Sometimes its you that needs to change, be it your attitude, your friends...or they take you as you are. This world is a potter's wheel brother, it spins around and around, and we try our best to shape our lives into something worthy, beautiful and memorable but the whirling clay will become hard if you don't add water and breaks as a result. It will become soft if you add too much and collapses unto itself. You have to find a balance, therefore don't engage the other gender with a concrete mindset, stay fluid. A sister you might have dismissed for petty reasons could have been everything you ever wanted if you remained fluid. Think about, and be honest; did you have five years ago the same world-views, mindset and interests you have today? I personally didn't. Excellent advice Chimera.

Or perhaps he has yet to find his Xalima thereby warranting such comments. If it is the latter I do recommend Wadani, sxb, you send a pm to Aaliyyah if you catch my drift . She has described herself as "cultured" and has displayed her religiousness a countless amount of times. Perhaps this is to draw your attention sxb. Yes, she is intimidating. We all unsuccesfully poked around that tree though our dear friend Alpha, actually I don't know what to call him as I don't know where we stand, has made remarkable strides. Maybe if you are lucky he will share his technique. Nevertheless, I suggest you divulge the status of your love affair so we can put an end to such gossip.

Somalis and their almost inborn propensity to adopt extreme positions. Safferz position (systemic and institutionalized racism/obstacles leading to Somali problems) + Blackflash's position (failure of Somali community due to own shortcomings, coupled with a refusal to take responsibility) = something closer to the truth. Each on it's own represents a half truth, and when root causes r misdiagnosed we either get solutions to problems we aren't facing or ones that will only cover a wound as it festers and rots underneath.

They listen to One Direction, don't mind Rihanna and are pretty much mama's boys. 2) Somalis girls dream of similar destinations, but stick out amongst their female peers due to their unique Somali/Islamic fashion. 3) Alienation ensues, cliques form, girl vs girl fights break out, Somali girls hold their own 4) Individual Somali boys aid their blood-related sisters against the boyfriends of the other female students. 5) The boyfriends eventually one way or another beat up the individual Somali boys through weight of numbers. 6) Somali boys harden in attitude and mentality and gravitate towards one another by forming a group. 7) Somali boys exact revenge and beat up the boyfriends. 8) They either become the alpha-group or like in this video reach a stale-mate. 9) In either case everyone stays out of each-other's business from then on. 10) Somali girls continue with studying and reach their aspirations, some Somali boys however drunk on the power of brotherhood and group-thinking, take this form of comradery from the school-yard to the street by dropping out. 11) They become hardcore gangs and engage other long established hardcore gangs. 12) News headlines galore...and in the end we all blame the Somali fathers...........WTH :confused: Interesting analysis.

AUN.

Just look at all the posts above. Every single person, except Taleexi, gave an opinion that is in line with the narrative endorsed by their respective clans. SMDH.

It at least took some sort of creative technological innovation. Not bad.

Haatu, hadda iyagaaba majority ku ah Dira Dhabe. I think it's like 65% Oromo to 35% Somali.

MAsha'allah, congrats Haatu.

Insha'Allah u'll get accepted into all of them.

Coofle which movie is that...im really curious

I think Malika and Coofle misunderstood me. I wouldn't touch my wife if she did gogol-dhaaf. I'd just utter the golden words three times and boom it's over, and I'd never see her again as she'd be dead to me. I'm talking about going to jail for life by dealing with the guy who would disrespect me as a man and do such a thing with my wife. That's invasion of personal and sacred territory of the worst kind, and someones gotta pay. Or do I got this all wrong?

Safferz;930778 wrote: Satire is a genre of writing that involves using irony, sarcasm, parody, etc in order to make a critique or ridicule something. What you recognized as negative, offensive and stereotypical is precisely the point -- that's how I felt about the original film, so I am mocking it with a continuation of the story. You dont know Alpha yet do u?

Safferz;930643 wrote: I'll help them out by presenting Asad II: Part 1 After walking through the market of his sleepy fishing town with his "catch," Asad visits old man Gacme (he lost his hand in a landmine explosion during the civil war), who reminsces about what Somalia was like before women wore tent-like religious garb and could sunbathe half-naked on the sandy beaches. Since no one in his town has ever seen a cat before (but see lions on a daily basis, and so can relate the strange creature's resemblance to its larger cousin), Asad continues to explain to the impoverished, illiterate villagers about his find as he walks home. The camera cuts to scenes of women peering out beneath their veils, several AK-47s and a rocket launcher, a toddler with a protruding belly, crying while his mother swats flies away from his face, before zooming in on bullet holes in the wall behind them and cutting to the next scene. Hearing yelling and slaps outside of the hut he shares with 10 people, Asad listens at the door and realizes that his father has returned home with a second wife. His mother's battered face shows both physical and emotional distress, but she resigns herself to the fact she has no control as a woman in a deeply patriarchal society. And your useless daughters, his father says, what man will want them if they have not been cut? What will protect their modesty, and prevent them from engaging in shameful behaviours like the infidels? Asad continues to listen as his mother promises she will take the girls to the old woman in the village responsible for circumcisions tomorrow, Faro Dheer. It is only then, she says, that they will be ready for us to arrange their marriages. A friend calls out to Asad to let him know that Al-Shabaab religious extremists are closing in on the town, and that he's received word that they have banned sambuusa, Asad's favourite snack. The small lion wimpers in his arms, as if confirming with the movie watcher's fears that no good can come from Islam. The distant crackling of gunfire can be heard in perfect harmony with the call to prayer. TO BE CONTINUED LMAO...excellent, just excellent. For a self-proclaimed cultural critic im dismayed that the well crafted satire in ur post was lost on Alpha.
