  1. So far Barack Obamas Presidential Campaign raised $32.5 million as of July 1, beating the TFG Recon Conf. by just $500K. Hillary Clinton managed to scrape together $21 million for the second quarter this year, being behind A/Y & Geedi some hefty $11m.

     

    Jokes aside though it seems to have slipped through some ppl here that although I'm a TFG supporter, I can also at times can be critical of the entity I support. It is constructive criticizm that improves organizations, just as practice makes perfect.


  2. One thing I havent understood yet though, why do all somalis leave chairs and other new stuff in their plastics? lol I've seen everything from remote controls to 3-sit sofas still dressed in that stuff. "Bacdii lagu soo gaday ayaay qabaan" is all you get for a reply :D


  3. Let's ask

    Ayeeyo Wikipedia instead:

     

    Pacification - the process or act of making peace or making someone or something quiet and peaceful

    There was an odd anachrony in the above members post that made his quest of finding supportive data for his statements pretty amusing. Keyword here is the beginning of the Wiki quote of his that states: "In colonial times"...

     

    The funny part is that the posters penchant for logical fallacies manage to present him as a case example of what could be closely described as Orwellian, thereby falling into his own well crafted trap:

     

    Orwellian describes a situation, idea, or condition that George Orwell identified as being inimical to the welfare of a free-society. An attitude and a policy of control by propaganda,
    misinformation, denial of truth, and manipulation
    of the past (including the "unperson"--a person whose past existence is expunged) practiced by modern repressive governments
