    在有些地方,这成了人们议论的话题。

  • 那一年,独生女和独生子相爱了。
        都是家中独苗,有着同样的孤家寡人遭遇,彼此不免惺惺相惜有着共同语言,很快眉来眼去,感情渐入佳境。
        独生女的家里人对她说,找个能入赘上门的男朋友。独生子的家里人对他说:找个能嫁给他的女朋友。两方家长都反对他们的交往,独生女有一些犹疑,独生子说,独生子和独生女结合好啊。你我都是公务人员。现在国家规定有公职的夫妻只能生一个。你我...
  • 中国人感性,往往把感情看得很重。所以梁祝的故事成了千古绝唱,所以杜十娘飞身一跃,桃花飘零葬江水。爱情这个东西很神奇,魔力非常大,所以不少人甘愿为此而献身,连命都不要了。跳楼的有,上吊的有,投缳的有,服毒的有,割脉的有,双双相拥沉水的也有。总之是,只要中了这个魔咒,有很多人还真是解不开。杜十娘怀抱百宝箱,都能完成凄美纵身一跃,想想这需要多大的勇气。
    可是尽管如此,也正因为感性,所以有个叫尊严的东西,有时也俗称面子,这个东西也非常重要,甚至在爱情面前也不例外。就像英雄,在西方人眼里,战死在沙场...
  • 卢武铉去世了,尽管尚有疑点,但目前所能得到的消息称,5月23日早上,这位农民出身、曾因誓言向贪腐和裙带门阀政治开战而赢得民心,却最终沦为放任亲族贪腐、涉嫌全面受贿的反面典型的韩国前总统,在留下一封充满忏悔的遗书后,决然跳下了山崖。

    裙带政治、政商勾结,是人人痛恨的,卢武铉的死,距韩国大检察厅宣布对其涉嫌违反《政治资金法》的指控调查获得突破性进展,掌握其女儿截留政治献金证据不过11天。这11天里,舆论、公众,甚至昔日的拥护者,无不将自己的愤怒毫不掩饰地倾泻在这位失意政客身上...
  • 自去年12月成品油定价机制正式启动以来,外界质疑和要求提高政策透明度的呼声就一直没有消停过。本月初,有关部门从善如流,公布了定价机制全文。但从实际效果看,这种努力不一定能消除市场的不确定性和担忧。

     

    一方面,公众由此患上了一种神秘的“22日神经官能综合征”,即今年3月25日最近一次调价后,每隔22个工作日,就不得不重复焦虑一次。例如,5月7日、5月28日前后,在市场预期和传闻的驱动下,国内许多城市都出现了加油站...
  • “5月28日《人民日报》报道,国资委统计的数字显示,中石油等100家中央企业2009年计划招收应届毕业生203616人,比2008年实际招收人数增长近7%。

     

    近年来,央企利润直线上升,但是,企业为社会应尽的责任却不尽如人意,具体表现为:利润上缴国家不到10%,A股东分红一百年不够发行价成本,H股股东分红却年年超过发行价;招收大学生人数太少,巨额利润只为少数人提供高工资。不论从哪个角度看,央企扩招大学毕业生,都是企业最基本...




  • 国务院5月27日公布了固定资产投资项目资本金比例的调整结果,其中最值得关注的是,普通商品住房项目投资的最低资本金比例从35%调低至20%,成为此次调整受惠最大的项目之一。南京部分开发商表示,此举表明房地产市场的行情并不如销售数据看到的那样“光鲜”,一些企业的资金链依然紧绷,下调资本金比例能否起到救市的效果还有待观察。
