37 The hand of the Lord was upon me, and carried me out in the spirit of the Lord, and set me down in the midst of the valley which was full of bones,
2 And caused me to pass by them round about: and, behold, there were very many in the open valley; and, lo, they were very dry.
3 And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O Lord God, thou knowest.
4 Again he said unto me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the Lord.
5 Thus saith the Lord God unto these bones; Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live:
6 And I will lay sinews upon you, and will bring up flesh upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and ye shall live; and ye shall know that I am the Lord.
7 So I prophesied as I was commanded: and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold a shaking, and the bones came together, bone to his bone.
8 And when I beheld, lo, the sinews and the flesh came up upon them, and the skin covered them above: but there was no breath in them.
9 Then said he unto me, Prophesy unto the wind, prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus saith the Lord God; Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live.
10 So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army.
11 Then he said unto me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel: behold, they say, Our bones are dried, and our hope is lost: we are cut off for our parts.
12 Therefore prophesy and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, O my people, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel.
13 And ye shall know that I am the Lord, when I have opened your graves, O my people, and brought you up out of your graves,
14 And shall put my spirit in you, and ye shall live, and I shall place you in your own land: then shall ye know that I the Lord have spoken it, and performed it, saith the Lord.
Man is a most complex simple creature: see what he weaves, and how base his reasons for doing so.
So apparently the reason I have so much trouble translating and explaining the meaning of a single word - 江湖 (Jianghu) - is because Chinese is such a high-context cultural language, and English is a very low-context cultural language.
1960's Rozzy became depressed when Woodstock happened, citing the decline of traditional values and the rise of young people and their music.
1920's Rozzy became depressed when prohibition was repealed, citing the decline of traditional values and the rise of young people and their music.
60's BC Rozzy became depressed when the Roman Republic fell, citing the decline of traditional values and the rise of young people and their music.
So, after consulting my alternate universe selves, I have decided that the first order of business when I rule the world is to outlaw both people and music. Because all people were young once, and all music was once new. I will have to arrest myself and my entire cabinet, so why wait?

The breaking point was skipping ahead five minutes to get past some Kinbote whining, and then finding out it was still happening and the phrase "A mystery without an answer is just a dumb question" which is one of the dumbest aesthetic sentiments I've ever heard.

To help you make this (non-)decision, here is a GIANT TABLE comparing the stout, healthy PREMIUM DOWNLOAD to the wretched, pathetic ‘free download,’ which we retain only out of pity. PREMIUM DOWNLOAD is going places in life. PREMIUM DOWNLOAD hails from a noble lineage, stretching back to patriarchs of a less sickly age. Cast your lot with ‘free download’ and you will waste your years in a purgatory of tickets and CAPTCHAs. You will curse with your dying breath the pivotal moment when, as a rash young thing, you made the wrong choice.

It will not work and you will have to re-load it. Then it will show you a grainy picture of the number ‘6513′ and instruct you to ‘type the three words.’ There are not three words, only one number. Do you see what things are like in the meaningless, debauched void of ‘free download,’ unbound by denotation or logic? We beseech you, in the bowels of Christ, think it possible that you may be mistaken!
We see you are lost. We weep. Enjoy your ‘free download,’ and may God have mercy on your soul.”

Acknowledge this
If we were to acknowledge this, we would get into Dumb Argument #5000.
(I don't personally disagree with you, but it always seems to lead in that direction anyway even if we don't actually disagree.)

I appreciate the apology anyway, though.
