  1. Hello trollers! Every other active topic has "women" or "gabdho" in the title. It's not spring is it? Ngonge, who is that? He definitely rings some bells
  2. ^Yes, but the facts that are yet to be revealed are unlikely to strengthen the government's case...FACT
  3. Sayid, this is from watching endless Law & Order marathons so I'm probably wrong. What's entrapment? Scenario 1: Man is heading towards his car after buying some milk from a grocery store. A woman approaches him and says "I'll have sex with you for $100". Man exclaims, "great! my car is just around the corner!" Woman pulls out a gun and says "You're under arrest for prostitution." That's entrapment. The man had no intention of committing a crime, and would NOT have done so if the cop wasn't there. Scenario 2: A man approaches a scantily clad woman on a street corner and offers her $100 to hop into his car for a little R&R. She says, "show me the money". He pulls out his wallet. She pulls out a gun. That's not entrapment The man's intention was to commit a crime, and he simply got busted by an undercover cop. If the cop hadn't been there his intention would be the same. To me, this young man who had visions of bloodshed and mayhem in Portland is more like an 11 year old boy who goes up to the "prostitute" and offers her money for sex. She says "show me the money." He says, "Well, actually my allowance is only $5 a week and I spent it already. And er, I'm not even sure what sex is but it's all the rage with the teenagers I hang out with. Is it like skateboarding or something?" Clearly the little guy had the intention, but neither the means nor the means as it were. I suppose the cop can wait around until he hits puberty, then lend him the money to solicit her, then arrest him for prostitution, and claim to be cracking down on crime. But who would do something so cynical and counterproductive?
  4. There is also the dhac, which is paid to anyone who advises the groom-to-be, whether in person or through electronic communication. Don't worry, traditionally the dhac is equivalent to just 2 months' salary. Per mentor. Welcome to SOL, Daud Generally, the prospective groom's family discusses all the financial unpleasantness with the bride-to-be's family. But nowadays our daring women will name their price, so just ask her. Since the woman you're interested in is a divorcee, you could probably get away with a modest couple grand, which is given to her mother (although the negotiations will be with her nearest male relatives).
  5. Originally posted by Che -Guevara: This is setup! What a waste of taxpayer money. Some duumb teen emails someone about waging jihad but doesn't get a response because he can't even manage to get the right email. So the government sets up an elaborate trap, complete with the id!ot getting encouraged over months, help with getting supplies and logistics, then gets handed a cell phone to press a button. Seems like a huge psychological experiment. What uninformed angry teenager with violent impulses (whether it's a school shooting, gang violence, or a terrorist attack) wouldn't have done the same?
  6. Try a "Why are Somali..." search instead. Even you would struggle to answer some of those questions Polanyi
  7. ^Right you are. But now I want some, even though waan ku saliigyodaa...
  8. Whoa. SOLers sure used to be colorful. Now every one is so BORING **Off to start a fight with someone, anyone**
  9. Loads and loads of food. About 65% of the budget should go towards food and catering (25% for tough ex-military bouncers to keep out unwanted guests and the rest for the dress/venue/entertainment etc). At least three cakes, and don't skimp on the xalwad. Comfy chairs in the back, with a good view of the dance floor and entrance, so one can spot who wore the exact same dirac set again and who is sweating like she is a donkey hauling firewood. Loud music, but not so loud you can't whisper to your neighbor about the obvious tension between the bride's mother and the groom's stepmother. Don't forget to set aside bail money for when the cops arrive at 4 AM to disperse the party (only half an hour after you show up in your fetching gown!) and then end up arresting your new uncle in-law when he tries to throw THEM out.
  10. ^I do love wool dresses, ideally at about knee-length. But they only look really good with boots that have a bit of height
  11. I'm guessing the rest of the book is a single page that says: NOTHING
  12. ^I don't know what you're on about Sheh. I routinely sneak into my neighbor's apartment to cook and clean for him. In fact I'm hiding under the couch right now, waiting for him to leave so I can finish darning his socks. Wish I'd thought to wash them first though, a bit on the ripe side they are...
  13. Seriously guys, "other communities do this too!"? Is that going to be our new slogan? A civil war that never ends: well, other countries have civil wars too! Piracy, kidnapping, highway robbery: Come on, it happens everywhere... Child sex trafficking: Puhlease, there was a similar bust of Albanians a few years ago. And LOL @ Al-shabab coming to the rescue. Sure Al-shabab would have protected these girls from being exploited, if they didn't stone them to death for "adultery", or execute them for "spying" first.
  14. I feel nauseated. How is this even possible?
  15. Estimates are at about 150K. It was entertaining, but like all liberal rallies the sheepish self-deprecation did not exactly make for rousing sloganeering. "WILL THIS HELP?"
  16. Couldn't go but doing the next best thing. Watching it live
  17. Is having a clash with Ngonge a SOL hazing ritual now?
  18. Agriculture leads inevitably to slavery, mass starvation, fascism, environmental degradation, political upheaval and Dan Brown novels. Pasturalism is superior in almost all respects
  19. ^Just reading that gave me laab jeex. Hello trollers... as usual I'm lurking around precisely because I should be doing something else Ouch @ Juxa. Can't your advice trump his since you're the professional?
  20. ^Hehe. I tried watching Flashforward and got turned off by the horrid acting of the lead man in the very first episode. If I'd known it would have a story set in Somalia I would have stuck it out. Ganwar Region represent!
  21. I watched Wall Street a couple of weekends ago and people in the theater laughed when Gordon Gecko gets his cell phone back as he's being released from prison. It's pretty incredible really.
  22. ^All the same, at your next annual health exam make sure to mention it to your doc. Unexplained aches and pains is the reserve of us old folk, you copy-cat kids need to look after your health better :mad:
  23. ^At least it's not the bin labeled "Major Discount - Cosmetic Defects Only" No where really, just busywork and guilt-tripping. I've missed you, I realized I haven't laughed hard in a long time since reading your initial response to A&T. I hope you weren't really mad at him. His talent is wasted on these Desperate Housewives crap but it shouldn't be snuffed out entirely.
