Person from 2010

I bet his wife being from over there had something to do with the whole thing, too. 😁

Fine! Stop being tedious. He only received two votes here and wasn't even nominated for World Athlete of the Year!

Personally, I am glad my nomination of Andre Agassi was no mistake. Not at all!

If you ask me, you couldn't have possibly messed this up any worse than you just did.☕

That works for me. I am genuinely pleased to see him standing ahead of Barack Obama. Plus, things are getting pretty tense in Cameroon!🤣🤣🤣

Well, not anymore.😁 Obama already got my vote. ☕

😁 I also support 👍Barack Obama, but he should never have allowed this kind of persecution against Julian Assange. He is finally free, yet he still lives in fear of being extradited to the very country Barack Obama leads!

This is about National Security. Obama doesn't care about him personally; what Obama cares about is how those leaks happened in the first place. If they actually caught him, he’d probably just get immunity.

In America, nobody asks Obama anything.

So what's the deal now? You guys finally get a Muslim president in the US, and somehow you're still not satisfied.😍

Julian Assange—to borrow the reasoning from Time magazine back in 1938, "for better or for worse"—I suppose I am neither convinced that Operation Wikileaks is solely his own doing, nor do I truly endorse the whole concept of "whistleblowing" as such. It seems to me that this is a phenomenon that is globally damaging, as it introduces an extra layer of distrust among people; it attempts to take what is essentially just "tattling" and turn it into some kind of positive moral category, which, in our culture, I don't believe it really is.

At the same time, though, Assange is a victim of his own work. Half the world is hunting him down, throwing ridiculous accusations his way, and he’s been backed into a corner and forced to live in constant fear—all because someone significantly more powerful than him didn't know how to, or perhaps didn't want to, protect their own confidential information.

I would certainly support the suppression of "whistleblowing," but no one is actually trying to do that. However, I cannot support the demonization of Julian Assange as some man who gave a middle finger to a superpower (unless, of course, he was manipulated into doing so). In any case, everyone is talking about him, and for better or for worse he has become a global version of a "street hero." In my opinion, he is the person by whom the year 2010 will be most remembered.
