  1. Originally posted by LayZieGirl: Hell would freeze over before I end up with a married man, even with his millions, North. Based on the unsupportable premise that what women say and what women do are one and the same. They are not! An apposite example of the hypocracy and duplicitousness of some women is offered to us by Winston Churhill: Perhaps the best Churchillian put-down occurred one evening when he was attending a more than usually dreary dinner. Churchill was being harangued by a young lady with a very strident voice about the state of the poor. Our hero had had a few sips of shandy, and, whilst not exactly as relaxed as a newt, found her voice, manner and views (she had probably never met a 'poor' person) decided he'd had enough. "My dear," he leaned closer, "Your concern for the poor does you great credit. But are you really dedicated to the cause? For instance, if I were to offer you one million pounds to donate to any charity you chose, would you make love with me?" She had no choice but to answer in the affirmative. Churchill's voice got rather louder; "Well would you sleep with me for a fiver?" "Sir Winston! Just what do you think I am?" The famous voice rose to full bellow; "Young lady, we've already established exactly what you are - now we're just haggling about the price." The young lady left in a flood of tears and a London taxi, and the rest of the dinner passed in glorious peace
  2. What's wrong with lifting of arms of embargo? So far these guys have been fighting each other by squirting their water guns, about time they got the real deal. Every time I see somalia mentioned in the news, I cower in shame, put my hands over my face... we're the laughingstock of the world. Our once brave men are now reduced to bunch of wimps. Not a day passes where someone doesn't pompously promise to obliterate his adversary. But when shid hits the fan, they scatter like pack of craven critters. I want some actions, some good old *** whopping. Someone must lose, to the winner goes the spoils of war and chance to shape the annals of history by forging it in own blood. What we have now is death of thousands wounds. Very painful way to go. I want finality, not forever impasse. I want swift end to all hostility and that can only come when some side gets good trouncing.
  3. No, I didn't catch it. I was having a swell of a time at Guns 'N Roses concert.
  4. Putting up pictures of girls and drooling over them now passes for politically worthy posts, is that it? To say this place is facing decay of standards is to be generous.
  5. Originally posted by -Serenity-: All this talk of marrying a married man makes me dislike all somali men walaahi! Ms. chameleon, we can discern your general dislike for Somali men even through this flaccid excuse of yours that claims talk of second wives is putting you off, so much so that you dislike all Somali men. What a hogwash! After all, even when the supposed 'best' among them are so delusional and selfish, what could we expect from simple minded everyday faaraxs? To derive qualitative judgements like best and simple minded takes keen acumen and elevated intelligence. It's been common knowledge for quite sometime now that discernment, ability to connect the dots or detect patterns is supreme sign of intelligence. Sadly, most women and dare I say most humans come deficient in these qualities. Thus, why they perpetually make the wrong decisions. They somehow expect by magic or osmosis a person will turn good. At our core we remain pretty match the same throughout our lifes. Sure, we shed and adopt some qualities as part of life's learning process but rarely will you ever see a munifenct man turn into greedy one. So, if you women get hitched to a schnook, who's fault is it? Wouldn't it be yours? Weren't you the one amiss in the selection process? And facile excuses like there aren't enough good men out there doesn't cut it no more. For one thing, it's nothing but defeatist moans. Secondly, it's self-fulfilling prophecy, not empirical fact. The world belongs to those who take it. Scarcely will the world present you with free lunch, you gotta earn it through hard labour. In my neck of the woods, no free tripe for cats. Unless you were born with silver spoon in your mouth you gotta bust your butt to make ends meet. Wanna get decent paying job? Go through 12 years of generalised education and 4-10 more years of specialised training. Wanna climb atop of the corporate ladder? Be prepared to start at the very bottom and work your way up, at glacial pace! Every realisable and worthy goal is fraught with risks and rewards.... carries with it a challenge, sometimes dispiriting one, that requires spending great deal of energy, time and persistant assiduity. Assuming finding a husband/wife is realisable and worthy objective, why would it be any less taxing endeavor? It wouldn't, it isn't and the continuous failure of people to grasp this reality of life is what fuels their never ending frustration.

  7. How exactly is sending money to relatives entitle you to meddle in local politics?
  8. Somali diaspora has no say in Somalia's internal affairs. This applies to all sides. Do you live there? No. Why, then, do you think you should have a say in what happens there? Your life is not and will not be immediately affect in any meaningful way. Surely that height hubris.
  9. It's true. Take it from me, I'm prescient. According to Minkowski, ICU victory is historical inevitability.
  10. Originally posted by x_quizit: SB, I disagree with you. Dr. Zakir Naik is amazing, you may not agree with his analogy but if you dig beyond the obvious you'd see the truth of his words. He is talking about the culture of swingers, where wife/husband swapping is easily done, akin to some animals. What are you on? Which animal species besides humans has the institution of marriage? If none then how felicitous is any analogy? That aside, he's actually making a bold, unsupported claim. Namely, eating pig meat induces certain behaviour (wife swapping). Where is the medical/scientific evidence to back up this assertion? Where is Quranic/Ahadith literature prescribing this knowledge? The answer is none because they don't exist. He's making this up when he knows full well it's untrue. He's been given ample oppurtunity by many who warned him how the aforementioned claims of his sully his image and erode away his credibility. What did he do? Stubbornly stick by his guns. Ergo, he's lying. I don't want you to get the impression that I dismiss this guy based on this one uttering alone. I'm fairly familiar with his work. However, before long I discovered the guy was a dilettante as he has shallow grasp of a lot of what he pontificates.
  11. Break a leg! Looking the part can not be over stressed. You got about 10s to make a first impression. If you don't connect in those 10s, forget a second crack your **** is grass. So dress the part, smile and project confidence (they're contagious).
  12. Originally posted by Devilangle: does anyone know the meaning of this dream? You dream means never having to say you're sorry.
  13. Originally posted by Cara: Why is the onus of proof on Cambarro? She's the claimant. Duh! Hayam.. Are some saying here that Islam was spread let's through Africa by the sword? It doesn't matter what we or anyone says. Only what the historical record shows. The answer is qualified yes.
  14. ^Xalimos have been bane of his life, he has a right to lash out at them ever so often. No! You leave him alone. Power to faaraxs (I'm not a faarax by the way).
  15. Cambaro, Are your posts nothing but ostentatious display of irrelevancy? Your uncanny nack of obfuscating; going on a tangent by blaboring about nonsense extraneous to topic at discussion is quite striking. Naden made her objection to your post crystal clear in her very first stentence This statement is not historically accurate.. In reply to this that you said It only survived and maintained this through constant scientific and technological advancements.. She's contesting the historical veracity of your account of Islamic history. The pertinent thing to do on your part is to repudiate her objection by showing Islam didn't spread via through pillaging and acquisition of wealth .
  16. Can eloquence and pleasable elocution offset lack of intellectual merit? It is a fact all too evident and undeniable that some of these speakers got some funky ideas. Beyond wooly thoughts is the nigh unto itself false, unscientific ideas some of them endorse. Namely, dr zakir naik. The guy is a buffoon. This is what he said once: The pig is the most shameless animal on the face of the earth. It is the only animal that invites its friends to have sex with its mate. In America, most people consume pork. Many times after dance parties, they have swapping of wives; many say 'you sleep with my wife and I will sleep with your wife.' If you eat pigs then you behave like pigs. If the man holds demonstrably false ideas and doesn't shed them upon being corrected, what confidence does one have he's right with his other ideas? It parellels great deal what people consider wise words or wisdom. What makes some utterings wise and others unwise? If some utterings are demonstrably wrong, do they still retain their wise status?
  17. Cambaro You having amazing gift for the typical. How droll.
  18. Originally posted by J B: SB , are you a philosophy Student? i'm not. Nope. I have learned long ago philosophy is for smug eggheads who don't have the chutzpah to put their ideas to the test against reality (like science). They rather debate how many angels are dancing on the head of a pin than finding factual knowledge of our world.
  19. Northerner, Don't you agree with me Soumaya Ghannoushi is cutie?
  20. ^^What could she possibly impart to you that's from experience. She hasn't had her wings clipped yet. Xaliimopatra, I read that in Women's magazine.
  21. Originally posted by Sophist: religious laws are eternaly immutable. That's precisely the problem -- the inflexibility on the part of few in performing their religious duties. The lawyer could have shown her face as asked by the judge and went on with business without so much hullabaloo. But no can do because her attire is uncompromisable and more important than matters at hand. Forgetting in the process, societal harmony is engendered by reaching consus, making compromise among competing options... best end result being one that delivers greatest good to greatest number of people and least harm to fewest number of people. This means some people will not always get what they want and therefore have to make compromise. Religion is not excuse for intransigence from both legal and rational standpoint. PS. Law is nothing but the enforcement of societal morals and ethics. You can't ignore social mores as they are the source of some of those morals.
  22. Originally posted by Sophist: Religous: NONE. Wearing the veil is part and parcel of British culture-- in Britain the individual's liberty and the exercise of one's personal desire (so long as it is not deleterious to the wellbeing of others) is principle we hold dear; But it is inimical to social comity. Otherwise, it wouldn't be an issue. No one is making fuss about Niqab wearing women ambling the streets of London. I see them in my relatively small city all the time, no problemo. Women wearing Niqab is not the issue per se. It's strictly a problem of Niqabed women asking the LAW to change to accomodate them. Like boarding a bus with bus pass showing her picture but refusing to show her face to the bus driver on religious grounds (this really happened!). Or checking into into security check-line at airports and refusing to show face to confirm identity. Criminals wear face masks to rob banks and these Niqabed women seriously think it's ok to walk into a bank wearing what amounts to a face mask and get serviced? Why can't these women be tolerant, respectful, accomodating to British social mores and laws on the very few occassions where the two collide?
