^^^ you suck at venting. Okay, answer me this. Why do faraaxs only hit on Somali girls. They always whisper to each other in Somali: Faraax1: "she's somali" Faraax2: "no she's not" Faraax1: "I'm telling you, she is", Faraax2: "no, she looks like a bloody thai", Faraax1: "man, have you ever seen a thai?" Faraax2: "maybe mongolese, crossbred with Jamaicans and Indians" Faraax1: "dude, have you ever actually laid eyes on an Indian, or a Jamaican, or a Mongolese for that matter." Faraax2: "or maybe Russian" ....this goes on for a bit. Until one of them decides that I'm definitely Somali, and ONLY THEN, do they try to hit on me. I'm not saying I want to be hit on, seriously I really really don't (most of the time ), but what is it with Somali guys, are girls only worth hitting on if they're Somali, or do they think I'm easier to get if I'm Somali. Should I be insulted and slap them up their skinny ***, or should I be flattered? Yeah, that sort of pisses me off sometimes.

Otanjoubi Omedetou gozaimasu! Happy Birthday in Japanese. Also, how was the cake? Was it creamy and rich, or crumbly and sizzling? What was the filling, what was the base made of? Any sweetened fruit on top? Did you sink your teeth into a delicious impatient bite or did you savour the cream, examined the lucious lemon undertones with your tongue only to be surprised with the lingering taste of cinammon and blueberry. Oh God, tell me, HOW WAS THE CAKE?

^^Yeah, what's up with that? Yeah I've seen the video too. Bloody racists.

You can count on my support too. But you better start training your feet off, Ramadan is almost over and January is just 'round the corner. Just don't work with a Somali trainer. Last one I had, literally whipped me for drinking water, because she thought it was slowing me down. 'Cause you know, only fat people drink water. :rolleyes:

I was wondering about wiggling thing. I first noticed when I went to taraweeh prayers this year. I thought you only had to raise it when saying "ash-hadu la ilaha" etc. Am I doing it wrong? Also the things you pointed out, are they wrong or not. Like I tend to raise my hands for the second takbeer, but I've noticed others don't, so I've tried not to do it.

I have noticed myspace has made people lazy. Some friends I see every single day, don't even bother to call instead they send me messages over myspace, knowing full well that my internet connection is pretty much non-existent these days. It's okay for people you don't see every day, but those you do, have no business contacting me on myspace, they already have the privilege of being in my super-exclusive phonebook. It's like they're voluntarily downgrading to economy after a stint in business. :confused:

Ash Tree (the Ambition) — extremely attractive, vivacious, impulsive, demanding, does not care for criticism. Ambitious, intelligent, talented, likes to play with fate, can be very egotistic, reliable, restless lover, sometimes money rules over the heart, demands attention, needs love and much emotional support. Puuuhhlease, I'm much more high-maintenance than that!

Ooh no, that's what I get for being offline for so long, I've missed so many film festivals already. I really would have liked to go.

Watch really violent martial arts movies. And imagine your ex's face on every henchmen the hero defeats. It really helps.

Personally I prefer the noisiness of the gold souk, rather than the plastic City Centre that everyone goes so crazy over. I love those alleyway cafes and hidden shops where you buy cheap China-made products. To me, that's the real Dubai. Bleh, I liked it better when no one knew where Dubai was. Now every chav in the UK has been there.

Originally posted by Abaadir: quote:Originally posted by Xulaxu I myself would never do it, for obvious reasons, What are the obvious reasons? Oh religion, pain, risk, possible dodgy results, money and my deranged suspicion of all things hospital related. To be honest, if it weren't for all those things, I'd probably do it too.

Ever since the summer started, I've been having a love affair with the diirac. When it's scorching hot like today, a diirac is the most cooling thing you can wear, without pulling out the hot pants.

I wonder if it's just younger unmarried girls who are doing it, or do all kinds of Somali women do it. I myself would never do it, for obvious reasons, but I can understand why any woman would want to change things about herself. Our opinion and awareness of beauty is more specific than it used to be, and in a culture which promotes a specific understanding of what's beautiful, women will obviously want to keep up, and Somali women are no different. I guess insecurity knows no colour.

Originally posted by Socod_badne: God said in the Quran we can marry up to 4 wives. Period. That's your problem right there, a line in the Holy Quran or hadiths, and bam, you've got your edicts. Never mind the considerations, the cross-referencing with other texts, the conditions and examples of the Prophet (pbuh) and his companions. If only those quabbling esteemed Muslim scholars could see things as black and white as you do, because after all, any uninformed id*ot could pick any random verse to gain perfect understanding of an entire religion. :rolleyes:

It makes me wonder what goes through people's minds when they are so intent on withholding any opportunity to exercise one's intellect and free will in adhering to Islamic law. I wonder how far one can go in protecting people from themselves. I'd say from what I hear, that many muslim countries have gone too far, to the extent where you now have an abundance of involuntary piety and that as we know, means nothing. Another thing which bothers me is these so called unofficial morality policemen (the ones mentioned in the article and in general). Have they so little to worry about in their own lives, so little vices and sins committed, that they have the spare time to protect others from committing sins? Allah bless them for their intentions, but oh my God has does their self-righteousness piss me off. There's much to be said for the West in this regard. At least here we are free to choose piety, and when we do, I'm sure it counts for a lot more than it does in the KSA.

I don't know, if I had just been beaten up by a gang, I'd jump right out of a moving bus to get away from them too. Horrible really, please post more news if you've got it.

Great work as usual Conspiracy, do you use Illustrator? I'm still trying to get my head around that program. I've been browsing your site and I must say I really like all the other pieces you have up there, will definitely link to it when I've finished my new site. (If you don't mind).

I knew it! The doctors didn't understand my symptoms, they all failed to diagnose me and eventually they tried to ignore it, but deep down inside I knew I was sick with something dreadful and when I looked into their tired eyes, I knew it was contagious. But I so much to live for, so many videogames to play, and one day I'll get better, I have to, for my family. For now, I need your help. Please light a candle for me and donate generously to my luxury retirement fund so I can recover from my condition before it's too late.

I don't see how it's different from prostitution, after all in both cases you're selling parts of your body. By the way, how many human eggs would it take to make an omelette??? :confused:

^^^ lol, I so agree with that. If it weren't for some Islamic directive or another telling us to have kids, I'd take the humane option of not having any any. Seriously though, for a Somali kid growing up in the West, it can frustrating when you see the parents of white kids doting on them, hugging them and playing them. I think there are plenty of good older parents, who teach their children patiently all they need to know but I haven't heard of many who actually play with their kids. Me, I was lucky. Even now, at the age of 23, my Daddy never leaves the house, without kissing my mum, my sister and I goodbye and telling us he loves us. He constantly tries to think of ways to make us laugh, you know, by thinking of silly surprises for our birthdays. My Mum sometimes tries to act stern, but she's just as mushy as my dad really. They both have this romantic idea of parenthood. The only problem is education. My parents always provided us with money for materials, incentives to study anything we wanted etc. But after I reached 10 years, apart from the Holy Quran, there wasn't anything they could teach me, that I couldn't learn faster. That's when I sense how different my family is, from my non-somali friends' families. It's a matter of time before kids overtake their Somali parents in terms of language and Western knowledge. As such you don't really get the guidance other Western kids would get, because not only are they from a different generation, but they're also so culturally removed from their kids as well. Anyway, having a father does help, and having one which is similar to the Western experience of parenthood does help for a kid growing up in the West. You can say all you want about the West, but they do take childhood seriosuly, rather than viewing as merely an unfortunate means to adulthood.

Witchcraft!

You can also see the same enterprising spirit here in the UK Somali community. More and more businesses are owned by Somalis, and I see more Somali women working, where previously they were just happy to get their benefits. It seems people are finally catching up with their brothers and sisters in Dubai.

^^^ if they were discussing Isa(pbuh) in an Islamic context and our religion in general, then it would be up to us to defend it. However, when someone writes something fictional about church dogma that we as Muslims, find to be wrong in the first place, we cannot protest against The Da Vinci Code without protesting against the Christian church. That's why I think it's a Christian problem, and if you want to protest against it because you're against religious defamation, then sure go ahead (because God knows we've been the victim of that!). But if you want to complain about how Nabi Isa (pbuh) is misrepresented, then to be consistent, you should also complain just as loudly about church dogma. PS. Hizb, I suggest you don't read any papers, watch TV or listen to the radio, because everyone is talking about how rubbish the film is. But it's still better than the book though.

^^^ the movie is rubbish....really, I was counting the extras in the background by the end of it. And as for muslims joining the religious outrage bandwagon, puhh-lease.... if they are really so concerned about people spreading 'lies' about Jesus(pbuh), why don't they complain about accepted church dogma instead, which from an Islamic point of view, is much worse (e.g saying God has a son etc.). Of all the things to get worried about. :rolleyes: As far as I'm concerned, the Christian faith and the general Western understanding of it, is so far removed from what we believe, that any changes made to that belief is entirely the responsibility of Christians to defend, and it has nothing to do with us.
