. Daniel A. Bell and Prof. Avner de-Shalit，

屁大出版的新书，<<The Spirit of Cities: Why the Identity of a City Matters in a Global Age>>

其中一章是 <<Hong Kong: The City of Materialism>>

"The Term materialism is pejorative in English. Applied to social life, it refers to people who care

more about the accumulation of material good than 'higher' pursuits like religion, culture, politics,

or philosophy。。。"


同意 Prof. Bell 对香港的观察，遗憾的是好些读书人买文弄墨、理横节曲，却连香港的三姑六婆与阿哥阿叔

的价值观是啥整的都还糊里又糊涂，却"胆敢"指肉为脓，磨刀霍霍，要剜了人家的心。。。好唉!

个人观点，如有雷同，纯属巧合。

香港是纯商业社会，文化除了钱钱钱，就是money money money，这样也好，很直接，换句话说：不扯没用的。

香港人口7, 8 百万，弹丸之地，这样的生存环境由不得人不精明。人精明没错，至少比自以为是的SB强。

香港人瞧不起内陆人，由来以久，原因无非是历史形成的经济差距和文化差异。如果有着一日，内陆比香港还富，相信这种瞧不起会自然消失或反转。

孔三妈骂的也对也不对，说对, 香港人的口头语：你们内陆啦，我们香港啦，是挺恶心的; 说不对，如果有一部分香港人是狗，那末只能说明有一部分内陆人和狗是亲戚。因为大家毕竟都是中国人！！！！！

Hong Kong: The City of Materialism 不为过但中国大陆正在迎头赶上，这不是一件好事。

香港人是不是真精明，懒得说，反正80%的人住在到处是痰印的廉租公屋里面，衣服挂满窗口，

香港发达的90%都是大陆移民和大陆偷渡客。李嘉诚不是移民?包玉刚不是移民?土生香港的，算了，一辈子住在公屋踩2脚大陆人，就自以为很醒目。

佩服，香港就是那80%混得不好有暴强优越感，还有人崇拜更佩服。
