Matrilwood Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 I'm not sure what you're trying to say with that last bit. So me comparing a global nuclear war with the end of the world is a false analogy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePointingMan Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 If I remember right, Nuclear weapons were deemed illegal by the UN.I don't get that, how do you ban something from war :? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icy Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 I don't get that, how do you ban something from war Wars have rules just like any game.. Not that anyone follows them. This WikiLeaks thing is real cool, I'm keeping an eye on it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matrilwood Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 It's not so much banned, more like all the countries make an agreement not to use this weapon. It's happened with quite a number of things, including mustard-gas and most fire-based weapons.While the enemy commander is generally regarded as so evil they deserves to have his arms ripped off and [censored], you don't want to be to inhumane to their soldiers. Hence those sorts of weapons aren't used any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLCL00 Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Well isn't this a wonderful thing to come across on a Friday morning l:[(But then again, I guess I can only blame myself for reading this) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DZComposer Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Well, looks like the US is going to charge him with espionage. Goodbye freedom of the press...I guess we'll get that encryption key before too long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott7 Posted December 10, 2010 Author Share Posted December 10, 2010 Well, looks like the US is going to charge him with espionage. Goodbye freedom of the press...I guess we'll get that encryption key before too long.Actually it has already been announced that even with Assange in the Brid Wikileaks is going to continue it's posting as planned, He was really only just the founder and face of it anyway.But... where did you hear that the U.S has charged him?

Sabre Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Well, looks like the US is going to charge him with espionage. Goodbye freedom of the press...I guess we'll get that encryption key before too long.That assumes there was freedom of the press in the first place. As I see it, they were always in somebodies pocket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Monroe Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Well, looks like the US is going to charge him with espionage. Goodbye freedom of the press...I guess we'll get that encryption key before too long.Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't freedom of speech have limitations in where it would be libel or treason? Not to mention Assanage isn't a United States citizen, so technically what he was doing -was- espionage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention Assanage isn't a United States citizen, so technically what he was doing -was- espionage.That is true, though He Doesn't work for any Government so I don't think it counts as official espionage not to mention He's giving this out to all country's not just the U.S.And In most Cases here in the united states, no. In other country's there definitely are freedom of speech limitation's like China And i think Russia. Though in Country's Like The United states and apparently Sweden There really isn't many.

Matrilwood Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 ^ Actually that's exactly how it was between, I think, Ireland and UK, Ireland was using "everything-piercing" ammunition (Because it literally goes through everything), so the British said they would use it if Ireland continued to. Ireland stopped using the ammo after that.Wikileaks is banned in my country because we don't believe in democracy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
