    LOL! Sorry sis, but that's far from true.

     

    That being said, I see that it's that time of the month again for SOL, and that some of these discussions are headed in ugly places, and I have a fever, so I'll keep my interventions to a minimum.


  2. It's not disgusting, it's reality. It's not my place to say this, but it has to be come to terms with.

     

    Humans have been drinking and engaging in promiscuous behavior, regardless of religion or country, ever since the dawn of time. You know it, I know it.

     

    However, you couldn't show it on Youtube before, so maybe that's the part that hurts...


  3. I think the comparison is quite solid. The Lebanese Civil War killed about a quarter of a million people, which is on a similar scale with the civil war in Somalia.

     

    There were atrocities, massacres committed in Lebanon that weren't committed in Somalia. In certain aspects, it was more savage over there during the war.

     

    It was a war that reflected deep divisions within the Lebanese people, and a perfect occasion for foreign powers to exert their influence. Just like SOM.

     

    What I'm saying is that, if Lebanon could do it, so can Somalia.

  5. BBC NEWS

    Kenya has denied reports for the UN that many of its citizens are fighting with Somalia's al-Shabab militants.

    "This is propaganda," Francis Kimemia, a senior official at the internal security ministry told the BBC.

    A report to the UN Security Council said leaders of the al-Qaeda-inspired group regularly travelled to Nairobi to raise funds and recruit fighters.

    Al-Shabab controls much of southern Somalia, where it is battling the weak UN-backed government.

    Mr Kimemia told the BBC's Network Africa programme that any al-Shabab leaders who passed through Nairobi would be arrested.

    He also said the Kenyan authorities were closely watching the country's mosques in case clerics sympathetic to al-Shabab were using them to radicalise young Kenyans and Somali refugees, as alleged by the UN Monitoring Group on Somalia.

    Kenya is home to many thousands of Somali refugees, and also has a large ethnic Somali population.

    On Tuesday, suspected al-Shabab militants attacked a Kenyan para-military base near the border with Somalia.


  6. Whatever you do, don't get birds. There's nothing sadder than a bird in a cage.

     

    You should get a ferret! They're absolutely adorable little creatures! Just make sure it doesn't get stuck somewhere or stepped on.
