I thought you were talking about some of the British when I read the beginning of your sentence.

Eton isn't supposed to be poor education.

An estimated 3.7 million children are out-of-school in Afghanistan – 60% of them are girls.

That's the problem with having utterly dull posters become admins.

They make utterly dull forums. I'm out.

This looks quite promising, although is probably a fairly forlorn hope:

2021-08-17 Still fighting on: Afghan vice president and the son of a dead legendary military commander rally anti-Taliban forces in last stronghold less than 100 miles from Kabul

Sort of like an Afghan King Alfred the Great, holed up in his last remaining stronghold in the Somerset levels, after the Vikings had conquered almost the whole of England, but rallying his men and winning a great battle (Edington in 878 AD) and then conquering most of the country back

We should have tapered. We have left the poor sods to a bunch of nutters.

20 years of the kids going to school it would have become a wonderful tolerant country.

It hasn't worked in the rest of the world after centuries, not sure why you think 20 years is going to create some sort of tolerant utopia (sounds awful)

My post had a mod snip for a reason and I wasn't being rude to anyone.

Is that a promise?
