Indeed, which is why the snake often ends up consuming its own tail. Take the so-called "Lost Generation" in Australia. The aboriginal children were taken from their families and raised as whites, which is why they are dysfunctional today. Yet when so-called "disadvantaged' groups are raised apart from whites and encouraged to retain their culture…that's why they're dysfunctional today. This is a small example of how the left remains in perpetual motion. It's not about actually accomplishing anything, but remaining in a never ending revolutionary posture that enables them to acquire status and power for themselves at the expense of the hapless "principled" types standing opposed to them.

I told you to wait patiently, since I am waiting for the religion of peace to finally do something peaceful for once.

That was my very first thought. I can't even imagine what it must be like to listen to this night after night, and know that you are not allowed to do a thing about it. That has to mess with their minds.

These people rape goats, dogs, little boys, little girls, women....why are we there again? These people are sick, disgusting, and to hell with them all. It's time for us to leave. It's time for the people of that country to stand up and do something about it. No more of our soldiers over there.

Instead of this country talking about how, "it will take 25 years to come up with an alternative to foreign oil", how about the politicians shut up and start doing.

Another unfortunate thing is just how very unequal things are in the world. As a random example, the folks who make our beloved iPhones in those factories now have to take anti-suicide pledges. Apple sure as hell won't do anything to improve their work conditions. Apple gets about $400 profit per iPhone, and doesn't want anything to cut into that. Yet, many Americans are buying these such electronics from them, and many other manufacturers without much of an afterthought.


I'm certainly thankful for everything I have.

Now it seems we don't even control that, so what's the point? Bring our military home and make sure none of these a-holes can claim asylum and come to the U.S. when their countries fall apart after we leave.
It is illegal in Afghanistan. It's not a "culture" issue, it's a criminal issue. It is illegal. The Taliban stopped it, but once they were gone, these pukes decided to start doing it again. It doesn't make it legal, it is still illegal, Katygirl has it right.

The problem is, cops who should be protecting these boys are not. If you watch the documentary that was linked back at the beginning of this thread in one of the first few pages, (if you can stomach it...I've made it to part 3 and I'm ready to puke), it will become very clear to you WHY the cops do not stop it.

Reminds me of that awesome movie with Sean Connery and Michael Caine " The Man Who Would Be King". They help a petty warlord( and then supplant him \) conquer his enemies and the region in what is today Afghanistan. The warlord offers up his daughters to them which they decline having swore an oath to abstain from sexual activity until they succeeded in looting the country. He then offers up his sons to them if that is what they like. That movie was set almost 150 years ago but the country hasn't changed. Its probably gone backwards, if anything.

Yes, sickening.....but we can't do anything to stop it. Its what they want, its their culture, otherwise, such practices wouldn't had developed and survived in the first place. If we tried to stop it, we might save a few here and there, but the very victims and their families would be the ones to protest it. They want to live that way, or they wouldn't be doing it. You can't change the whole world to your way of thinking!

The article is old, but it reports that village elders were reporting the pederasty, and not tolerant of it. They wanted USA forces to do something about it.

If the village elders are not accepting of this, then how do we assume is a cultural norm? Or do these village elders have their own child prostitutes from another village, and are only concerned with their own children?

Something tells me, if we put an end to the pederasty, we can gain better relations with the actual villagers, and that helps with our efforts more than paying trillions of dollars to warlords who dont really do what we tell them.

let me refresh your memory.....another one of Obama's lies....

According to this chart, there were about 30,000 troops in Afghanistan when Obama took office.

this type of thing is not uncommon in some countries. Heck remember a few years ago talking about how rich Arabs would "marry" very young girls to take their virginity then divorce them. They would do this over and over again. The poor girls would then be operated on to restore their "virginity" and be sold again. There are many places in the World were humans, especially young women have little value. As much as it is disgusting we cannot change this, certainly not by force of arms. We need to get out and let them go back to killing each other.
