  1.  @mdom0277  dude, near the entire Taliban is addicted to locally grown opium and have their own civil wars, and you think they're sincere with their thin religious BS?

  2. A lot of Afghans will attack you just for being foreign or for asking the wrong questions about their love lives, of course it's a battle royal for power in that country.

  3.  @h-h1859  I didn't act like I knew or cared for your opinion, hypocrite. So lose the silly rhetoric.

  4. It means he doesn't actually know how it will work in practice, but knows people need jobs.

  5. What makes you think the women are any different?

  6.  @miraf  not necessarily this particular madness, but participating in equally abusive practices. Like using their own kids as human shields, or ostracizing people for trumped up charges, or spreading deadly rumors, or throwing rocks at people for such crimes as being foreign.

  7.  @h-h1859  I question your education. So shut up.

  8. Some of them, yeah. You really think pirates care about Twitter storms, though?

  9.  Hisham Malik  you could literally say that about any modern Muslim and it would be equally true. And frankly, Afghanistan's systemic problems have nothing to do with religion.

  10.  @BogdanO45  don't be silly.

  11. There's no one to root for.

  12. Dude, it's the natural outcome of the battle royal for power. The commanders short change the soldiers, the soldiers extort the men, the men abuse the women, and the women neglect the children.

  13. That won't make a frickin difference. Especially since most people report their children/parents are their only real friends in that part of the world.

  14. What makes you think the women are different from the men? They just pass the abuse down the hierarchy like the rest of them.

  15.  @tamaralindsay4777  and why would I care enough about Afghans one way or the other to lie about this?

  16. It's a bunch of pirates with thin pretexts for their acts.

  17.  Peter Griffin  wut?

  18.  @h-h1859  don't project your worldview onto others

  19. Because these pirates spend most of their time getting high and extorting locals and fighting over petty offices.

  20. If you're going to spread racist libel, you should know what the truth is first in order to lie effectively.

  21. Most of the guys behind this abuse have little if anything to do with the Taliban.

  22.  @cockneycharm3970  the Taliban are no different. Neither are the women.

  23.  @JohnofthefamilySmith  don't you have a synagogue to shoot up, freak show?

  24.  @JohnofthefamilySmith  shut up, get drafted. The DS at Benning will take care if those "no u" hypocrisy fir you.

  25.  @JohnofthefamilySmith  shut up

  26. When was it not? And these guys are a lot more than misogynous.

  27. They aren't afraid of women. This is but the natural outcome of entire populations fighting for their own personal dominance. The commanders abuse the soldiers, the soldiers abuse the men, the men abuse the women, and the women abuse the children, thus continuing the cycle via learned behavior.
