Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Imagine looking around that classroom and thinking "All is right with this".

Not just "all is right". They see this and think "this is what God wants."

I especially like that guy in the back. That could be the teacher, but I guess that it's someone who observes that the God is feared enough and nothing disallowed happens.

Makes me wonder how one makes such career choices, too

"Welp, time to suck off the people who put me in this position!"

I'm pretty sure that's against the teachings of Islam.

They must thank Allah every day for America's Oligarchy gifting the military industrial complex trillions of dollars of tax payer money, and occupying their country for decades, to end up stuck in the same prison as their parents... Instead of the darkest timeline — universal healthcare and climate action!

At least it was a chance. We certainly fucked up in Afghanistan but it's not like the Taliban came back from nowhere.

People act like the Afghani army that the US spent years trying to rebuild didn't just up and run away.
