    That was a tongue-in-cheek order to Afromali. And the name is Fidel, please. I'm not going around calling you A-Fataah, am I?

     

    Cheers!

    Ms. Kab-kaneeco, that's fabulous. Mine would be Fidel G. Unit. Ducaqabe is right though. All I see in the politics section is we're from this quadrant and that quadrant in so and so city. With the help of GPS technology (Grandma Positioning System), I can narrow that down to a single jilib. But I see no harm in that. It's all good. Whatever gets you off! If having others know your tribe is erotic to you, by all means, share it.

     

    That's me laba kumi iyo taano.

    You're definetly a party pooper alright. Let me edjumacate you. Climbing a mountain, more than the literal difficulty involved is a symbol of endurance, perseverance, and self control. Something we potentially all have in us.

     

    Feeding those in Niger is a matter of having money. It takes a lot of it to feed 2.5 million.

     

    Kapish?

    Well, mine probably is, although my father assures me that he comes from a very straight, very clean line. Then he went and married my mum, he says. All good things must come to an end, he says. The old codger!
    :D

    How funny that is. My mother always said her perfect genes were polluted by our father's. I think she was thinking, narrowly, along clan lines though. Pity. But this study is much larger than that. Looking at genetic markers, you might find that you are related to people who live in Kyrgystan now more than many of your kinsmen. That's what I find most interesting.

     

    As for being Cuban, I have no doubt whatsoever. Between Cigars, Salsa, Socialism and the most beautiful people on earth. I can't be from anywhere else.

    I'm curious as to what story my genes have to tell.

    It's known that all humans came from Africa originally, but what's interesting in this study is that you might find out your more recent ancestors came from elsewhere. In other words, you might actually be "Asian" or "European" more recently, or as in my case, Cuban.

     

    Very interesting indeed!

    That's right, rhymes with Fifi Abdo. Now that's a woman I loved growing up!

     

    I see that a lot of nomads are coming out of the closet with this Arabic thing. ;)

    Ohh. That's sweet. I'll look for one in the apple store here. I like your arabic quotes though. My arabic has been rusting for decades now but I plan to resurrect it from the dead!

    Very cool indeed. Testing .... انا لا اعتقد.ق

     

    That's awesome indeed. A little tedious to write as I spent a long time looking for the letters. Now I know the trick!

     

    Hehehe. Thanks

    Haddad, fortunately, I'm using MacOS X (i have an apple laptop). Do you know of anything out there for macs? My search came up empty.

     

    Thanks!

    No worries there mate. The chances of either happening are both infinitely small. :D

    I used to have a Somali passport. It was big, black and long. No, I'm not talking about a sexual organ here. People actually referred to it as "madoobe dheere". Imagine that!

     

    On our trip to "seek assylum" in the west, we crossed many international borders. In fact, we saw many foreigners carrying passports that came in every shape and color. Do you want to know what helped us get over the ridicule and condescending remarks of immigration officers all over the globe? It was the fact that our passports were bigger, blacker and longer than theirs. That's right.

     

    Alas, we don't have them anymore. We had to surrender them when we were granted assylum. It was a bitter sweet moment. I wonder where my madoobe dheere is now.

  13. Soomal and Lidia, listen up:

     

    I thought she said a good thing,

    But he didn't like it at all,

    And so I came to see them and listen for a while.

    And there he was this big boy

    Spanking her before my eyes,

    Strumming my pain with their fingers,

    Pissing me off with their words,

    Killing me softly with his post,

    Killing me softly with her post.

     

    Now cut it out you two.

  14. My heart bleeds for all those who died for oil, diamonds or hegemony but killing even more innocent people is not the answer. Ngonge cloyingly presented a simple maxim and I accept it. I'm done talking about this shit.

    This article sums it up great.

    But not without some inconsistency. Have another look:

     

    Efforts to link the bombs in London to Britain ’s involvement in Iraq are worthless and a badly timed justification.

     

    contradicts

     

    Certainly, the Iraq war provided the impetus and helped with funding and propaganda

     

    Only the most racist of all Brits would actually say something like:

     

    Terrorists and their sympathizers decided to abuse the government’s lax attitude and its open door policy for extremists

     

    That smacks of anti-immigration rhetoric and it couldn't possibly be the root cause of terror. Wouldn't you agree?

     

    A for effort. D for making sense.

     

    Sorry 7, I'm saturated with this whole terrorism thing and I'm being naughty, mean and obnoxious.
