I am caged in this corner

full of melancholy and sorrow ...

my wings are closed and I cannot fly ...

I am an Afghan woman and so must wail.

@yamahaqi oh my gawd you idiot. it wasnt wow

The film Osama was set under the Taliban, women do have a voice, and should have a voice, very few cover themselves from head to toe, and those who do a great majority do it for security reasons.

I dont know where you live, but i would never make a judgment of your society, if you are British only recently has fox hunting been banned, shall i refer to the 70 million people are barbaric and backwards?

I am an Afghan and I invite you to go see Afghanistan, and just so you get it, osama was set under the Taliban.

Therefore arguably, accurate assessments can only be obtained by leaving ones homeland bubble and traveling into the others culture and lifestyle. During those brief visits you can begin to draw very preliminary conclusions

[yamahaqi]

It is virtually impossible to understand cultures that are so very different from American, UK, or Western European culture by watching TV reports or TV shows. Examples

The USA junk reality TV shows they dont show any realistic American life

Movies like the Indian movie, Slumdog Millionaire did not show modern India lifestyle
