Prostitution in ancient Greece

2014-2-5

One red princeling Hu Shiying posted a photo of a private gathering of China's red princelings, in which a infamous red guard Song Yaowu appeared.

The party was hosted by Xi Jinping, then CCP Party Boss in Zhejiang Province. Others appeared in this photo includes Bo Xicheng (son of Bo Yibo and brother of Bo Xilai), Liu Yuan (son of Liu Shaoqi), Wang Qishan (son in law of Yao Yilin), Yang Li (daughter of Yang Shangkun), Chen Yuan (son of Chen Yun) among others. Song Yaowu is the women 4th from left in the front. Xi Jinping is 3rd from right in the second row.

Song, together with another Red Guard Deng Rong (daughter of Deng Xiaoping), killed their teacher Bian Zhongyun, the first teacher to be killed by students in the Great Cultural Revolution. The incident opened an era when red guards across the country were mobilized to take over schools by violence. Many more teachers would be tortured and killed in the next few years.

One of those from whom Hu Jie got evidence was another teacher at the school, Lin Mang.In the film Lin states that the Red Guards beat Bian Zhongyun in a toilet room. He described one of the perpetrators as a tall, thin girl. Lin also stated in the film that Red Guards forced him to carry Bian's body after her murder.

Based upon subsequent additional credible evidence received,the tall, thin girl who Lin saw beating Bian was Liu Tingting, daughter of Liu Shaoqi, the president of China.

Ancient Greek Prostitutes were divided into several categories. The "pornai" πόρναι[4] were found at the bottom end of the scale. They were, as alluded to by the etymology—the word comes from pernemi πέρνημι "to sell"—the property of πορνοβοσκός pornoboskós, or pimps, who received a portion of their earnings. This owner could be a citizen, for this activity was considered as a source of income just like any other: one 4th century BCE orator cites two; Theophrastus in Characters (6:5) lists pimp next to cook, innkeeper, and tax collector as an ordinary profession, though disreputable.[5] The owner could also be a male or female Metic.

In the classical era of ancient Greece, pornai were slaves of barbarian origin; starting in the Hellenistic era the case of young girls abandoned by their citizen fathers can be added. They were considered to be slaves until proven otherwise. Pornai were usually employed in brothels located in "red-light" districts of the period, such as Piraeus (port of Athens) or Kerameikos in Athens.

The classical Athenian statesman Solon is credited as being the first to institute legal public brothels. He did this as a public health measure, to contain adultery. The poet Philemon praised him for this measure in the following terms:

[Solon], seeing Athens full of young men, with both an instinctual compulsion, and a habit of straying in an inappropriate direction, bought women and established them in various places, equipped and common to all. The women stand naked that you not be deceived. Look at everything. Maybe you are not feeling well. You have some sort of pain. Why? The door is open. One obol. Hop in. There is no coyness, no idle talk, nor does she snatch herself away. But straight away, as you wish, in whatever way you wish.

You come out. Tell her to go to hell. She is a stranger to you.[6]

说起古希腊

谢国忠在他文章中曾提及类似话题

谢国忠还替IBM说话  

Black reports that every Nazi concentration camp maintained its own Hollerith-Abteilung (Hollerith Department), assigned with keeping tabs on inmates through use of IBM's punchcard technology. In his book, Black charges that "without IBM's machinery, continuing upkeep and service, as well as the supply of punch cards, whether located on-site or off-site, Hitler's camps could have never managed the numbers they did.

此前并未有基层党政工作实践经历的邓质方儿子邓卓棣选择到自己爷爷当年组织领导反政府动、暴乱的地方出任副县长的消息传出后，每天都能够创造出无数黑色幽默的中国网民们质疑最多的就是此公的美国国籍问题。故事的原委是，上个世纪八十年代初,北大毕业后在中国中国科学院短期工作了一段时间的邓质方到了美国纽约州罗彻斯特大学攻读物理学,导师是著名量子光学理论家高孚教授。当时，邓三公主和她的丈夫都是中共驻美大使馆的干部，邓质方至少初到美国阶段是中共政权的公费留学生。在美国留学期间，邓质方曾接受《新闻周刊》的访问，传说遭到邓小平的训斥。但也有人说非但如此,当时的邓小平对自己儿子对外讲话掌握的分寸很满意。

获得博士学位后，因为等待同在一所学校读博的妻子刘小元毕业邓质方便在IBM等大公司工作了两年左右。


我有一个同学

范星宇，她就去了希腊，她正就职于IBM http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_and_the_Holocaust

我看地方文革史的时候发现

他父母在复旦大学念本科的年代，复旦大学正在罢课，互相内斗

但她父母却是复旦大学计算机系毕业的（他父母50年代不知哪年出生）

也就是说，他父母是文革逍遥派，跟更高级别权贵，文革正常读书的那些人类似

他的父母后来也在宝钢，他父母也从来没从宝钢辞职，而前往私营企业或外资企业工作 

这个范星宇，她02年本科复旦大学计算机系毕业的时候，就拿4000多的税后工资，她家自90年代搬家无数次，她崇明老家也有自己的宅基地，他父母在上海市区，也有房子。

最终她现在搬到了上海市区，她后来跳槽到IBM。

她有一个微博，但很久不更新，她在微博哭穷，说自己没钱

她父母什么地位？宝钢90年代，她父母就发了一辆公车，然后用油都可以报销。然后她妈妈因为吃太多，得了糖尿病.她爸爸也没有提前退休，她妈妈更是如此。她爸爸妈妈公款出国游的国家无数。她爸爸妈妈在宝钢，一切吃用开销，都可以报销
