Looks quite old. Some scenes have a date of 2011.
I wonder if the documentary about the Afghan chieftains who keep catamites is on Youtube - that was a piece of luvvie outrage a few years ago
And here's news of what can be arranged through 7-11 - http://www.nationmultimedia.com/deta...gnews/30351235
Any documentary that comes with a salacious voice over, or is loaded with claims for which no good evidence is provided - is usually total crap..
I teach US military officer. Most of them have had tours in Afghanistan. I overheard them talking about the child sex culture in Afghanistan. These are tough guys who have seen combat. Some of them said one of the hardest things they experienced was seeing Afghanistan officials with very young boys 8-15 Years old as sex slaves. One related how they could hear the boys being raped at night by the Afghanistan officials stationed on the USA base. It eventually was publicized and Afghanistan officials raped the boys off base.
So maybe outrage is appropriate.
Possibly a pinch of salt. Possibly true. I tend towards it being true but I do not know.
The guys I teach are generally no bullshxt guys. They are combat veterans who generally do not engage in drama. They were discussing the issue amongst themselves and I overheard it and sat down and listened.
Well, Kittyboy, it must have been a large audience you were part of - given the same story has been all over the internet for at least 2 years.
I'm not accusing you of lying - it just seems to me that it's a well-known story that has been doing the rounds for a considerable time and may have grown arms and legs with the passage of time - a bit like Hitler having one ball - and the sort of thing that military types would bandy about to disparage their enemies or even their unwelcome allies!
No it was in a classroom. I teach graduate classes to USA army officers. As I said it was a private conversation between army officers. I overheard and sat down and listened.
I suspect the experiences they related to each other are true.
I suspect that child prostitution happens in Afghanistan . How prevalent it is? I have no idea.
I suspect it happens in every country in the world, don't you?
I suspect it does exist in every country.
It sounds like child prostitution is more widespread and socially accepted in Afghanistan. I do not know. I have never been to Afghanistan. I suspect the UN or some other international organization tracks human trafficking. Which might give insights into the frequency of child prostitution in Afghanistan
I hope they condemned this too:

Really? Are people still discussing the Stanford experiment? It has been widely debunked for unscientific practices, secret instructions to some participants ( esp. the guards ) and when scientific method is deployed no researcher has been able to duplicate the results. So, to what end?
I don't know if they would condemn the behavior as it has not come up in classroom discussion.
The officers I teach are professional soldiers with a strong sense of duty and honor. People might laugh at that (I was sceptical of them and their values before I started teaching them). I would guess they would condemn what you have posted.
The noble Brutus
Hath told you Caesar was ambitious:
If it were so, it was a grievous fault,
And grievously hath Caesar answer’d it.
Here, under leave of Brutus and the rest–
For Brutus is an honourable man;
So are they all, all honourable men.
Julius Caesar, Act 3, Scene 2 (as spoken by Mark Anthony)
I am sure they would be. They lost the power struggle resulting from the assassination so they probably would be thrilled with the statement.
Sold or not. Rome did not end up with a series of philosopher kings ala Plato. Rome ended up with a dictatorship that lasted 450+ years. Maybe it was the better form of government for Rome.
"You overstate your argument against the Stanford prison experiment.
I use it in class to discuss group identity and social identity theory. Social identity theory is one of the cornerstones of understanding human interactions."
Come now Kittyboy, it has been thoroughly debunked. However, your response as to the way you use it is spot on and I agree.
Pakistani bus drivers too, apparently.
The ones in Pakistan I mean
:D
