Mastercard is the card of choice for employment benefits, child support payments, and other government payment programs the nation over. It's not surprising to see them capitulating to the government that helps them make so much money.
I'm reasonably sure he means that private institutions aren't held to the same Constitutional standards as government institutions. You can tell by the way that the entire post is about a Constitutional amendment that only applies to our government, and not private citizens, companies, or institutions.
Anyone who visits a free porn site knows that there's some kind of tracking going on, but the other sites don't have that whole 'Hey, I'm a porn site.' excuse. :P
Oh, it also helps to know that the Swedish legal term 'sexual molestation' is apparently more like the American legal term 'sexual harassment'. So... Yeah.
A senior Swedish prosecutor reopened a rape investigation against WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange on Wednesday, the latest twist to a puzzling case in which prosecutors of different ranks have overruled each other.
Investigators have not released details about either case, though a police report obtained by the AP shows both women had met Assange in connection with a seminar he gave in Stockholm on Aug. 14. The report shows the women filed their complaints together six days later.
Wikileaks made headlines around the world July 25 when it released tens of thousands of pages of secret U.S. documents about Afghanistan.
Assange is seeking legal protection for WikiLeaks in Sweden, one of the countries where the group says it has servers. The Swedish Migration Board has confirmed that Assange has applied for a work and residence permit in the Scandinavian country.
Here's an old HuffPo article about the initial rape case.
A Stockholm prosecutor issued the arrest warrant on Friday, saying Assange was suspected of rape and molestation in two separate cases. But chief prosecutor Eva Finne withdrew the warrant within 24 hours.
"I don't think there is reason to suspect that he has committed rape," Finne said in a brief statement.
Assange was in Sweden partly to apply for a publishing certificate to make sure the website, which has servers in Sweden, can take full advantage of Swedish laws protecting whistle-blowers.
He also spoke at a seminar hosted by the Christian faction of the opposition Social Democratic party and announced he would write bimonthly columns for a left-wing Swedish newspaper.
If someone says no, or stop, you stop. Period. It doesn't matter what you're doing, or what gender you are. You stop.
Once you've stopped, and are physically unattached to your partner, then it's appropriate to discuss it.
As for the minutia of the claim, there were a ton of details at the time, but it was dismissed by a Swedish judge a while back, so the fervor died down.
Yes, refusing to stop does, in fact, turn it into rape.
If it happened.
Which I doubt, since he was tailed the entire time he was there, and he was speaking at the conference he was there for when the rape supposedly occurred.
That's why a judge originally dismissed the charges.

Probably, only one or two people got it wrong. Maybe only one. Everyone else just quoted the first idiot, instead of checking for themselves.
MSM Fail.
