You misunderstanding what I wrote has nothing to do with semantics, and I have not twisted anything you've written to mean anything else.
When people call for someone's assassination, and it's printed in the media, it's assumed he's guilty before he ever gets to see the inside of a court room. It makes no difference whether those statements are retracted after the fact, they're already out there, for the world to see, and people's opinions are influenced by those statements.
I can't see Assange ever getting a fair trial, and in the end it'll be the judiciary on trial by public opinion.
If you read the first post, you'll find there was a similar poll started for women, so please put your finger away, before someone is tempted to put it to better use.
I've been known to use some rather colourful language a few times.
I don't see how you can blame WikiLeaks for America losing any influence, prestige, or anything else, when it is the actions of your leadership that is at fault.
Why look for a scapegoat? Why try pin the blame on someone else?
Mind you, I don't see the Nobel peace prize as having as much significance as it once did. If anyone can get it for doing nothing, then the values it stood for have dropped to those lower than a bowling trophy.
RE: Would the planet be better off without people?
Where did you hear that?It's far from the truth, but don't let that stop you from posting it.
