Cartanow, ma kala aqano shaqal dheer iyo shaqal gab iyo xarfaha labalaamo. teeda kale marki aan afka hooyo wax ku qoro waa ley aflagaadeya oo lagu yirahda: xamari, sijuu, lagu ma fahamaye ee af somali ku hadal/qor!!!! maxa talo ah. Ruuntii aniga luqada waxaan uu arka 'tool' fududeeya 'communication'. Marka haddi luqada kale ee qofka uu fududeeneyso communication dee waa caadi marka!

My second vote goes to this charming girl: Hibo Reason: she is so flirtatious on me.

Walaalo, waad ku mahadsantahy waanada. laakin, dadka dhalinta eeh af somaaliga qorin kama aha somaali diid ... ee afkii ayaa nagu adag.... anigaa iska hadlaaya. imika jawaabtan yar aan kuu soo qorayo, hadii aan af ingriisi ku qori lahaa 2 mirir bey qaadan lahaayd.... maalinkasta, meelkasta waxaan qoraa english ..... i never have to write or read somali .... so it takes me longer when i am presented with a situation like this one. (sorry i have 2 switch english cos this message is just taking 2 long - i feel like an idiot now lol) Meel baan ka akheriyey in uu afka hooyo dadka siiyo quwad .... language equals power. For example, markii ay ingriisku colonise gareeyeen african countries they took away afkoodi and gave them the african language. imika the same situation ayaan ku jirnaa .. we are powerless and hence language less. somaliga wasn't in print for a long time, so a lot of parents (esp. mothers) are illiterate in the language making it more difficult to teach their children somali in qurbaha. In some high schools in London, they are starting to offer somali as an exam subject. That wasn't possible when i was in high school, but i think it would be great if this was extended across the western world. It is up to us, as somalis to preserve our language and heritage........ I liked da poem by the way ..... Hadraawis somali is hard tho. Salaaaams,

Especially Somali Women. They are expert on this field. Rolling their eyes, giving dirty looks, whispering comments as soon as they see another female, some will even walk right past staring like there's no 2morrow. I was in Toronto last summer, in the process of visiting relatives, I happened to ride an elevator in Dixon with an Old woman(late 50's early 60's.) She was wearing athletic socks on her hands and feet, stuffed like a medical cast. The first time I saw this I was alarmed and thought that she had somehow simultaneously broken her hands and feet, I Smiled and said my Islamic greetings (asalam alaikum), To my surprise she says " You Somali"? Not even responding to my greetings..I said, "Eedo Haa Somali baan ahay" she giggles and says "NO NO, You No Somali" till this day it bewilders me what her reasoning was, either she was bluntly arrogant or wanted to practice her English on me. Being so curious about the socks in her hands, i let her comments slide by, and asked what happened to her but then she explained that she was decorating her body with henna -- some new trick to do after the henna is washed off-- So, KoolKat it beats me too, wish I was a psycologist and figure out myself the method behind their rudeness. I like the above poster's poem, its so true.. Smile is a free therapy. God Bless. ------------------ Live today to the fullest because tomorrow is not promised".

A smile can perk up the weary, bring cheer to the discouraged, sunshine to the sad, and is nature's best antidote for trouble. Yet it cannot be bought, begged, borrowed or stolen, for it is something that is of no value to anyone until it is given away. When people are too tired to give you a smile, give them one of yours. No one needs a smile so much as he who has none to give.

lulla.. i think 2 things tat real mates respesct or watch for each other is 1.thier siters 2. and ex's---- specially,specially (sisters)

brother J-11 We don't want to be shamelessly confuse like Tiger Woods, saying i am half this & half that, As long as u got african blood in u; u are simply African, let it be 1/4 even. There is no such thing as mono-typic, you have to identify yourself oneway or another unless you have issues with one side & you trying to distance yourself from that & in that case I can understand your theory. peace.

caydiid, adiga u got some issues wallahi. anyway, i luv ma mom off course, but i didn't think luving ma mom is laughable at all. and oh yeah, i luv ma dad too as much as i luv ma mom, but i never got to see him cuz he died when i was born. mothers are very special. peace.

What about our girls from around the hood, repect!! Somali all stars in melbourne, Victoria baby Somali women bringing Somalis closer and together, still stitching us into unity..respect! [This message has been edited by JamaaL-11 (edited 03-29-2002).]

Saturday night fever

and we are proud, yeah we are and this can't buy this, do get my drift? [This message has been edited by JamaaL-11 (edited 03-29-2002).]

cmon man! you know you cant mess with my crew lool

I agree with bachelor 100%.somalis(so called leaders) are ignorants and arogant! they said they are fighting over controling and leading the country..there is nothing to lead here if you keep killing innocent ppl.. We will never acheive anything as long we have those stupid warlords running the country...here is my list for those who need to be executed or prisoned for life... 1)Morgan 2)Caydid 3)Adan gabyow 4)A/qaasim 5)Shaati gadud this is all i can remember now but i am sure there are plenty of them out there just as bad...so nomads complete the list......

Aplus, sxb cant we have our own race and recognition? I mean, there is Hispanic right? and others too, so i guest it is time we claim the right to be what we are. PS: I haven't said I'm white nor arab, but i said I am a mono-typic race that doesn't belong to race A or race B Thank you

Dude(jamal-11) why are you keep claiming to be a white or arab, just take a look at our color is BLAAAAAAAACK with a capital letters.....so just accept who you are, there is nothing called being in the middle you either belong to white, hispanic or blk..and that is what we are "Black" period...

Guys There is a theory which was used to divide Africans into three ethnicities, but that itself is in doubt these days. Acording to the archeologists (some of them), the languages of cushitic groups can now be associated with languages like Hebrew of israel and the ancient egyptians or to some extent arabic. The truth is, I for one thinks that we have nothing to do with BANTUS and NILOTES who are being characterized by their negroid. There a transfussion of two bloods, either be it white and black or black or arab that has made Somalis what they are now. And I donnot agree with those who claim Somalis to be purely BLACK of negroid descent. we are a race of its own - monotypic

Do you believe Somalis in the future will be in the entertainment business. For example rappers,singers,sports, talk show hosts? We already have first generation who are growing up in western world. What do you think their choice of profession will be?
