Unless you want to live in Hooya's house for several years, save up your money, borrow some money from your Uncle's, sell your car, cat, clothes, books, TV's, and then purchase your house... I don't think many people would wanna do that. So renting seems much better why is renting better bro? what if your landlord wants you out?

This highly political film about the Algerian struggle for independence from France took "Best Film" honors at the 1966 Venice Film Festival. The bulk of the film is shot in flashback, presented as the memories of Ali, a leading member of the Algerian Front de Liberation Nationale (FLN), when finally captured by the French in 1957. Three years earlier, Ali was a petty thief who joined the secretive organization in order to help rid the Casbah of vice associated with the colonial government. The film traces the rebels' struggle and the increasingly extreme measures taken by the French government to quell what soon becomes a nationwide revolt. After the flashback, Ali and the last of the FLN leaders are killed, and the film takes on a more general focus, leading to the declaration of Algerian independence in 1962. Director Gillo Pontecorvo's careful re-creation of a complicated guerrilla struggle presents a rather partisan view of some complex social and political issues, which got the film banned in France for many years. 10/10.

At times when the xamaasad takes them some get a knife/toorey and actually cut themselves. A neighbour once did back in the day, it was a sight Garissa had better change it's image problem quick, ma taaqan? i say this not out of pure hatred but it appears Adan Duale & Co aren't doing a good job in promoting the city to the outside world. Garissa, as you claim, has made great strides in recent years, but that it continues to churn out this sort of nonsense and is defined by it....is pathetic. as a town planning graduate, i wrote my thesis on: ''Wannabe World Cites: Urban Regeneration Through Planned Transformations''. here, i wrote about how cities are restructuring to become international hubs in the global networked economy. in particular i focused on Bilbao (largest city in the Basque Region in Northern Spain, Dubai (UAE) and Gaborone (Botswana). writing extensively on these cities and their attempts to become ''Wannabe World Cities'', i concluded my thesis on how we can take lesson from these cities. weird examples, ma istidhi? :cool: ^^^Bilbao's iconic Guggenheim Museum.

so we passed the 7,000 posts, maha? on the 3rd of October 2013, this thread also celebrated it's one year anniversary, apparently. in that 1 year and a bit, many things have changed. Alpha B - nothing has changed nor improved in my life. life seems so rotten but Alhamdullah. Haatu finished high school. now want's to get married. caajib. what a little saqaajaan akhi. Oba was BANNED (R.I.P) Cambuulo went to Mogadishu and survived. Saffz seems absorbed in her community college studies. she (Meg Ryan without the weird lips) traveled to Hargeisa and met Alpha (Tom Hanks in Cast Away). Saffz played Meg Ryan and Alpha played Tom Hanks and Billy Crystal in...... When Alpha Met Saffz, Sleepless in Hargeisa and You've Got a PM. . Apo is now a Muslim, traveled back to Africa and seems to exude Afrocentricity. schizophrenic tendencies. Wadani - no improvements to his life. has no made no progress whatsoever. i suspect he's suicidal and don't be surprised if he blows up a restaurant near Lido Beach soon. SPooow - apparently 'real' despite my suspicions. odd guy. seems shallow and lack confidence. pretends to be 'middle class'. i imagine he's reached a glass ceiling of sorts in his professional life. pretends to be Africa...weird. D.O.C - apparently imports illegal foox to Omen. he's not genuine about SL. Qansax - cult member of the Mungiki, i reckon. i doubt he's even Somali. well mannered and seems ok. Aabbas - tech-freak sort of character. quite annoying but decent fellow overall. idealist and living in a bubble. i don't think he has friends in real life. a zealot. Taalabo - first openly gay member on SOL. weird guy but solid on the politics. maybe Peter Tatchell Reeyo - now you see her, now you don't. i suspect she's a single mother living in a rundown council estate with good internet connectivity. Juxa - the best of the rest. :D they say you can read so much about a person's musings, ma ruubna? ;)
