Libaax-Sanka There is nothing hard about your question, the somali people or whomever is related to these so called delagates need to know and will know, no matter what the cost is. The cost being, their so called right to have privacy. These men gave up their right to have any sort of privacy the minute they decided to go out of their marriage and commit adultery and risk their family's lives.(I'm sure most of these men who were infected are married, and do have wives, children, and possibly grandchildren) You talked about the odayaasha's fundamental human right to have a privacy, what about the right of those they are harming as we speak??? Don't they have a right to be informed??? I will disagree with anyone who so much as talks about these so called men's right to have privacy, knowing that they could be harming an innocent wife of theirs who probably is pregnant with an unborn child and that child could be infected...WHAT ABOUT THE UNBORN's right to have a life of no complications??? I think the list of names should be publicized, if not publicly then for the immediate families. If I could get the names of these men, I wouldn't hesitate to go to the closest Somali Newspaper with it.

I was told by a very reliable source of mine that there is indeed a rumor involving the somali Delagation party that is meeting in Kenya that came in contact with the Aids virus. I'm not sure if this so called rumor is old/new or even true, but I wanted to know if any of you heard about it. It seems that the somali delagation party(consisting of the usual odayaasha) who did attend the meeting In kenya ended up having unprotected sex and therefore contacted the virus. Majority of the delagates were tested for the virus and did come out positive but a small percentage refused to be tested, therefore are infact on denial.(my first instinct was just to laugh because I didn't think it was possible for a group of odayaal to behave this way, but after all, they are in kenya, and anything is possible down there)

#22 HAPPY RAMADAN TO YOU ALL.

I decided to quote Lefty's question because it's an excellent question. If some or the most people can't understand the meaning of your messages, what's the point of decoding them. If people can't understand the level of language that is written in the post, then decoding those words is an added advantage to one's vocabulary Lefty.(it's just another forum of a self teaching tool) Just how many of you actually thought about improving your vocabulary at some point in time?? How many of you use the dictionary as often as two or three times a week??? If the above statement doesn't describe the nomads, you might want to take full advantage of what's infront of your pc screen because there might come a time of regret and by then it might be too late to thank Sophist.

"Alas, SHE SAID HE IS AN ARROGANT"? (LOL@"AN ARROGANT") Whether or not you were attacked directly or indirectly sophist, I don't see why you had to open a new thread just to justify your ways of writing and declare your intensions. If you wanted to address a certain character in this forum, you should have done it right there and then. (JUST BECUZ SOME OF YOU MIGHT HAVE TIME ON YOUR HANDS, DOESN'T MEAN THAT IT'S ALRIGHT TO OPEN NEW THREADS FOR THE SOLE PURPOSE OF MAKING THIS FORUM LOOK TRASHY) I honestly don't have a problem with anyone's written level of language and quite frankly, I find your language of writing rather entertaining and humorous.(I hardly recall reading any of your posts before this whole mess of "HE SAID/SHE SAID" STARTED WITH YOU AND THAT OTHER PERSON. In the future, I would advice you not to pay attention to every little detail that is said about you, it just might make others question one's actual confidence in themselves.(I SEE THAT YOU ARE LACKING SELF-CONFIDENCE, AND YOU MIGHT WANT TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THAT)

You really are a funny character, SEctioner... You went from being one of Kobe's stronger outspoken supporters to "HATING THE FOOL" as u put it. When will you pple get through your thick skulls that under no circumstance can you mention a rape victim's sexual history before a rape takes place...and whatever kobe's defensive team is worth, they shouldn't have used that point in court, knowing full well there was a chance that it might backfire...(and indeed it did) Sectioner, what did you meant when u wrote TIMBERWOLVES>LAKERS??? All of a sudden u gonna get into the wolves side, because lakers are no longer a playoff contenders becuz of kobe???LOL U ARE A JOKE..(EVEN I, a laker-hater still believe lakers are very much a stronge contender for the western playoff picture...with or without kobe in jail) WHAT WOULD KOBE, SPRITE AND NIKE DO NOW, SECTIONER?LOL IS HE GONNA MAKE MONEY FOR NIKE???TELL US HOW MUCH??? WILL SPRITE SUPPORT AN ALLEGED RAPIST??? LOL U SEEM TO BE ALL OVER THE COURT, U HAVE TO MAKE UP YOUR MIND, U CANT KEEP ON GOING AND MAKING LAME EXCUSES EVERYTIME U ARE WRONG... U CAN'T BLAME COLORADO JUDGE's..OR WHETHER OR NOT IT SITS INFRONT OF A GRAND JURY BRAH...(BLAME THE DEFENSIVE TACTICS AND THE LOW BLOWS THAT KOBE'S DEFENSIVE TEAM USED IN COURT)

GEDIID, if your intentions were to somehow get some sort of a piece by piece paragraphs from folks around here, then I really feel sorry for you brah. CHEATING WILL NOT GET YOU ANYWHERE, NOT WHEN WE ARE AT A TIME WHERE OUR OWN PRIVACY IS AT JEOPARDY. (YOUR INSTRUCTOR, WHOEVER HE/SHE MIGHT BE ISN'T STUP*D , SHE WILL KNOW JUST BY READING THE FIRST FEW LINES OF YOUR PAPER WHETHER U WROTE IT OR NOT, YOU BETTER RE-THINK ABOUT YOUR SITUATION) I SUGGEST U TAKE DARMAN's ADVICE AND I APOLOGIZE FOR WASTING MY FEW MINUTES TO TRY AND HELP U OUT BY GIVING YOU SOME SORT OF AN OUTLOOK ON THE WHOLE PAPER WITHOUT GIVING AWAY ANYTHING...AND ALL ALONG U HAD CHEATING ON YA MIND... I FEEL SORRY FOR THE FOLKS WHO POSTED BEFORE ME THAT ADVICED THE BROTHA TO CHEAT...IF THATS YOUR WAY OF HELPING HIM OUT, WHY BOTHER POSTING ANYTHING TO BEGIN WITH???

If its mandatory for you to relate your essay with the story "killings", then u have no other choice but to start reading the book. (Library is your best bet) A LIL PRIVIEW ABOUT YA PAPER" IS MURDER JUSTIFIED"? Personally, I would say that murder can be justified if the actual jusfitication serves an actual worthiness. Anything can be excused,even murder at times, and it has been proven in the past. The question is, who jusfities that a crime as hanes as murdering another human being can be justified??? Society, because society would excuse anything that relates to emotions of humanity. If you are a juror, and u are capable of hearing the evidence put infront of u and therefore were told to consider a verdict, what would your methods be GEDIID?(THATS A STEP U OUT TO TAKE BEFORE YOU BEGIN THIS ESSAY OF YOURS) Personally, I would put myself on the murderers shoes, and ask myself, am I capable of doing that?? Is it a possibility and if infact there is that small percentage of doubt in my mind, I WOULD JUSTIFY THAT CRIME COMMITTED BY THE MONSTER AND SAY WELL, WE ARE HUMANS MAYBE IN HIS/HER CASE THIS WAS INFACT POSSIBLE AND WOULD EXCUSE IT AND THATS WHAT SOCIETY DOES, THEY LOOK THE OTHER WAY, INSTEAD OF DEALING WITH THE SITUATION AND THATS WHAT OCCURED IN THE NOVEL "KILLINGS"... I don't mind helping you out, but by helping do u mean that U want to know a short version of the novel, if thats what u were aiming for, U gonna have to find a different approach. I read the novel, loved it and even rented the movie a while back....but what I am basically trying to say here is that I, strongly advice u to read the book. Not only will it give u an inside depth but it will put you on the right frame of mind to get started on your paper.(HOW ELSE ARE YOU GONNA HAVE A STRONG THESIS AND HOW WOULD U SUPPORT THAT ARGUMENT?) I can also recommend u read or find something related to a book called "A Rose for Emily" by William Faulkner. I am sure it isn't that hard to find, but the stories have similar settings and incase u don't have time to find "Killings", u can always read the faulkner novel. ( the only reason I am suggesting it becuz u might not have time on your hands and incase u get to your local library u might not find Dubus's novel but might infact find Faulkners) Both novels, Faulkner's and Dubus's have the same settings, both in a small town. BOTH MATT AND EMILY'S FAMILY WERE wELL KNOWN AROUND TOWN, AND IT WAS A LIL HARD TO BELIEVE THAT THEY WERE CAPABLE OF COMMITTING THE CRIMES AND THEREFORE WERE SET FREE. THE CHARACTERS IN BOTH NOVELS, FAULKNERS AND DUBUS's, ARE INFACT DIFFERENT AND THE CRIMES ARE DIFFERENT, SOME WOULD AGREE THAT EMILY'S CRIME IS LESS EXCUSABLE THAN THAT OF MATT's... I DON'T WANT TO GET CARRIED AWAY HERE, GEDIID, BUT I DO HOPE THAT U HAVE TIME ON YOUR HANDS AND INFACT CAN GET THROUGH THE NOVEL LONG ENOUGH TO START YOUR PAPER

SECTIONER...U ought to hear what you are writing brah..."HER PRIVATE PARTS WERE TORN BECUZ OF A PAC-MAN". U sure u don't want to share your insider tips with the defensive team, they could really use that infront of a jury. KOBE BUYING HIMSELF OUT OF HIS OWN CONTRACT IS THE SAME WAY AS HIM BEING LEFT OUT IN THE COLD...(I DOUBT THAT AT KOBE'S STAGE, THAT IT IS JUST ABOUT THE MONEY...NO NO FOLKS, THIS IS BIGGER THAN JUST BENJAMIN FRANKLIN...THIS HAS TO DO WITH THE FRONT MAN OF ADIDAS, THAT BEING T-MAC. IF THE COMPANY THAT GIVES U YOUR BIGGEST ENDORSEMENT DEAL NO LONGER HAS THE FOCUS ON U, AND U ARE SMART, U WILL BUY YOURSELF OFF THE CONTRACT AND DO WHATEVER IT TAKES AND THATS WHAT KOBE DID... GETTING BACK TO THE OTHER ENDORSEMENT DEALS THAT HE IS INVOLVED IN...FOR INSTANCE, NUTELLA...NOW ONE OF ITALY's BIGGEST MANUFACTURING COMPANIES WAS QUICK TO MAKE A JUDGEMENT CALL AS SOON AS TROUBLE WAS SPOTTED IN KOBE'S DIRECTION AND AS A RESULT, HE IS OUT OF IT... WHAT'S NEXT FOR THE BIG BOY??? SPRITE, AND MANY MORE WILL FOLLOW THAT PATH... BY THE TIME THE DUST SETTLES HE WILL BE WORTH AS FAR AS HIS OWN A*S CAN TAKE HIM

SecTIONER...was it just my eyes or did u write something to the lines of KOBE BEING WORTH "BILLIONS"??? U say u ain't a fan of his but u write nonsense about a man who couldn't even find a good endorsement deal with Adidas becuz they spend more money on T-Mac, their franchise money maker, and as a result Kobe, who happens to have signed with ADIDAS BEFORE T-MAC EVER DID, just happened to be left out in the cold FOR T-MAC, do u still think the man is worth BILLIONS??? (U are a joker, sectioner) I don't want to get all biased up in here, and it is true that I don't like him as a player, but as far as skills is concerned, I will have to take the fifth on that issue... Even millionaires are the loniest of all, an anti-social freak, who happens to aliene everyone, including his own teammates, can't force himself on a woman??? Why not??? Remember, they have her blood on his t-shirt, and her Vagina area was bruised badly and she had marks on her neck, and that means he actually tried to choke her to maybe scare her not to make a sound while he was getting his...(HE PROBABLY IS A RAPIST, BUT HE SURE AIN'T A DUMB RAPIST TO HAVE NOT USED A CONDOM, EVEN SERIAL RAPIST USE CANDOMS...MAYBE HE THOUGHT HE WAS GONNA GET HER TO BED EASILY BUT WHEN SHE TRIED TO BACK OUT OF IT, IT WAS PROBABLY TOO LATE AND HAD HIS CONDOM ON, HE WASN'T BOUT TO TAKE A COLD SHOWER, SO HE WENT AHEAD WITH THE PLANS, WITH OR WITHOUT HER.) U brought up a good point about no one hearing her screams in the ROOM, but he wasn't staying at your typical motelroom, where u can even hear the sounds in the next room...HE WAS AT A RESORT LODGE, a PRIVATE, EXCLUDED AREA FOR THE RICH AND FAMOUS OR SO I HEAR...

Goodness ShyHem, Illaah ha u naxariisto your father. My condolences goes out to you and your family Brah, may allah Bless his soul.

Sectioner, I resend the fact that u calling ya self a sixer, BOYYY.

HAYE HAYE HAYE, KOOL KAT!!! I didn't think you were gonna turn this bitter with the short time I was away from you, but don't you worry about a thing sista, I am here to stay...(MISSED U 2) PS: NOTICE HOW I HAVEN'T WRITTEN ANYWHERE ON MY LAST POST ABOUT MYSELF...EXCEPT TO CLARIFY ONE OR TWO THINGS TO YA...BTW, I JUST DIDN'T RETURN AS U PUT IT, I'VE BEEN BACK SINCE LAST WEEK.

Amenah, I don't think you had kool kat's digits mixed up... The man at the dollar store was her landlord, she lives just right up the second floor to the dollar store...and gets her calls coming through the store during the day.. Kat, are u referring to edgware road? The carab place? thats a hot spot, u ain't never gonna get tired of walking and seing arabs after arabs... You will definitely crack up when you walk passed the Mcdonalds that are located at Edgware road, all ARABS with KHAMIIS, a lil scary...for a second there I thought I was in dubai...

I do endless things,but I would really like to travel in the future, because I have gotten a lil taste of it this summer and I hate to see my vacation ending, but I don't mind doing it frequently, because I have so much to see, and there is so much out there waiting to be explored...and oooh goooooodness, gracious, let me win some keno, some lotto 649 or something, so that my dream can finally come true...

lol@opinionated... Rebel, I don't see a problem here... if you were indeed, and I think you are Victim Number #1 aka Farah1,then you obviously can't hold a grudge over Victim Number #2 aka Farah2. (U've said it all, and by that I meant y'all weren't friends, not close friends that mattered to each other, and I don't see why you have to get hurt by Victim #2's happiness with the girl...I don't think Victim #2 has done anything wrong, and he shouldn't put his life on hold for your own bruised ego..) If everyone who ever got dumbed decided that it wasn't fair for the person who dumbed them to find happiness else where, then no one would have had a relationship in this crazy world we live in. Even if the person who did dumb you went out with your couzin by faith, and you u were to find out later, it shouldn't get in the way of your couzin and the girl's happieness, becuz u have been there once, it didnt work out and its time to give someone else a chance....(I used your couzin as an example, not that would ever happen to u, god forbid...)

I am not gonna get y'all to guess my all-time favourite final game... Even to this day, I still look back on it whenever I am watching b-ball and what else would I be talking about other than the 98 bulls final against the Jazz...(may I remind u, I was cheering for the jazz for two consecutive yrs and I thought 98 was their moment to shine) The reason I love that game to this day is because bulls were down by 3 points, under a minute to go, MJ got possesion of the ball and made a jumper, still down by 1, jazz took possesion of the ball, missed their shot on the other end, and it was back to bulls, again who better than mj to take the shot, by now it was a lil less than 40seconds, mj missed the jumper and jazz took possesion of the ball, mj goes to malone, steals right from his hands takes it back to take a jumper and at that time it was brian russel who had him covered, mj takes a step back and takes a nice long jump over russel's face, the fadeaway done to russel made him slip to da floor, thats how powerful of a fadeaway it was, at that time all russel could do was raise his chin and look up to see da beauty of mj's touch...AMAZING...I even taped it, gotta be one of my all time favourites, but I love the 97final just as much, that last shot given to steve kerr by mj, that was another magical moment...I gotta say, that game indeed took the breath away from pple, no one can quite take that moment and make it as beautiful as mj has over the years. I would have never imagined for kerr to take it, much less make the jumper. PS:NOTHING CAN BEAT THE 93 FINALS AGAINST SUNS, LOL THAT TOPS IT ALL... I WASN'T EVEN A BULLS FAN, I WAS SIMPLY AN MJ AND PIPPEN FAN, AND IMA BE FANS OF THEIRS FOR LONG TIME TO COME, AND THATS THE ONLY REASON I'VE BEEN HOPING FOR BLAZERS TO COME OUT AND EXPLODE THE PAST 3 SEASONS...BUT HAS IT HAPPENED YET??? (I HOPE PIPPEN PACKS UP THIS TIME)

A 32 yr old “man”, and notice how I emphasize man, opens a threat regarding his avatar, and confesses that it isn’t him in the avatar but of someone else’s. What were you trying to achieve, NIN YABAN??? Why would you want to use another man’s picture as an avatar, unless that is really you and you are using humor as a escape goat. Nevertheless, this isn’t funny, if that is you in the picture, you are not a 32 yr old, you look as thought u are in your late 30's or early 40's. Either way, I feel sorry for you or anyone else who finds this matter funny.

He tells me that, HAVING ME IN HIS LIFE MAKES HIM HAPPY AND COMPLETE.... I guess that answers your question

My summer vacation starts next week, I will be in finland/sweden/denmark for about two months, but mostly finland, then I am off to UK FOR A MONTH...I will definitely try to go either france or germany while I am in London...if not, Ima be happy with my original destination, because I haven't visited any of these countries before and there is much to explore. ENJOY YOUR HOLIDAYS EVERYONE AND BE SAFE...

I know for a fact that my sis and her friend use to be regulars here...becuz thats how I came about the forum!!! one of my homegrls is a member as well...but I didn't know until I enjoyed it myself... My b/f occasionally visits and reads my posts...he is my #1 fan...and thats about all the pple I know, but I am not ashamed of anyone of them reading my posts becuz I have nothing to hide, and it isn't as if I am doing anything out of the ordinary...

OPINIONATED GOT ME BUGGED OUT... I picked #3... multiple by 9=27 Add 2+7=9 Subtract by 5=4 The letter of the Alphabet I was guessing was a D... Name of the Country that came to mind immediately was Dominican Republic !!! An animal that starts out with Letter C = Cat, came to mind immediately...but for some reason I got stuck with a fruit that starts with the letter "T"...(i am still buggin ) Just as I was beating my head over what fruit it was, I decided to scroll down anyway, and I was way off about the answer, therefore I wasn't common...but unique as ever... I, then decided to scroll down to read what the rest of the posters had to say, and when I got to reading OPINIONATED's POST...I WAS LIKE "GET THE HELL OUT", but then I got to thinking that neither the country nor the animal Cat was uncommon, especially after Miss Universe 2003 from Dominican Republic was crowned earlier in the week... I got a question for OPINIONATED though!!! I wanted to know HOW U CAME ABOUT PICKING THE LETTER "D"???

Then there are those whom their personality in Somaliaonline represents their personality in the real life….. Their tasteless and silly replies are a true reflection of .. well..a tasteless and silly personality.. Or their intellectual and interesting topics and replies are factual manifestation of a smart and an interesting personality I don't necessarily agree with "the Tasteless and silly replies " where layzie is concerned, but with me, WHAT YOU READ IS WHAT YOU GET IN REAL LIFE. ACCEPT LAYZIE FOR WHO SHE IS OR DON'T LOOK BACK... I DON'T HAVE TIME TO LIVE A DOUBLE LIFE...AND I AM NOT GOING TO GAIN ANYTHING BY LYING TO MYSELF AND OTHERS....WHETHER IT BE FACELESS STRANGERS FROM PUBLIC FORUMS OR FOLKS DOWN DA BLOCK... THE ONLY THING I FEAR IS ALLAH I AM HUMAN, AND YES I HAVE FLAWS,BUT I LOVE MYSELF TOO DAMN MUCH TO EVER ADMIT TO IT... ...and Layzie's personality will stay intacted for as long as she is breathing.

AyYo Lander, my take on the finals is very simple. NETS HAVE TO PLAY NETS GAME... When nets run, NETS WIN... First of all, I don't know what Coach Scott had for dinner, but surely he was out of it, for one, HE waited until middle of second quarter to put DIKEMBE, when infact he should have putted him the middle/end of the first quarter, atleast give him 2 -3 minutes to warm up, because you can't expect a man who sat out most of the playoffs to produce the minute you ask him to produce(yes yes, these pple are athletes and wait for their moment on the floor but u can't expect dikembe to play dikembe mutombo type of basketball when you are not respecting him) Coach Scott waited until he was out of big men to put dikembe, if it had not been for Aaron Williams, Rodney Rogers and Jason Collins all with 2 fouls a piece, DIKEMBE would probably never seen the time of day on the floor lastnight. (he was a 3rd option for the Center Position when infact dikembe should be starting out but I understand that COllins was putting a show and he should rest Dikembe as much as possibly but at the same time, they should divide the time of play each player gets, instead of waiting for aaron williams and collins to get into foul trouble for dikembe to step up) There is no doubt in my mind that Dikembe not only is disappointed with Scott's decision, but its been like that before he got injured earlier in the season and it's not going to change. Scott wants a win to come to him without working for it, but it ain't gonna happen against the spurs... He can't just ignore the faults that his young players are making, over and over again...He can't afford mistakes, he can't afford for jefferson to take those long jumpshots, and he can't expect jefferson to make them period. u saw the few minutes dikembe was on the floor, he had a block and a much needed offensive rebound...becuz the only one besides KENYON MARTIN WHO IS CAPABLE OF GRABBING OFFENSIVE REBOUNDS IS DIKEMBE, the rest would rather ran the other end and wait for the opponent... If nets do what they are known for, NETS WILL TAKE IT , but if nets keep this up and let RICHARD JEFFERSON shoot a 18footer, when infact he is not a shooter, nor was he ever a shooter, then U will see SPURS DOMINATING THIS SERIES, MATTER OF FACT, SPURS WILL SWEEP THEM IF THEY KEEP THIS UP... NETS GOT LUCKY WITH THE FIRST TWO GAMES OF THE SERIES AGAINST PISTONS, AND AT THE SAME TIME THOSE GAMES DETERMINED THE FAITH OF THE PISTONS. NETS CAN't EXPECT TO GET MIRACLES IN EVERY SERiES, ESPECIALLY AGAINST A TEAM THAT TIM DUNCAN PLAYS FOR...

To the pple that sat behind their screen as they were reading the article at the start of this thread and decided that they had nothing better to say about the girl, instead went ahead to bad mouth her for no apparent reason... Some even went as far as calling the girl "UGLY", but my question to you all is why non of you came out to say that y'all were more attractive than her??? If she is ugly, you must be something close to her looks...and if she looks serious, or skinny, what business is it of yours to come out and say it??? Do any of y'all know this woman??? Is she your sister, your ex, your aunt, your neighbour etc??? Did she ask you pple to post her pictures and then critize her for making a life for herself and her family??? Do you pple think she cares about a punch of nobody opinions?? On top of that, do you think she cares about what a punch of faceless pple have to say about her appearance??? Did jealousy and envy made you all come out and critize her??? When was the last time The Gediid's, The Lakkads, The Clowns, The MrMillenium's, The Nuune's, The Haruun's were runaway models??? When was the last time any of y'all posed for Vogue magazine, because I sure don't recall you pple mentioning any of the above... Just how many of you are making six figure income +++++, how many of you are modelling for Gucci,Yohji Yamamoto, Chanel, Balmain, Ungaro, Givenchy and Valentino, or just how many of you heard of those names I just mentioned??? the clients and editors in Canada who rejected her because of her weight and skin color I recall reading a post from an individual who said that she wasn't good enough for canadians but she sure made it internationally...but my question to you stranger is, since when were canada considered for anything??? WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME CANADA DID ANYTHING FOR PPLE OF COLOR??? JUST AS THOSE CLIENTS AND EDITORS IN TORONTO REJECTED HER FOR BEING TOO DAMN SKINNY OR FOR NOT BEING BLOND ENOUGH OR NOT HAVING BLUE/GREEN EYES...THEY WENT AND TRADED THE BEST PLAYERS THEY EVER HAD ON THEIR ROASTER....(speaking of professional basketball) You name it, sports, entertainment, business, anything that has to do with pple of color, they sure don't see talent when they have it on their hands... I AM SURE YOU FACED DISCRIMINATION ATLEAST ONCE OR TWICE IN YOUR LIFETIME...AND THATS WHAT YASMIN FACED WHEN SHE WAS IN TORONTO...OR ATLEAST THATS WHAT THIS ARTICLE I READ TALKED ABOUT... CANADA DOESN'T KNOW WHAT'S GOOD FOR THEM UNTIL THEY SEE IT FROM SOMEONE ELSe's EYES...(AND YOUR OPINION OR CANADA's OPINION SURE AS HELL DON'T COUNT IN THE GIRL'S EYES...)))
