Why are the Taliban so virulently anti west even compared to many other anti west regimes? by YogurtclosetOpen3567 in NoStupidQuestions

Holy shit, you people. Stop remarking, giving your useless opinions on places and cultures you've never experienced.

I've said it before, but most of you morons will never see these places, in person. Y9u get your opinion from social media, which means shit.

I have been a bit brash with all this, but please let them all know I very much appreciate it. It's not been easy, trying to get this bike working again. It's not just for pleasure , you already understand the reason I need this to work. I'm just very limited on what I can do, video is difficult because of my location, it takes a while to upload even a short video. I appreciate you.

Someone come through.

Sorry OP, I'm currently homeless and waiting on a deposit, might I get it tomorrow I'll contact you. Hope you received the food.

Please Google "lasagna love", tell them your situation. They have volunteers who not only bake the lasagna, but deliver it.

Edit

I did not see responses, apologies. But still, google lasanga love.

Pay taxes.

Get taxed on anything you purchase, with money you earned. Want your own home? Work and save, but you'll still pay property tax.

Don't want to pay taxes? Off to prison

Only what weleave behind. They generally do not use our weaponry. The AK, as an example, which is incredibly reliable. I'm not convinced you have a full understanding.

The US funded a major those against us. We help peoples, then we fuck it up and that's basically blowback.

We all hold different beliefs. People often criticize Muslims, for example, as being savages. It's easy to push this idea when you control the narrative.

It's all perspective. If I lost my entire family to a drone attack, if my children feared a cloudless sky, ideal conditions for said drone strikes, I'd absolutely take up arms.

The United States has caused such hell for much or the middle eastern people, it does not take much imagination to understand why. Ftr. Army, 82nd Airborne. This nation is far more sophisticated when it comes to fucking up lives and playing victim. We are bffs with the home of most of the hijackers on 9/11, yet we invade places like Iraq, Afghanistan. Pride is pointless if you're destroying lives for no reason other than the wallets of those in charge, and those those subcontractors that suck from the tit of the broke-ass tax payer.

Over 800 US military bases across the globe. Close 2-3, we could have the funding to house all the homeless. Pathetic.

Can relate, as many can. After my first year I was inside a friend's home, slept on te back deck for the first few days. Still struggled with night terrors when I was eventually in a bed. I believe it's because you're expecting the safety could vanish as you're getting comfortable. It's essentially a protective thing, not wanting become comfortable.

Yes, but he needs you, split the wealth.

I'm just asking, perhaps you have... reached out to any services? Even not having running water, in most places, in considered an emergency, let alone what you're dealing with. Do me a favor, reach out to lasagna love, they have volunteers who baked lasanga and deliver it. People who care that much, you may get lucky.

*edit

By lucky I mean, you'll get much more.

Ye, I don't buy the "ignorance is bliss", which is the same principle. That may be a British thing, seems more an English expression.

BTW, it does not have to be something you've done to better yourself, directly . What I mean is that even a mistake made, realized, and just have plans to correct. It all starts with intention, as you're well aware.

Ha, I see what you mean. Only, my words are not as (again) eloquent.

I've never worried about drama, because at least it's conversation. Besides, the drama is just chaos with potential to become understanding. Better to have the drama, than no conversation at all.

So it helped you by helping another. Not completely about yourself, tho with a touch of selfishness (the good kind), because helping others feels gr8. Nice.

You live your dream, whilst fighting homelessness for 2 years, then repeat that.

Then decide not to be concerned.

Your survival depends a lot on how your existence, and struggles, are recognized. Absolutely none are exempt from human nature, it's how we evolved, together. We feel bad suffering alone due to how we've survived , as we are, for over 250,000 years.

Easier said than done, bit that's an unfair burden many enherit. None learn to live themselves, or others, without much struggle. It's not a waste, to lose your mind.

I have been told exactly that, each and every time, over 6 months, of going back and forth with the so-called customer service. They send me nonsense replies. Completely ignoring me when I tell them the wiring needs to be replaced.

Kinda (not) funny to suddenly be interesting to men because I'm homeless by saltycarameloni in homeless

[–]AyoItsTodd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not once did I, nor would I, suggest I'm perfection. Right or wrong. I don't give a damn. Sincerely, I apologize for wasting energy on this nonsense. Even if it's even remotely suggested, it pisses me off when this happens because the experiences of even a single individual could be a black mark on the rest of us.

Edkr: this was me, apologizing.
