Julian Assange was arrested on rape charges of women who wanted to have sex with him. They have sex and after they say Julian raped them. Ludicrous haha USA, the land of the free and the home of the brave lol

XBrain - Swedish law is rather more complicated and allows for the details of the act to be a part of the consent. Therefore, as the one girl wished that a contraceptive be used but the suspect is alleged to have declined at the last minute but carried on anyway - that, in Swedish law negates the consent and the act becomes rape.

Rather more tortuous than British law, but it's up to the Swedes (not Turnips, Think!)

Putin is little more than an ex-KGB thug with little regard for democracy and a yearning for power. In other words ... he's Russian!

No idea what you're talking about Think.

I love the exponential evolution possibilities that internet has created to shake all those old conservative minds subduing dissent either by accusations of paranoia or by dragging individuals during years through the legal system under fabricated accusations.

More facts about Vladimir:

Putin just visited the British Virgin Islands………. They are now the British Islands.

Putin plays Russian roulette with a fully loaded revolver ...................... and wins.

If it looks like chicken, tastes like chicken, and feels like chicken but Putin says it’s beef,......................................................... then it's f**king beef.
