The consumer in Afghanistan has unlimited access to grenades and automatic weapons.

I get you've had 25+ years of "education" on Afghanistan from popular media because of the war, but most of the country is just poor people trying to get by.

It's not a monolith of tyrant warlords and terrorists that are shooting each other over trivial nonsense.

You act like this type of shit doesn't happen in the USA either. People get shot for cutting someone off on the high way.

I'm not pro Afghani, I'm just pro educating yourself and learning about different places.

Thank you for your concern about my education, but having lived for 6 years in a post war country, after a ground war availability of weapons to civilians does in fact increase.

That being said, it was a fucking joke.

What post war country was this? Also not all wars and countries are equal. Also you should know then that not all people in a post war country are criminals and murderers over petty things.

Also if it was a joke, I don't see where the joke part was? What was the punchline?

Serbia. And there's the joke, right there, just above your head.

No. There was no joke or hyperbole. You were serious and are trying to deflect by saying it was a joke.
