dont stop being her friend. she needs you now more than ever.

i think cloning can be useful for furthering research in the medical field, but cloning people is completly ridiculous. if you want a duplicate of yrself than have a baby, plus if yr that self-involved to begin with, maybe we should extract you from the gene pool altogether.

^^^ walahi im glad im close to my dad, cause i cant imagine looking at him the same if ever pulled something like that, and as for the person who said that they cant be proud of their culture, yr forgeting culture is our music, literature, folk stories. the things you mentioned are vices to our cultural growth and they are a part of tradition. tradition is the stuff that we do becaue other generations used to follow it, they usually make no sense and people do it cause they are to scared to question it. . if we are smart and stick together, the quicker those vices will be a part of our past. culture is beautiful, it grows, and changes, please dont forget that.

BOOO-urn!!! that was foul man, just wrong.

female circumscision for one.

i love my culture, its tradition i question.

Originally posted by rashida: my dad arranged a marraige for my big sister who just turned 18 and iam 15 years so my sister didn't like this idea so she disappeared and now my dad turned on me he said he promised this guy a girl ,and if he don't get him one he will be lair. to tell you the true, yesterday when he was asking me to he was crying really tears i never sees my dad cry even when my grandfather died. i hope you dont mind i tampered with yr original post but i really think you should talk to yr dad. and because i dont think hes thinking vey rationally in the situation you presented us (having one daughter run away, and than marry off the other one, not for her sake but because of a promise), maybe you should talk to yr mother or some uncles and aunts, but only the ones he is close to, so you dont alienate him. if yr dead set against this marriage, or even just frightened by it than talk to yr father. and if you feel like yr opinion isnt being heard than talk to yr other adult family members. the only time id say run away is if you were in any physical danger.

all this by a "look"? how long did this "look" last?

im minoring in theatre, my brothers in cinema though. film studies, not video prod. so what do you plan on doing? like would you direct music videos, i hear a lot of young directors go through that path to make a name for themselves as well as to gain experience.

awwww. this is a cute story. well, i think right now is the time to exude some patience. this is the type of thing best not rushed into so be happy that she took it seriously enough to think about it, than if she accepts yr proposal you know that she is ready. if she doesnt though, (its a possibility) remember to give Xalimo a call.

nafta my sisters into psychology. shes getting her masters now. were all real proud of her. well im studying fine arts in university, my parents dont like it.

uummmm, the word "cheating" is not a western consempt. when a spouse commits adultery it is natural for the "honest" one to feel betrayed and therefore cheated. why wouldnt someone describe adultery as cheating?

yeah, im retracting my comments that were pro-abortion (im kinda sick writing the phrase), however im leaving this part in, just for discussion purposes. id like to add, my reasons were for cases of rape and incest, however reading articles of the sudan crisis of women having children as a result of their attacks... it strange bt it inspired me. i really admired their resilience and patience at the face of such ugliness. like they were sitting, waiting for their reward. masha allah. of course it is wrong to take a life, but when does life begin? im looking at a book entitled "Natural Blood of Women" by Muhammed Bin Salih Al-Uyheimeen and he reserved a chapter for this topic alone. Intending the elimination of what is in the mothers womb. If this is planned following the breathing of the soul unto the body, it is undoubtedly unlawful because it is an act of killing a living soul. This is in accordance with the Book of Allah, Sunnah and Ijmaa'. Narrated by Abdullah(ibin Mas'ud) (RAA): Allah's Messenger (SAAW), the truthfuland truly inspired said, "Each one of you is collected in the womb of his mother for forty days (in the form of seed), and than turns into a clot for an equal period (for forty days) and turns into a piece of flesh for a similar period (forty days) and than Allah sends an angel (who blows the breath of life into him)..." The Hadeeth is related by Muslim and Al-Bukhari (V.8, P.387, Hadeeth #593. the statement "who blows the breath of life into him" is related by Muslim If the abortion is done prior to the breathing of the soul, than some of the scholars permitted it and others did not. Some other scholars said it permissible as long as it is not an ALQA (clot of blood) i.e as long as th pregnancy is less than forty days. Still others said that it is permissible as long as the load did not develop human like features. <-------- all that is in the book. about the minesota situation, i dont know what to say other than look out for yr brothers and sisters people.

^^^^^ummmm, hes cheating on you, hes obviously getting some on the side. and qa'qa, you scare me. that is all.

dont waste water either. very important considering its the earths most valuable rresource and we watch it go down the drain carelessly. dont buy bottled water either, buy a container and fil it up with yr own water cause these corporations are some sneaky greedy *******s. im pretty sure within our own lifetmes we will see wars for water instead of oil.
