Oba, as a self-proclaimed ladies man u should show some sympathy, everyone isn't as lucky.

Keep ur head up bro. Don't let it effect ur self-esteem.

So Narniah, what do u find attrative in men?

Someone can have a light skin and yet not be good looking where as maybe someone who has a darker skin could have better facial features and be more good looking then that person. It's wrong for some people to think light skin colour equals being beautiful. Beauty is in all skin colours. +1

Ibti plz share, im curious.

I've been told I look like Chris brown before, and trust me I did not take it as a compliment. To me, he looks like a light skin daanyeer lol. Narniah, I think girls find any light skin guy attractive without even really taking in the facial features. I know many handsome darker brothers who don't get as much attention from girls as average looking light skin guys.

lol, Blue was thanking u for ur initial post.

Qabiil is watever u make it. I ask ppl their qabiil sometimes and I tell them mine without any qualms, because I don't make it the issue a lot of somalis make it. Maybe it's because I grew up in a reer waqooyi home, where whenever someone is mentioned the question that invariabley follows is "waa qoloma?" lool. The funny thing is my mom and others in my fam are very progessive when it comes to qabiil, and would allow my siblings and I to marry from any clan, but from first impressions many of u would think otherwise lol.

A religious term? The word akbar is an Arabic term my friend and it doesn't neccessarily have a religious connotation. For example I can say Haathal-bait akbaru min baitik. This house is greater (in this context 'bigger') than your house. If ur implying that akbar is a superlative, than use it in the sentence I just gave u and lets see what u get. Hadaan kuu af soomaaliyayo Allahu akbar waxay noqonaysaa Ilaahay baa ka wayn ee ma noqonayso Ilaahay baa ugu wayn.

It's not known to the world as such is it? Africans don't control the names their continent and countries are given anymore than they control their socio-economic and political destinies. The white man creates a self-serving reality, and all others to varying degrees are subject to living within its confines.

It's a shame that present day Africans have almost nothing to call their own, not even the name of their own continent. Sad.

^ ur not a good person.

I see what u mean, but i'd like to think SOL isnt like just any other somali forum out there. Haduu ilaahay nafta ii daayo, I may drop by every now and then.

ur respone to wyre

Y do u say that Blue?

^ Fair point.

Not neccessarily. It still works well in large northern Somali cities, where an aggressive colonial power and a debilitiating civil war have not eroded the cultural and social fabric of the society as they have in the south. Ppl need to realize that the south's problems are every much socio-cultural as they are politcal.

^ Easy for u to say, cuz that young girl in Mogadishu wasn't ur daughter or sister.

Yes I would kill child rapists and murderers, with in the confines of the judiciary, if given the means and capabilities. I wonder what kind of warped definition of justice it is u ascribe to? Care to enlighten those of us wallowing in Plato's cave?

That explains it.

Apo, who said I would or could do this in real life? lol. Also, explain how my morality is dubious, unless u were just itching to use that word all day?

lol, not i spell it with an 'X'. But the word shaah doesn't have that coarse gutteral sound at the end of it.

Che no i won't, because they killed to achieve worldy gains and to satisfy their base desires at the expense of others, while I would kill them to avenge the innocent and tip the scales in favour of justice. Big difference there don't u think?

Apo I can't tell if ur being disingenuous or not. But if u aren't then u seriously need Soomaali literacy classes asap!!

Pretty much:). But this time the killing would be selective and targeted as opposed to indiscriminate. Think of it as a great purge that will cleanse the Somali society.
