Hold up folks! I thought the educated Somalis ruled this part of the cyper world but your this belittled arguments makes me wonder if I am really right to assume as such. Coz you all sound like the ignorant self-righteous so called Islamic scholars I have encountered in Puntland. Everyone back home or in diaspora, knows that sex outside marriage is ZINA and Xaram, nonetheless that doesn't seem to stop them. THEY ARE DOING IT. The percentage of AIDS infected among Somalis is on the rise, and if we don't take swift steps in creating awareness then half if not more of the population will die in a decade or two. Protection or Condom is one of the ways to atleast slow down the spread of AIDS people's minds have matured enough to know that AIDS is indeed a reality. Majority of the Somalis back home think that AIDS is for the gaalo, and that a muslim will never get it. Go figure, they are dying by the dozens. To my knowledge condom is a bliss and should be encouraged, anyone with a strong Imaan will not be astrayed by a simple rubber. And the assumption of any gaal who extends helping hand, has a hidden agenda is jaahilnimo. So please folks!

I wonder if Somaliland suffers from the post traumatic massacre that the rest of Somalis or Siyad Bare Regime took the blame for it, then why are all the leaders that ever got to the presidential seat in Somaliland are residues of Siyad bare's regime? Why can't we find new faces? Why hasn't Siilanye who was part of SNM and fought for the independence of Somaliland lost the elections and one who was part of Bare's regime won? If this isn't hypocricy I don't know what is.

Legends of the Fall Message in a bottle Persuasions Pretty woman Two can Play that game Garab: Batamisi nahin karna. Wesa bukana acha nahin hoti hai. Aur tumbhi kiya bholna, kutounki tara bhogte ho. Mein sirf masag kar rahi houn, mujhe tang mad dena. Wo ghane ache hai, bes tera pehla wala kuch kuchse nahin, Dil wale dulhaniya Le jayese hai. Meri bhi fav ghana hai.

Cutie: U didn't cover about the love u feel for those that u never smelt, touched or even shook hands with. So what about their signs? :confused: And like QacQac said, I don't think dying for someone is an option.. and don't bring me the Boodhari crap.. he did of TB/Malnutrition.

Nur: How would you classify me? Since u r an expert in that field, coz I don't belong to any of the three categories ..... so here is a briefing of me.. I sometimes wear Dirac, Jeans, Hijab with cibaya/shuko etc. I don't how ever, expose too much flesh.. I like to keep folks guessing if u know what I mean... Marka aboowihiis.. Classify me plzz

Can't stand men who stand around the cafe` shops staring. Can't stand guys that are arrogant and boastful. Can't stand pretty boys ( I see gay when I look at them sorry) Can't stand guys who are too self centered. I see insecurity, which is a weakness. For now that would do!

OK... seems like the topic is for two ppl.. but if I voice my opinion... I think feminism has been some what exxagerated by most. To me feminism is someone who advocates for the implementation of women's rights. As we all know, Islam has indeed given us fairness, but it has been mingled with culture and majority of the rights given to women has been deprived.. so in that case we do need advocates... and that is what feminists do. As for being feminine. I think a woman who knows that she is a woman, that her priorities are her kids , then to me she is feminine. As for career, I think, it is between the couple, and should be left the decision to them. If they agree that she should work, then there is nothing wrong with it. If she chooses to stay at home, then that should be ok too... OG-Girl: I am with u on this... If he wants to pamper me, and provide for me... . girlie... I am willing to put my a$$ down.. and chill!

Darmaan: Even after leaving Saudi, their stories follow you.. MY GOD :rolleyes: .. Just kidding.. Girls/guys who can't contemplate a story like this taking place, trust me, when you live in arab world.. everything is a possibility.. I hear too many BS..that are hard to believe... Coming back to the story.. Sorry.. I want a real man who would kick his friend's *** for going behind his back.. otherwise what is he good for??

To me...Flirting is actually fun..and I do it more .. but that doesn't mean.. I want the guy sexually and I certainly don't think of him as such.. so it is ok... he can joke, laugh and even tease me, as long as he keeps his hands to himself... that is all I require... so personaly.. I believe life would be boring without flirtation!

Maybe you guys need to think a lil bit about it b4 you jump to conclusions... it does make sense if u bother to read betwen the lines. MS: Sista, his women has always been Somali. Ajinabi isnot an option. Secondly to answer ur ques.. of why it made me smile? Well, given the current situation among the somali brothers n sisters, when u see a brotha that appreciates and respects his sisters, it does bring smile to your face.. atleast that is what it did to me.. coz I cherish moments like that... Rudy: That says one thing aboutyou "SELFISH".

Hey brothas, A friend of mine said to me something that literally made me smile and hope that my brothas feel the same.. so do you guys feel the same way too :rolleyes: ? "If I meet the personal needs of a woman I blv that I have fulfilled a responsibility towards my country".....

Spadez: I didn't criticize anyone based on their lahja or accent or whatever u call it. So brotha don't do the comparison ...Now where in my words did I do that, since u claim it to be so? DND: Sista, I will soon, markaan London kuugu imaado u owe me a spaghetti dinner .. hadan koob shaah ah ayaa ku darsamay, with all spices... especially made for moi.. mind u.. I only have BIGEYS India: I rest my case sista.. marka have a KoolAid and calm ur nerves

Sad, that we get dissected like that... if a black guy gives me a compliment or not... to me it doesn't make a difference.. coz what we somali girls are.. we know n that is enough! But walaahi i was pissed off... how can u guys take pride in this... guys from who knows where appreciating your women... ( I am talking to both the girls n guys) Shame on YOU :mad:

garab: SHukaamiska yaa u diiday abudhabi..... FYI.. meeshaan koo joogo weli salaan ma ka qaadin... maba iigu baxdo sheekada nooh... kistoo laga roone camal ay u dhaqmaan...

Caramel: Where did your humor spirits go macaanteey... see kaa noqotay? Me is just dheedheeling u dee .. is jafjaf..hadii kale... bidaarta dheer aan kaa salaaxaa

India: If you are too ingorant of the facts of Somalia don't bother to involve yourself in one. Secondly, my somali is Xamari and actually I speak or write them with pride, and that doesn't make me any less lander. Believe me, I was held in high spirits when I set my feet on the Somaliland soil. So sister as u can c, I know my roots and I show off my birthplace with pride! Many have ridden this road, it doesn't take you anywhere, so as an adivce from a sister, don't try to belittle anyone because of an accent.

Alle ya raxma! He was indeed a role model to many. And he was a good man! May he rest in Heaven.

definitely die young life or death?

Man plzzz.... OK seriously I never got the nerve to ask a guy out.. Although I have waited for a guy to ask me out for 3 months, and when he finally did, tooooooooooo tooooooooooooo late it was! I had better fish to fry . I don't normally reject guys, they run after talking to me. They feel intimidated.. so anyone who can help :confused: Shujui If I was, I wouldn't take advice from our crazy friend sophist trust me his a$$ is on sale all year.. and no one is willing to buy

Abaa saas aa faamoos noo noqdaa inta kale been... macbuud alle... makaroofiyaal fiyooro loo taagaayo kuwaan ka hor ma i soo marin! :eek:

Let me ask u this, since u guys brought it up... why can't u let us (women) pay sometimes? OK! If it is a date, I believe it is the man's role to pay, but when just a guy n a girl went for a coffee or a dinner and they r just friends why can't the guy let the girl pay? I am serious. It so happened the other day, that I took my friend who came from Dubai to dinner and I handed the woman my card, he got so pissed off, but guess what I did, I called the waitress, took my card back and told him.. PLEASE do me the honors. About date n being broke, well it doesn't hurt to let your partner know that u r a bit short on the bling bling part.. and that it would be nice for him or her to take a turn this time MMA: maxaa too bajiyo ku shukaamisay, oo darbi fadhiisisay.. run sheeg meeqo jeeer aa fiilo fargan dhakab dhakab niilagu siiyey... kkk
