i am really concerned about this issue! Leaving the 'buzz words' behind for a minute! I am really worried about the tirades of racial remarked being directed at sistas with the niqab. It’s also not safe. Why cant Muslim women dress Islamic and beautiful at the same time. When I see the niqab, I see an object not an individual! Muslims need to adapt their faith with a modern and progressive society like the UK.

The niqab is a ‘mark of separation’. I personally believe it promotes segregation. Islam teaches us to dress modestly; wearing the niqab is neither modest nor safe. People are being attacked in London all the time. TheMarc

The only new 'excitement' you've injected in here is becoming a running joke. I'm going to leave you to it before your bodyguard layzie comes growling in U-Doggy Dogg! You need to stop your ‘hit and runs’ on TheMarc. You asked me to leave you alone and I honoured your words. Now this! You’re pathetic! You seem to think I am here for your amusement, well I am not! You have done nothing but criticise me since I arrived here. You are in two minds matey! If you are you willing to insult TheMarc, be prepared to receive some your way! If not then cut your tirades of self-opinionated bile at once! TheMarc

Ibz, your a typical somali woman! you lacks any sophistication or culture! if you dont like nice guys! maybe you should get yourself a faarax from the merfesh! Postion was already filled but was enquiring about an extention of services! 'TheMarc'

Oh right I get it. I do not advise you start on me my dear, after all we both know in real life I can put my whole hand down your throat and you would not bite. Haa iis kuu kee tiiri dear lad. Is that a threat Ibz, look if you want to hook up just say so! you could potentially have a chance with 'the marc'. I am a nice guy, I like reading, watching romantic films and taking walks by the river. If you think you qualify, send me a status CV, with your interests and why you think you should have a shot with 'the marc' 'the marc'

You as well! Ms.Cynicism? Too much circulation makes the value go down! I need to create value in scarcity, so for this reason I won’t insult you today!, but there is a possiblity that i could insult you tommorrow! marc

Originally posted by chubacka: Marcus, can you insult me as well plz. I feel like I am being left out thankyou in advance. it could be me but i have detected a slight hint of sarcasm in the quote above! for this reason i won't inflict you with my tirades of self-opinionated bile. i don't think your worthy of such insults and slandering! keep your head maybe next time eh marc

You’re an instigator, stop stirring trouble between people! Have you not got anything better to do then to quote from these threads! At least come up with something new! Marc

I have been on Facebook since August 2006. If you wish to add me, i am not that difficult to find!, its a way of life. i use it for all sorts of purposes: i have met people through fb, its also a fantastic tool for advertising! i am gonna go and check my account right now, brb! marc

Serenity, I am not here to make enemies!, it was a bit of harmless fun. dont get angry! marc

C.G, I an sick of tirades of self-opinionated bile!, you were never gonna deliver on your words! i had you down as honourable according to close sources! marc

C.G, i am afraid you've now losted your pimp status! what kind of a pimp are you. Move over, there is a new pimp in town and this pimp is willing to offer you test drives as well 10% discount on all products! marc! NGONGE: As retarded as you might be! this was an intentional error! its called word play matey!

C.G, You offered and I enquired as to the price of your product, my dear friend! Isn’t that how deals are sealed. Or do you want me to try the product first and then give you feedback on its quality!

Why 'No comment' Ms. Cynicism! Doesn’t the state of European political affairs sicken you! America might be invading other countries around the world. But it’s a much better society to live in. I don’t feel wanted in Europe anymore.

You both pathetic! Do you get kicks from this type of thing (kinky)! Anyways I am defiantly up for an introdution into serenity! Let me know where and how much! lol marc

Originally posted by Centurion: Marc (i envisage a change to 'Somalia's last hope' before too long ) has caused a bit of a stir since he blundered into SOL with his promotional threads. Credit where credit is due though, he's putting a lot of effort into 'representing his views to the mainstream' , but i doubt he's caused as much of a ripple as he'd like to think- for all his 'bringing in to the ppl' and 'using a new medium',unfortunately it will take a lot more than some unhelpful(see 'Eurotrash') amateur vids by a grandstanding student i'm afraid. But it's a start, we shouldnt dismiss his or anybody's attempt to understand what's happening to Somali communities- the semblance of genuine concern amongst this new generation in itself is something to be glad about- though his words be unconstructive and ignorant at times. ^ perfect example of a self-hating somali! marc :cool:

I don’t follow American politics very much but I am intrigued by on-going of these primaries. I want Obama to win but I don’t think that will happen! If he did win, that would be amazing! A black president, 40 yrs after the civil rights! Whatever doubts you have about America, at least it’s a progressive society unlike Europe! Where they are bugging democratically elected M.Ps. It sickens me; the state of European political affairs makes you want to yarn for something different and dynamic like America. marc

this is a really good groups. Thanks for the invite L.X. marc

Originally posted by NGONGE: ^^ Will you do a video on the topics LX suggested? What are your opinions on Somali girls, single mothers and education? Lily, now I saw your response I really hope he does one about single mothres. I dont think its appropriate to talk about issues affecting the family. We all have mothers, sisters and wives, to say rude and disrespectful things is unnecessary, unwarranted and unacceptable. Single mothers and girls gone wild are personal choices and not my business! This type of thing bring shame on our community, me talking about it, will not help the situation but will exacerbate it further! marc

Originally posted by +Faheema: ^ Entertaining he certainly was, now I am tired of his 'tirades of self-opinionated bile!' Many SOLers seem to think I am here for amusement purposes and to entertain them. This is completely contrary to what I am trying to achieve. The only difference between other SOLers and myself is that I have used youtube as a medium and means to projects my opinions on what I see to be the real issues facing our communities. While many of you may see my alleged tirades as hysteria and a mode of attention seeking, at least my views are being represented to the mainstream. Many SOLers make up their tirades of self- opinionated bile in a darkly lit room, with a cups of coffee, or Somali tea for company. If you have message to deliver make sure that it reaches wide audience not just the elite of somali bloggers. I am not at fault for expressing my concerns! While many may disagree with my views. I firmly believe not only am I educating people about issues facing Somalis but also the majority of Somalis universally accepts my views. I am a voice of reason, in what is otherwise an irrational world. Marc

Originally posted by Skipper: give the lad a chance will ya. Marca is sort of playing the role of che gueavera of sol, and i am sure that the sol adm need any character it can get, given that he/she abides to the so called golden rules. This is just absured! are you out your mind my friend! Despite these baseless allegations directed at Marc from SOL haters, it’s important to note that the reason Marc hides his identity is not for fear of retribution but rather due to modesty and self-reservation. If people are throwing insults without any substantial evidence that just ridiculous. If you have nothing good to say don’t say anything! I dont want to hear your tirades of self-opinonated bile! Thanks for all your suggestions, really appreciate them. Marc

Dear SOLers, I have now become a nomad on SOL. I thank you all for your tirades of self-opinionated bile that prompted my responses. I would particularly like to thank the following for their support in the little time i have spent on this forum: LZG U-Doggy Dogg NGONGE Northerner Ninbrown Thepoint (Aka the Shrimp) Umm Zakaria Ibtisam The guy from Boston with the blue Somali flag The guy with the two penises And all the others! Additionally, i would like to seek your advice on what issues I should cover my youtube channel, I haven’t made a film in a while, so if you guys could recommend a subject matter, I would appreciate that! Thanks Marc

I am sorry if i offended you umm Zakaria, people often assume the worse when they don’t know you personally. i didn’t know you were who ibtisam said you were, nonetheless, its rude and unacceptable to be rude to people i suppose. i offer you my warmest apologies. Ibtisam, just as the thepoint mentioned so clearly, you don’t know what your missing! marc
