What criteria are we using? I vote for Apohis, he seems to be the most sense-able character when debating and is able to control his emotions. He understands that people have widely differing views and does not try to convince others to accept his viewpoint.

My heart skipped a beat reading that name, my goodness. This is truly tragic, so young, pretty, and gone too early. RIP Nora

^^ It also depends on the age I think. An older man (40+) who has been married before as well is a better fit.

I couldn't do it, and especially not if she has kids.

Hawdian, are you another Gadewayne?

it used to be Mohamed Nur Arraale Duur around the president a lot in the past, now is Warrancade. Everywhere he goes he seems to be there.

I've seen the way they treat men such as John Stossel, Thomas Sowell and others. I applaud some of you guys for engaging in discussion, and for being patient with them. I know that I don't have the blood to do it, is easier for me to cease all discussions and tell them to get lost, because this back and forth talks never really go anywhere.

You're "brilliant"

And those are just a few of the more obvious instances, I didn't even mention things like attempts to cut a number of low income food programs and aid as well as employment services, senior care, Head Start, etc, all of which would have the indirect effect of hitting women and children the hardest. But let's stay on topic, I'm sure you're already well aware of this. I read all the links you provided, I'll say most of are just politically motivated "Republicans, fearful that Democrats were trying to portray them as insensitive to women, argued that they oppose pay discrimination but disagree with the Democrats' bill" But it wouldn't matter anyways, people views don't change. Thanks

The first deputy chairman of the ruling party (KULMIYE) and also a renowned war veteran Mr. Mohamed Kahin Ahmed survived unscathed after the would be assassin toting an AK 47 assault rifle appeared before him in an attempt to kill the politician but the weapon jam before the man was wrestled to the ground the incident Hotel Lac Assal. The minister of Interior and in charge of internal security Hon Mohamed Ali Waran cade in a press conference said, “We have in custody all those accused of being involved in the attempted murder case and investigation are into the case is currently ongoing and the suspects will be arraigned before a court of law as soon as possible. It’s not clear yet what were the motives of the suspects but speculations are rive that it’s related to the increasing infighting in the ruling party KULMIYE which has engulfed the party in recent times. Incidents like this have become common place in Hargeisa since the premises of the local Somali language daily HUBAAL were attacked by armed men who tried to kill the owner and chief editor of the newspaper and also the recent assassination Mr. Mohamed Farah Qabile a staunch critic of President Silanyo none of those accused of this crimes have been charged in a court of law.

These "Muslim" women will only get a book deal, a grant of some sort, exclusively given, if they're to go back to their country of origin, to shot a small documentary, incriminating their culture and religion and of course a little air-time on a National news, talking about their ordeal, before ending it with their own emancipation proclamation to free the women from the "chains of Islam". So they basically become tools for the liberal elites? I'm of the opinion that we shouldn't be paying much attention to them, these issues don't contribute nothing to advancement of mankind, extremely weak focus.

This is a normal economic growth for a poor country like Somaliland, and this growth has been a trend for the past 7 years I believe.

The American Psychiatric Association has changed the classification of pedophilia from a disorder to a sexual orientation or preference in its latest edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-V). (Please see important update at end of article.) Neon Tommy is reporting that the APA is drawing “a very distinct line between pedophilia and pedophilic disorder.” For instance, pedophilia is defined in the new edition as referring “to a sexual orientation or profession of sexual preference devoid of consummation, whereas pedophilic disorder is defined as a compulsion and is used in reference to individuals who act on their sexuality,” the report states. This is not a total surprise as the classification of pedophilia in the DSM has been steadily evolving over the years. The previous edition categorized pedophilia as a disorder only if the fantasies or urges involve children under the age of 13, if they last at least six months, if the individual has acted upon them, or if they cause distress such as legal problems. Paul Christiano, a registered sex offender and spokesperson for B4U-ACT, a pedophila advocacy group that offers support for “minor-attracted persons”, wants to see the system changed because of its one-size-fits-all approach that treats a man who committed 20 consecutive rapes and a 19-year-old boy who had sex with his 17-year-old girlfriend the same way. There is some basis for wanting a change, writes Hannah Maluyao for Neon Tommy, but the grounds for this change are “murky” with B4U-ACT. For example, when questioned about the most responsible way in which a pedophile should manage his sexual desires, Christiano said they encourage their members to keep their preferences as a purely mental exercise that is never acted upon. “B4U-ACT does not condone illegal activity,” Christiano insisted. “Yet how can we be assured that such behavior remains entirely in the mind and not carried out in the bedroom?” Maluyao asks. “Answer: we can’t.” Christiano has also advocated for the “sexual autonomy” of children, saying in his senior thesis as a graduate student, that they “should not be left in the dark about their own sexuality.” More education in sexuality would help them to better understand boundaries. “However, there is an underlying suggestion that with sexual knowledge comes sexual consent,” Mulayao writes. “If children were permitted to be more sexually autonomous, would they then be able to fully consent to a sexual relationship or more importantly, a sexual relationship with an adult?” Caitlin Myers, a doctorate student in Sociology at the University of Southern California told Mulayao that while open discussion of sexuality would be good, children still cannot give consent. “In theory,” Myers says, “pedophilia as a practiced sexual orientation walks a thin line. There is no possibility of pedophilia becoming an accepted sexual orientation in current culture.” Dr. Gregory Popcak of the Pastoral Solutions Institute, and organization dedicated to helping Catholics find faith-filled solutions to marriage, family, and personal problems, does not believe people should be too concerned about these changes to the DSM. The changes made were more editorial than clinical. “From what I can tell, the DSM V criteria for Pedophilic Disorder shouldn’t bother anyone,” he writes for Patheos. “I’m, personally, not sure what to make of those who refer to the idea of a pedophilic orientation. If it is just to distinguish between ideation and actions, I think that’s fine. In fact, that would be exactly how the Catholic Church thinks of it. One can have a predisposition to a sin or even a strong temptation to a sin without committing a sin. There is a big difference between thinking about robbing a bank and actually robbing it. Neither is good, but only the latter is actually sinful.” However, he goes on to warn that “if calling it an orientation is somehow used or co-opted by some social advocacy group to justify pedophilia as ‘just another normal expression of sexual desires’ then that would be seriously problematic. That said, I don’t really think that’s what’s happening–at this time, anyway.” PLEASE NOTE: This article originally stated that the author of the DSM-5 was the American Psychological Association. This was an error. The DSM-5 is published by the American Psychiatric Association (APA).
