I think about this song, everytime I glance on this topic, We are young, heartache to heartache we stand No promises, no demands Love is a battlefield We are strong, no one can tell us were wrong Searchin our hearts for so long, both of us knowing Love is a battlefield Youre beggin me to go, youre makin me stay Why do you hurt me so bad? It would help me to know Do I stand in your way, or am I the best thing youve had? Believe me, believe me, I cant tell you why But Im trapped by your love, and Im chained to your side We are young, heartache to heartache we stand No promises, no demands Love is a battlefield We are strong, no one can tell us were wrong Searchin our hearts for so long, both of us knowing Love is a battlefield Were losing control Will you turn me away or touch me deep inside? And before this gets old, will it still feel the same? Theres no way this will die But if we get much closer, I could lose control And if your heart surrenders, youll need me to hold We are young, heartache to heartache we stand No promises, no demands Love is a battlefield We are strong, no one can tell us were wrong Searchin our hearts for so long, both of us knowing Love is a battlefield We are young, heartache to heartache we stand No promises, no demands Love is a battlefield We are strong, no one can tell us were wrong Searchin our hearts for so long, both of us knowing Love is a battlefield Written by: mike chapman & holly knight Pat Benatar lyrics

Val...I just wanted to wave at my good-hearted lovable sister that is you...Make sure you PM me personally when you arrive here in the Southern states PS For the dirty minded no I have never exchanged any PM with VAL here...

LG, Morehouse is for the douchebags.It is the bulldog baby

LG I always tip-toe around you, dear. I remember many times when I wanted to shoot your greasy Somali skull with my cyber pistol, only to sink back since I was never sure when to desensitize you against your attitude. I’d rather have a lump in my throat THAN to argue or make you see things in a different perspective. I still respect you though and that is why I pointed out why I think you are a consistent person

One thing you will love about LG is her consistency. Though I don't agree with some of her postings at least she is one consistent girl!

So this guy measured his love by the volume of his adrenaline when he visited his girlfriend’s home? Why would anyone set for a sister of his squeeze unless of course she is some sort of exotic bird This story calls for some slapping of your friend even after clock ticking has finished…….

^^I was greatly piqued by his lesson.I think he was kikuyu wanafunzi wenge wana toa sadaka EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

I'm bored and what a great time to pay tribute to SOL ladies with my collection of Soft rock (only ladies should click on these links otherwise it will be cheesy ) Lonely No more You can't hurry love You bring me up and last Thank You

Malika..lool..Now that I watched that clip at home the dude himself needs a big help.When did pilipili become a seasoning? frankly I don't even know what seasoning is called in Swahili, but I'm sure it ain't pilipili......

Seems like you want a circuitous argument here.I will not go into the threads and search for all your charges against Somlailand. I can’t soften, smarten or desensitize you. I didn’t fabricate anything here. I just told you why I said what I said. I will blend my inner world with my outer world than look for words with merciless intuition in your words on SOL thread.Sorry for the gloating expectations

Castro, According to Odweyne the Marxist Ideology of looking at things has pervaded your psyche when it comes to your contestation of Somalia dismemberment. According to him it is only through the ideology of class that you see the reason for Somaliland secession. This is where my merciless criticism word came in. How can you equate everything Somaliland people have achieved as a simple model meant to socially alienate and estrange them from the rest of Somalia? It is the spirit of somalilanders that is embodied on their quest for recognition. You are sort of a carrier of a culture within our Somali community that will dismiss anything Somaliland has achieved as nothing more than a mere formless and meaningless mass just superimposed with a quest that is beyond their reach. As an idealist for whom conscious has primacy you come across nothing more than a critic who would dismiss any achievement as deepened conspiracy. Granted that when I look back at some of your replies in this pages are cautiously balanced it is still turn the tide towards Somaliland. PS It is the lunch.I'll go grab a bite ...

Castro,If I do it will take me time to enormously uncover all your smashing criticism of Somaliland lost somewhere in these pages What part of this sentence you didn't understand, castro? It is difficult to be persuasive if your only question to your why ? will be a lame because on my part....duh? PS Will be back on my lunch break.

Congrat Marx.Don’t listen to the snotty Ivy League educated folks. I’m sure you are gifted with insight to know how you will handle your career from this point on.Goodluck!

Lilly,That is a cold dislike.I wish you had the chance to sit with the real Swahili speaking folks (like people from Zanziba and Coastal place) not the school learned once like me.I’m telling you that you will laugh with spontaneous zest how they are able to tell such stories any minute of the day.You will stand there listlessly wondering how in the world did they come-up with all those stories.

Malika,Youtube is categorized as advertisement and popups by my company.Basically it is blocked from our servers :mad:

Castro,If I do it will take me time to enormously uncover all your smashing criticism of Somaliland lost somewhere in these pages.The difference between me and Ngonge is that I always noded in agreement and pleased with Somaliland, but though I ‘m still peeping out guardedly nearly all the time and seeing if anything has changed the other side of Somalia.I honestly can say I’m personally motivated by peace.I’d rather slink off and lean towards where progress is being made than sit in a devious mute mode and wait for things to change

No one should volunteer to teach Ngonge Swahili after he made that gurgling remark about the language. I want him to suffer a nauseating sorrow when he brushes shoulders with Swahili speaking folks in London

Odweyne, Good Morning, For Someone who writes that long replies you deserve more than a one-liner reponse.Castro theory of seeing Somaliland through the eyes of Marxism is objectively false because of his mercilessly criticism of everything Somaliland has achieved.I believe Somaliland history today unfolds and beckons in a time when the greater Somalia leaders are longing to escape rather than depose the tyranny of fact in their doorsteps.They are indulging in a dream of abstract emotions instead of working on their grim disillusionment of what cause that country to fail so miserably!. Lulled by one transitional government after another and paralyzed by its own lack of direction to form a stable country, Somalia today can not pick on a whim and force Somaliland to join them. The mingle reality of today is that Somaliland has painstakingly built something out of nothing. This is not dismissing the reality of legitimacy debate of Somaliland existence side by side with Somalia. Today I can hazard (a task which is beyond my Somali politics comprehension) to argue that Somalia seed of misfortune was sown before Somaliland was formed. We all know the first survival for human being is security. Somaliland today has successfully stopped the roller coaster cycle of continually wage of war that takes place in the rest of Somalia. It is through this peace that Somaliland is able to extraordinary communicated with the rest of the world. It is the decency, pride, and the positive achievement of that place that makes me every now and then dip into my pocket and contribute; whether it is sending five kids to University of Hargeysa or building a water point in some village. It is hard to wait and compare Somaliland to the other side of Somalia which is experiencing despair, hopelessness, and chronic misery. It is this inappropriate context of Somalia today that makes the rest of the world eager to endorse Somaliland (of course coming up with the excuse wrapped up with the argument of waiting for the African Union). The mind is neutral when not prejudiced; it judges details on its own at a face value. If we all set aside our curveball illusions and liberate our brains we will find that our opponents here have a point to contest the secession if Somalia becomes peaceful before Somaliland is recognized (of course besides the exaggeration, petty slanders, and oddly at times direct jabs ).

^^^ I had to laugh at the Marxist part. It seems like our friend Castro is falsifying everything about Somaliland on the behalf of the interest of proletariat such as the common laborer in the street of Hargeysa. No escape from ideological traps, ha? Odweyenow are you fettering and chaining us down from seeing the “other” side of Somalia?

Xiin, I think you handle your argument in a very civil way. I believe you are not one of the people in these boards who are prisoners in their own rhetoric. You always seem to remain cool poised and relaxed when I read your argument; just don’t loose that my dear friend (and this is a sincere portend). I do understand where you questioned the substance behind the legitimization of Somaliland as a country. Your arguments about this issue are one which you will be heard and of course one which would not be ignored even if someone comes here ten or five years downs the road. Though I support and affirm the Somaliland existence as an alternative to the chaos of the rest of Somalia I still will like and love to read arguments such as yours and Baashi. In all of this, you will learn that there would always be a respect for the logic of your opponents. Though most of the time both of you and the rest of Somaliland supporters eschew the facts it will always be easy for any reasonable person to glean what is fact from fiction.

If that accident happens in my neighborhood I’d have pulled the race card issue and say that those white folks are mocking us…….stereotype

You guys are boring me with this old lady tackle. I wasted my time reading that story...I was anticipating much giddy or even an inebriated stripper old lady hidden somewhere in that story. I blame Ibti….

^^Athiggu afkaa miyaad igaxigtaa.I hate to brag, but I wish you knew whom I have same lineage with in Somaliland.People like Moge and what was the famous poet in Somaliland name? The blood will drain from their cheeks if these legends hear that inaankothi baat afkaa kuistacmareysaa....They must be sitting mute in their boredorm right now wondering what happen to their people (I'm guessing they are dead now)

^^Don't sneer and make a snotty wisecrack on our language waryaa...
