Marc, no need to answer your pathetic comment. Keep yapping. As for my earlier comment to Marc "you are an exception", none of you were suppose to take it literal. You had to note the sarcasm why would someone who is from Europe himself try to offend other Europeans, that is beyond my comprehension. but then this dude is never consistent with his arguments. I think he is just seeking attention. anyhow, am out.

lol@ there are many good euro-trash people out there... why don't you just say "I am an exception" lol

Pucca, we have different ways of going abt it eh ... There is nothing wrong with a brother talking abt kids, I find that sweeet and caring. Not that I intend to turn into a baby factory.

Aw, I think you are scared to commit to one girl. Don't worry that goes for all guys almost till they find the right girl. A smart sister will always talk about marriage plans, and that is the only way to know if he is fooling around. my tip ladies as soon as he hesitates just dump him.

Cynical lool the dude is from paris?? ouch his own words just backfired @ him.. :rolleyes:

^^Pucca you are so thoughtful and sweet ,,

Dahia somali men don't have to be young to have babies, they have kids till they can't have babies you got my drift lol

^ lol@ the cherished family donkey, I must admit you have odd sense of humor.

^^looool is that how much you can't stand babies

What is wrong with you guys. It is quite nice having baby siblings. When kids get older they get too bossy and demanding. I just love when they are babies, they are so at peaceee..Ghanima any day pass over your brother

Congratz Ghanima, and stop being so negetive. My lil sister is six yrs old and whenever I TRY to baby talk her she goes " am too old for that you know"...I miss her baby days Really, I want a new baby brother too. But, my mom goes " naa caruur hadaad rabtid orad dhalo"

Actually my knowledge of the shia group is limited. Chubacka, why would they curse the companions of the prophet csw? North, I dnt know abt the shedding blood. waaba baqay walahi lol. But, she did mention beating their chests. My friend assured me it was touching your chest lightly, she said some ppl over do it though.

Just to get few things straighten out, I am not here to encourage young girls to get married. Not at all, I rather if they continued their studies without any distractions. And, that is how we should all raise our children, how school is their first priority and once they complete their studies they can get married and start off their own families. By then they are able to support themselves without being burden to their families. But, that is the ideal life and things don’t always work out that way. I have met few teenager girls who had kids out of wedlock, and to your surprise they happen to be Somalis and muslims at that. So, my point was if their parents had married them off and were supportive at the start these girls would have had their own families. At times trying to ignore the situation and being stuck with your values can actually make the situation much worst than it already is. Just a tip none of you should be judgmental, judging others is for Allah swt. Besides, few months off school to get their lives together shouldn’t be much to fuss upon as Lily already stated earlier.

One of my friends invited me to come with her to the mosque. You know how the shia group wear black on the Ashuura day and beat themselves up or something alike. I was wondering if that was halaal or haraam? Isn't like am gonna beat myself or anything lol, but just to go with her...?? any ideas. wa salaam

^^now you showed your true colors, you did not have to pretend you were for democracy. or it only works one way as far as you are concerned? territoriality integrity kulaha ? Che, don't waste your time on this guy. He is not worth it.

No one is stopping SL from reaching their recognition. They are the ones running after other's lands and trying to pass it off as theirs. Now I don't know what that is, if not anti-democracy? I think that should be all I will say in this matter.

Shameless and fruitless, two words to describe this supposedly "Demonstration" against Somaliland. ^^^I call this a hypocritical comment. They have the right to demonstrate and fight for their land. Sool, Sanaag, and cayn will always be part of Somalia. Somalilanders need to find other means to attain recognition instead of forcing people who want nothing to do with them. Kabish... It is pathetic how somalilanders cry for recognition in all their demonstrations, bt can't accept others when they fight for the same rights?....

Che, we are now on the same page. Ofcourse, today's 9 yrs old is not mature enough to take upon such decisions. Asking to be excused so their bodies can heal and they could bond with their babies, all important factors supported by many health professions, is hardly a burden to society, ina adeer. True, a mother is a mother regardless of her age and needs time for herself and her new born baby.

^^^Ofcourse, a muslim man can marry a nine yrs old girl from religious perspective. But, even though it is halaal a 9 yrs old from the prophet's time (csw) can not be compared to today's 9 years old. Anyways, High school girl should have the right to get married and get pregnant if she choose to. In that aspect age is nothing but a number. so what if is 15 16? I think today's 15 yrs old is fairly mature to take such decisions. My point is not to encourage young girls to get married early and have kids. But, if they choose to, there is nothing wrong with it, we should be there and be supportive( get them married etc).

^^lets not forget back then 9 yrs old was fairly mature. My point was a girl has the right to get pregnant if she decides. Specially, if she is a teenager in high school (thats what between the ages of 15-18). That she has the intellect and the maturity to make a decision on her own. Would you rather have your daughter running around with a bf and sleeping over at his house.I think as a parent you would encourage them to get married. Ofcourse, today's 9 yrs old still plays w/ a doll.I was merely using the prophet's example to get my point across, that age should never be used as an excuse. As age is nothing but a ##########

^^^Girls hit puberty as early as 9 yrs old. So, age should never be the issue. If a girl decides she is ready to get married. Then, by all means she should do it.

There is nothing wrong with giving maternity leave to teens who got pregnant while in school, That is the least anyone could do for them. Besides, who said it is wrong to get pregnant while you are still in high school if you wish to (ofcourse from religious perspective you have to be married regardless of your age..the prophet csw married Aisha when she was only 9 yrs old). Therefore, I assume 15 yrs old is old enough to decide that, without ppl being judgemental. Really, why should any of you be bothered with why they got pregnant ?? (somali iyo faduul). But, I do agree we should encourage our teens to stay in school. Perhaps, start off programs to help kids stay active and focused. definitley, that will be worth it. All in all, I think they deserve to stay home and still continue their studies at home if they choose to. mothers get maternity leave at work? why can't they? no one should be descriminated against simply because of age. everyone has mind of their own and can live their life how they see fit. wa salaaaam

Emperor: They have signs saying down down Somaliland, I don't think they mean well, but that is just a guess on my part. I could ask them next time. Somaliland is occupaying LA by force as we speak. So, How do you expect them to support Sl's secession? 99% of People in sool, sanag, and cayn are pro unions. It is a fact that somaliland needs to accept. Anyhow, personally speaking I dont care if SL attains independence or otherwise as it is none of my affairs. However, they better not get comfortable with the idea that LA will stay under their occcupation. It won't last!! that is my two cent!

^^well put Emperor!!

so you mean pictures of nigerians and jamaicans....noo thanks!! I find sexy italians. Likewise, Most europeans are fairly good looking, and some somalis period. madow hada rabo somali aa loogu qaatay
