    Most of you seem to be watching too much Romantic /fictional movies. Don't be disappointed if your well memorized Romeo/Juliet scripts never get close to become reality.

     

    I think this is one of the best Somali Proposes!

     

    Naa hee dheh, Koley talo xumo maalin baa laga war doonaaye, Hadaan waligaa lagu soo nikaaxin, kaalay bal kusoo nikaaxsadee...

     

    And this is how they usually reply like...War balaayo ku aragtayee bal wadaadka inoo gee una sheeg ha dhaqsado koley waqti badan ma heysanee...

     

    That's what I call the best romantic propose! LOL

    LOOOOOOOL@Haniif...

     

    Maybe you haven't associated with them that much.

     

     

    There was this short-haired, tall, Feminist, skinny Somali chic in my neighbor years ago and everyone on the block used to say she's one nasty lezbo. I somehow believed their story since some of the dudes claimed and sweared knowing her better and more deeply than anyone else until me and her happened to meet and chit-chatted couple times and I asked many personal questions to clear things up. Surprisingly, she turned out to be the other way around and very straight person. That's how close I almost met one of them.LOL

    khayr...it's very interesting you brought up this issue.

     

    First..I don't think Somali fathers are the same level as African-Americans. Most somali males are good fathers, loving kids, and good role models. However, some domestic problems always excist and it's part of familyhood, no one is denying that.

     

    In my own personal opinion...I don't think any mentaly-healthy father would abandon his kids by any circumstances but since coming to Western world, some wives believe they can play both roles of parenting and forced some fathers to step aside. Maybe there're other reasons but that's what I believe have caused so many single mothers in diaspora and not in somalia before or after the civil war. I've seen some divorced ladies who won't allow their kids to see their fathers even though the kids asked for it. Some parents keep pointing fingers at each other but the funny thing is how strangely their children would think as they grow up year after year.

    First...The thread about the child abuse that you have posted shouldn't be deleted in my opinion. Criticizing and disagreement are the principal of better discussion and how else an issue is suppose to be debated without looking it in different angles from different of point-views.

     

    Getting back to the issue...Harsh discipline method is one thing and calling every physical use an abuse is another. People like me would always argue that such a tactic results well manner behavior from kids can not be called "ABUSE". My whole point is every parent loves their kids more than anyone else and just because some soceities have their own way of living doesn't mean we have to abandon ours and follow their leads all the time. Some consider touching your daughter without her consent is a sexual/physical/emotional abuse, and there's the contradiction by having more disgrace systems like boot camps and others.

     

     

    As far as the real real real Abuses such as Child, sexual, and other types in Somali community is concerned, well they are known and indeed they have existed and will continue to excist no matter what but it's unfortunate some people to jump up and always circle around things that aren't necessary to waste time like 'we have to accept its existence, we can't deny it..it's shame and blah blah. The bottom line is there's no fix or changeable the variability of a whole society of parenting or even the general behavior like Somalis but every individual should do acceptable lead and the best way of raising their kids. Other than that, I called spoiling and the next thing you know is teenage run-away drama!

    Absolutely, I for one got effected big time. After more than five hours, I thought the armageddon or doomsday thing may have just started. Imagine if this blackout happens during the winter season. No electricity no Water!

     

     

    The word on the street is the real and main cause of this blackout from New-York to Toronto,Ontario is huge problem and already known but government officials are hidden so that the public wouldn't panic....Actually, they said it has nothing to do with terrorist but they won't reveal it Until further notice..Anyway, who else was effected ?
