World News
A community for discussing events around the World
Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

More than 30 years ago. The talibans get their support from Pakistan now.
Wonder if anything happened during those 30 years. Did the US happen to support a bunch of pedo child rapists?

Haha. So you mean that the locally elected are so ass-backwards corrupt that the Taliban seem better.
Yeah that seems about right. No wonder Afghanistan is a shit hole.
So you admit the Taliban is better than the pedos "locally elected" by the US.
Never said that. I said that the afghans chose poorly, why would they choose a pedo? And now they're stuck living under muslim theocracy. Mainly fuled by Pakistan.
If that is what they want, fine. But then they objectively live in an unfree, cruel and dysfunctional society. They can keep it.
Because they did not. The local war lords were funded, armed and chosen by the US. The US chose and armed the child raping pedos.
You keep going in circles to deny this fact. Because admitting this fact to be true destroys everything you believe in.
Oh shit, so the warlords WERE local. Thank you, thats all i needed to know.
From watching that doc, it looks as the Americans are trying to help and none was received. Like the first shot, they try to explain how hygiene works, likely cause the afghans dont know, and they just say "idiot, show how mines work". Animals. But i guess they were the only ones that wanted to fight for "freedom"
Good to know you support arming and funding pedo rapists who rape little children.
Good thing that you apparently support stoning women and publicly executing those who disagree with you.
Oops sadly I never defended that. You on the other hand...
Yeah, you kinda did.
But i guess the best option they got is murder or rape. I'd call them both detestable and disgusting, but you don't seem to have any issue with sharia. That much is obvious. And it's a bad look.
Does it feel good to know that your good book together with the Bible accounts for more pain and suffering than anything in the history of humanity?
I do not recall arguing that position. But rejoice, as most suffering in world history has taken place in the last century under the glories of atheism.
