Does it matter who reports it? Would you rather it was hidden? :/

Yeah it makes those Pakistani/Afghani's look bad (too light a word, I know) but at the same time we are able to see whats going on too...

I've heard a similar line before.

"Yes, I know a taliban spokesman told people to avoid the markets, yes I know that then there was a suicide bomb attack on the market a few days later,but the taliban are mujahideen! they wouldn't do that! and you cant throw blame around without proof. Where is yout proof? if you dont have any, then dont blame the taliban. I blame Isreal/India/USA!"

Don't be silly. It doesn't matter what more there was to this, what they made the kids do is just...I HAVE NO WORDS FOR IT!

What possible scenario attached to the above 'picture' could possible justify this? None.

I don't even know what to say to that.

Tell me what you thought when you saw that vid.

And you DID make *some sort of* judgement, no way that you didn't.

Its not that bad.

I'm not genderist, (well, since I actually said that, I probably am) but I suspect that women will be more apalled by the video.

The BBC video article however suggests that the video may not be as innocent as it seems - it may be a recruiting tool where the games are used to indoctrinate kids... the video also mentions how kids have been used in real suicide bombings.

On the other hand, it may just be a few bored kids reliving what they see in the world around them and reenacting it artistically.

I thought it was the latter at first - and thats still worrying and sad and shocking! No child should be playing such games, its unbelievable to even think its so normal to them and they have made it into a play thing :/ 🙁

[quote=Ocean][quote=Foysol89]HAHAHAH haven't even seen the vid yet. just saw the title and the article.[/quote]
well here's a a bit of advice, watch or read before you reply... :roll:

I know you're a clever boy, should have done that without me having to remind you![/quote]

Probably should have but chose not to as i presumed it's the usual report which over exaggerates minor things and make it out to be something its not. Got the gist of it anyway, nothing to be shocked about in my opinion and these reports are always biased.

I miss the days when news was just news not peoples opinions, its supposed let you decide what you think but now they decide what you should think.

Dont read too much into this, just my opinion

i havent seen the vid but from the title of it, is it really any different from American kids playing cowboys and indians? Double standards and hypocrisy all over, they should clean their own backyard first.
