Are you really that much of a blithering !@#$% moron?
"If it is not a crime, why is Assange so nervous about the possibility of the US asking Sweden to extradite him? Sweden would just turn around and say "no, it's not a crime, go away USA".
Frankly, if you don't have the intellect to even familiarize with an issue in the slightest, you should keep your noggin up your rectum.
Issue of Sweden (so called rape charges, which from what I understand have even been denied by at least one of the supposed victims). Have no relation to the U.S. Even if convicted, there is nothing related to the rape charges for which the U.S. could extraide him.
The concern is not about the rape charges, but the fact that U.S. wants to string him high because he revealed a lot of uncouth behavior on the part of U.S. government officials and policies. Assange has no fear of standing trial for the rape charges, he knows they'll never stand up. He has fear of being led to Sweden only to be handed over to the U.S. government.
And that's what any moron with 2 IQ points understands this is about.
It's really all about politics. Assange stirred up the hornets next of big global government entities. And that is ALL this is about, and everyone with more than a shred if real IQ knows that.
Come on, Australia won't even let a Nazi war criminal be extradited. But failure to use a condom. That makes you the most wanted accused person in the world. No, can we really stop with the wool over our eyes.
That's a BS solution. Because eventually, such will be possible via technology you have no choice of.
I guess I should get rid of my car. Since I am required to have a license plate, and they can now track me. Oh, they're working on tracking by satellites. Guess I shouldn't go outside either.
Heck, did you hear, they're experimenting with reading people's minds. Granted the technology is in it's infancy but in 20, 40, 100 years from now. Guess Americans will have to STOP THINKING too!
Clarify my argument. It wasn't that privacy is necessary for cause of SSN, and security through obscurity.
My point was that privacy, while not explicity stated in the Constitution as a right/privilege, does in fact relate to the well being of the individual. And violations of privacy can in fact cause harm to an individual. And as such, there is justification to legal protect privacy.
Really, so I create super secure technology, and.gov goes to BIG TELCO and demands they add "backdoor" for them. (This is going on all the time. Having good/bad tech is not the point. So no, that's not my argument.)
Reminds me of that little Cuban boy who was "NOT" seized from his family at gun point by SWAT police...until the photo was released that showed just that.
a) seize the British embassy b) hold the British embassy employees hostage until Assange is given free travel c) threaten to eject all citizens of the British commonwealth
It'd really raise a media fuss, and probably gain Ecuador a lot of tourism.
How is removing a nation's diplomatic status, and sending in armed police/soldiers NOT "storming", "raiding", "invading", or whatever else you want to call it?
It wasn't rape, everythign was consensual. It was over the use of a condom or not. And the fact that he slept with two different women in the same week. And that's the case...
In fact, in America, the allegations wouldn't have even stood up for filing a case.
This is politics, not rape related, and EVERYONE knows it.
Assange doesn't need asylum, there is no threat of unfairness or risk to Assange.
And if you don't hand the bloody miscreant over, we'll rescind your embassy's status and send troops into your former embassy and seize Assange. (Kudos to Ecuador for doing the right thing and not conceding to a bully.)
So by that logic, they have right to listen into my conversation on my phone since it's broadcasting. Heck, talking in the privacy of my home is broadcasting sound waves.
Oh, hell, I send out alpha waves too. Guess in a few years it'll be legit to listen in on my thoughts when the technologies allows.
Right now, Adobe has to pay to develop Flash/Flex/ActionScript. Now all you open source fans will develop HTML5 for them, and they need only sell their tools to the mindless masses.
The strategy is economically smart, prestige wise stupid, and strategy wise foolish.
They should have simply opened up Flash, built a better method of ActionScript to communicate with the DOM. And pushed AS3.0 as a strongly typed alternative to JavaScript.
Open sourced, and enough would have continued carrying Flash forward for them, freely. And likely improved it.
Great, long live closed systems with 30% gross profits going to the world's biggest company. Long live sucky software like iTunes from #crApple
Yes, Flash had it's issues and annoyances, but it did a LOT of things that even the wonder-child HTML5 does not do. Oh, and guess what...a lot of those issues were simply "math", that's right. Any time you're doing a large amount of graphic rendering, and what not, you're going to hit performance issues.
Do you think HTML5 is somehow better? Do the same animation and what not, and you'll see a lot of the same issues of slow, bogged down systems.
Oh guess what, you won't be able to disable or turn of HTML5. Those annoying pop-up ads that you eliminated by uninstalling Flash, or using alternative loader plugins. Gone. Now you're going to be smeared with visual SPAM like we haven't been since the old "pop-up, under, and all over" era of the mid 90''s.
Yes, all knowing and wise arrogant slashdotters. You're view was so narrow, you've essentially sold yourself to the devil. You gripe about Flash being proprietary and closed source. But walk into Apple iOS ghetto. Brilliant.

Ah, so what you're saying is that you're never going to travel to a British commonwealth nation ever again?
a) Deceased mother, deceased because she sacrificed her life to get her son out of that regime's control
b) Custody battle doesn't need M16's pointed at children's heads.
c) Elian was NEVER in danger with the relatives he was with.

Hard to accept when you have government agencies declaring that a Ron Paul bumper sticker makes an individual interesting enough to track.
And what if I was a 3 armed man, how interesting I am, shouldn't play into my rights. What a moronic idea.
Melon ramen noodles are tasty too!
"First they came for my neighbor, then they came for you, when they came for me there was no one left to speak up."

Failure of using a condom is not rape. And is an insult to every woman who has been forcefully raped.
Reminds me of that little Cuban boy who was "NOT" seized from his family at gun point by SWAT police...until the photo was released that showed just that.
Solution...
If Britain does such, Ecuador should
a) seize the British embassy
b) hold the British embassy employees hostage until Assange is given free travel
c) threaten to eject all citizens of the British commonwealth
It'd really raise a media fuss, and probably gain Ecuador a lot of tourism.

This is politics, not rape related, and EVERYONE knows it.
First off, in what way is he a criminal.
The rape allegations are just that, and even the stated facts by claimants pretty much do not equate to rape.
Oh, he exposed illicit facts, and behaviors of corrupt government agencies. THat's not a crime. That should be public knowledge.
Really, and America and Great Britain have no human rights violations. Don't spy on their people. Track all their movements. Just saying...
Assange doesn't need asylum, there is no threat of unfairness or risk to Assange.
And if you don't hand the bloody miscreant over, we'll rescind your embassy's status and send troops into your former embassy and seize Assange.
(Kudos to Ecuador for doing the right thing and not conceding to a bully.)
Not in Japan...
Really, and you seem to think privacy is not associated with life, liberty, happiness?
How about I release your credit card numbers? your SSN?
Make public personal information?
You think that does not affect your life, your freedom, nor your happiness?
I think your crazy if you think not.
So by that logic, they have right to listen into my conversation on my phone since it's broadcasting. Heck, talking in the privacy of my home is broadcasting sound waves.
Oh, hell, I send out alpha waves too. Guess in a few years it'll be legit to listen in on my thoughts when the technologies allows.
No, because I shouldn't have to turn off my right to life, liberty, pursuit of happiness and/or property.
Living, is justification for monitoring, detention, seizure of assets. If you refuse to accept this, you have the right to cease living. .gov

And sadly we tolerate it, because what else are we going to do. Most Americans were sadly to stupid to vote for Ron Paul.
