OMG! Your boss sounds exactly like Micheal from The Office, a hit comedy show(on NBC) about a clueless boss who is insensitive but thinks he is kind. He stereotypes everyone.

Thats money right there.

LOL@Juxa. I wont tell him carar but will speak to him bal. Nuune, Faataxo aqriso bal.

LOL ISSE, Enjoy then.

He is a family member and everyone is asking me to "talk" to him as if I have the answers. Somalida waa iska taqaanaa, they're going like "naa ina adeerkaa maa la hadashid adigaa macalimad ahe" ughh I hate it.

Morning people. How do you motivate someone to get something out of life? This someone is extremely lazy, doesnt want to work(but claims to be looking everyday), doesnt want to go to school(but always hunting for good schools), doesnt want to marry anyone but brings girls home to marry, sets a date but never follows through. The girl loses interest and moves on. He is the nacam kind, always saying yes to anyone who gives him advice.

@ "down-day maba maqli karo." You sound like the model who declared, on a National T.V in one of those reality shows that "feelings are soo 1979" Malika, Ma hospice baad ii dirtay anigoo awalba suffering from dark outlook :confused: . Wale igama naxaysid

Lily, Thanks. My mood has improved. The students sensing my dark mood have been behaving and being sweet to me. Juxa, You started out nice but, but you want me to come to London so that you can point to the London Bridge? I was half-expecting you to book me a full day spa. Ma sidaasan walaalo ku nahay?

Ugly for who? They're buying homes in the suburbs, driving better cars, and are in shaloongooyin in the thousands! Hadaan anigu caqliyeystay, ilaa aan lix iska daba keeno waan wadi, that's the only way to live a comfortable life (or so it seems)... KK, I know you dont beleive that. Nin iyo naag wayn oo file gareeyey their down the ceeyr line oo yiri income nama soo galin ee please give me food stomps and a little cash so I can feed my kids oo iskula sii saxsan dad nool ma aha. Akhas! :eek: I wonder how that woman actually see ninkaas as a man and has sex with him. WTF? "Oh honey you're an honest hardworking father and husband. Thank you for....erm...sharing the hand me down from the goverment with us :eek: :eek: . They can buy all the forsaken suburban homes they want and drive whatever model but deep down, no dignity is reserved. And whats uglier is the mentality these kids will have when they grow up. When they see that their White playmate, or Pakistani friend or American or Canadian friend's parents working proudly and holding honored degrees, even better helping the "less fortunate" what will they think? Kids who come from such homes never get very far in life. Hence the spike in crime, dropp outs, pregnancy, in both Black and Somali community.

OMG! He looks disgusting in a white skin. The study was interesting. It used the premises of another experiment(conducted sometime in 1970's) that compared black dolls to white dolls where ALL the children black and white agreed overwhelming that the white doll is prettier, purer and more fun.

OMG! Seriously? Nin walba howdkiisa ha maamulo miyaa sheekada? Somalia needs clonization 2010.

Hello KK, how are the babies?Retail shopping is the best therapy. I'm currently at work though.

The world is yours ee ha iska waalin maad i leedahay? Thats a sound sisterly advice. Yeah, Ibti I'm having exactly one of those days where there isnt a space in my head to think. Thanks Hun. Ducaysane, Nin la'aan ma depression bay keentaa? I think I'll be more depressed and upset over losing my car key than nin. LZ, I think they'll make me smile. Their test scores is coming out today. They better pass and bring me chocolate cakes or else

Waxan maqlay naago in la tumo ku raaxeysta ayaa jira oo markii meel kasta la jabsho hawsha gurigeeda iyo qancinta odeygeeda si fiican uga soo baxaysa oo sidaa ku maqsuuda jira Allamagan You just proved my point inay habaaran yihiin or maskaxda wax uga dhimanyihiin. :eek: Maadey Are you by any chance advocating for wife beating? Maxaad ula jeedaa xanuunkaadan arkin? Juxa Adiga you're just being sarcastic however, Nuune and Jacayl already added you to the list of battered women who ku shaqeeyo feero garaac(Sp?). :mad:

Morning my peepz. I feel a sense of doom today, like nothing I do matters aduunkan. Am I depressed?

You mentioned that local issues affecting the Somali community in general so I hope Jaad or khaad issue is featuring in your talk as this is one of the biggest problems somali families in UK are facing today. When more than 24hrs of khat-chewing session takes its toll on this poor skinny Faarax and then the hung-over next morning. End of the road! this is when it leads violence against the wife. Midoo an daris nahay subax dhow sidii loo galay lee Tyson ma ring ku helay aa is dhaheysa, waan ka naxay maskinta. Haddana wuu iska sab-sabtayo waaba la joogtay mana aysan soo dacwayn. This is not isolated incident waa sheeko taxane :mad: Naag oo Europe or America ku nool oo nin tumay la sii joogta waa habaaran tahay. Uff fooqul uff.

I went to University. I graduated.

LOL@ Tuujiye. Ma waxaad sugeeysay inaan beeniyo wax kitaabka ku qoran? KK, Hence Birth control. If one cannot afford raising kids in this society, then one should take precautions. Nothing is uglier than nin iyo naag is qabo waiting for ceeyr money to arrive so they can buy milk for their babies.

What? How is he 18? He looks late 30's, maybe early 40's?

I'm interested in how you would approach what you termed "the break down of nuclear family."

It is not wrong to marry four wives Islamically but whats wrong is defrauding the welfare system. If a man has four wives and dozens of children and he is taking care of his family and the women are okey with it, FINE! But problem comes when they marry four wives and they claim benefits because he simply cannot pay all the bills. Personally I dont know how women do it!

Feminism has done for womenkind what the Civil Rights Movement has done black people in America. It was a very significant and powerful movement. But the next generation has done very little to advance the cause just like Blacks.

They're beautiful mashallah. Ilaahay ha u daayo.

Well the three issues you've mentioned are big ones. Make sure you approach it objectively. Dont turn the issue into a lecture where you preach people literally. I hate those. Invite guests from the community for a discussion. Open communication lines so that audiences can participate. Also, I would add health, something thats always left out of the discussion unles it is flue season. Good luck!

Hello Folks. Nuune ma sheekadaasaa la imaatay. Brave aa? I was hoping she had a knife in there and that she was going to make him bleed for saqajaanimadisa. Malika, subxanallah. Ilaahay ha u naxariisto. Thats sad and super scary.
