Good move. Now they should follow this step forward with the introduction of capital punishment for convicted rapists.

Safferz;980089 wrote: More importantly, very few people can afford to have more than two or three children, yet that doesn't stop our people from overbreeding anyway and ignoring financial planning with the belief that Allah will provide for their hellspawn. I'm sure this is a contibuting factor to why we're generally one of the poorest immigrant groups in every country we settle in. Actually, having a lot of children is one of our biggest money making schemes lol.

Alpha what are your political leanings? Choose the one that u support from each category below, and let's how see much we converge. I know there is much overlap, but just play along. Free Markets vs Keynesianism vs Socialism Democracy vs Autocracy/Oligarchy Socially Conservative vs Liberal Secular vs Islamist

Alpha Blondy;980038 wrote: yeah. there's plenty of places, abti. below some are listed and the type of crowd they attract. Summer Time - pseudo qurbo joog folks from Arabia and Malaysia and their local dhaqan aan doofin equivalent mingle. both are attention seeking people of new consequence. there's even an aisle where you could strut yourself, if you wanted. i call it the ''catwalk'' , this is where people of no consequence speculate on your value. it's no wonder tahbrib and other social ills are on the increase. there are plans to further expand this mecca of istusnimo and khiyaale. Safari Hotel - frequented by gadhweyn folks who control large swath of the economy. mostly financiers of Al-Shabaab and other such groups. they just sit there en masse drinking endless cups of tea and compare their piety, the length of their beards and who has memorised more hadith. oblivious to their surroundings and their lion's share ownership of the economy. these folks avoid regular taxation and put the burden of highly priced goods on ordinary citizens. behind the high walls of Safari Hotel, they watch the suffering of ordinary citizens outside. Kulan Art Cafe - located near Jigjiga road. this is literally a mirage in the oasis. it boasts an impressive array of local art, which is their conception of the local. this epicentre of malevolence sells expensive handcrafted jewelry, again for decorative purposes. it's ridiculously expensive. a cafe is $4 and a cup of coffee/tea is $2. usually frequented by hipsters, folks afflicted with a qurbo-joogian romanticist disposition, with an emphasis in consuming ''culture''. this is a regular spot for qurbo chicks to advertise for qalaf. they shamelessly parade their shocking disgusting western-ism without shame nor without according respect for local customs. instead of reducing these extortionate prices and in the process, making it the hub for all folks, Kulan Art Cafe's management, trained in the Dutch ways of doing things, prefers to set up speed-dating type meetings for lustful qurbo folks, where they gleefully stuff their persons with expensively priced daqiiq-based cakes, treats and indulgence. closed now due to the qurbo going back........ the locals being uninterested, with what can only be described as 'offensive caricatures' against local pride. but also being unable to pay $4 for a cake. opposite, this vacated premises, a new place has opened which is not only locally owned but locally affordable. Plant Cafe - you'd think taking a GIANT corporate brand name would lead to business success, sadly that is not the case here. profits are low but qabyaalad is rife. this is the HQ of Hargeisa's beesha haradaan. it's where they congregate and churn out fikir based on fiicilnimo. despite being in my own back yard, this is a place of limitations. rarely do you see anyone who isn't, of, beesha haraadan stock. that is disgusting, ruunti. it's prices are fairly reasonable. coffee is 4000SLSH and it has excellent suqaar. highly worth visitng. after dark, Plant Cafe, under a shadow of darkness, becomes the centre of moral bankruptcy. it's service are no longer limited to suqaar and coffee but other acquired tastes, developed in tandem with political ability. built on a massive complex, Plant Cafe hosts an array of luxuriously decadent services for it's powerful political elite and clientele. Bar Guled - a place where deals are done. the 'i' dotted and the 't' crossed. this is place where the wheelers and dealers of SL meet, ideally meeting behind closed doors and decide the fate of many over an excellent waslad of hilib geel and baaris. Ministers, DGs, international NGO expats, qurbo with a mashruuc in mind, all work together to systemically rape this young democracy, which has defied all odds include colonialism, war, and displacement. we defeated the colonial masters but we are unable to defeat our own qurbo joogs. these people are a by-product of and creation of the west. these folks continue to have an umbilical cord of relations with their adopted former colonial masters. they have been sent back to rob, rape, pillage and destroy of what remains. these folks are in effect continuing the uncompleted mission of the west. this is the same colonial agenda defeated by our grandfathers, for whom the victory bells still toll. but now, the colonial master has succeeded in creating a ill-informed and get-rich-quick schemers. there's a few more places. i'll add. Excellent stuff Alpha. Waiting eagerly for the next installment.

My oral examination is in the spring, but I meet with each of my four examiners every month or so to go over what I've read as a sort of mock exam, so it's just as intimidating and awful. Not to mention if you sound dumb during these sessions, they won't expect much from you on exam day, so in many ways you pass or fail your exam based on how you do during these monthly meetings. Congrats!
