And then you end with a personal insult - an attack on the person because you can't attack anything else.
Well, prima donna, don't get yourself excited cause it's bad for your skin.
Must I remind you sir, that you where the one lowering the level of the conversation by stating:
So shut the fuck up about "swedish rape".
So yes sir, for looking so shocked that I called you a dumb ass after you told me to "shut the fuck up" and acting like that, congratulations you sir, just won the dumb ass prize of the year.
And must I remind you that, there aren't any facts that make it a rape also in the UK sir dumb ass of the year. There are just alegations from the supposed "victims". And one of the victims herself, don't consider that rape, just "a man who had attitude problems with women.”, so, between that one and the other nut job who has a manual on how to get back at men that dump her and that hours later after she was suposedly raped was tweeting about how she was with “the coolest most important people in the world”, and continued having a relationship with him for 2 weeks and was even organizing parties for him... yes, we can see how strong are the accusation allegations.
Wow, then we should all be so lucky as to move to Lesotho, where there's double the rape rate as in Sweden.
Yes, of course. Lesotho, just like Denmark has everything to do with Sweden. All nordic countries, all moderated left social domocracies. Countries that obviously share the same set of values and cultural heritage.
I think it's you that must realize how weird is your comparison between Sweden and Lesotho, not me comparing Sweden and Denmark.
"violent sex" (as she referred to it to a friend that night) that she moved out of her own apartment until he left, etc.
Well, that's her version of the story, he didn't agree in that part. Then again, in the next days after she said she was "rapped" (must I remind you, "rapped" with her consent according her own allegations) she posted in twitter about her ongoing relation with “the coolest most important people in the world” and she was even organizing a party for him... yeah, this really looks like a rape, no doubt about it: "In the two weeks following the appeal of the prosecution, Ardin removes two tweets from her twitter feed, which demonstrate an ongoing relationship with Assange in the days following the August 13 s-xual encounter which forms the basis of her complaint—they show her organising a party for Assange, and bragging that she is with “the coolest most important people in the world” during that party"
And that's just one of the two women.
Yes, you are right, these are the words of the other woman tough:
One of two women involved told Aftonbladet in an interview published today that she had never intended Assange to be charged with rape. She was quoted as saying: “It is quite wrong that we were afraid of him. He is not violent and I do not feel threatened by him.”
Speaking anonymously, she said each had had voluntary relations with Assange: “The responsibility for what happened to me and the other girl lies with a man who had attitude problems with women.”
So, even the other woman, admits it was not a rape... just an "attidude problem". I guess that goes milles to state how stupid are Swedish laws in this regards, when the own "victim" doesn't take it as a rape... and it obviusly wasn't.
I end up just by saying that about one of the other allegations, that they where naked in bed and in the morning he was pushing himself against her and was trying to have sex... in what world do you live in? Of course he was trying to have sex. Really. Don't want to make sex, don't sleep NAKED with a men, after having sex with him some hours before. What's next in Sweden, a law that forbids casinos from taking money from people that go there to play?
That is not in the slightest bit accurate [judiciary.gov.uk]. Or, for a more concise but less referenced version, here [guardian.co.uk].
From your own sources:
The statement records Miss A describing how Assange then released her arms and agreed to use a condom, but she told the police that at some stage Assange had "done something" with the condom that resulted in it becoming ripped, and ejaculated without withdrawing.
Well, this guy's penins, must be 1 in 5 bilions, cause it willingly seems to be able to "do something" to condoms and rip them at its own will. Please give us all a break. The fact that "rape" cases in Sweden are 8 times higger than in Denmark, gives us all the info we need about these crap cases and feministocracy Sweden is becoming.
Go and read the various UK court rulings on the matter - in one of them the Judge actually affirmed that the things Assange was being extradited for would also be classed as rape in the UK.
Just because a judge in the UK is as dumb (or as politically biased) as his Swedish counterpart, doesn't make your argument any better.
And just for the sake of the integrity of your character, perhaps you should mention that one of the "victims" is a feminist nut job know as Radfem Anna Ardin who had published on her blog “Rebella” a list of how women could legally take revenge on an unfaithful partner – including sabotage of his new relationship, enticing his new partner to be unfaithful, having “a lunatic” stalk him, and sending letters and photos to make the new partner believe he still has a relationship with the avenger herself.
You could also point out that the "rape" stats in Sweden are 800% bigger than in Denmark. And, as I don't think you are ignorant enough to tell me that Dannish legislation is anti-feminist, than instead of tell me to:
So shut the fuck up about "swedish rape".
you should apologize for being a dumb ass and go back and try to do something productive with your life instead.
First, Assange is certainly not being extradited, accused of espionage nowhere in Sweden or in the UK... obviously. That is just some USA wet dream.
Second, the only dumb enough people to use the term "rape" for what he did, are the Swedish. He had sex, by mutual consent with a woman, and she found out the condom broke. Assage claims he didn't know (may be true or not, but it happened to me before and I can tell you, it's not very easy to know the exact conditions of a condom around your penis when you are inside a woman), strange enough she continued having intimate relations with Assage for some time after that, as did the other "victim" clamming the same. It was only when the two lucky girls found out we was not faithful to them, that they decided to press charges... talk about a moral high ground here.
Does this character even have any legal standing in England or Sweden? He certainly doesn't in Spain.
Think before you write. Baltasar Garzon had to give up being a judge in Spain... not a lawyer. And, he is acting as Assange's lawyer, not as its judge, obviously.
They basically confined their Arabic minorities in ghettos for a generation, which prevented those minorities from acquiring French culture and turned their native north african street-harasment-of-women culture into something really nasty.
Sorry but I don't believe that explanation. In many places of Portugal, including the capital, we also have many different types of emigrants, mainly from the African colonies (Christians), but also a lot of Gypsies and Muslims. And guess what, most of them, except for the Gypsies, live right in the center of the city.
Nobody is putting anyone away from society, at the most, the Gypsies keep away by themselves, although the government tried to pass laws to make their children go to school with the rest of the kids, but well... they don't want to. They also don't want to get a job because "it's against to their culture to receive orders" (No, I didn't say it, it was the head of the Gipsy Gulture Defense Association, that said it in a TV interview to try and justify the high unemployment rate and criminality related to them.
The Muslims, although a more recent arrival, keep themselves away from the rest of society as well and follow their own laws... at least when it comes to the way they threat their woman and daughter.
The only nice ones are the Chinese, they may not integrate much as well, but they follow the laws, their kids go to our public school with ours, and they are hard working.
Saramago is profoundly hated for having written that book. He was practically expelled from his own country and exiled himself in a small island in the Canaries.
What? Do you even know what are you talking about?
Saramago when to live in Spain because we actually married a Spanish woman, and because he was having a rife with the 1 minister and then president of Portugal, Cavaco Silva, about how the guy basically destroyed Portugal economy and independence by entering the European Union. So, to basically send him a big "scr#$ you", he ridicularized it's policies in the media and then went away from Portugal to send a message... because of the stupid politicians, not for being anti-religious.
People could care less about religion in Portugal and there are no fanatics threatening "heretics", or whatever you want.
Oh, NASA does this everytime their budget is on a stake. It's been a slow decade is space you know, so, they either invent new earth-like planets in the habitable zone of other starts - that in the end, after scientific peer review, seem like fake data - or, they say something really true... they found water on Mars... again.
Oh, is it next month that NASA has to renegotiate its budget with the US Congress?
Because they always give a big news stating the found evidence of water in Mars by that time. It's what, 10th year in a row we ear the same news? Those congressman should be a bit senile if they have to be remembered the same fantastically awesomely legendary big news about water in Mars every year.
To say the truth I'm not sure, perhaps they where those smaller tablets (7'' I think), since they where together with the smartphones and I was looking trough the specs of them all. But what you say makes sense. Still, there are many phones, still without a new successor (like the Galaxy Ace for instance) being sold with 2.2, not even 2.3, much less the 4 version which is the actual one.
Sorry to say, but I go around this thread with lots of name calling of the developer for being an Apple fanboy.
Whoever is stating that is obviously an Android fanboy. It's like all that name calling going on in football where you are so blind not to see how shitty is your team, so you just keep attacking the other - better - ones.
I have an iPhone 3G, which having served me well for the last years, it's showing to be quite slow with new apps, and besides I cracked the top corner of it and now the power button is broken. So, not wanting to give €600 for an off contract iPhone, I went to check some Android phones. Result:
- The similar to iPhone 4S, Android phones cost the same off contract.
- You have quite an hard time finding Android phones that don't use a huge screen factor. I want a smartphone, not a tablet.
- And the most stupid thing and that is really an issue to this post. Only 2 of the models at FNAC - it's quite a big shop in Europe - actually had the latest major version of Android. There where some using version 3 and the big majority was using Android version 2.3.
No, you can create whatever dumb arguments you want, but when you go to shop for a new Android phone, and most of them are being sold with an OS that's 2 major versions behind the actual one, then yes, you got a big problem, blame it on the manufactures and Google if you wish, but don't come and tell us that the developer is lazy for not wanting to support such a fragmented market.
P.S. - After seeing the sad state of affairs, I decided to save some more money and wait 6 months for the next iPhone and buy that instead of some outdated Android that costs the same for the same specs.
After thinking a lot about it, the only reason a man should marry after 30 is to not be alone when you die.
You are joking, right?
First: It's nice to foul around when you are in the 20's, so if you really want to spend your life with someone and don't want to betray that person, it's a good idea to wait some years and have fun while you can. Second: You know, for us men, it's a bit difficult to have kids on our own. And it's also a bit difficult to get a girl pregnant, giving birth and then keeping the kid just for the fun of it. Marriage - or a life together - it's a pretty strong necessity to raise kids... not to get someone that doesn't let you die alone.
This creates the illusion that girls are not interested in nice guys, as they may date 20 assholes and one or two nice guys, but it's the one or two nice guys that they marry (and don't divorce a couple years later.... there are girls who marry the assholes and then become the single-divorced-30's women with baggage.)
So, if you are a nice guy, when you are in your late 20's, you will finally get a girl that was banging around with a dozen of other not-so-nice guys, while you where getting 0 and waiting for some interesting-enough-girl that finally gets tired of dating assholes, wants to start a family with a guy that takes care of the kids for her, and wants some nice-guy that doesn't complain, does her every bidding and can live with having sexual relationships only one a week.
I'm not sure what people are doing to make Firefox bloat or crash but I'm willing to bet that the cause is add-ons and extensions that they've installed and not Firefox itself.
Well, now-a-days, extensions are a standard in every browser worth of that name. Different people have diferente needs and preferences, and that's why we want/need extensions in our daily workflow.
That being said, the fault rests on Firefox developers for not having adressed the problems that might be caused by the extensions. In fact, they didn't even adressed the extensions archaic system for years since people started complaining.
When was the last time you had to restart a mainstream browser to install/update an extension? Oh that's right, you didn't except if you use Firefox.
When was the last time your browser crashed on you because of a misbehaving extension? Who that's right, it didn't because Chrome and Safari (IE, anyone?) sandbox their individual pages, and if something crashes,then you just have to reload a page not restart the all brows...err Firefox.
I just wish that for one major iteration Mozzilla would stop adding half baked new stuff and concentrate in eliminating all the bugs, all this crazy memory and processor peaks that come from nowhere (no, it's not my system, it happens both in my iMac and my MacBook pro) and reworked the plugin system to work correctly (if Safari and Chrome can install and update plugins witouth restarting, so can you). I've been using the Firefox 4 RC since beta 4 and these nasty bugs remain there.
Really, I started with Firefox in my Windows days, because it was much lighter on the resources and less bloated than IE... but look at what it became?
If it wasn't for the tab scrolling feature that Safari still doesn't have, I wouldn't think twice in ditching Firefox.
I think you are making a mistake here. Now-a-days the power in the book industry it's not in the hands of the publishing houses, but in the hands of the distributors: Amazon, Barns & Noble, etc. These are the predators of the business and the ones bullying publishing houses and the writers with them.
Art quality cannot be measured in sale numbers. If the business model becomes: write some mediocre crap about vampires full of clichés that every teenager will read and sell it at.99$ for profit, we would stop having writers like José Saramago, Vargas Llosa, Orwell, Huxley, Edgar Alan Poe, etc.
Well, not trying to defend the guy because I don't really know the truth (and let's remind that neither do you). The story can very well be another.
- Girl get's get's drunk and acepts to have sex with the guy.
- Girl wakes up, with hangover next day and decides that after all, she didn't really want to have sex with the guy.
- Girl goes to the police and says the guy raped her.
- Guy get's pissed off because this is unfair and posts a stupid message in FB because he basically thinks she is a bitch.
Then again... why did this story get in to Slashdot?
The account he broke into was being used by Palin to conduct state business that she wanted to hide from being recorded in her official state email account.
Just a reminder.
Yeah, and very awakwardly, I didn't notice Palin going on trial about this. Hum, I wonder where all those equallity principles that USA constitution talks about do lie.
I see so many people, claiming the end of the platform just because "perhaps" now we can pirate games. Oh God, Sony will be loosing money (it won't actually, since the console building costs is lower than the selling costs and has been for quite a while now), the game devs will be loosing money, it's a dead end.
People, wake up. Every PC game is pirated. That didn't end up PC market, neither did it end up the development of PC games. Some people will pirate, some people will continue to buy the games. After all, if you wait a couple of months, you can buy a recent title for about €20, that's about the same you pay for 3 lunches out during work days... just cook at home, buy the game and have no hassle, downloading it, burning it on a BR disc or installing the ISO in the PS3 and patching it and fear Sony will know it, or if you are for it, just go ahead and have the lunch out and take a bit more time and trouble to have the cracked game. Either way, there will always be some pople buying it and some people pirating it.
In the end, pehaps this will be best for all of us and the prices will come a bit down.
Spain abolished slavery in 1811 and extended it in 1818 to ALL colonies, Cuba didn't, but against Spain will, because they had autonomous powers. In fact in 1817, Spain, actually paid the UK a big sum of money to embargo the trade of slaves to Cuba, since they where the biggest providers of slaves to the colony after Spain. In 1878, Cuba didn't even belong to Spain. So, learn how to read and interpret facts.
It shouldn't detract from the awful history of American slavery to point out that you are again wrong, and the last nation in Europe/Americas to abolish slavery was Spain.
I guess you are an American and by being so, you do know when the US civil war was right? I mean, at least that date and the declaration of independence date we expect you to know, but I'll give you a hand here, it began in 1861. You also know that it was after that civil war that US finally declared the abolitionism of slavery right? Now, Spain abolished slavery in 1811, except in some colonies, where it was abolished in 1818, can you guess if that was before or after US civil war? You are really pulling facts out of thin air, next time check (and post) some numbers first.

And then you end with a personal insult - an attack on the person because you can't attack anything else.

Hum. I prefer to stay a not-so-nice guy, thanks.

Now-a-days the power in the book industry it's not in the hands of the publishing houses, but in the hands of the distributors: Amazon, Barns & Noble, etc. These are the predators of the business and the ones bullying publishing houses and the writers with them.
Art quality cannot be measured in sale numbers. If the business model becomes: write some mediocre crap about vampires full of clichés that every teenager will read and sell it at .99$ for profit, we would stop having writers like José Saramago, Vargas Llosa, Orwell, Huxley, Edgar Alan Poe, etc.
Well, not trying to defend the guy because I don't really know the truth (and let's remind that neither do you). The story can very well be another.
- Girl get's get's drunk and acepts to have sex with the guy.
- Girl wakes up, with hangover next day and decides that after all, she didn't really want to have sex with the guy.
- Girl goes to the police and says the guy raped her.
- Guy get's pissed off because this is unfair and posts a stupid message in FB because he basically thinks she is a bitch.
Then again ... why did this story get in to Slashdot?
The account he broke into was being used by Palin to conduct state business that she wanted to hide from being recorded in her official state email account. Just a reminder.
Yeah, and very awakwardly, I didn't notice Palin going on trial about this. Hum, I wonder where all those equallity principles that USA constitution talks about do lie.
I see so many people, claiming the end of the platform just because "perhaps" now we can pirate games. Oh God, Sony will be loosing money (it won't actually, since the console building costs is lower than the selling costs and has been for quite a while now), the game devs will be loosing money, it's a dead end.
People, wake up. Every PC game is pirated. That didn't end up PC market, neither did it end up the development of PC games. Some people will pirate, some people will continue to buy the games. After all, if you wait a couple of months, you can buy a recent title for about €20, that's about the same you pay for 3 lunches out during work days ... just cook at home, buy the game and have no hassle, downloading it, burning it on a BR disc or installing the ISO in the PS3 and patching it and fear Sony will know it, or if you are for it, just go ahead and have the lunch out and take a bit more time and trouble to have the cracked game. Either way, there will always be some pople buying it and some people pirating it.
In the end, pehaps this will be best for all of us and the prices will come a bit down.
Spain abolished slavery in 1811 and extended it in 1818 to ALL colonies, Cuba didn't, but against Spain will, because they had autonomous powers. In fact in 1817, Spain, actually paid the UK a big sum of money to embargo the trade of slaves to Cuba, since they where the biggest providers of slaves to the colony after Spain. In 1878, Cuba didn't even belong to Spain. So, learn how to read and interpret facts.
It shouldn't detract from the awful history of American slavery to point out that you are again wrong, and the last nation in Europe/Americas to abolish slavery was Spain.
I guess you are an American and by being so, you do know when the US civil war was right? I mean, at least that date and the declaration of independence date we expect you to know, but I'll give you a hand here, it began in 1861. You also know that it was after that civil war that US finally declared the abolitionism of slavery right?
Now, Spain abolished slavery in 1811, except in some colonies, where it was abolished in 1818, can you guess if that was before or after US civil war? You are really pulling facts out of thin air, next time check (and post) some numbers first.
Belgium was in 1919. Are you even reading the numbers? Besides that makes the parent hokum when it said how USA was number one. I'm not the parent.
