    It depends how somebody defines "evil", but there are certainly many bad human beings.

    An innocent and honourable man would have faced his accusers in court. I doubt Assange is either.



    For having consensual sex without a condom? Give me a break.

    People should be treated as they treat others. If Assange thinks that some people deserve to die, then I don't see any problems with other people thinking that he deserves to die.



    And I have no intentions of ever visiting Iran or any other primitive and barbaric, backwards countries.

Possible deception of the degree of contraception used? If guilty, he's certainly a bit of a shit, but an internmational criminal? Exceedingly suspect.

    I could have sworn we had the death pentalty. His offensive are punishable by death if he were American.

    That's what the rapist claims. Why do you take his word over the word of two women?



    We shall see what happens when the case gets tried. Some people here are going to look mighty foolish for having been duped and supporting a serial rapist and molester.

    Apple ][ is not a mature human being. If he is an adult, then he's an adult going on adolescent immaturity.

    Well, there a lot of people that support Micheal Jackson. Just saying.

    Sometimes maturity is relative.

    I am a highly evolved human being, though certain people who have not yet reached that level of maturity sometimes do take offense to people who dare to think differently and people who are not afraid of telling it like it is.

    I think he is probably 16. Either way the dude is out of control.

    You just proved my point. If it was something as simple as that, and if it was consensual, you'd think he'd want his day in court to clear his name. I know I certainly would.



    But instead he hides behind the legal system of my country, doing everything in his power to evade the Swedish authorities.

    State your sources. List specifics. Give examples. Support your statements. Otherwise, it's just catastrophizing in the form of unsubstantited generalizing that smacks of self-referencing journalism.

    Well, there are similarities between adolescent political passion and old aged fearful ranting. Each will spew forth nonsense (usually alarmist paranoia), arms flailing, whilst provoking nothing more than a shrug and head shake.

    The fact that he only mentioned the iPhone and Blackberry on this makes me say one thing: false. Could and should have said smartphone don't you think? So F U Assange
