^ whatever happened to your city/town profiles. last i saw you were at 'C'

so how does this 'heathcare' work in the U.S? is it strictly for when there is a need for it? if you're not covered are hospitals gonna turn you away even if your situation is serious?

in an awe-inspiring labour geographies lecture, i learnt an interesting fact that stills haunts me. all things being considered 'social reproduction' as it was cleverly termed has the potential earning salary of $140,000.00 (2004). still, if we attach a monetary value on all things then where does the buck stop? house hold chores and raising their kids are necessary for women becos without 'that' they cease to exist. we are somali. we are a decent people. we are a conservative people who have stood the tests of time and the annals of history will and have judged us to have strong moral fibre and strong familial ties. the important emphasis we put on our social relations, ties and interactions are testimont to this. thus, we MUST be careful not to subsume 'our' unique culture under this human rights and equality mantra. this is culture and place specific and a perversity that will destroy our 'sacred' values. somali fathers and men have done relatively well considering the circumstance they've endured. recent times have tested the very essence of the family structure. this has taken its toll. we can infer from these experience that the family structure has become fragile with the subsequent resultants (s) being to: 1. reevaluate the structures of the family - 2. reconfigure the traditional structure of the family early attempts to both reevaluate and to reconfigure what God deemed natural have produced many negative results - marrying non-somalis, single mother phenomenon, the crisis of masculinity among somali men, combined with the violent niggerised culture of 'somalitude' practised by young somali males which has questioned their identity and place of belonging and the all-encompassing women's empowerment subversive ideals and discourse. similarly we've seen infidelity and illegitimate children become the norm often producing negative impacts. all these consequences have induced calls and attempts of trying to change the norm and in its place to create and try new 'model structures'. this latest model of trying to femininise and domesticate the man into house husbandry and ineffect trying to and purportedly destroy and subjugate the man's sense of self is not surprising and is the work of the white devil. its seeds have already been soiled. like NG quipped this is the stuff the privileged waste their time on. the man continues to dominate most somali and somali-hybrid households. the man must remain in his natural and pre-ordained dominion. anything less than this could be catastrophe for our very survival and alleged traditional values and norms. the man will never be conquered and will always con the 'woman' into delusions of power game (equality, career ladder lol and appeasement). only a childless career woman or the occasional dyke strap-on'er with a vindictive and callous behaviour patterns will destroy the man. thankfully, from a somali perspective this group is currently contained and under control but for how long? they are blood-thirsty and seeking to exact revenge but societal expectations and conformity is their kryptonite. we are currently working with our brothers around the globe to put 9-inch thick nails into them and to put corrective measures in place to avert a looming disaster. we MUST save humanity from this destruction that will seal its impending and ultimate end.

that's obviously besides the point! and to be honest i don't wish to make you a 'close and personal' friend since your childishness point scoring antics and snide sense of humour leave a lot to be desired and below my 'friendship' threshold. so don't ask silly and directionless question. for goodness sake! what hell is this? nagada da ciyaarta iyo spanish inquistion dee sxb.

interesting developments.

what are you talking about VAL? me and nuune regularly communicate on our HTC mobiles. there is an android feature that allows constant sms and voip communication.

i don't understand how these spinsters with kids and hubbies condone and support SAHD syndrome. there is already a crisis of masculity in the community, baal imagine if this was further exacerbated. there is a thinking ingrained in the minds of somali women that their men must be controlled.

i'm sorry but the roles have already been ordained. there is no need to reconfigure things.

Nuune, mate, when you called me last night in addis to tell me that you didnt get the turkish airlines jobs i was very disappointed and felt very sad for you ruunti. as one of the few people who can straddle between the two worlds, it made no sense that you didnt get the job. laakin, i know your a strong guy and i know you've got so much potential and worked very hard to be where you today. mate, these turkish fools don't understand your 'real' value and when some even alleged that you were the pilot of the shot-down fighter plane in syria, i quickly hushed and denied such assertions noo, becos as a close and personal of yours and an ethical hedonist, i can be trusted to protect your honour. i'll tell you what - i will speak to jakko, our south african pilot on your behalf and ask if you could intern for him while things pick up again. thinking of you, your close and personal friend, al.

somalia, i'd consider myself post-dhaqan celis but i think i could lead this group to salvation and acceptance.

one more qurbo eh? come on in and join a whole host of dysfunctional fools!

Just out of curiesty, what is the crime he is accused of in Somaliland? Hope it's not rape. god, there are so many retarded people on SOL. i was the one who was 'allegedly' done for rape not my friend, he merely stole food rations lol.

four years ago i was arrested and received my first criminal record for rape. at the time it seemed like the world was over for me. then i became a new-born somalilander and there was some hope over the horizon. coming to somaliland has allowed me to reinvent myself. but imagine if you're the victim of miscarriage of justice in Somaliland of all places, would you care too much for your loss of face? the pickering and backbiting? and the public shame. i suppose in many ways, if truth be told, this is worst then having a criminal record outside of somaliland. WHY? because of the humiliation, the infamy, the notoriety and the public crucifiction? its a thousand death sentences, its the waiting of lady luck, its the self-doubt and the questioning of your very essence and moral values. in societies like 'ours' honor and respect are derived from our community, once you break the set perimeters and standards, you'll be ostracised. even this morning, i didn't want to meet him for the fear of being associated with the criminal. but if it was really a miscarriage of justice as was presented, which i really doubt, then maybe one should have the self-awareness of not telling everyone who'll listen that you've been made a scapegoat and that you're 'really' innocent. instead, like Alpha, you should accept the facts of your case and move else to reinvent yourself. my only real concern now being that i'll never be able to return home, a luxury my friend can enjoy.
