I am not mystic meg sxb nor can i actually predict the future! but to avoid any issues at the airport just be ready to answer any silly questions they throw your way! On the issue of passport control - the worst offenders are djoubti airport - they once kept me and my mum in the interrogation room for 2 hours! asking silly questions like: Is this your passport? That picture doesnt look like you? Where in the UK do you live? Whats the capital city of Ireland (WTF!!!!!)

Originally posted by -II-: ^Yes, it's difficult and I don't think you gave it much thought Marx ...I expected you to cover all angles..Remember, you're in a desert Island and it's all about survival...therefore, electronics will not be much use to you. Well if its a case of survival, I'll have to take Farhia Fiska to island for reproduction purpose! since according to nin yaaban our population is stagnant! also i would have to take the A-Z to DIY! and some weapons to protection! lol NG: I was talking about the part where you were my age! thats almost 20+!! so must be now be in your mid 40s!

Originally posted by -II-: What three things would you take to a Desert Island? Thats a difficult question actually! But i think: 1. Blackberry 2. Ipod 3. Camera Our whole lives are dominated by technology these days! its hard to imagine life anywhere without being 'connected'! What did people do before the advent of the internet and technology? its hard to imagine!

Originally posted by Oz: M. are we heading towards Depression or we already going through Depression? Although I have never believed in conspiracy theories, I have conjured up one about the economic recession! It thinks a way of changing the discourse on economic development and therefore deliberately impeding the development of developing countries and emerging markets. This whole crisis has shown that capitalism is no longer the dominant force it once was and is not immune to a complete halt!

^^^^^ LOOOOOOOL its only fair! Originally posted by Nephissa: My Q, to you [The infamous interview question] where do you see yourself in 5 years? I am not entirely sure but inshallah, but I want to go into local politics! Also I want to give back something tangible to the Somali community in London in whatever capacity I can!

Originally posted by Blessed*: Marx, why did you only give yourself 3 for your personality? I’m socially recluse! I am not a friendly person not by choice but because I am very quiet and very reserved person! I get along with people in small groups ranging from 1-2. I can’t maintain a conversation with a lot of people! Too much xishood I guess! But to my close personal friends I am gentle, kind and loyal person with a skewed sense of humour! I maintain a line of threshold to judge those who i associate myself with!

Originally posted by -Serenity-: Marx, you're views on SOL often come across as outrageous, quite contradictory and sometimes just shockingly lacking! So, my question is, are the views you write on SOL truly and utterly how you feel and think or do you exaggerate and write outrageous stuff to get a reaction and get a conversation going? Do you play the devils advocate? Originally posted by -Serenity-: Did you ignore my Q? I am guessing you didnt read the disclaimer! Originally posted by -MARX-: Disclaimer – all questions that seek to ridicule will not be answered!

Originally posted by Valenteenah: OK, I will bite as well. Marx, how would rate your looks on a scale of 1 to 10? With 10 being the better end of the scale. [/quote <img src=" Thats me! Looks: 9.6 Personality: 3 Intelligence: 11

Mobutu is my true hero!, his life was perfectly captured in 'In the Footsteps of Mr. Kurtz' My favourite book of all time!! NG: His name is: Mobutu Sese Seko Nkuku Ngbendu Wa Za Banga ("The all-powerful warrior who, because of his endurance and inflexible will to win, goes from conquest to conquest, leaving fire in his wake."). Mobutu Sese Seko for short.

Originally posted by nuune: If you were about to change your name, what would you like it to be? Probably Mobutu

Originally posted by Malika: Marx, There is a debate going on about 'Should homosexual issues be taught in schools, within the sex education module'? -The argument is its to educate and eradicate 'play ground bullying' so to promote understanding and tolerance. Whats your take on that? It's hard enough to try to explain sensitive topics like menstruation and sexual intercourse from the Islamic perspective to our kids. But this is not where sex education ends. Homosexuality has gained greater acceptance as an “alternative lifestyle” in the last 10 to 20 years in Western World. Not only has this mentality affected adults-it is now affecting kids' way of looking at the gay lifestyle as well. Public school sex education, under the rubric of “Family Life Education” generally teaches an acceptance of homosexuality, a respect and/or tolerance for it. As is the case with sex education in general, there is little to no moral guidance on the topic. Just a neutral presentation. Homosexuality, like others matters pertaining to sexuality, is openly discussed in the Quran and Sunnah. We have no excuse as Muslim parents, teachers, community leaders and individuals not to clearly discuss this issue with our kids.

Originally posted by Nin-Yaaban: will SOL be here in 5yrs? SOL will definitely be here in five years inshallah but it needs to recruit new members to keep the place alive. Most of the members of SOL are rather old compared to the average age for internet users. It’s almost like an exclusive online club limited by age. SOL needs a sustainable future – even people like me who older than the ipod generation are considered to be young on this forum. SOL needs to look for a clear and sustainable future. Originally posted by Nin-Yaaban: or better yet, how will SOL change in 5yrs from now? as far as the technology and how we communicate here goes. If anything, there seems to be abundant knowledge in SOL, so maybe it should become a public policy institute for the betterment of Somalia. It might want to increase its services by actually adding more features like music and instant chat and it even publish a monthly on-line pdf format magazine containing articles and features about the social, political and economic, gender and environmental issues in Somalia.

Originally posted by Abtigiis &Tolka: Egal is honest guy. In house, everyone knows Somaliland is about hebel-land. The rest is huubo that needs to be there as a witness of proper territorial demarcation. Xidigo knows this. Marx is either too gulliple or too young to know this. I am fully aware AT&T of this divisive assertions of the triangle of love!!! but the likes of you are intent on causing division of the people using the oldest trick in history! hebel this, hebel that! That just pathetic and truly sickening! People from Awdal have made their minds up! Please respect OUR self-determination! Give peace a chance! We don’t to be part of South Somalia! We are tired of having no rule of law! At least with Somaliland there is some semblance of peace and people leading ordinary lives!, People like you want to destroy but don’t offer any viable and realistic solutions! You have no business meddling in Somaliland affairs!

Originally posted by Thierry.: Marx my question is, Aston Villa is looking very strong this season will Arsenal loose the cherished 4th champions league spot? I think Arsenal have a lot of depth and strength in their team so will probably hang on to the 4th champions league spot! They have a lot of players coming back from injury and this should boost their chances significantly. Aston Villa have proven themselves this season but I don’t think they will have good ending to their campaign this season, they have a lot of tricky teams left to play and this could result in them losing the 4th spot! As a Spurs fan, I hate arsenal but you have to give credit where it’s due! They are a decent team! But in the coming seasons, unless they invest - all their top players will leave and might even finish in mid-table! The thought of that is just so appealing!!
