Just show up, take that exam..Bring some of your female friends. Bring all your female friends. Take a stand right now, rise up. "Bury me in the desert with my ancestors that jumped from carts because they knew death was better than bondage"

Since I am not a woman in Afghanistan, I dont need to do anything more than talk about it. That is up to them to decide their and their childrern's destiny. My ancestors rose up long ago and unshackled themselves from religious prosecution, they continue to fight today to keep their freedoms and perhaps soon my generation will rise up and unshackle themselves from their other oppressors as well.

Apparently that didn't turn you into a decent human being with empathy. You may not need to do jack shit in an amoral sense, but that's a pretty disgusting thing to take pride in in context.

You’ll need to raise the bar on choosing responses. Checked web auto feed looks like a bot. I try to respond to folks I think I might see in a bar. Take a cue from the old twix candy bar commercial and chew this over.

Religion. A continuing scourge on humankind.

Well imagine if you were a woman living in a country ruled by people who are allowed, required even, to assault and kill you if you step out of line. Also doubt your ancestors had to deal with high powered fire arms either in a landscape that doesn't provide easy escape or aid.

Taliban Bar sounds like the least fun bar ever

I’ll probably get down voted as well. I kind of think is is a bit like drug addiction or alcoholism, where they have to hit rock bottom, before they can get better. You can’t help someone unless they want help. I may be wrong, but perhaps dysfunctional cultures are like that too.

I look at this picture and wonder what’s being thought by the women.

“He’s tall like a man. He has a beard like a man. His voice sounds like a man. Yet all I see is a sad little boy that is afraid that we are learning…anything”.

so it is disgusting to take pride in the fact that I am no longer bound by religious zealotry? And it is non empathetic to say that the people being enslaved need to rise up and overthrow their oppressors..any other insights you want to lend cuz I would love to hear them.

on a side note, you have so much empathy why aren't you over in Afghanistan fighting for them? instead you are here personally insulting me. be the change you want to make, go join the fight my man.

go ahead and expound on why I am a POS..I would love to heat the logic...does it go along the lines of "I should rush over to Afghanistan and fight those peoples fight for them?" fell free to elaborate cuz there are endless people oppressed the world over and if you are thinking those lines then you should be the one fighting everyones battles the world over.

Simply because you twisted phrases from a movie and called them your own. Other than that I agree with everything you’re saying. Honestly I’m not sure why everyone downvoted your op. Maybe be original I guess. And years ago I did fight those battles, just an fyi.

Oh I see. I am POS because I put a quote up? never claimed it was my own...guess what? years ago I fought the very battle, in the very land we are referencing. I doubt very much all you keyboard warriors and people claiming 'no empathy' have done anything but whine and cry online.. You know what I still believe? that the people of their country need to rise up and solve their own problems. That outside forces cant always come in and solve it for them.

you want to try again on why someone is a POS? putting up a quote wont cut it.

Religion and faith are fine to me. It’s when there’s a centralized authority within that religion that dictates how all other followers must live and act. Religion is fine. Authorities within religion are trash and largely responsible for radicalizations within their faiths(I.e. cults).

You’re too full of yourself and need to relax just a bit. And I’m no keyboard warrior, too old and been to many places and seen too many things. Fine since your panties are in a wad, you’re not a pos. Is that better schmuckatelli? Lol! Again I wholeheartedly agree with your sentiment as well they need to stand up for themselves. We can’t keep butting in on other peoples issues especially if they don’t want us to.
