The founder of the Wikileaks website, Julian Assange, faces rape and sexual assault allegations in Sweden. In May, he lost his appeal to the UK's Supreme Court against extradition to Sweden and in June he took refuge in the embassy of Ecuador, which has granted him asylum.

Money was the No. 1 point of conflict in the majority of marriages, good or bad, that Dr. Orbuch studied. And 49% of divorced people from her study said they fought so much over money with their spouse—whether it was different spending styles, lies about spending, one person making more money and trying to control the other—that they anticipate money will be a problem in their next relationship, too.

A similar point was made about the tight resource constraints of the early Macintosh, and how they created a strong incentive to make use of the toolbox, doing things "the Macintosh way." That paid many dividends over the years.
. Yeah yeah save use the "Sweden is different, questioning is the same as charging him" crap you usually retort with about this point.
In short, facts don't matter. You continue to honor your custom.
And yes, technically the charges would come after Assange is next interrogated by the Swedes due to the procedures of their legal system. That is a sequence shared by other EU countries.
You mean that like many rape victims she was hesitant to complain to the police, but after finding that her attacker had a history of such assaults she found the courage? Hmmm.
That is one of the key tactics that has been used against Assange's critics. How many terrible things have been said about the women who filed a complaint against him for sexual assault? Assange's defenders use that tactic with regularity, and seethe when anything is said against him. That includes mod bombs on Slashdot.
Assange's history of treating other people like dirt, including allies, friends, and Wikileaks volunteers, goes back long before he chose to jump bail and become a fugitive from justice. It hasn't exactly been much of a secret either.
under most (if not all) UHC schemes the government takes the role of medical insurer, not the role of care giver.
That really depends on the form of government. In some it does, in many it hasn't, historically. You could inquire with the former residents of what was the Soviet bloc, for example.
Those of us who live in civilized societies...
Which includes the US. The US has a different system with different trade-offs in terms of pricing, wait times, drug and technology availability, and so on. Although there are challenges for the US system, it isn't clear that either the UK's NHS or Canada's current systems are sustainable in their present form either. Australia seems to be in better shape, and might be the best model if the US goes to some form of nationalized healthcare. It is clear that the continuing train wreck that is Obamacare will have to be done away with, reformed, or replaced. It seems unlikely that the Democrats will consent to removing the wreckage having forced it on the country.
You've just noted that there is an existing infrastructure, and it is common to live off of existing infrastructure until forced to move off it. To that I will add that if I recall correctly, 10 years ago 90% of the optical fiber that existed was dark - there wasn't enough demand for it due to overbuilding in previous years. I wouldn't be surprised if that had something to do with the leisurely pace in adding both capacity and speed.
And that of course is why you received a "-1 flamebait" unjustly. Some moderators believe, mistakenly, that their job is to punish nonconformity in thinking.
I think the mental side is often more difficult than the physical side when it comes to the effects of war on an individual service member. We still don't have a really good understanding of what goes on inside the head due to the events and demands of war, although a much better picture is emerging with modern medicine, research, and the veterans of the current conflicts. When you add to that the difficulties with finding effective treatments and drugs without bad side effects, some veterans have had a very difficult road to walk indeed. In wars past the US hasn't always done well in treating psychological casualties. And the US military's personnel system used in some wars didn't provide the structure and practices that other armies have had that helped provide resilience in soldiers. Hopefully things will improve on all fronts, and there will be a future of greater peace that won't call for such sacrifice.
I'm sorry to hear about your father. I hope he found some peace, and you as well.
Gee, growing up in, say, Ireland or Israel would've probably shaken your precious soul...
The Israelis, British, and Irish had time to acclimate, and grew up with it. We will acclimate as well. The conflict with al Qaida and associates won't be going away any time soon, probably not for decades. And do keep in mind that there is going to be a growing problem in your neighborhood in the future. But at least the Germans are stepping up their intelligence operations on all fronts, so you should be cozy.
The Irish, in essence, only wanted local sovereignty. That isn't really going to work with al Qaida. They don't just want what they think is "theirs," they want it all, to rule the world. There is a fundamental conflict. They will have to either give up, or be patient enough for the Western world to die off through the currently plummeting birthrates that are well below replacement rate. Who is going to convince them to do that? The conflict in Ireland was more ethnic than religious, and even then the difference in religion was nothing compared to the extremist Islamist position and that of any Western country. You are thinking in the right timeframe though - decades. We basically have one down, and how many to go?
What we're really going to need, and soon, is a program to know what all these *coin currencies are, and maybe some exchanges to change your Xcoins to Ycoins to dollars. Maybe even a consumer report on the issue: "We recommend avoiding FraudCoin as a poor value."
Slashdot Mirror
No, they are genuine cuts in the armed forces. There will be substantial cuts on the civilian side, and overall funding. Sequestration started it.
Future attacks on the US will be handled by diplomatic notes form Secretary of State Kerry expressing strong disapproval.
Except for the rape thing.

No. he is not accused of rape. He has been accused of nothing.

Hopefully this will help reduce the divorce rate.

Or Assange's word. And this story isn't from "the government," but from someone he chose to work with.

Speaking as a ghostwriter, this is not how one operates. This guy is just being an asshole.
If you think he is being "an asshole," you apparently haven't looked at Assange's behavior.
We probably won't find out what the man has done anytime soon since he will not go face the charges against him.
If you can't win: Ad Hominem.

Also, what happens when there is a lunar eclipse?
Not much, in North Korea.
Collect massive amounts of power, and beam it towards a planet. What could possibly go wrong?
In a surprise vote at the UN, the General Assembly accepted a proposal from Krasnovia to rename the planet. The new name is "Alderaan."

If you think the US is an authoritarian country you don't understand the meaning of authoritarian.
That doesn't really work for you if you are in the damaged / isolated area.
That's a "long string of terrorist attacks"?
