  1. Re:Price on WikiLeaks Calls For Assange To Step Down · · Score: 1

    I don't think it's ever gone in Sweden. We don't have that stupid "oh so they didn't got you and now they never will!" AFAIK.

    We used to have a maximum time for how long you could be prosecuted/sentenced but I wonder if we didn't dropped that very recently.

    So if there is evidence you haven't done something showing up: Fine.
    If there is evidence you did: Fine.

    I don't follow the case.

    I'm sure there will be some "evidence" or information good enough if he actually get sentenced anything. Which he's not atm.

    Most people know nothing, and for sure no-one except the girl and Assange himself knows _ALL_, I assume.

    Atleast I'm from Sweden and he's got the rape case back.

    I haven't said he's commited rape. But I doubt it was made up (since the girl said they had sex so atleast they where together that far..)
    But then I just _ASSUME_ that he may have done something she didn't liked, and a no is a no in Sweden. I wonder if I didn't read something about cumming in her mouth or something such. Kinda retarded if that's all there is and he had "promised" not to but did anyway. But whatever. Bad behavior? Yes. The end of the world? Probably not. Or well, heard something about a broken condom to, so maybe she even gave oral with condom on but he had damaged it (or it was damaged) so she gut cum in her mouth. WTF do I know. I don't care much until he's sentenced because then I can believe what was said. I've got no interest in the latest Aftonbladet or Expressen stories.

    He's most likely guilty of something.

    Just sad that it happened here, but his history in the area didn't looked too good so not that weird that someone may not have liked him.

    Stupid if he misbehaved but whatever, things move on.

    Yesterday on Swedish TV regarding the election Lars Ohly was talking about how buying a prostitute should get harder sentences (6 months at most now I think) but thought (I think) that people should get out sooner from prison if they behaved well so that someone in jail for harsh mayhem could get out in 6 months instead of 1 year.

    Yeah, because buying sex from someone willing to sell it and eventually close to kill someone is more or less the same.

    It should rather be legal, if people are forced to sell sex that's another issue.

    Anyway, that was somewhat unrelated. I hope he got the right sentence.

    Of course we should subsidize it since that keeps us alive if things goes bad. If no-one wants to grow an excess of crops you're screwed if it does.

    That's not the issue. The issue is that they don't. And that the excess is dumped there for prices they can't compete with.

    d) have them ban import of foreign food.

    I read that you can filter out e-coli or whatever common bacteria there was in water with a regular piece of cloth since the bacteria where grouped into bigger groups/particles.

    The goal for anyone eating food should be to get fat.

    "Don't eat for pleasure, eat for performance", getting fat and eating because you need to / what you need to isn't the same.

    Regarding the flavors of course you can do that but imho it's stupid because you're consuming plenty of alcohol without getting drunk. Though you most likely enjoy it because you DO get somewhat drunk / associate it with being drunk / whatever.

    Even if they are using the grapes from Tokay in Australia, the soil is different. The soil has a noticeable effect on the wine produced, even if the grapes and methods are the same, so restrictions on regional names make sense.

    Except that last time I read about this just a few weeks ago it seemed like the wine "experts" couldn't notice that it was the same white wine when they compared the same white wine to the same one with added color making it look red ... Personally I want to add that I somewhat doubt the taste of the actual color is 100% out of the equation.

    Also the same wine in old/beautiful bottles also tasted better than when it wasn't in the same bottles ..

    And there was some comparision of French and Californian wines where the later won or whatever.

    I don't care much, I don't like wine.

    Chances however are that it's close to 100% snobbery and just the knowledge of knowing you have a more expensive product in your glass. The goal for anyone drinking wine, beer or liquor should be to get drunk.

    I can taste the difference of chocolate or flavored teas. I wouldn't be so sure / seriously doubt it was far as noticing a difference on growing location thought. Rather processing, amount of sugar, flavorings, eventually kind of bean in the chocolate case.
