  • "Afghan Addiction to Opium Cash"

    Afghans maybe addicted to the tiny crums of Opium Cash that falls from the table of the US bankers that are addicted to the lion's share of the hundreds of billions a year they launder and channel to off the book activites

  • Drug addicts inspire this kind of social sickness.

  • How ironic that a huge slice of the accrued revenue funds the Taliban insurgency. Afghan women can now be clinically treated for this sickness since the fall of the Taliban.

  • Share some of that opium here in U.S.A. Send about 100 tons. Our kids here are taking more dangerous drugs like meth. Opium seems safer as a drug of choice among addict here in this state.

  • She disgusts me too. It is a sorry world we live in when those who HAVE give nothing and are apathetic to those who HAVE NOT. She is young and ignorant; there are still many people who want to make this a better world for everyone.

  • any idiot who takes opium from anyone besides a doctor has a very large chance of dieing or becoming addicted. opium is very dangerous and can become poisonous if not used correctly especially since some of the ingredients for opium are poison.

  • look i dont care about your life. lol. its a cruel world. get over it.

  • stupid petty child...you thumbed down my comment b/c I called you for what you are and you prove yourself yet again...a stupid over-privileged little naive shit stain who has lived quiet the sheltered comfortable life...

  • who said I have internet? I utilize public information. Libraries, friends, relatives etc..I don't own a computer. You're a blind naive retard. Its a brave new world out there, a far cry from your remedial tunneled outlook..Hows life under your rock?? Oh well, that's were bugs belong...

  • Be careful at where you priorities lie....

    It'll come back on you in ways you'll never understand.....
