[QUOTE="F1_2004"] well that is purely conjecture now, isnt it? aside from the fact that i find it a ridiculous idea that a country of religious muslims would rise up against their muslim leaders and do something that has been declared anti muslim, there is still the fact that the ban in 2000 cut down on opium so quickly and effectively and stuck until the usa came in, which would not have happened had there been much public unrest. also, like i already said, americans would never agree to burn billions of dollars. and lets not forget that, in the worst case scenario, the country would have taken several years to go back on its muslim leaders and bring opium production back to normal, and with 100,000 deaths per year that is several hundreds of thousands of lives spared. regardless ofwhat you think about heroin addicts, the us war resulted in the death of many, many people.F1_2004

Dont confuse the Taliban with the people of afghanistan. The Taliban oppressed them and forced them to stop doing the only thing that was profitable. If the US invasion seems to conicide with the ban of opium culture maybe it was to prevent a full blown revolution. Blood would have been spilled. Most muslums hate the Taliban. Its a extremist mouvement born through the hardships of war. It fails most values of the religion.

The war caused strife and desperation so that the Taliban needed opium trade to fuel their efforts. They are responsible for the heroin traded around the world. Besides why would the American gouvernment get their own people addicted to heroin? Its not profitable to lose part of the work force and invest in drug rehab. If they want to be international drug dealers they get the Afghans or Iraqi addicted. Who would know its under military occupation

I meant opressing by stoping women from going to school. Beating women, killing them. The example of battery acid goes

Chrome happens to be worst than Firefox. Its running on about 120mbs while Firefox used 90. Its a little sluggish on one tab. I'll try Opera

Even when Chrome is using more RAM than FF it still loads pages faster. Normally... :P

Opera is definitely worth a try though.

Yeah I know but it sluggish at quickly scrolling. I'm liking Opera

Afghan opium is a a $65 billion market, and is far more than what the US needs for painkillers. You're suggesting the US sink a major part of its budget on buying out opium for the greater good of mankind. US voters disagree on spending money for healthcare of other americans, the notion that they would sink this much money on saving the world from opium addiction is laughable and a complete fantasy.

As for their economy... the Taliban had declared opium to be anti-muslim and it was cut down by a huge amount in just one year, because of the strength of religion in the country. I don't know why you're suggesting it wouldn't be feasible, because they did it. Then the USA came in, kicked out the Taliban, installed a new puppet government, opium production once again skyrocketed to pay for the cost of their war.

Now, Afghan opium kills 100,000 people every year worldwide, which the US war is directly responsible for.

[QUOTE="Blaminator1221"]The only reason why the US army doesn't burn all poppy fields is because they're hated enough there, they are afraid that burning would cause a revolt among the civilians as opium is the only source of income for many Afghans...OldTopics

poppy growing is the only thing that puts food on the table. If they burn down your only source of income youll be pissed off, poor and vunerable to joining extremist groups like the Taliban, who wants more enemies?

it only really affects unlimited users. i used to be on such network and they were horrible. Bell and Videotron's banthwith caps are really low for what you pay for. Providers should provide more flexible plans. Usualy to get a bigger bandwith cap you need to buy a faster speed. the only reason high bandwith plans are high is because your paying for an increased speed.

yeah i worte some papers on that... but wikipedia? get a better source.

Still most military operations burn the poppy fields. Some is kept as 'pharmasutical' purposes. Still due to the war Talibans smuggle the opium to fund themselves.

Sources; a few soldiers i know who were on tour there

[QUOTE="JaredFrost95"] no because its harder for a kid to go get a gun than it is to call up his friends for a street race. JaredFrost95

Is it really? theres many households with easy access to weapons. finding an empty street is alot harder... besides no one is stupid enough to do anything close to 'real' street racing. Two cars draging done a road is way to obvious. people mostly just play around in parking lots or back roads which harms no one

and most people grew out of street racing ever since Fast and Furious stoped being good. Professional racing has a way bigger market

notice i said market? I'm talking about the mainstream people. i'd play a streetdrift game over legit racing anyday.

also legit racing is just as much a fad as anything else. they'll go back to street racing when everyone gets sick of forza or theyll go to something new.
