Haye, JB, are you happy with your new BB? ^^

loooooll @ MMA: thank you for the laugh ^^

You should try deactivating Aaliyyah! ^^ The reason I deactivated mine, is because I didn't want FB to control my life. I'd rather be addicted to something more ... worthwhile, then Facebook. looll. I'm taking a step back, and move on from there

I think Lolita dresses are cute, suits those Japenese girls. Which is my main point, it suits them Chi.

Looll @ Juxa, married sisters rock. Ik voel me buitengesloten? I only use fb to communicate with friends/family. No reason for something else, I say. I've deactivated mine recently, let's see how long I will be able to stay off ^^

looooll, this is just too funny.

Nice Vans, I like the twist to the song. I can hear the resemblance with the original one (yes, sadly I've heard it before)

Vans;707227 wrote: Easy pulling the haram card here people. It's an innocent day of fun and games. Good point. I just find it to being a day where people tolerate and expect jokes to be pulled especially in my line of work. Other days, not so much. And what is it that you do in your ''line of work'', if I may ask ^^ My curiousity is just getting to me, you don't have to answer that.

No offence, but why wait for April Fools day to do this sort of stuff, when you can do it any time of the year? Or would those jokes be inappropriate or unaccepted on any other day? Same goes for Valentine's Day.

What goes around comes around.

JB: Field study? That's a waste of effort, they won't give me enough credit for that Nuune: I believe you live in a fantasy world dear, ka soo bax, it's doing you no good. Legend of Zu: I was referring to globalisation in general. I'm not intending to get into one specific area, if that's what you meant? Globalisation is a term we frequently hear in today's world relating to politics and the environment. My understanding of it is that it refers to the fact that we are living in one world where individuals, groups and nations have become more interdependent. I'm interested in: - the economic factors, - political factors, and of course - the rise of information and communication technology. Ismahaan: Waad mahadsantahay dear, those links are very helpful, I will go through them.

I've decided to put my question in General, even though it might be more appropriate in the Politics/Debate department. As many people browse here, I'm hoping to get more information on my following question. I'm doing a research on the effects of globalisation on a developing/undeveloped country. Since I'm interesting in my own country and hopefully learn about it through this, I'm thinking about choosing Somalia as that country. My question to you walaalayaal, first of all, do you consider Somalia as an developing country or rather undeveloped? Explain. Officially, according to the IMF (International Monetary Fund), Somalia is on the list of merging/developing countries (2010). And when I say, Somalia, I do mean Somalia as a whole, so Somaliland as well. Second, having that said, has globalisation effected Somalia, in what way? Obviously there's a big difference before and after the civil war. Mind pointing out the main differences? Please discuss, and hadalka ii jilci, I do want to understand and learn something here. Thanks in advance! M.

Exactly, which is why I find it convenient ^^

@Zack: I've got it for a few days now. I really like it so far. I myself have got an Android phone, with Whatsapp I am able to "ping" with other Android users, and Blackberry and Iphone users aswell. Definitely comes in handy. Plus you can send messages thru Whatsapp to Abroad contacts. The app is free btw. You don't need ping numbers as with the Blackberry Ping. Whatsapp automatically sets up your contacts, the ones who have Whatsapp aswell are shown in your Whatsapp contacts. I'd say, give it a try!

Isn't it possible to just pray IN the car, while sitting I mean?

It's like the Ping for Blackberry, but with Android and Iphone as well. Does anyone have this app? And do we like it? Or not so much? Cheers!

I can't really say if this is considered as a joke, but it sure did make me laugh! Mind the inappropriateness! lol I wonder if men really think like this Oh, and sorry if you've already heard/read this.

Welcome hun!! Hope u enjoy your time here ^^

I know a somali girl who married a converted dutchmen. They've got two beautiful girls masha'allah. But as their father is dutch, they're officially dutch and not somali. Personally I know their hooyo which makes them for me a little more somali than dutch ^^ Don't know of that makes sense

@ Rudy: why don't you just buy a puppet, it'll do everything you want as well ^^

MG, ii waran bal horta. Loooll @ bacda iska fur. Walaalo macaneey, that's not the first time I'm hearing that one. I do agree with you in a way. It works for some people. I don't think there's something wrong with it, as long as one's intentions are honest I suppose ^^

Are you thinking about marrying someone you met online, Mareeg Girl? Personally, I'm a bit sceptic about the whole subject. People aren't always what they appear to be online... In your first meeting, what if your guy turns out to be ... let's get crazy ... a town rapist, or a serialkiller, child molester etc. That just freaks me out loooll, I always go for the worst
