confused about LOVE? I found some high definitions for you. The "experts" say these three components define love (passion, intimacy and commitment) 1. passion = Strong sexual desire. 2. commitment = The state of being bound emotionally to another person. 3. intimacy = the condition of being close friends Liking: Intimacy alone Infatuation: Passion alone Empty love: Commitment alone Romantic love: Passion + Intimacy. Companionate love: Intimacy + Commitment Fatuous love: Passion + Commitment True love: Intimacy + Passion + Commitment Do I love my wife? Absolutely a true love

Nomads, how about Baadiye oo Roob ku da'ey. We are working on that so stay tuned. What images would you guys like. Remember a desktop background doesn't necessarily have to have any cultural significance. On most situations, a desktop background is just an image users like to look at in terms of design, looks, colors, etc. So make suggestions other than GEEL iyo ARI. BTW, that "liin dhanaan" image was voted (by Linux Users) to be one of the best background images on the net. We just took it and played with it to customize it. Nuune welcome back.

^^ Sophist, check your pm.

PlayM, JamaaL-11 is the expert on that. If you can find him underground(private messages), he might be able to assist you.

Good idea, but are the warlords ready for it? They call the shots.

Darmanow, call me whodini like Gediid.

That is one of the more classic ones.

^^ lol@ Raula. It is called "high sports language". Only the sports fanatics understand it.

Well, I think after all is said and done, it just comes down to being "ina hebel hebel" the somali style.

^^ Mr. nationalist, visit the politics section if you prefer to debate about Somaliland. Let us see if you survive Angel Dust's onslaught. Who else liked/hated the backgrounds?

^^ lol. Adigana ma ku biirtay kuwa complainka ku jira.

why? what is the reason behind Riyaale's order?

Dhac iyo boob. We got a lawyer and as soon as the case started, the website went down so we lost the case.

Waxaan idin waydiiyay hablihiinan, maad Thank You dhahdaan intaad liin dhanaantayda wax ka sheegaysaan. lol Somali iyo liin dhanaan iyo moos ma kala haraan. It is part of the nomad flavor. Only those who grew up in Somalia/Somaliland would recognize the significance of lime. lol I should have had "geel" there to start with the background series huh. Maybe next time. But now enjoy the beautiful backgrounds and keep your mouth shut. There is more to come. Stay tuned.

Welcome back Sniper. Please let us know when that book comes out.

Happy Late Birthday Curly.

test this thread works fine now.

Maybe that is the reason Microsoft will have a Somali version of its Windows operating system soon. Read the story here. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/3816717.stm Jaamac Marduuf Weyne brought Gate's attention to the Somali people. Let us all thank Jamac Marduuf Weyne.

North, When I used to live in T.O.(scarborough), it was tight and the majority of the Somalis were all cool. I guess things have changed lately. Sorry you had a bad experience sxb. I must say you didn't see a good crowd.

"I can't believe that out of all the people in the UK they managed to pick him. I seriously felt physically ill because they put this Muslim man in there and then to make it worse he had to be Somali (probably because no one else would be that stup!d !)." "May Allah save us all!" I just noticed something. That above comment was from nomad Curly_Sue posted on Somalia Online on May 29, 2004 07:45 AM US central time. Here is the original article. http://www.guardian.co.uk/g2/story/0,3604,1261484,00.html Nomads, the Somali website the UK's Guardian is quoting is none other than your SOL. We can now add the Gaurdian to the list of media outlets coming to SOL for Somali related content. if you find more, just let us know.
