Getting back to the original OP, sorta:

Q: You know what you call a television news anchor with half a brain?

A: Gifted.

Don’t look to television for intelligent insights, in-depth reporting, or reasonable perspectives on world events.

Umm, because that is what the Taliban have said? Do you even read the papers or watch the news? The Taliban don’t think they are evil; they think they are preserving pure Islam, even though they have been told by every other Muslim nation, even Iran, that they are wrong.

Get an education, then come back and post when you actually know something.

Hey! I’m rolling on the floor on this one! Hahaha! Now I’ve got to go outside to get some air. The bullshit is too strong in here.

What exactly are you calling bullshit? Do you dispute that the Taliban are running Afghanistan on what they think is a Qu’ranic regime? Do you dispute that the misery they inflict is what they think God wants? What are you having a problem with? Yes, the Taliban are evil SOBS, but they don’t think so. Nazis and the Khmer Rouge were evil bastards, but they thought they were creating new governments and purifying their nations by killing what they thought were “undesirables”.

And yes, reading newspapers and watching the news count as education.  
Idiot.
