POLL: How long does Julian Assange have to live?

Assange is 39. Life expectancy at birth for an Australian man is something like 78. So I'd say he has about 39 more years, give or take.

No, I would not like to donate to his "cause."

A long time, if he winds up in Supermax.

1) 3+ months, living off the $$$ of misguided folks.

2) No.

I'm probably okay with 90% of the stuff they've released, but the recent release of the list of locations critical to the U.S. and the world serves no noble purpose. He seems like a character from an Ayn Rand novel.

I'd say 3 plus months and no I would not donate to wiki-leaks

I should have said this in my first post, but by asking what we think his life expectancy is, I'm guessing you are suggesting that some government might assassinate him. I don't think that will happen. The US won't do it because it would be bad for PR. I don't think any other country cares enough about him to do it.

Actually William Gibson made him up.

I agree, the diplomatic stuff wasn't that big a deal, but the latest serves no other purpose than anarchy. I wonder what it's like to have pretty much every government in the world out to cap your a$$. That's probably why he surrendered to the Brits.

I dont think it is a stretch at say that he is a target for a lot of entities. His family and lawyers have received numerous death threats in the past week alone. He is a polarizing figure, obviously you understand that.

I wouldn't monetarily support him, but I support what he's doing. Anybody that exposes the governments for the corrupt entities they are to the people they govern is a good thing. I'd like to see him as a sort of new Revolutionary War hero.

I understand that he's a polarizing figure, I just don't think he is going to get assassinated. As far as the death threats, I seriously doubt that the CIA or the Mossad or whoever gives a courtesy call before taking someone out.

When the attention level quiets down and stay low for a few weeks to a month, Assange will be executed like Bantu Steven Biko. Assange will then forever become a martyr to freedom and democracy like Dr Martin Luther King, John Brown, Malcolm X, Ho Chi Minh, Bantu Steven Biko. Tens of Thousands of engineers will emulate Assange and form their own internet efforts to spread freedom and democracy across the globe. Thousands of insiders inside the facist regimes of the United States, Israel, China, Iran, Cuba, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, North Korea, etc. will be inspired to released details of their regime's crimes against humanity. I think the Gods (or God) wants freedom and democracy for all mankind or no tyrannical gov't will be able to stop the will of the Gods (or God).

But what about remaining life expectancy at 39 years old? Surely it is notably higher than 39.

A little more realism please wrote:

I thought about that but just didn't care to make the effort to look it up. Just assume that is included under "give or take."

Try this.

yes

Why would you joke about such a thing?

it is called "conditional life expectancy". JA is a hot candidate for the 2011 Nobel piece prize.

I hope the net effect of Manning's and Assange's herosim will be fundamental changes to US Government foreign policy and transparency. The most important of which will be new legislation forbidding the US Government, corporations, inhabitants, CIA, State Department, Pentagon, etc. from providing economic aid, military aid, or intelligence, to any nation or group which refuses to sign the US Bill of Rights and International Human Rights Laws, and to enforce and live by them for EVERY inhabitant within its borders.

The actions of the U.S. in the past would suggest that signing agreements does not necessarily mean abiding by them.

We must have a Foreign Policy Amendment added to the US Constitution which will mandate that Human Rights be Adhered to for all inhabitants by the US Gov't and Foreign recipient of US financial aid, military aid, economic aid, or intelligence. No longer will the US Govt be able to finance facism, apartheif, zionism, racism, and genocide in foreign lands.
