SUMMARY: Taliban rule is over in Kandahar, Afghanistan (news - web sites), and Western journalists have already noted that traditions of homosexuality are re-emerging.
Taliban rule is over in Kandahar, Afghanistan, and Western journalists have already noted that traditions of homosexuality are re-emerging.
Kandahar's Pashtuns have started to become visible again with their "ashna" -- teenagers who are groomed for sex. Before the Taliban took over in 1994, Pashtuns could be seen everywhere with their young boys on whom they showered expensive gifts. Living in poverty, the boys could not refuse the Pashtuns.
Once a boy becomes the property of a Pashtun, who is usually married with a wife and family, he is marked out. The Kandaharis, however, accept Pashtun relationships as part of their culture. Pashtun and their ashna "beloveds" have been part of everyday life for centuries.
"In the days of the Mujahidin, there were men with their ashna everywhere, at every corner, in shops, on the streets, in hotels: It was completely open, a part of life," Torjan, 38, one of the soldiers loyal to Kandahar's new governor, Gul Agha Sherzai, told the Times newspaper.
"They are just emerging again," Torjan said. "The fighters too now have the boys in their barracks. This was brought to the attention of Gul Agha, who ordered the boys to be expelled, but it continues. The boys live with the fighters very openly. In a short time, and certainly within a year, it will be like pre-Taliban: They will be everywhere."

"Minimum wage laws decrease the number of entry level jobs. Moron"
Silly person. The "lower" the minimum wage, the "lower" the level of entry. (And the more behind people get in their work.) parsy.

There is an old Pathan (Pushtun) love song which begins:
"There's a boy across the river
With a bottom like a peach.
But alas I cannot swim

Yep! The US Military making Afghanistan safe for homosexuality.

Sick. I am no defender of even the smallest gay agenda, however, this headline should read "Pedophilia customs return to Kandahar".
To: RAT Patrol
The article is not specific enough. It only says "teens". That could be 17-19 year olds. I would call that homosexual.

Gee, and we've been told so-o-o-o-o many times by the homo apologists on this forum that sex with boys has "nothing to do with" and "is not part of" adult homosexual behavior.
Looks like the truth "comes out," just like "gay" activists do.

Ok moron..let a Longhorn explain it to you. This is what the equilibrium market will look like without a minimum wage. Lets assume the current equilibrium price is $4 an hour.
This is what happens when you introduce minimum wage of $5.15 an hour.
OK GOT IT LIBERAL? See the arrows that indicate how many people get the shaft because of your minimum wage? See what happens when minimum wage drops below the equilibrium? I'll tell you what happens, nothing. So there you go...nice colorful pictures..easy to understand...none of that hard algebra to worry your mind.
Either minimum wage does nothing (and helps nobody) or some people get a raise only at the expense of others getting the shaft. So...if your in a union...you get a pay raise...if your not in a union...you get the shaft...see how the entire thing works?
