The London Underground is not a political movement It's a transporation system. Metro looks shiny, but as always, a copy.

Oh oh, forgive me. Yes I quite understand that one can become someone while working on a particular piece. Remember how you called my mind trippy? Anyway, I had entertained this crazy idea that the spirit (eternal) is genderless, and so we are who we are now (in body - in one kind of a life-form) but we retreat to a unison spiritual state later on - in the relief of death of the body. So yes, I am interested in who you were who the inspiration for the poem oozed from the depth of your brain.

Well thanks, Mr. Somalia. Been reading this secretly lately instead of going off to other parts of SOL. Solitude is a torment which is not threatened in hell itself.

I note the disclaimer but as much as I understand the subject of the piece, could tell me what gender the author is? It helps.

Well, we've been waiting for the EAC to kick off from many years now. And boy, if it kicks off successfully, will this idea be very interesting to see how it ravels. It would a genuine test for East/ern Africans. If they do it without hesitation, then perhaps we Somalis would also drop the guns in amazement, or rather admiration, and apply to join the federation? It sure is a very sound idea BUT there its going to be a tricky to manour it. There are many issues that would need to be discussed. A hurried unity is not advised.

^^No it isnt your destiny, mate. You're just alittle emotional and duped by a noble lie. It happens to all of us though not for the same causes. If you are a pure Somalilander, you wouldn't speak as such. It's a common fact that if someone thinks he is what he says he is, he does what needs to be done, however noble or horrendous the intent. BTW, how pure are you? How far up do you go in your lineage without having a mother from other Somali clans or tribes mixing in the 'so-called' pure blood? FYI, even hitler wasn't a german german...and so he did what he did to prove that the Austrian is as german as the german german. Ofcourse he did it out of desperation to be accepted by 'others', which was very insecure of him really. I mean, why should one care about others or even bellow out to them if you 'own' your self? It's childish if you ak me. So that's why you need to forgive yourself for being dishonest to yourself. That's the first thing you need to do. When you've done that you'll see the difference in others...they'll beckon to your calls then. For enlightened causes, that is.

LX, my dear cousin, how have you been since we last spoke. I hope your health is tiptop and you're as fit as a fiddle. Do me a favour brother. I would like to be fair and hear the observations (based on real events) that you may make of how things are now with Al-Shabaab's drive. So, through sound reasoning, convince me that this is indeed the true wind of change. Convince me fadlan. Other than that, igu salaan.

^Marx, don't bother. Let it come out. Then try to forgive yourself.

Sophist, it don't matter. Now that he's shown his true colours, a little home truth should be enough for our boy Marx. That is, an answer from someone with the same misguided venom from the other side. Marx have some relative translate this for you, will you?

^ And who'll be on the delegation from Puntland? I don't want to guess. JB's right for that position. He understands PL and how it works now after his espionage trip to Garowe.

'fraid so.

Shabeel and JB, first I am not really too bothered about proofs or non-proofs or existence or non-existence or some such thing that might throw us into the whirl wind of claims and counter-claims, but let me, for the benefit of discussion, be more of a complete nutter and reduce the whole argument of this thread as being simply 2of many other human or imaginative explanation of what exists or doesn't exist. What if there could be more arguments than just these two? What if there are other explanations more inclusive than Darwinism? Or that of religion? What I find very amusing in all human arguments is that its not merely the truth that humans are after, but somehow the 'missing link or truth' becomes the very exercise of 'countering the other'. And slowly by slowly, the need for truth itself becomes redundant since it doesn't either support one or another side of the argument. Perhaps we should find the hidding place of the truth? BTW, I don't think this forum exists, it is the constract of my imagination. I somehow created it. Now counter that.

Let's get off the bloody high horse for once and BE practical, especially with regards to the state of Somali women's condition THEN and now. If we are not retarded beyond return, it is awfully too obvious to discern that Somali women (regardless of what religion says or doesn't say about their plight), have had their unfair share of life under destitution. Now, a leader who had no concern about religion (or those who peddle religion with their ego) has tried (possibly for ideological reasons) to better equip these family builders to their deserved share of family maintenance inheritance. In fact, if it were my call, I would've given the whole lot to the women in Somalia then and today, and add to that, give them the power to ration it to all irresponsible absentee/warring fathers. My reason for doing that? Purely on the grounds of the human security that is essential to the continuation of what we love to call Somaliness (without even having a faint idea what it is practically). Now, after even 20 or so years of actually knowing the role of these women in Somali families, some folks dare come here and bring up the silly excuse of doctrinal religious rulings. Heck, who the hell is going to worship Allah or follow the religion when the basic component that allows such adherence to religion is totally dismantled? Think, people. And if you've lost the power to think and reason, then read the history of Islam when such existential decisions to safeguard the maslaxa of the ummah have been made, while doctrines are temporarilly put to a side. You don't just jump. That's what these executed so-called 'sheikhs' did, and others are still doing just that. Think before you do that.

If it has not been deemed Haram, then the animal is an edible and sustaining substance. The stigma attached to it is all human or social. The cats find sustenance in them yet we do not find cats 'disgusting'.

We must not forget that we're here, living on earth, because we're imperfect. So how shall we expect perfection from the union of two imperfect entities? Improve perfection in one and each and then, perhaps, the union would be pleasant. You cannot find what is not there.

It's good for men to talk whatever the history. There's no harm in it. Aan wada hadalno waa aan heshiino.

^Shukran. Waa ankhriyi doona, Idin Alle.

Pragmatic indeed.

Gentlemen, you must stop this. It's done. It's gone. Now let us discuss things of better nature.
