[QUOTE=Pretiacruento;27354274]Nice snip you've done there, bud... you still fail, though.[/QUOTE]
I didn't snip, I was editing my post as you were posting, bro. Your point is massively flawed because history from that long ago is not reliable and I think you'll find that there would of been things hidden from the public. I imagine if people spoke out about any scandals then they'd be locked away without the key.
[QUOTE=Pretiacruento;27353183]Y'know, long time ago, a guy had a way of seeing things somewhat similar to Julian (as a matter of fact, Julian's pretty much ripping him off). A guy who considered honesty and truth as _Really_ important values (mainly because [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asha]his religion demanded it[/url]), just like you americans think "freedom" is something important...
it was Xerxes's father, [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darius_I_of_Persia#CITEREFShahbazi]Darius The Great[/url]. He established a wave of [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darius_I_of_Persia#Organization]government reforms[/url] to combat corruption on a scale that half of the governments today don't bother with. With all the various regions of the empire under the control of local governors, Darius started a system of royal inspectors/hall-monitors so that no one guy could let his own douchebaggery run wild.
Of course, Julian may or may not have the political power Darius had back then, but they both share some of the same principles, [b]honesty and truth[/b].

My point is, [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Achaemenid_Empire#Formation_and_expansion_of_the_empire]it is possible to live in a civilization where truth and honesty are paramount values[/url].[/QUOTE]
Incredible post. His predecessor Cyrus the Great had his subjects write up the first Human Rights bill.

Quit calling people in this thread Liberals. It has nothing to do with the topic on-hand and makes you look like a complete fuckwit. :colbert:

No, you realized your mistake and edited it with three sentences of information, ending with a crescendo of stupidity.

Thanks ;D
I'm tellin' ya, the persians were by far the most awesome civilization ever... I mean, they were so damn serious about the whole Truth and Honesty thing, [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Achaemenid_Empire#Culture]lying could get you the death penalty in some cases[/url] :v:

[I]the most disgraceful thing in the world [the Perses] think, is to tell a lie; the next worst, to owe a debt: because, among other reasons, the debtor is obliged to tell lies.[/I]
If he gets the chair the world will be up in arms, I doubt they'll actually do it.

Yep, the thousands of golden years and then that fuck Alexander the Bastard kills his father, burn Persepolis and steals camel load, upon camel load of gold and stolen knowledge and takes it back to Greece. What a piece of shit. And then you see how Greece gets all of the credit for words contributing to the English language and the naming of things and how the 'Greek philosophers' did a whole bunch of stuff. And now you know why, because they raped the Persian empire for every bit of knowledge they had.
Also; they frowned upon the lending of money as the person giving out the money would usually put obscene interest rates on it and get all his money back without doing any work.
Anyone who is defending Wikileaks needs to learn that there is no such thing as a perfect government. Everyone and everything has its secrets that should never be revealed.
but the thing is that the US is not Persia, and it's not 500 BC

As soon as someone argued against you you immediately assumed them Liberal. You've done it [i]three times now[/i]. Just stop.

Liberalism is what Wikileaks is all about, idiot. The search for justice and truth with a reckless regard for world politics and relations.
He's also a rapist.

Of course you'll receive more than you give out, you've turned the thread against you.
Also, coming in saying:
[QUOTE=xX-DeStRoYeR-Xx;27351972]Good! Assange is a wanker and bastardized free speech.
He also rapes women.[/QUOTE]

My opinion differs from most people's in this thread, no shit that's going to make me unpopular with fourteen year old wannabe hippies.
This just makes the US look like even bigger arseholes
[QUOTE=cathal6606;27354988]This just makes the US look like even bigger arseholes[/QUOTE]
Read the news story please, Assange isn't going to "face US death penalty" (despite him deserving it), he's just extremely paranoid and starpluck is basically the Facepunch equivalent of a tabloid.

Yeah, I realize that... re-read my previous posts ¬¬

deal with it

Did you also notice how Persia is the bad guy in 300? Sparta is where it's at.

Nah, I'm an opinionated lurker who's grown tired of not posting. My other account was made using my hotmail account so I never got the email.
I'm certainly not a lefty. I especially hate people who think communism works because it really doesn't.
