Ms Moons, please give us somali quotes but in english, thank you. we have nothing to learn from white people.

horta the use of the term of gaalo is very interesting here. by gaalo, do we mean whites or all non-believers. of all the non-believers, the somali atheist is by far the worse type of person to work with, followed closely by the hindu indian. off the whites, there are various types. 1. polite courteous type - very nice people and i've known a few in my lifetime. they're decent people and they're very easy to get along with. 2. white apologists - use of buzz words and cliches make them think they can solve your problems for you. very out-of-touch with reality and can be slightly annoying. 3. white working class racist - very conscious of colour. and often use their cadaanimo for the purposes of undermining you. very ignorant and see things in black/white. with these people, there is no agreeing to disagree. they must win and they're very confrontational in their approches. over time, they can conquered laakin, through sacarcam and other humour LOL.or through simple talk like the weather and football. somalis and especially local somalilanders are also another interesting group. 1. local somalilanders - very nasty and confrontational. very ignorant and indulge in hearsay and other nonsenses. show clear hate and contempt for the diaspora. can be intimidating through their power-dynamic games. 2. xamari somalis - they're just fantastic. very professional and the uninterrupted work culture and ethic that stems from their history is very admirable. 3. somali puntland - energy consuming and have problems understanding even the most basic of things like budgets and writting reports. i've worked with a few of them and found them to non-friendly and suspicious. they are animalistic and often eat with their hands and talk with their mouths open. 4. somali kenyan - interesting group, i must admit. work ethic is around 87% on average but morally corrupt. you would find them engaging in work-related drinks with their white bosses. posses a odour-like smell around them. 5. 0.5 somalis - no comment.

Then, we don't have to worry about condemns and whatnot! now, you can't call for a date without passing by a kiosk or pharmacy. Back then, we did not have to worry about gold-diggers. Love was for free like the air. waar anigu was the 2000s generation. in my world we had the internet and i wasnt allowed to play outside. i did however learn most things in life fairly late. man, i would've love to be in your era. there was no AIDS nor any nanny-state nonsense and the the fear that surrounds most parents these days of child murder and what-have-you LOL.

LOL@NORF, I've seen you and you seem rather young compared to these 45+'ers. tell me about your childhood in chilly northern england sxb. i recently met a somalilander from your neck of the woods. he was nostalgic and spoke about the good old days of community spirit and was spewing some nonsense that would make a hovis advert seem lackluster. bro, you should've seen this guy, all that was missing was middle-england-type music in the background. i then proceeded to correct him by pointing out the racism and the isolation he must have felt. he looked shocked and disappointed LOL.

to be honest this is an excellent thread and i have many opinions to express on this matter. i'll be back in 20mins.

these 45+ SOLers were probably in their early 20s when they first went to dibaada and had to pretend to be in their pre-teens. thats quite sad walahi. imagine a 19 yr old NG in year 6. i wonder when he lost that 'accent' he picked up in burco's non-formal privates in English? or imagine Sayid in peckham on the back of a red bus with his white girlfriend that was a 1/3 of his age.

indeed eedo blessed, in your elevated position of motherhood, do you think you can love your kids differently?

in my family of 7 bros and sisters, i'm often refereed to as 'GOLDEN CHILD'. i do believe my mother loves me more than the other 6. my bros and sisters are very jealous of me and have expressed hatred and hostilities towards me in the past.

^ adams, there is absolutely NO need for you to get personal. i'm rather disappointed in this unwarranted attack. please kindly edit what you've written above.

If there's to be a major war (like US/Israel vs Iran) there'll be weeks of building the case for the war (remember Iraq?). China attacking Japan because of the disputed islands which were/are in the news? Highly unlikely, China has a lot to lose and very little to gain and Japan will not initiate hostilities as it ultimately relies on the US for defence and the US is unlikely to encourage such a folly move. The only militarily significant thing that may happen is the final implosion of the Syrian state and the collapse of that regime; this maybe what your spidey senses are picking up a somewhat shoddy analysis of current geo-political issues. waar, gone are the days of a US-led coalition of the willing LOL. the real war is being fought out in the cultural arena. the real question to be asking should be; is China the Gog and Magog?. in surratul dhul-qarnayn, it's mentioned that they will come from the east. this is predicated on the idea that mecca is the centre of the world. Gog and Magog or the chinese are currently being kept at bay by the Himalayan mountain, thankfully. it is also expressed in these verses that they will eat everything and drink everything. of course, the last two pointed are premised on the ideas that they consume the finite resources. laakin, Gog and Magog are said to posses an ideology and china has not historically exported its culture beyond its borders. few thoughts for you to ponder on sxb.

In fact that is a perfect father, a strong MAN who can raise a child and contribute positively regardless of who fathered that child. Sadly it is not in most Somali men's blood. Shame really what nonsense! women are there to serve men. i don't see why i should serve her and her fatherless litter. the kids as a matter of priority must be given to their father or father's family.

lol@IBZ, adams, a scary father? nagada khiyaaliga dee. i don't think adams will be a father at all. i mean look at him - he's pathetic. he doesnt have the qualities of being a father at all. plus he's the type of man who will happily raise the kids of his formerly divorced wife and call her kids 'aabo'.

congratulations and my warmest hambalyos serenity.

i agree. well, there was the cold war and that project ended around 91. the whole globalisation nonsense died exhaustively around the turn of this century. 9/11 is almost at an end and has lost momentum. the last 3 or so years have been dedicated to the economic downturn. so yes, there is something coming and i think very soon a new project will begin. what the project will be remains to be seen. i do think the players will change and the style and rules of the game will change, invariably.
