I feel much safer sleeping at night know that people who share movies and songs are perused with the same tenacity as Nazi war criminals. The world is much safer knowing this vermin is almost apprehended. God save the queen!!
What's our Queen got to do with the insanity of US law enforcement?
Because I bet you didn't ask *every* time, did you. And didn't wait until she *completely woke up before frottaging, right? Then by the definition you're accusing JA of being a rapist, you are one too!
Oddly enough, most people do have definite permission (even if unspoken) before having sex, and don't start making love to an unconscious partner they don't know very well.
Anyway, if you want to complain about Sweden's definitions of rape/unlawful sex or whatever, go ahead, but it's irrelevant to whether Assange has broken their laws.
If I visit one of your fine US States where (say) oral sex is illegal and I get caught with my dick down someone's throat by a cop, I can't use "but it's not illegal at home" as a valid defence, can I?
You probably meant "not much difference" or "same concept". If you say "same difference", you would need to have two or more differences to compare.
You are quite wrong.
"Same difference" is a slightly joky English colloquialism which means "there is no difference between them". Whether it makes sense logically is irrelevant, although I suppose you could define it as meaning "the differences between A and B are the same, in that there are none".
Is that actually true, or is it just what you want to believe? "Gitmo" is for terrorists captured on the battlefield, although a certain sort of person will not be dissuaded from believing otherwise.
Afghanistan only became a "battlefield" because the US invaded a sovereign country.
If US troops invaded my country and started killing my neighbours, I would feel entitled to try to kill as many of them as possible. If that is your definition of a terrorist, then fuck you.
I'm fairly sure the "entire NSA and black ops establishment" could have come up with something a bit more damning for Assange if they'd really wanted to, such as planting some child porn on him, or drugs if he went somewhere that carries the death penalty for possession..
Manning realized that his responsibility was towards the U.S. people and taxpayers and not towards a few dirtbags in the military hierarchy that should have been put to trial a long time ago.
The main dirtbag being your C-in-C.
He and Blair should be serving 100 year prison sentences for war crimes by now (I don't believe in the death penalty).
Manning released content he wasn't authorized to. It wasn't his role/place to do what he did and he did so knowingly. He deserves the book be thrown at him simply because when you agree to the dictates of an oath, you are bound by them. He shouldn't have entered the military if he wasn't going to live up to its requirements upon him.
Utter bullshit. Military or other oaths do not trump morality and humanity. Otherwise the Nuremberg trials and the War Crimes tribunal in the Hague would be pointless and illegal.
You do not and can not abdicate your responsibility to act as a decent human being by saying a few words or signing a piece of paper.
“We just know we will deport him. As to which country, that would be up to the Swedish side,” the spokesperson said.
Why would it be up to Sweden?
If you deport someone, you have to decide where you're deporting them to. You don't just take them to your nearest sea border and drop them in the ocean.
Normally you deport people to their country of origin, unless they are in danger of torture/death. I don't see any reason for Cambodia not to deport him to Seden.
If little Johnny wasn't encouraged to do well in school then little Johnny doesn't get to be placed into the classes where his sheer presence gets to drag others down to his level if he is inclined to do that.
You're an elitist twat.
I went to a comprehensive (UK mixed ability school) and I was never dragged down to less able kids' levels. If anything, we all rose up together. As long as there is basic discipline imposed in the classroom (so that stupid potential bullies can't physically disrupt lessons) it all works out fine.
As soon as you start filtering kids out into academic and non-academic streams, you end up with slow/late developers being pigeon-holed as thick cannon-fodder and denied the chance to become as good as they possibly can.
Exactly. Let children be children, they cannot learn things like creativity in school, but they can learn it by playing and having fun. Playing is an incredibly underrated learning tool, as you say for social skills as well.
I don't know about you, but I spent a lot of my time at school playing and having fun. The lessons were just an occasionally interesting interlude.
It's why, especially nowadays when kids don't play unsupervised utside school as much as they used to, that I strongly disapprove of home schooling. It is precisely the social skills that are important at school rather than the teaching.
I'm really not sure how to read this. Troll or not?
I think anyone with the username "Frosty Piss" is pretty much declaring themselves to be a troll, although there is of course the alternative explanation that they are just very stupid.
I'm willing to bet you don't have kids yourself, or else you're very, very lucky.
If you let most kids loose with basically unstructured learning/education you'd have a generation where 90% of them couldn't tie their own fucking shoelaces or count from 1 to 10. Even the intelligent ones would have huge gaps in their basic understanding of the world.
He wasn't failed by summer but by a school system that allows a fourteen year old boy to enter high school not knowing 8 x 4.
But surely you're bound to have some, er, less able pupils who leave school illiterate and/or innumerate? Obviously you want as few as possible, but there will always be some.
I would be worried if (say) half the fourteen year olds didn't know what 8 x 4 was.
Since kids aren't designed to get up that early, it's just because of their selfish, lazy, assholes parents that both work
The parents probably don't have much choice about their working hours. In the real world, if your job starts at 8, that's when you turn up for work.
The problem is more with the ridiculous US concept of the work ethic, working from as early to as late as possible to prove you're a good god-fearing cog in the wheel.
Once you have kids, you will be reminded that 99% of them are not intellectual genius nerds. Mostly, they'd rather play tag or dig up worms and see what they taste like.
Are you actually going to say that any child with a belief in a higher power is doomed to a substandard life?
Since when is belief in a higher power the same as Creationism?
Creationists are a subset of religious believers, and by all accounts quite a large subset in the US. Whatever you may criticise atheists for, a belief in something as plainly insane as Creationism is not one of them.
Consider the fact that for 9 months a year, many (most?) kids spend more time in the care of the government than they do their biological "parents". We are pretty much running in an orphanage state as it is. It is sad really.
Well there's a simple solution. All parents should leave their jobs and teach their kids at home. That'll make the US ultra-competitive in the world marketplace.
one of my favorite summers was taking Geometry ahead of schedule over the summer at Rice University in 3 weeks. We went to class for 7 hours a day, would do a whole chapter per day and take the test on it the first thing each morning. It was the best time I had in school.
Jesus tittyfucking Christ on a bike you knew how to enjoy yourself!
I dunno where you live, but here in North Africa, summer is the season when hells' gates open and the heat of a thousand suns hits our cities. Third quarter of July, the temperature managed to hit a record 47 C. I don't think anyone can do something productive in such temperature. Comuting in a bus under those conditions is hard enough, let alone to actually study.
So the whole country just grinds to a halt for four months? I find that hard to believe.
Because when you have centralized control over something, i.e. education, the standards always settle on the lowest common denominator. All the various small school districts would love to do things differently, but they can't, because they're forced into one way of doing things by law.
They're also forced into maintaining minimum standards of educationl, discipline, health and safety and so on. Yes, isn't socialism fucking terrible? It deprives you of the choice of sending your kid to a school where they beat them, make them work ten hours a day scrubbing floors, feed them shit and teach them that the earth's made out of green cheese, sorry is 6,000 years old.

But what about Tesla? He invented free universal wireless energy distribution that nobody's ever been able to duplicate!
Probably for the same reason that no one's ever been able to duplicate perpetual motion, time travel or cold fusion devices.
The woman took 17 days to finish the London Marathon. I don't think it's quite ready for prime time superhero/evil criminal mastermind use yet.

Are you still on your summer holidays or are you bunking off school to masturbate to the Turner Diaries?

Cambodia has whores, do they have those in Swedish prison?
Didn't they make prostitution illegal in Sweden?
If so, then yes, their prisons will be full of whores.
