Wars probably mean a more tolerant society and more advanced one having seen the ugly side of it all. With alot of bloodshed comes nomarlity and understanding of the repercusions. It shows humans that fighting and killing each other wont solve anything other than reduce them and weaken them to such an extent that they become extinct. All one has to do is look around the world and see that some the nations that are peaceful and their history. However, there are also nations that havent come to the understanding that war doesnt benefit any of them. ------------------ There is no Sin Greater Than Ignorance R.Kipling ("`-''-/").___..--''"`-._ `6_ 6 ) `-.

YOu all approached the matter more maturely, let me just put it in Nomadic way, " ninkii shantaada kaa celin weyso shan sheeq makaa celiyaan".. so I am all passive walaahi when it comes to violence, I rather resolve matters peacefully than use war as means...but in some situations its inevitable... I was watching a film on the HBO last nite "The Gathering Storms".. its about Winston Churchill, and how he ended up becoming the prime minister of Britain. Hitler had been developing airplanes that were more advanced than the most secretly, yet some information was passed down to Winston, who in turn brough this matter to the parliament. Although the prime minister was in negotiations with Hitler, yet in Winston's opinions he asked Britian to declare war on Germany, otherwise Hitler was becoming more n more powerful each day. I am just using this movie to make my point. Sometimes to certain ppl, the answer is just violence. To them passivity is a sign of weakness! And the opponent is left no choice but to gather his arms. Barwaaqo: Its said, " Maroodi meeshii ku diriraan, coos aa u maqan"...ama " Munaafuq jartii loo wado muumin aas ku dhamaaday" So, innocent ppl will pay for the price of politicians. And that has been seen all around history and as well speak today. So sis, I guess, " Ninboo naftaa nabiyo umadaa"...That was my two cents! ------------------ Each one of us is a masterpiece in progress

Almost Every successful Nation had some sort of a Civil War and fought it at every possible point - To get where they'r Today. In regard to the ongoing Somalia's civil war (utterly disgusting) which has no purpose other then personal greed as you put it and merely a Punishment from God - is indeed more Socially Damaging then it is Politiclly. A War without Aim is just not any different then a Genocide. God Bless. ------------------ "He tried to be somebody by trying to be like everybody, which makes him a nobody."

Commonsense, it is not to be played in Wedding but it is for special people mostly those having an affair. It is a nice song

Tamina loool - Embarrasing moments attracts me like a magnet - pretty scary! This happened a few years ago while i was bringing extended family members ie; a middle aged lady and her two kids from DJ - They were all cool and calm up until we came to Paris to switch planes - So there i'm keeping an eye on them - Suddenly i notice one of the kids trying to get on a moving belt - yup, the one they place the luggages!! In a split second he's on it - the kid is going nuts crying his lungs out - the stupid agents struggling to stop the thing - The mother is screaming hesterically - I jump on the belt along with the luggages to gt the kid - We'r all Screaming!!! Everyone's screaming/looking at us, as if we were Monkeys playing around. Awwww! Don't remind me!! Got lotsa ickky ones too - Will tell in Private lol. God Bless. God Bless. ------------------ "He tried to be somebody by trying to be like everybody, which makes him a nobody."

How do you think can we solve the war we ourselves are in at the moment?

I can understand that some wars do need to be fought. Nevertheless, I can't help but get the feeling that wars are a man's game, fought mainly for political power and greed. And most of their casualties are innocents. In the first half of the twentieth Century, civilian casualties amounted to less than 50% of the total death toll, the figure has now increased to over 80%. Thats a lot of dead innocent people! I'm not really a pacifist, but I'm not bloodthirsty either. I think 80% is too high a figure, for us to go gallivanting off to war. I think maybe peace should be pursued more earnestly. Thats jus my op.

Secret Lovers - by Attantic starr ----------------------------------- Here we are, the two of us together Takin’ this crazy chance to be all alone We both know that we should not be together ‘Cause if we’re found out, it could mess up Both our happy homes I hate to think about us all meeting up together ‘Cause as soon as I look at you it will show on my face, yeah Then they’ll know that we’ve been loving each other We can’t let ‘em know, no, no, no We can’t leave a trace Secret lovers, yeah, that’s what we are We should not be together But we can’t let go, no, no ‘Cause we love each other so Ooh…ooh… Sittin’ at home, I do nothin’ all day But I think about you and hope that you’re okay Hopin’ you’ll call before anyone gets home I wait anxiously alone by the phone How could something so wrong be so right I wish we didn’t have to keep our love out of sight, yeah Living two lives just ain’t easy at all But we gotta hang on in there or fall Secret lovers, yeah, that’s what we are We should not be together But we can’t let go, no, no ‘Cause we love each other so Secret lovers, yeah, that’s what we are Tryin’ so hard to hide the way we feel ‘Cause we both belong to someone else But we can’t let go ‘Cause what we feel is, oh, so real So real, so real You and me, are we friends Is this cool or do we care Can they tell what’s in our minds Maybe they’ve had secret loves all of the time In the middle of making love we notice the time We both get nervous ‘cause it’s way after nine Even though we hate it, we know it’s time that we go We gotta be careful so that no one will know Secret lovers, yeah, that’s what we are Trying so hard to hide the way we feel ‘Cause we both belong to someone else But we can’t let go ‘Cause what we feel is, oh, so real So real, so real, so real, so real

Kamila, i know honey , thats why i posted this song. And i also know how Romantic it gets any room me and you will be in BARWAAQO, i am not embarrassed to admit that i listen to between the sheets every night from was 10 oclock to 121 oclock, i am not sure about the timing. Cheers Ladies

Between the sheets? Oh yeah baby! Gentle_Romeo....how romantic! And to think I used to be embarrased to admit I listened to HEART 106.2! I gotta say my song is Enrique's HERO...the lyrics jus make me rock! But 'Insatiable Love' and Celine Dion's 'I'm ur Lady' r somewhere up there too.

As usual, ya'll jumped to conclusions and got lost in the process. First and foremost, I'm a S.Lander and wish nothing but progress for the country. Secondly, PEACE is an EASY thing to maintain, only idiots fight in the first place. However, what makes one country better than another is the level of economic progress brought out in the shortest span of time. As far as I know, there is no change in the standard of living nor are there better roads, building etc from the time this fool took over.Somaliland is the same as it was 10yrs ago.I haven't a clue what private sector you're referring to and shipping goat isn't exactly profitable! Its a well known fact, he bribes every1 and thats the only reason he's been there this long. Hopefully some1 with a vision will take over and bring about some NOTICABLE changes but this IDIOT has got to GO!

Araweelo- Sis I was expecting abite from you somehow but you tatally humbled me and I love u for that I must admit ....well brotherly love ....know what I mean heheheh ... Anyway its wonderful to see pple who agree to disagree without really killing each other. In this case it avery happy ending for me too . ... ------------------ There is no Sin Greater Than Ignorance R.Kipling ("`-''-/").___..--''"`-._ `6_ 6 ) `-.

SOUL_LADY i must agree Education doesn't buy you a brain, thats true.

I love this one dearly as it holds some bitter-sweet memories for me. -------------- Whitney Houston from "The Bodyguard Soundtrack" written by: Dolly Parton If I should stay I would only be in your way. So I'll go but I know I'll think of you Every step of the way. And I will always love you. I will always love you. You my darling you, mmm ... Bittersweet memories, That is all I'm taking with me. So goodbye, please don't cry. We both know I'm not what you, you need. And I will always love you. I will always love you. Instrumental I hope life treats you kind And I hope you have All you've dreamed of. And I wish for you joy And happiness. But above all this, I wish you love. And I will always love you. I will always love you. (4x) I, I will always love you. You, darling I love you. I'll always, I'll always love you.

Excuse me while I side track - Not going to comment on the topic, rather pick on Haraky Haraky: I beg to differ - Not every Somali was a Camel herder/illeterate moron. Lets not mock our pple that way. They may not have had the Opportunity for an Education or Wealth ie; May not have seen all the glitters in the world - no this, no that but they sure were Blessed with Brains, perfectly Happy, Faithful, Pure and Greatful for the littles things. Not to forget how good meteorologists they were without a degree!! To Make it short - Education Doesn't buy you Brains. God Bless. ------------------ "He tried to be somebody by trying to be like everybody, which makes him a nobody."

Read this one with me, this songs are beautifully composed The Power Of Love By: Jennifer Rush or Jennifer Holiday i'm affraid The whispers in the morning Of lovers sleeping tight Are rolling by like thunder now As I look in your eyes I hold on to your body And feel each move you make Your voice is warm and tender A love that I could not forsake 'Cause I am your lady And you are my man Whenever you reach for me I'll do all that I can Lost is how I'm feeling lying in your arms When the world outside's too much to take That all ends when I'm with you Even though there may be times It seems I'm far away But never wonder where I am 'Cause I am always by your side 'Cause I am your lady And you are my man Whenever you reach for me I'll do all that I can We're heading for something Somewhere I've never been Sometimes I am frightened But I'm ready to learn 'Bout the power of love The sound of your heart beating Made it clear suddenly The feeling that I can't go on Is light years away 'Cause I am your lady And you are my man Whenever you reach for me I'm gonna do all that I can We're heading for something Somewhere I've never been Sometimes I am frightened But I'm ready to learn 'Bout the power of love We're heading for something Somewhere I've never been Sometimes I am frightened But I'm ready to learn Of the power of love The power of love The power of love Somewhere I've never been Sometimes I am frightened But I'm ready to learn 'Bout the power of love

One of the songs of lisa stansfield is this i guess "All woman". This song make me clutch to my bed sheets when i hear it from the radio or play from the "POWER and SOUL" Cds I truly love this songs, i suggest you listen to and they would make you feel good inside All Woman (L. Stansfield/I. Devaney/A. Morris) He's home again from another day She smiles at him as he walks through the door She wonders if it will be okay It's hard for her when he doesn't respond He says babe you look a mess You look dowdy in that dress It's just not like it used to be Then she says... Chorus: I may not be a lady But I'm all woman From monday to sunday I work harder than you know I'm no classy lady But I'm all woman And this woman needs a little love to make her strong You're not the only one She stands there and lets the tears flow Tears that she's been holding back so long She wonders where did all the loving go The love they used to share when they were strong She says yes I look a mess But I don't love any less I thought you always thought enough of me to always be impressed Chorus He holds her and hangs his head in shame He doesn't see her like he used to do He's too wrapped up in working for his pay He hasn't seen the pain he's put her through Attention that he paid Just vanished in the haze He remembers how it used to be When he used to say You'll always be a lady 'Cos you're all woman From monday to sunday I love you much more than you know You're a classy lady 'Cos you're all woman This woman needs a loving man to keep her warm You're the only one You're a classy lady 'Cos you're all woman So sweet the love that used to be So sweet the love that used to be We can be sweet again...

let me tell you this guys. before we analyse the problem let us explore a minute the life back home where we lived. life was normal no hassle no bussle, very few divorces use to occur , no man or no woman call the police to evict their partner, people were not spoilt by money and wealthy although we were happier than today.we were real nomads (women heralded goats and men heralded camels)(honestly speaking few of us had urban life and if we had the urban life we lived was not that different from the nomadic life). very few men chewed KAAT so what has changed then? we are no more heralding goats and camels!! so what are we doing then? Back home as we were nomads we did not know the life beyond nomadic way. we took days as they came, no plan , no priority!!!! and most important of all no education!!! we were illiterates ( mostly)!! and that is my dears the backbone of our problem here in the WEST!!! there is no point blaming the opposite gender!!!!absolutely no point. so then we came here in the west, men and women, children and adults, no certificates, few of us has ever came this far, no knowledge of the countries we are settling. but we have been given few information which were misguiding rather informing about the social life here like you can call the police if your husband nags you, there is somali cafe there and there, there is kaat comes weekly. So there we go. before even learning the language woman starts calling the police and the man starts chewing in merfesh this and that. not knowing the language, not even seeking education, not learning about the social life in the country!!! what comes then tell me? MISUNDERSTANDING AT HOME and then comes DIVORCE!!!! what follows it?? children grew without father!! Then looses the life cycle and starts smoking cannabis etc!!no desire for school and all his friends becomes the most notorious jamaican gangs!!!!!!!!! man continue chewing, woman sits home with her halimo or whatever you call it blabbering this and that not even recognizing the importance of education( The point women are educated than they were back home is is unprofounded and mere lie, where is the educated women? or men? So the problem my friends is EDUCATION!!! Let us take the BOOKS and study and learn who we are and who are these people we came to are only then we will have harmony and respect at home. My opinion is that we can survive as nomads in our own rural somalia, but the only way surviving here in the west is to educate ourselvwes and take this opportunity of free education before we go back to our troubled nomads. that is all i can think of.. i was not intending to offend any one but if u see my post offensive forgive me .. i am only human
