    I Don't Think There Are Other People's Who Know Us More Than We Do, So I Don't Think The Writer Is From Aother Ethnicity
    :D

    Yes, I guess only Somali could write those things about tribes and stuff.

     

    I remember few years ago it was different and included things like Somalis running a marathon in the pavement whenever they see a dog and someone with A-level maths being held as highly educated and respected among Somalis. It's much funnier now, of course.

    Garnaqis - economically yes, but why is that translated as how one defines one self ? Working to earn a living, however small is honourable so I dont get the 'poor me attitude'

     

    Unfortunately, the attitude is a shared one among inner city kids, they have already assumed because they come from challenging enviroment [with free house,food,school, hospital] they are 'low' thus why aim high, why have pride or self respect. I work in an inner city school, changing the 'low' self view has been a challenging task so far.

     

    ps.Last summer London riots was the evidence of how corrupted their thinking is
    [i mean the youth]
    - causing havoc because they feel someone owes them something, whilst wearing designer gear claiming their not given chances..lol. They should see a 20yr old walking the length of London in Dar es salaams hot afternoon selling socks - now that is a tough life.

    Oh, I see what you mean. I couldn't agree more with your last paragraph.

    ^True - indeed, we wish them all the best. I actually felt sorry for them, they felt they were low class here in UK, thats was enough to erode any sense of self respect or love they have for themselves. I couldnt relate to that, as a diasporan born and bred, we have always had a sense of belonging with our families, community and nation even though we were miles away from Somalia. Marka maa fahmo ciyalkaan qurbaha jooga why feel inferior or low class?

    I thought majority of Somalis in UK are from working/lower class?

    Having so many children you know you cannot feed then watching them die of starvation is disgusting! Even those who manage to feed them are usually unable to provide a better quality of life for them than they could if they had fewer. People get dogged against contraceptives but lack the moral imagination to see the impact of uncontrolled birth rates -- especially in countries like Somalia.

    It's an unbelievable show. I've watched the 5 seasons over and over again several times over the past years. It says a lot about human nature.

    I've watched seasons 1-4 in the last month or so, after being reminded of its hype by your shout in the other thread, so cheers.

    Are you sure? Isn't 'jinac' the one that releases the foul odour if threatened? I'm pretty sure it's called stink ant.
