1. Well, YouTube is a big time waster around the office. nt

2. My guess the government is pre-emptively trying to limit viewing of

"Innocence of Muslims".

3. and what are we supposed to do about that? I got it. Let's get the fuck out of Afghanistan. Oh,

wait, that is exactly what we are trying to do, clean up the mess that the repukes left

4. Stay strong Afghanistan

you've been remarkably resilient to new ideas, independent thought, culture, progress, civilization, tolerance, freedom, and human rights so far.

Don't bend now just so you can also watch adorable videos of cats falling asleep.

/and yes they are adorable. That's how shaitan tempts the faithful.

6. I am very tempted to suggest that a huge wall be built

around Afghanistan. That place is the anus mundi. They will still be primitive as hell three hundred years from now if humanity survives that long.

9. Sadly I think you are right

My heart breaks for the woman who have the horrible luck to be born there.

7. Isn't building democracies fun?

8. As much as many hoped Afghanistan would change

It hasn't.

The zealots are still in charge.

The biggest losers in the whole mess that has been the last few decades there are the women.

10. Quite a few great non-believer Quran scholars on Youtube critiquing it.

So this really isn't unexpected. Very sad for freedom of speech in Afghanistan.

Closing the forum to only agreeing views, good for propagation of any belief system, bad for just about everything else.

11. Syria is much more free than Afghanistan.

Something to think about...

12. I agree, fundies don't deserve the Internet..

That's part of my plan as well-
