'Freedom of speech,' my back. No person worth his kastuumo can be insulted, in publishing or in recording, because it is libelous. I can't insult that same person face to face because it is, erm, slandering. And not to mention about 'hate speech.' But nabigeena of all people, insulting him what can come from with the wildest imaginable evil person's mind, it is all in 'freedom of speech' category. Here, they know the limits of this crap piece they call 'freedom of speech.' Limits of Freedom of Speech Does the First Amendment mean anyone can say anything at any time? No. The Supreme Court has rejected an interpretation of speech without limits. Because the First Amendment has such strong language, we begin with the presumption that speech is protected. Over the years, the courts have decided that a few other public interests — for example, national security, justice or personal safety — override freedom of speech. There are no simple rules for determining when speech should be limited, but there are some general tests that help. Clear and Present Danger Will this act of speech create a dangerous situation? The First Amendment does not protect statements that are uttered to provoke violence or incite illegal action. Justice Holmes, speaking for the unanimous Supreme Court, stated, “The question in every case is whether the words used are used in such circumstances and are of such a nature as to create a clear and present danger that they will bring about the substantive evils that Congress has a right to prevent.” Fighting Words Was something said face-to-face that would incite immediate violence? In Chaplinsky v. New Hampshire, the Supreme Court stated that the “English language has a number of words and expressions which by general consent [are] ‘fighting words’ when said without a disarming smile. … Such words, as ordinary men know, are likely to cause a fight.” The court determined that the New Hampshire statute in question “did no more than prohibit the face-to-face words plainly likely to cause a breach of the peace by the addressee, words whose speaking constitute a breach of the peace by the speaker — including ‘classical fighting words,’ words in current use less ‘classical’ but equally likely to cause violence, and other disorderly words, including profanity, obscenity and threats.” Jurisdictions may write statutes to punish verbal acts if the statutes are “carefully drawn so as not unduly to impair liberty of expression.” Libel and Slander Was the statement false, or put in a context that makes true statements misleading? You do not have a constitutional right to tell lies that damage or defame the reputation of a person or organization. Obscenity In June 1973 in Miller v. California, the Supreme Court held in a 5-to-4 decision that obscene materials do not enjoy First Amendment protection. In Miller v. California (1973), the court refined the definition of “obscenity” established in Roth v. United States (1957). It also rejected the “utterly without redeeming social value” test of Memoirs v. Massachusetts. In the three-part Miller test, three questions must receive affirmative responses for material to be considered “obscene”: Would the average person, applying the contemporary community standards, viewing the work as a whole, find the work appeals to the prurient interest? Does the work depict or describe sexual conduct in a patently offensive way? Does the work taken as a whole lack serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value?

Gabdhaheena maxee saan iskugu raqiisiyeen ilaa hadda la yaabanahay. Look at what they are discussing in non-Soomaali forums: Somalian women and marriage I have noticed in America and the uk that alot of them are doing everything 2 marry white men no matter in what shape they come...i see them in mosques litarally asking for white men and not even caring about there imaan i'm not a somalian nor am i judging them but why are they acting these way? i dont see pakistani and arab sisters being so desperate Ilaa hadda wax aanan fahmin was why the reverts only go after Soomaali sisters. It seems it is pretty much, much, much easier to get them than other communities. Iyagiina, the sisters, weyba isla qumanyihiin. Just look at this thread. Shuud. No Soomaali sister would tolerate any jaamac giving her a kitaab for meherka. But to reverts who gave them kitaab for meher, no questions asked, oo sidii xaraash camal la iskugu dhiiboyaa, meher iyo soori iyo yaradba midkood haba sheegin. Plus xiriirka reerkeeda xataa waa laga goynaa, fully controlling her. Markee iswaashana (and in the end wey iswaaleysaa because waa Soomaaliyee oo xornimo kusoo koreenee), banaanka ayuu u soo tuuraa. Iyadoo ka shaleysay ayee reerkeeda orod iyo raaligelin ugu soo noqoneysaa.

Aargada II -- dankis to Talyaaniga again. Masaajidka Isbaheysiga -- all thanks to Sacuudiga.

Go' ma'aha ee waa cimaamad, the Soomaali version. It is an updated version of old Soomaali cimaamado. The old design pre-war had less intricate designs and more blunt. So the new ones has more designs and looks more beautiful. Didn't you read this that I posted on above: Cimaamadahaas Soomaalida bas isticmaasho, iyagaana saas u saarto. And I am glad to say more and more people are using this cimaamad than the Sacuudi, Khaliiji and Falastiini versions, to make a statement. Even Barbaarta didn't like this cimaamad because apparently it promotes the distinct Soomaali culture. You would hardly see any Barbaarta wearing cimaamad like this.

Blue, true, true, sister. Back in Diseembar of last year, I was driving my sister to the airport. She was going back to London where she lives at. You can't believe how many islaamo showed up at the airport, many of them who she didn't even know her personally. See, they also said their 'goodbyes' at where the sister was staying, still they came to the airport in one large van. Ar diyaaradaha and anything to do with it waala wada jecelyahay. Xaaji, we will see.

He has poorly reconstructed 'wings' too. Still a major problem. It is human nature to fear as long as we are not standing on a solid ground. Even standing on balconies and looking down, to some humans, it is anxious feeling albeit being in a relatively safe place.

We are talking about 'foreign' visits, particularly foreign capitals. Travelling within Soomaaliya kama hadleyno now, which I am sure he will in no time.

We can forgive if he flies within the next few days. Soomaalida these days by nature love diyaaradaha iyo dhoofka, from madaxweynahooda to muqalas-smuggled person. That is why we also love to work at the airports, from airport limo drivers to security gate people. I hope, however, he won't be like the last three transitional leaders, whose air mile points rivaled to any decent multinational CEO. i think he will go to America first than to Ethiopia than to Kenya than to Turkey than Uganda. Of course the annual Qaramada Midoobay meetings late in this month. But before they flew to New York, the past Soomaali transitional presidents usually flew to Nayroobi first as a transit. I hope he breaks this too. Fly via Istanbuul.

Where would the new madaxweyne fly first? We all know sooner than expected he will fly to some capital city, right after he names the new ra'iisul wasaare or even before. But to which capital city? I hope he flies to Istanbuul/Ankara to make a bold statement of the new found appreciation of what walaalaha Turkiga are doing in Soomaaliya. And I hope this becomes a new tradition too, same way each new leader in Jarmalka or Faransiiska mutually fly to one another's respective capital cities. Same with Canadian and American leaders, who first foreign travel is Washington (if Canadian) or Ottawa (if American) after being elected.

The key word is 'walking.' Let's see if it would be the same on ten feet above the ground with a strong dabeel.

It gets turbulent after the plane passes where Koonfurta Suudaan's border is because buuraha u dhow Nayroobi. It is mini-turbulent and I keep forgetting each time until I experience again. Ducooyin ayaa bilaabaa. Nothing scarier than a plane 37,000 feet above the ground shaking violently and unexpectedly.

Tallaabo;868720 wrote: Quebec had a referendum to separate from Canada and the international community was willing to accept them. Nah. Clarity Act passed by the Canadian parliament states otherwise. The key points of the legislation included the following: Giving the House of Commons the power to decide whether a proposed referendum question was considered clear before the public vote; Specifically stating that any question not solely referring to secession was to be considered unclear; Giving the House of Commons the power to determine whether or not a clear majority had expressed itself following any referendum vote, implying that some sort of supermajority is required for success; Stating that all provinces and the First Nations were to be part of the negotiations; Allowing the House of Commons to override a referendum decision if it felt the referendum violated any of the tenets of the Clarity Act; The secession of a province of Canada would require an amendment to the Constitution of Canada. In other words, impossible now.
