Good point, but whatever you do don't say anything negative about the little creep or somebody with the word fish in his name will call you a nazi!

He has a negative effect on US interests. If it harms the prosecution of the war on the Islamists that love to attack us, then he's aiding them every but as much as if he worked for AQ.

He meets any rational definition of a "high value target" to me. He should get invited someplace like Yemen to give a talk, then have an unfortunate accident.

One should never wrestle with a pig in mud. Both parties get dirty and you soon realize that the pig enjoyed it more than you did.

I noticed that it still says "sex changes". Any thread that has "sex" in the title is probably interesting, right?

Sadly, I do not have enough information on this topic to form an opinion. However, that will not keep me from +1

Excuse me? Did I ever call you a Nazi?
All I did was comment on how you misused Godwin's law in order to not having to provide any counterarguments to a very valid point Catfish raised. "You used the word Nazi so no matter how valid your point is, I win and I don't have to provide any arguments for it."

So now you turn towards even dirtier debating techniques, and falsely accuse me of calling you a Nazi. Well, nice discussing with you. You don't want to (or cannot?) provide any arguments for your claim, so you completely misuse a certain rule so you don't have to. When someone points out your way of "winning" a debate is completely flawed, he's a Nazi.

the assange issue is a simple one

there are those who think him a hero because he exposed national secrets.

and there are those who consider him a criminal because the exposure of those secrets has resulted in people being killed.

i tend to agree with the second group.

the problem with the concentration camp comment is that he was NOT performing the good deed of exposing the United States as having massive camps in which they were killing Blacks, Jews, Illegal Immigrants, handicapped and mentally deficient people.

he WAS exposing vital and important information to the our enemies.

I wonder if the number of people killed as a result of the leaked intel exceeds 0. I do know that the number of people killed by the US that Wikileaks revealed does exceed 0. Therefore I think you'd better change the issue into:

there are those who think him a hero because he exposed national secrets.

and there are those who consider him a criminal because he exposed national secrets.

You make a valid point here.
But he DID expose the US as having killed innocent people (UAV incident anyone?)

I wonder how vital and important most of the revealed information really is in the hands of the enemy.

No you didn't. You're not the fish that I was referring to. Looking to get insulted much? Try some reading comprehension next time.

What discussion? You commented on something that I said to another person about a third person, neither of which was you. That's not a discussion.

Quote:

What claim? I said that I think that Assange is a criminal. Am I not entitled to my opinion? How about you show why you think my opinion means that I also favor silencing concentration camp survivors like Catfish implied.

Quote:

Right, valid point. The way I see it you made a totally inaccurate statement and called me a coward. I don't see much in the way of counterarguments or justification in that either.

Now you're just making things up. Show me where I have called anyone a nazi, especially you.

Only if you really want to be because he was not referring to any specific individual, most certainly not you but that's ok you go ahead and feel insulted.

Here was me thinking he was changing his sexual orientation/gender

Having read the link I think there is something 'not quite right' about both of them....something odd going or having gone on.

The same advice applies equally to you.

One should never wrestle with a pig in mud. Both parties get dirty and you soon realize that the pig enjoyed it more than you did.
