I probably could have been a little less wordy. I have a feeling the regulars in hear start to run when they see one of my longer rants or explanations.
I on the other hand, revel in a well thought out piss-a-thon rather a juvenile spat of a 1-2 sentence cryptic smartass ism.
Bah look at what happens when I start drooling for long periods of time? Everyone leaves the forum :P

I still read! Sometimes you're so thorough I simply have nothing to reply... yeah I know, Russ with no comment? Say it isn't so...
And how the hell did I get away with using the wrong "here"!?!

Well then you're simply trying to be divisive and argumentative to get the focus off Assange it seems, why? Not sure but clear you don't want to pay attention to the facts at hand. Show me credible legally accepted definition where "Sexual Assault" does not include rape. Given the link i provided earlier where a women is saying she was raped in my other post it is clear the intent of the charges are concerning rape. 6 or half dozen rape is considered sexual assault. Common people might way say rape, but the legal terminology in court would be sexual assault, rape is only one thing of many things that might be considered sexual assault. Or if you wish, he is being sought for sexual assault because he raped some women. Same difference.
Might want to consider this:
Quote:
"But the emotional trauma can be worse than any physical injury. The lives of women who are raped are forever changed. Victims say they will never be the same, that it feels like dying. Even if they have not been physically harmed, women who have been sexually assaulted often suffer from long-term psychological and physical health problems."
Seems cruel to take something which should be pleasurable for a person away to make it traumatizing, hell i know enough women if i want to get laid i can call and they would willingly do it.
