Another Afghan School Poisoned — 160 Girls Hospitalized
An anonymous reader writes "Back in April, we discussed news of an anti-education attack on an Afghani school, which poisoned 150 Afghan schoolgirls. Now, a hospital in the same province has admitted 160 more girls who seem to have suffered a similar attack. 'Their classrooms might have been sprayed with a toxic material before the girls entered, police spokesman Khalilullah Aseer said. He blamed the Taliban. The incident, the second in a week's time, was reported at the Aahan Dara Girls School in Taluqan, the provincial capital. The girls, ages 10 to 20, complained of headaches, dizziness and vomiting before being taken to the hospital, said Hafizullah Safi, director of the provincial health department. More than half of them were discharged within a few hours of receiving treatment, Safi said. The health department collected blood samples and sent them to Kabul for testing.'"
How is one culture supposed to judge another culture? Everything is relative...
Until you actually get told otherwise by your conscience.
Except for ending slavery, the Nazis, communism, & securing American independence, war has never solved anything.
This is what happens when too many people believe too literally in 1000 year old witch craft.
And this is exactly where the US could be heading if the current 50% of the population gets any stronger. Rick Santorum was as scary to the US as Hitler was to Germany. If we let nutcases like that become president, which a large number of people supported, this will be common in the US as well.
Let's break down your logic:
Islamists poison schoolgirls, therefor, if Santorum were elected, he'd be like Hitler and lead the US to a 1938 style of Fascism.
Did I get it right?
The hatred is strong in this one. It has clouded his logic.
There is no "I disagree" mod for a reason. Flamebait, Troll, and Overrated are not substitutes.
We entered because the Axis attacked us.
Here's a hint: USA didn't save the world from the Nazis. They just shortened the war.
Religious folks (like myself) will appeal to a higher standard
Yeah, the one that tells you to kill anyone who works on the sabbath and not wear clothing made of two different fibers? Some standard.
Also, I think you're confusing "higher" with "imaginary."
