These spring-cleanup-style raids are an annual occurrence in Toronto, but I don't remember ever hearing of one taking place in the Dixon area before. Lol at 'Project Traveller', I wonder if that's a thinly veiled reference to Somali pastoralism.

You can't see the relevance between religion and the main topic of this thread? If that's the case, you're either thickheaded or being disingenuous.

The fact that you brush aside any criticism of Islam is why the discussion in this thread and others like it will remain shallow and fruitless.

If the video is ever released, I demand that Safferz upload a reaction video. I've always wanted to see what a Hyena on acid would look like:)

Your math would make more sense if every Somali woman had septuplets once a year, and even then the growth would exponential rather than a case of simple multiplication

When will the ports be upgraded so that we may export these hotels?

But I have heard independently from others familiar with the goings-on in Toronto that leaders in its Somali community have determined who the owner is and brought intense pressure to bear on him and his family. Toronto's "Little Mogadishu" neighborhood is located in the ward Rob Ford represented when he was a city councillor; though he is a conservative and a racist buffoon, I am told he has long-standing connections to Somali power brokers there. With mentions of Little Mogadishu, Somali power brokers, and leaders in the community essentially making his family an offer they can't refuse. You'd think you were reading the synopsis of a Somali mob novel.

Scapegoating the Somali community for their incompetence. Stay classy Gawker.

Our connectivity. Compare how active this forum is to those of nationalities much larger than our own. Tallaabo;958825 wrote: Our bad characteristics far outweigh the good ones. Even so, there is no harm done by praising what's good.

Before that, Turkey was beholden to the boom and bust of army coups and financial problems. You're either joking or completely ignoring Kemalism.

Oh yes.That airport and the backdrop of a coniferous forest in Puntland seem plausible.

I think some in this thread are confusing the secularists with Euro-butt kissers. While nearly all of the Euro-butt kissers are secularists, it would be naive to think they form the majority as the secular movement is still nationalist in nature.

The Afro-Hashbrowns certainly know how to ruin a good thread.

All it takes for these Africans is for Somalis to make one mistake and they will go all Zulu on them. My apologies. I should have said 'inner Sub-Saharan African'.

From reading press clippings here in Toronto I've noticed that assailants involved in sex grooming, pedophilia and other sex crime activities are disproportionately South Asian or White.

The Somali in me is wary of any potential Ethiopian plans to control our water supplies, but my inner African is rooting for Ethiopia as they're pitted against the egotistical Arabs of Egypt and the granola munching conservationist who have the audacity to chastise a starving nation from the comfort of their hydro-powered, air conditioned offices in Toronto.

Police have arrested a second suspect in the shooting death of Anthony Smith , the man who appears in a photo with Mayor Rob Ford provided to the Star by the same people who have a video that appears to show the mayor smoking crack. The RCMP arrested Hanad Mohamed, 23, in Fort McMurray , Alberta, last Friday after a nation-wide warrant for his arrest was issued. He has been charged with first-degree murder and will appear in a Toronto court Friday. Nisar Hashimi, also 23, turned himself in April 4 after he was named as a suspect. He has been charged with first-degree murder and attempted murder in the death of Smith and shooting of Muhammad Khattak , the other man pictured with Ford. Source: The Toronto Star I guess that confirms our suspicions regarding any Somali involvement in the shooting.

Lol. I know this kid from Edmonton. His Facebook page is blowing up right now.

Definitely one of my childhood favourites. Although the animation is definitely lacking by today's standards. At the risk of sounding like an old geezer, the children's shows of today have no depth compared to the likes of Monster Rancher, Cyber-Six, Gargoyles etc.

Yet, still sub-Saharan Africa would be un-industralized. somethings are just innate to the people and can't be changed and not all human beings on this planet will have the same talents. some facts are just not comfortable and the liberal media won't tell them honestly So you're one of the few Sub-Saharan Africans intelligent enough to see the truth behind Africa's predicament? :rolleyes:
