'cultural nights' and other such elitist festivities, commodify our cultures and give them glimpses of the 'ethnic'..........that puts them within touching distance of exotic far-flung places. these spectacles of sorts and engrossing performances during ''cultural night'' make a mockery of our cultures......and our learned brothers and sisters, particularly those afflicted with an inferiority complex, perform for their white masters as though in an anthropological zoo. cultures must always be considered in terms of their place of origin and no matter how 'cultured' one might be, one must wholly understand there will always be barriers of entry into other cultures. balse, we know white folks and Somali liberal alike seek to have insights into other cultures through the arts or by listening to the music of that particular country. and yet conscious cultural critics like myself appreciate and wholly understand; it doesn't make you more familiar with the said culture. p.s - excellent Gurage song. really awesome. i sing along all the time. :cool:

interesting. i went to the opening of a major investment conference last week. if you factor the SDC into your predictions, the budget will exceed it's projected growth this financial year.

a busy and decisive week ahead. but tonight is movie night and i shall enjoy what remains of my weekend.

I know as much about this as you do lol, sorry. i'm not sure if i could risk my artifact being taken away and then displayed in the British Museum. these folks are known for such behaviours. my friend who's a gemstone dealer had a precious stone taken away from him. the story goes...... the authorities somewhere in yurubta dheexe confiscated his diamond for fueling civil wars (blood diamonds). they thought he was Charlies Taylor oo kale. according to him it was worth €800,000. this unfortunate incident didn't deter him from coming back to SL. he'd stock up on rations and disappear for months on end searching for precious stones. caajib.

Despite efforts from aides to tempt the boy off the stage with promises of sweets, he refused to budge. Apparently unperturbed by the huge audience, the boy happily stood next to Pope Francis and then hugged his leg. The Pontiff responded by patting him on the head and carrying on with his speech. Then the bold youngster waved at the crowd and even led one girl up to receive a gift before sitting himself in the Pope's chair to the amusement of onlookers. a cynical ploy by the vatican?

good to see it's busy again.

I'm just not following your arrogance of thinking that Allah is not going to forgive sins when he himself says in the next Aya "turn ye to your lord in repentance and bow to his will before the penalty comes" obviously he is asking us to turn to him in repentance. I just can't sit here and tell you that he meant a green light to commit sins, but obviously he meant to repent if we do fall to sins. The only thing he doesn't forgive according to my understanding is those who take others as his partners.I think it is arrogant to preach that he, the merciful, is out there to get you while all along he says he is just and merciful to his creation. cause and effect. action and reaction. ying and yang. waad garatay?
