I'm so upset SP!!! My mom already gave her my flight info :(

Ah I see. You guys, my mom has been telling everyone she knows that I'm heading to Ethiopia soon (trying to get a sense of what the kililka is like from Somalis from there, since she's scared), and now a Somali lady who is heading there in June decided she will try and change her travel plans to fly there with me :mad: How do I get out of this? Why won't hoyo let me be?

For they're more dangerous to any society than a rapist. Somalis have their own ways and means of dealing with any rape and though our traditional routes may not be perfect, they're ours and we make them work. For us. Moronic post.

On iPad so I can't post excerpts, but check out Benedict Anderson's book "Imagined Communities," also Ernest Gellner and Eric Hobsbawm. Nation-states have architects, and national identities must be produced. I don't believe Somalis are incapable of this, we have already had a nationalist movement for independence in which Somali identity became the primary tool for political mobilization. Right now it's a question of restoring people's faith in the principles of state and citizen over clan as the trusted political unit.

He crossed the line this time, with such hateful words the admin deleted them The original comment in the Fresh Prince thread told me to shut up, and he called me s.tupid and a white apologist, among other things.

But the majority of the Cadaans here now are German, Dutch, and Swedish descendant. Ah that's true (French as well), the US had huge waves of immigrants in the late 19th and early 20th centuries... Canada did as well, but nothing comparable to the US with its huge ships of European immigrants from Northern, Eastern and Southern Europe arriving on Ellis Island.

I am never posting in the cantarbaqash corner again.

Thanks admin.

Cheers.

The word was "contextualize," but ok.

Will Smith is one of the highest paid and most powerful actors in Hollywood, who takes on primarily serious roles, and made his acting debut in a television series many of us grew up watching. Maybe you're missing the cultural context and pop culture references as a Brit, because acting silly and being ridiculous isn't what he's doing, he's reprising a role much to everyone's (nostalgic) delight.

Night SP

Morning Alpha, some of us still haven't slept

SomaliPhilosopher;955001 wrote: saffy as the issues you have mentioned with miyi life. i think similar to how the underground tunnels allow the people of gaza to snack on popey's fried chicken smuggled from egypt. or how ships and airplanes allow me to wear h&m made in Bangladash. things simple as roads can alleviate such concerns of the miyi life as one can travel to hospitals and whatnot Yes, I didn't mean to imply the conditions are permanent... I hope we see improvements in the quality of life there and elsewhere in Somalia soon. And you know I'm a tease, nothing new there

Kindred spirits dee, soulmate doesn't necessarily mean romantic Friends too.

I agree with you completely, but on the other side there are also all the issues I've mentioned. You will have to live in miy with your Dhusamareb wife, because I refuse :mad:

SP I think we are soulmates, my musical history looks very similar, although I would also include the era of boy and girl bands, and perhaps the life altering moment when I first heard Destiny's Child and my love for Beyonce began. But why do you want me to die in childbirth in miyiga?

I'm just too nice to you SP I still think that view of miyiga is romantic and unrealistic... the quality of life will be poor, and resources are thin. I don't mean to speak ill of miy, we all have relatives there and even those of us who are from cities are only a few generations removed from it, but the fact is that life there is difficult. Somalia has one of the highest rates of child and maternal mortality in the world, and one of shortest life expectancies, and all of the figures are worse for those who live outside of the major cities. I'm assuming you want your children to be literate and attend school too lol

Fair enough, but I am interested to hear your thoughts on it because you're not the first to express the desire to start a new life in miyiga
