Banning chess as a "potential form of gambling" - how stupid can they get?

Inveterate gamblers will bet on two raindrops running down a window pane. Will they ban windows?

[1ozzy]

Possibly, depends on how much rain they get.

[dave50]

It's all about banning fun and enjoyment. 

[1ozzy]

I'd hazard a guess that if they ban windows Bill Gates won't loose much sleep.

The Taliban proved themselves to be completely mental when news first hit our media of them destroying Buddhist statues last century. No need to reconsider the question again now; it's already been answered.

Yet,there are one or two(maybe more)who are apologists for these Islamist nut-jobs on this site!

[ToraToraTora]

Yes, completely radio rental.

[ToraToraTora]

you can gamble on just about anything so they are treading dangerous path with that one.

 

[ToraToraTora]

What about cricket?

[ToraToraTora]

"Last year, the authorities banned free fighting such as mixed martial arts (MMA) in professional competition, saying it was too "violent" - PMSL just stick to stoning and flogging women much safer!

[ToraToraTora]

I suspect the real issue is people thinking they hate that.

[naomi24]

They seem bent on taking all the pleasure out of life.

"Are The Taliban Competely Mental?"

Yes.

End of, as they say.  🤣

[sandyRoe]

I'd second that ^

Nuff said.

[youngmafbog]

Totally radio, no doubt about that.  Except for some appologists of course.

[sandyRoe]

Who are these apologists?

They should be named and shamed.

[youngmafbog]

There are plenty about if you look Sandy.  Although I dont think I have ever seen a Taliban appologist on here.

[davebro3]

They must be working through a list of "Things We Can Ban", bonkers!

Maybe that's why they are called TaliBAN?

[youngmafbog]

No, its just extreme zealotry using Islam as the 'reason'.

Any zealot does bonkers things, looknat Milliband for a prime example.  Common sense goes out the window.

[ToraToraTora]

10:09 don't be shy sandy, you know you call them "freedom fighters" when they are beheading babies.

Like all religious zealots, they frequently exhibit bizarre behaviour. Another example from a different religion - gathering in their thousands to view some smoke signals. Not now in the same league as the Taliban, but go back some years for equally bad behaviour, especially in Ireland.
