  1. I am dead serious Layzie, I have 9 to 5 job on the week days and I truck for only weekends locally and believe me for the two days and I make the first number you threw up there untaxed invoicing my employer. This life is the kind that provides for your family and for your future sis.
  2. ^This trucker is not impressed with what you just said Mr. Brown, it helps put food on my family (in Dabya's words)
  3. Just the taxes alone should make you stay away if anything Mr. Taksiile. Ontario taxes is 14% (GST 6% and PST 8%), while Alberta doesn't have provincial sales tax making it only 6% GST. If you still decide to move out here, you can look at the trucking business, that is if the stabbing didn't discourage you. Good luck.
  4. If this isn't love, I don't know what is boys and girls. They will fail and fall, but I assure you they will triumph and thrive in the end. Nature is impeccable!

  6. That's where you are WRONG! Aaliyah. let me tell you what a Somali man owes his future children, first, A mother from the same river as him. Secondly, good names such as Libaax, aar, and Tuke (for boys) and Dawaco, shinbir, and shumey.

    Anigu maalinba meel baa ii daran, maanta waa indhaha, waxba ma arko, blind as a bat.
  8. Alliyah, waad waalan tahay, hadaad og tahay waxii kuu fiican, ka guurso Laftaada iyo Jilibkaaga iyo kubkaaga. Paragan warkiisa marnaba dheg ha u dhigin. Nephy, Two thumps up! Lily, because, your river has the cleanest of waters to drink from. No brainer there really!
  9. My legs gave up on me after the first 2 rakkahs on several occasions, so I have decided to leave tarawih all together because they are not dependable.

  11. If only Putin knew the recourses available to him, odayada Somalia jooja 70 jir ku wada dhalaaya ayuu aruursan lahaa.
  12. Ng, *a weak hehe* I promise to laugh out real hard after aftar.
  13. I just had to watch the video on mute, but I am betting this Iraqi dude is going to give Bill O'reilly a run for his money.
  14. Somalia may have a global wireless connection, but many of its people have nowhere to relieve themselves and no water to drink. According to the World Bank, Somalia has 1.5 more telephones per capita than Djibouti, Kenya and Ethiopia, but only one-third as many Somalis have access to safe water as their neighbors in those countries. I will deem that this source is a tad bit exaggerated, because this is totally implausible. How can we out talk, out resource and out phone nations that populate more then us respectively ? It struck me as ironic, because I assumed that this man earned his income in a camp for the displaced. But he set me straight — most of his income consists of money transfers from his wife, a refugee in Nairobi. Remittances from abroad are in fact the main source of income for countless Somalis, and the transfers work amazingly well. A 2004 World Bank study on Somalia, aptly titled "Anarchy and Invention," reports: "The hawala system, a trust-based money-transfer system, used in many Muslim countries, moves [$500 million to $1 billion] into Somalia every year." Except for the elders and the young and some that actually need help, Somalis, the only people in the world that would call you (with no reverence with time zones) and explain to you how yous are related and ask you to sent to them. 4 out of 10 would prefer Shaxaad to Shaqo.

    Predestination!

    Viks, Isn’t your destiny prewritten before you even come to existance? Isn’t the promise to either hell or heaven already written down in looxul maxfuuth?
  18. []www.raaliya.com] after following the link, I came across one of their success story which I will quote. My Story Jun 26, 2005 by faisal What initially started out as something to relieve a little boredom and to have some fun turned into one of the most beautiful experiences, one that I will carry with me forever... I have met a lot of people in my life, and honestly thought that I would never meet the person who 'completes' me...one almost accepts that this is your life and how it'll always be... That was until I met the most amazing man on your site, it's still fairly new but I knew from the moment I saw his eyes, (the most beautiful eyes I've ever seen) that he would take me to a place I've longed to be and bring back my smile forgotten... I now firmly believe that it's only after you stop looking for something, that it'll eventually find you?!? There aren't words to describe him really... he is someone/something you have to experience to understand... the most intense eyes, beautiful smile, personality like no other, the deepest of souls, a heart you can't help but love yet so mysterious that you keep coming back for more... he is my enigma!?! Where this road leads, one can't be sure but I know in my heart that it's been worthwhile as my life has been enriched just by knowing him... In the old end... I'll always be able to look back and smile... Thank you!!
  19. Malaysia wants to be a beacon to the Muslim world. It wants to show that a marriage of Islamic piety and liberal modernity—and in particular economic growth—is possible. To hear how it plans to lead Islam out of economic sloth (Islamic countries account for almost 20 per cent of the world's population but only 6 per cent of income) I flew to Kuala Lumpur a couple of weeks ago to attend a conference with the unpromising title of "Implementing the economic agenda of the Muslim world." Can there be a specifically Muslim economic agenda? Surely the problems of Muslim sub-Saharan Africa, of Pakistan and of Indonesia are all so different as to make a nonsense of the idea of a specifically Muslim economic agenda? Listening to Muslim grandees quoting the Koran at each other on the platform at Hotel Nikko did little to ease my scepticism. But a leading French academic, a veteran of these events, explained to me that at a conference dominated by Muslim norms and concerns it is harder for officials and politicians to spend the whole time blaming the west instead of facing up to their own failings. He also said that between the lines, some very important things were being said from the platform. There was certainly a robust discussion of Islamic patriarchy and women's rights led by some indignant Muslim women. And our self-effacing host, Malaysian prime minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, coined the no-nonsense epithet: "A lazy Muslim cannot be a good Muslim." So is a new Islamic Calvinism possible? Surely the tradition-bound Koranic literalism of so much of the Muslim world is a powerful restraint on both science/technology and on entrepreneurialism, two of the key drivers of development. And yet a fundamentalist belief in the literal truth of the Bible did not prevent the Calvinists acting as the European capitalist avant-garde four centuries ago. And if authoritarianism itself were an obstacle to growth, neither China nor most of the Asian tigers would ever have taken off. Islam, I discovered, may have stumbled upon a new economic motor in the shape of Islamic finance. I used to think that Islamic finance was a slightly absurd game—a means to respect the Koranic prohibition on usury by dressing up interest payments as something else, usually fees. It turns it out that it is rather more than that; in fact, it has spawned a big and sophisticated financial sector of its own (Malaysia is a centre of the Islamic bond market). But Islamic finance has a wider symbolic role for Muslim reformers, like Badawi—it shows that you can hold to the underlying principles and values of the religion but adapt those principles to the modern capitalist world so that Muslims need not lose out on prosperity and economic growth. Venturing outside the conference hotel, Malaysia itself certainly seemed to be flourishing as it celebrated its 50th anniversary of independence from Britain. It is growing at nearly 7 per cent a year, and by 2020 intends to join the ranks of the developed world (it will almost certainly be the first majority Muslim country to do so). It is what one might politely describe as a "managed democracy," or a liberal one-party state—the ruling Umno party is not going to lose power in the foreseeable future, but there is an opposition and a half-free press. Relationships between the main ethnic groups (60 per cent Malay, who are mostly Muslim, and 25 per cent Chinese and 15 per cent Indian, who are mostly not Muslims) are also closely managed following the anti-Chinese race riots of the late 1960s. Compared with the last time I was here, about 15 years ago, the country felt more overtly Muslim, with many more headscarves on display. That, according to a Malaysian-born Cambridge-educated writer, is a function of democratisation: "Twenty years ago, the country was still run by a westernised, secular elite. That is not so much the case now. And Malaysia looks much more to India and China for inspiration than to the west." Source
