Do you think what we are seeing are moles coming out, and are acting like they are captured,pleading for freedom ,
but secretly plotting to get more Gitmo detainees's free? This mf shit stain in the news is prime example, he offered intel, and ultimately himself as a way for the Taliban to have negotiating power. Why were these bitches in Afghanistan anyways? Just going to see the sights? Nah, these fucks are working to get more detainees free...
Just like the idiots a few years ago that were "hiking and sightseeing" on the Iranian border.
Riiigghhtt!
To be fair, there's a huge amount of ancient historical sites/ruins in that area. Really cool stuff if you're into pre-contemporary history.Quote:

Afghanistan used to be quite a tourist destination... But that was before I was born, and anyone who knew about this has forgotten with over 30 years of that country being at war. It would be like in late 1944 going "Hey honey, let's do Christmas in the Ardennes!" [facepalm]
Think of all the Lugers and Walthers souvenirs you coulda wheeled & dealed for!Quote:

Except that was one of the coldest winters on record for the region that year... Why Afghanistan? I've been there, it's a total shithole, and around this time of year some places get up to 130!Quote:

The current couple went missing in 2012.. it is likely that for whatever reason their people here can't raise the money to get them released and now the family is taking it public.
Half the forum will side with "It's not the couples' fault for making a poor choice to travel to Afghanistan." (The-victim-is-never-responsible side) vs. me and the other half of the forum: "You traveled to Afghanistan- what did you think would happen?" (The-poor-choices-can/will-result-in-bad-outcomes side)
I tend to side with your views and have regularly been flamed on other boards for it. Guess I am just not PC enough. Oh well.Quote:

I'm not sure where you're getting a 50/50 split. I can see nynco and his ilk making the first statement but that's hardly 50% of the forum. I think vast majority of us on this particular forum would quote Forrest Gump, "stupid is as stupid does," and press on with our own lives.Quote:

There would be no more violence and aggression. Just one long hand holding kumbaya session.
I'm old enough to still remember when Mexico was a good tourist destination.Quote:

Speaking of once-great countries, Iran before the revolution seemed like it was quite the destination. Gorgeous Persian women, strong educational institutions, and a stable economy.

So you started by ignoring 91 of 163 responses? What are you, a climatologist? [fail]Quote:

That idiocy doesn't even deserve a response.
