Man, no wonder my forefathers and these people have been mortal enemies since the 17th century. The last few days have been sort of an eye opener for me here on SOL. I seriously didn't know people were harbouring this kind of hate. Alhamdulillah Somaliland is independent and stronger than ever, cid wax ka qaadi kartaanaa majirto. TAKBIIR! ALLAHU AKBARRRRRR!!!!!!!! Hahahahaaaaa

Safferz;941440 wrote: Interesting, thank you I meant to say that oral literature *is* Somali literature for the most part. There has been Somali writing in other scripts and it's important to point that out because of the widespread assumption that Africans did not write, but it has never been the form of literary production we value as a society. Our literary canon is one of orality, Sayyid Mohamed, Raage Ugaas, Qaman Bulxan, Ali Dhuux , etc. It's just a very different cultural context from those in societies where illiteracy may have been widespread, but saw the writings of people like Alexandre Dumas as their canon nonetheless, despite most of them not being able to access the material. What happened to Qawdhan Ducaale, Cabdi Gahayr, Cilmi boodhari, Yowle and Nuur dhagacun? I'm telling ur mom on u, loool.

Wadani Ciidagale, I like the sound of it Haatu. And i support this idea as well.

Safferz;941054 wrote: I think I may have stumbled upon it reading some of Pankhurst's other work (not my favourite scholar and pro-Ethiopian but he has some good work). I wasn't able to attach it here since the file is too big, but I've linked it from my Dropbox account so hopefully this works: Part 1 and Part 2 . Great stuff. Thanks.

No we're not. I said abti baan u ahay. What does that tell u?

Safferz;941042 wrote: Please. Who said I ever agreed to a date with you SP? Safferz, I think it's times to tell Alpha, SP and all ur other admirers that i'm the only SOL guy u'd actually date.

Alpha if u weren't so smug about ur little song, and hadn't called me out I wouldn't have exposed ur plagiarism...oh well. http://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?id=343224979084758&story_fbid=415826188491303 Baby girl you are so Qurux Your face shines like Qorax You smell sweet like Ubax girl don't be like Dhagax I will hold you like Tusbax Baby girl use your Maskax Or i'll throw you like Qodax.

Way to expose Safferz hahaa, and as for ur assumption i'll take it as a compliment, thanks.

No im not particularly good at chemistry. I haven't seen a periodic table since grade 12 lol. What do u study?

SomaliPhilosopher;940583 wrote: We expected better from you Wadani. Lool I dont blame u. In retrospect I see it wasn't a good decision either, but i was a kid who grew up in the hood with no mentors who was just happy to be in university.

Yeah i majored in psych. Y would both of u guess otherwise?

SomaliPhilosopher;940570 wrote: Wadani, do you enjoy evolutionary psychology? Yeah it's pretty interesting. One of my profs was a well known evolutionary psychologist.

True, but it's not the type of civil war where some people are expelled from their deegaans and a new clan is brought in to settle there, and that's wat I was intitially talking about. Anyway, u already know my position on Khaatumo. Somaliland should let them be if dadwaynaha Khaatumo doesn't want to be a part of them, just as Somalia should let Somaililand be if it doesnt want to rejoin the union.

SomaliPhilosopher;940560 wrote: Ma ku baraa, wadani? lol, what if im the skinny Somali type. U know I always wonder what the people I talk to on SOL really look like in real life.

Safferz;940559 wrote: Maybe lol. I find skinny builds unattractive, especially on men. True, most females r like u. It's an innate attraction that is rooted in the subconcious desire of women to find a man capable of protecting them and their offspring. Though such evolutionary biological explanations are anathema to some .

Safferz;940554 wrote: She's very pretty, but everyone in that vid could use an extra 20 lbs lol I don't know what it is but I sorta like the skinny Somali look. Maybe its my over exposure to repulsive North American obesity.

Yea it does sound pretty catchy...and the girl looks pretty nice. Not bad for some nairobi kids.

Lmoaaaaaa! Khatar cadiim!
