More of these, please.

That is a completely asinine line of thought. Do you think every German citizen should have been put on trial for their leaders actions in WW2? Should you be put to death for the atrocities that the dutch visited upon the natives of the Congo and Indonesia since you were a member of the same nation as those men? Should you be denigrated and stand before a court for your soldiers actions at Srebrenica? They are also citizens of the Netherlands?

I think you know how foolish what you said was, I also think you don't care because you hate religion so much.

I have no respect for them there's a difference. About Sebrenica, feel free examine it it's much more complicated then you think. Dutch troops certainly weren't all that eager but there was a reason for that. Maybe Brenus can fill you in on things he was there.

Maybe the church will reconsider some of the inappropriate alter boy outfits they have these boys wear. If you consider both sides of the story, some might argue that the victims were asking for it. The best outfit I think for alter boys to wear in the future in order to turn-off priests from assaulting them is perhaps something that makes the boy look like a female.

This might backfire as well...

I like the story of how there is a "rise" in dancing boys. That crap has been going on over there for so long, hidden behind closed doors, I would imagine the child sexual abuse over there is an absolute pandemic, we just don't ever hear about it because it is a closed society and they have differing definitions of immoral behavior, i.e. the guys who rape the boys don't consider themselves homosexuals. This gives me a good idea for a depressing thread

Frontline did an entire episode about the dancing boys. Took me weeks to stop hating humanity after watching it.

Still kinda ashamed of my species.

It is not uncommon for an ANP, ANA, ABP or AUP compound to have, amongst its contigency of guards and civil servant, uniformed teenage boys who do not carry weapons and serve as handmaidens of sorts, cleaning weapons and serving chai.

We called them chai boys. They were typically teenage boys with fair skin, feminine features and small statures. Many of them wore eye liner and had painted fingernails. Rumor was that most of them used to be dancing boys. Rumor also had it that young men who were not fit for duty but wanted to join the force (or perhaps were singled out as being pretty) were basically put in a quid pro quo situation where the only way they could join "the force" was to service those in charge and prove their worth.

The ANP chief in the Sayeed Kareem district of Paktya said that his predecessor would allow his officers younger brothers to join the team after bringing the boys to a party and gang raping them. We were talking about this because he was pointing out some of his less effective, problem soldiers, and he explained that they were former chai boys and he could not bring himself to fire them because they had no where else to go, so he used them as second line defenses in district centers.

Well the Greeks are unemployed maybe they can turn the Chai soldiers into Spartans...
