@Snowden reminded me of Evelyn Beatrice Hall's phrase "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it"

@villamizar@Snowden I used to think it was Voltaire himself who wrote this. -
@godlesscortex@Snowden she wrote it as a way to explain Voltaire's ideas. But it's not his phrase.

@Snowden What about the human rights of the WOMEN? This is a shocking endorsement of misogyny and celebrity hubris.#ridiculous#Assange -
@SandraEckersley This is about refoulement and someone having to avoid doing what will eventuate in that IMO. UN fair call.@Snowden -
@Bukumbooee@Snowden Rubbish. UN call is a mockery to justice.#Assange has spent FIVE YEARS lying about real facts. http://www.onlineopinion.com.au/view.asp?article=17188 … -
@SandraEckersley Process/progress of Swedish justice is an indictment on Sweden that insisst he places himself at risk to progress@Snowden -
@Bukumbooee@Snowden The facts speak for themselves.#Assange has manipulated due process to grandstand. http://www.onlineopinion.com.au/view.asp?article=17188 … -
@SandraEckersley Yes I'm aware of tht opinion, but has no bearing on content & importance of UN detern re detention & refoulement.@Snowden -
@Bukumbooee@Snowden Maybe the women should apply now to UN for validation of their suffering during this process? They'd win too.#Assange -
@SandraEckersley I'm not sure if that's a dig, but I think we're both concerned re injustices. But ur arguing apples v oranges@Snowden - 24 more replies

@Snowden So would you argue whether a murderer should still be protected under human rights laws when another humans rights have been taken? -
-
@DaveMacfadyen why should somebody who has displayed animal like barbaric behaviour be treated with the same level of human compassion? -
@HarryyyD What stops a powerful person who disagrees with you from deciding *you* are an animal undeserving of rights? Answer: Human rights. -
@tegeran but who decides who is a powerful person? A human with bad moral judgement? -
@HarryyyD The right question is "Who decides who has rights?". Absent strict enforcement, the answer *is* "A human with bad moral judgement" -
@tegeran hypothetically, in that case, would you like a judge to show someone compassion and human dignity to someone who took that 1/2 -
@HarryyyD You said they were a barbaric animal, they don't have rights. No rights means no judge and no trial. - 12 more replies
