    Ismalura, sis, that image looked funny. I found it on a public place on facebook, marka I just wanted to share. On the other hand, waa gabdho Soomaaliyeed oo sharaf leh, if in any way that picture sharaftooda meel ugu dhacaayo, my bad then. That is why now ugu saaray, plus as an extended courtesy to other respected SOLers as well.

     

    Oos, waaka heshay yaah. Indhafuur waaxid.
    :D

    Thanks for removing it. I know it is all over the internet coz I saw it on Facebook so many times. I just hate these pictures and I was like this is so unlike MMA. I don't mean to flatter you but you are always a gentle man marka galbta waanba yaabay but I guess you were just adding to the list of weird pictures.

     

    @ Aaliyah haa abaayo. I had to threaten that OZ guy in a different language LOL. Inbadan af aanan ku hadlin buuba igu hadalsiiyay.

    If you agree with his views(the disgruntled gay blogger who has a chip on his shoulder), who has a long history of being critical about U.S policy, both domestic and international, you are in a way supporting his lifestyle, in and outside of print, so which is it?

     

    @ LazieG, actually posting somebody's work with out personal notes doesn't mean you support their life style it just means you agree with that particular piece of work; you may even disagree with the preceding or following blog on the same topic. That said, Nur should take some time to say something about the things he posts here.

     

    On the issue on 9/11 I don't believe that it was an American conspiracy but America did cause it indirectly (like you pointed out earlier). What you do unto other will be done to you. I don't support violence of any kind but the US foreign policies are(and will be) the cause of its own downfall.

     

    @ SOL admin why are there fools like Raamsade here airing out their ********* on SOL? I thought no one was allowed to insult Islam on these threads. Tolerance has its limits ee doqomadan mesha ha laga saaro.

    ..also I want to remind you they can get feisty.
    :D

    Did any one get feisty on you? :D

     

    @ Wacdaraha adaa mudan walaalo. Trust me there is someone special for everyone but it will only happen when it is the right time.

     

    Zack's advice is based on xaasidnimo and distrust. Marry a woman in Africa and leave her in cidlo. Keep her there because if you give here the choice she will go 'bad'. It is against everything that marriage is supposed to be. Mida kale you don't have to go to a wedding to find a good woman; not many good things happen at Somali weddings at qurbaha.

     

    And lastly group blind dates aa? What kind of a woman will put herself in such a situation. Alla maxa wax walbe la arakay !

    Alliyah's wonderful thread on gifted kids turned in to matchmakers.com. Didn't people here me say that we can go to the --- bank and make a choice not just on brains but on everything else..... Ha nalaga daaya fowdada hadii kale waxyaaba kalaan ku hadli doonaa.

    Ismalura, giftedness is something that Allah blesses with some one and the parents dont have to be educated. I remember when I was in high school we visited this Somali who was illetrate (both english & Somali) but her son who was four was able to read my physics text without anyone ever teaching him how to read, masha'Allah. So it is not always about the environment but rather blessing from Allah.

     

    Abaay heeleey giftedness is said to be mostly heredity and I didn't say that your parents have to be educated but they have to have those genes and pass on to you. The mother of the gifted kid may have been uneducated but she (or the dad) probably had the giftedness genes. See both the environment and the God given talents are important; if you are gifted and you never have the opportunity to get an education than you will remain uneducated. By the way you are right; the most important thing is that your kids grow up happy and God fearing.

    Alliyah abaayo I can try my best in raising my kids but I need those superb genes. I am just an above average student but may be if I marry a smarty pants I could have gifted kids....The probability of that happening is not really high so I am envious of them (in a good way though).

    Ismalura walaal, I believe that environment plays more important role than genes. People think hey if you are a professor or an educated individual then hey your kids were successful because of your genes? I think it is just the fact that those who are educated ie professors doctors (as in this story I posted) teachers etc are providing the perfect environment. They offer for their kids libraries even within the house, always buying htem books from a young age, perhaps even hiring tutors etc..So it is not about genes but the environment. Of course your genes might play some role I am not discounting the biological perspective. I am simply saying it plays a minimum role.

     

    If you come with the efforts and you really put your heart to it and teach your kids and encourage them to learn. And, one doesnt even have to wait till that child turns 5, you would be surprised how much you teach a child prior to that age. Which is why other nations such as chinese people have smarter kids..ilma hal jir ah bay maanto dhan wax ku akhrinayaan..keenana maxa la dhaha ilmaha yar cunteesiya..cartoona u shida..thats it...we have to have high hopes for our kids even that young.

     

    tan kale stop being so pessimistic inshaAllah you can produce the next Obama if you spend some quality time with your kids and teach them. Never lose hope tan kale indha yar baad ka war dooni karta ka waran

    Aaliyah the nature verus nurture debate is an age-old one and both sides have brought forward significant evidence. I personally think that the environment has more influence on a person lakiin traits like giftedness ama the other extreme waa mostly hereditary. I have no doubt that I can raise a 25 year old PHD candidate but 16 year one is midaan pessimistic ka ahay. I don't think these kids parents are avarge people because they are so extra ordinary that environment alone can't explain their gift.

     

    Anyways your sugesstion on indhayarta is not bad ee let me look around the school bal :D

    NinaNC walaaley maxaad saa oogu dheeraatay wadaadada. Awal hore waxaan arki jiray Arab-worshiping Somalis and I used to wonder why baryahan there is to much Arab bashing on SOL. Waxan waa all about siyaasad and bussiness and everyone is protecting their interest ee adiga if you can get a Muslim owned company that serves you better maxaad ku nici? Mise your loyalty to Canada is more important than everything else including your own comfort?

    I always knew the significance of a parent's role both through the genes they pass on and the way they bring up their kids but the home schooling part is so amazing Walahi. It is one thing to ensure that your kids go to school and do well but it is a totally different thing to teach them at home and make so much out of it

     

    I envy them so much...

    Laakiin too much pressure, pressuring one's children to excel in their academies ma fiicno, too. Just look at Jabaan, that country and its suicide rates as a result of too much parental pressures of their children's success at schools.

     

    Wax walba balancing ku fiicantahay, a moderation.

     

    Teeda kale si ba'an ayeeba dadka u saaranyihiin waalidiinta qaarkood. I don't know, I believe it says more about their family experience than wax kale. Qofba suu noqdo Rabi ayaa ka haayo ma'ahee wax uu waalid ka qaban karo maleh after a certain age, siiba qurbahaan lagu soo qaxay.

     

    Soomaaliya ayaa la joogi jiray and one's parents hardly involved with any of their children's lives, and Eebbe mahadiis, the vast majority of us turned out just fine. I know, I know, dhul Galbeedkaan iyo Soomaaliya isku mid ma'aha la dhihi doonaa, still.

     

    Our parents are fine, and they are doing fine. Unlike others, they are not that nosy, too nosy to get involved with their children. They are not too controlling, as some other immigrant communities do. If anything can be blamed, the blame methinks would be the freedom they give to their children, which I wouldn't take it away. Soomaali wax walba ha lagu eedeeyo, but compared to other communities, they give their children the utmost freedom, oo dad badan ayee dhaamaan. I applaud that.
    MMA I have to disagree with you on this walaalo. I know you acknowledge that this environment is different from back home lakiin it looks like you are underestimating the importance of parent's involvement for a kid's successful education. Parents have to know how much their kids can do and set high yet realistic standards for them. Mida kale waalidaka Somalida aad uma dabcsana siyaabaha kale they are just not too ambitious with education.

     

     

    I know too much pressure can be bad but what I am saying is I would rather have over zealous Somali parents than careless ones.

     

    By the way have you watched 'Akeelah and the bee'? What you said about the pressure that the indhayar put on their kids reminded me of that movie.
