this "trick" may backfire. i think you should confront the girl, make her tell him the truth.

you know i dont believe in sex before marriage but i also dont believe my virtue lies in whats between my legs, or my "virginity"is a gift. theres no such thing as "virginity" yr either a virgin or yr not. double standards like the one you used anger me. you said :"As all rational minded somalis know, once a girl has been around the block, no man, respected or otherwise, will want her. Not even the one she trusted and gave her virginity to." now this may be true but it doesnt make it right, and its certainly not "rational", and i cant understand why any woman would just accept this type of attitude towards other women. what other people do or believe in is really no concern of anyone, i understand you particularly getting defensive when this particular guy brought up the subject cause its not for you, and neither is it for me, but putting them down, judging them and comparing them to the lowest common denominator isnt right either. live and let live and stand firm in yr own beliefs. i thought the cool thing about being muslim is that we dont go around shaming and "converting" people who dont ask to be.

ummmmmmm, were somalis, not arabs.

so basically every major corporation is owned by jews who are pro-isreali. why not just boycott anything with a known logo... seriously thats what i do. i dont make my money to make others rich.

you can be raised a musim and hold the ideolgies that religion entails (values and traditons) and not be religious. besides i dont think hes claiming it, he didnt convert and it doesnt sound like a gimmick (like q-tip, and other "conscious" rappers) he was accually raised muslim. even if he werent following certain teachings of the quran, bt still ackowledged that there was only one God, and his name is Allah, id consider him a muslim... just not a very good one.

his first two albums are his best, hes one of the few musicians id LOVE to meet, hes up there with mos def.

summer just isnt complete wthout some festivals, so wht kind do you have in yr city? and are they as great as they are avertised to be? montreal, we got the jazz fest, the hot acts that i wish i had tickets for are bobby mcferran and ben harper, and i say wissh cause the tickets are hella expensive and ordered in like december. but there are always some free shows to catch.

og moti, yr a funny guy, bt sometimes i have a hard time understanding you. i just thought i should tell you cause someday im sure therell be a misunderstnding of some sorts. yeah. anyways. my problem is that blacks are quicker to identify with eurocentric cultures than african ones and thats a problem because africa as a continent cant get better until we are proud enough to acknowledge our wrongs and mistakes as such and improve them. waiving a finger or giving yr pity donations does nothing. we have to be ACTVE in the building of our nations, and of our cultures. and culture does not include everything in our history, cause some traditons need to be left in the past... yeah im ranting.

damn. im accually a lil thick... a lil under 300 pds and i got a nose like KRS-ONE, but i do have a long neck... you just cant see it under my double chin.

i feel you, i should prolly get a blog or sumthin. ill most likely change my subject.

Anybody here fall into this category? what i mean is do you stay out of the sun out of the fear of not getting dark, or dont like peopl who are dark skinned. i think its disgusting to see or hear black people say such things. i was downtown yesterday and my friend was like "i gotta stay outta the sun before i start lookin like a congolese" im like " wtf is wrong with peeps from the congo, you need to see some africans when theyre not starving or angry from a war, cause africans are BEAUTIFUL." really, whats wrong with us, weve been conditioned down to our marrows. also i noticed that most black people in interracial relationshps are african, and by interracial relationship i mean married folks, not just "flings" or passing infatuations. its pretty disgusting when you think about it cause to whites see us as just a fantasy... a fetish if you will. its taboo and exotic to date smeone "black"... that kinda bs is condescending on so many levels. somalis are guiltyof this too, of beig color struck that is, and for a while i thought it was only us. i was even more disappointed to hear other blacks think this about africans or blacks with strong african features. its disappointing. its like theres no hope for us.

pride killings?in which category would they be considered? its not considered a part of islam, but it certainly is apart of islamic culture, which is really ancient arabic culture, right?

this needs to be archived. why are the guys all shocked? i can understand the women being shocked, cause im assuming a very small minority have one, but you know guys got some XXX rated shit under YOUR beds...

Okay, i dindnt write this, but i sure wish i did. anyways read it, and comment on it. So what disease do you know that they have stopped dead in its tracks? Let's see... Cancer? No. AIDS? No. The common cold? No. Let's just say Aqua told you so and let's add it to the Aqua Files... you see... SARS was created to destroy the tourism and ultimately the power of countries who were clearly outspoken towards George W., Canada and China in particular. They were completely outspoken, and completely on point. Next up for man made diseases being used as political chess: Monkeypox. As if at some point even in the most farfetched situation... monkeys have come across or possibly mated with midwestern animals? Right. So let's see... so far we have... Faking the win for the presidency of the US... stealing the election. Disrespected the families of both international sailors and airplane pilots. Caught spying. California Energy Crisis. Enron. then blowing up two buildings and destroying one and blaming it on US trained operatives who are now referred to as terrorists. Anthrax. Terror alerts all over. The Sniper. War with Afghanistan. Sending the UN on a wildgoose chase for WMD that don't exist. Disrespecting the UN and basically telling them they are no longer relevant to the world stage. War with Iraq. Close calls with N.Korea, Syria, Iran and other 'axis of evil' hotspots. Creating and overexposing a so called 'new disease' called SARS. Now creating and overexposing a so called 'new disease' called Monkey Pox. Meanwhile common civil liberties are dwindling. Affirmative Action is being challenged. Roe Vs. Wade is being challenged. Education has gone down. Unemployment is up more than it has been in 11 years. One of the space shuttles explodes. Hate crimes are on the rise. Israel and Palestine have gotten worst. Militant Jews have gotten away with Murder. Militant Muslims are growing because of not having a voice to be heard. NYC Police are off the chain, trying to increase drug laws... something that really went under affect with George W. Bush Sr. POLICE in general are off the ******* meat rack. Oh and one last thing... add this to the Aqua Files too... the AMerican military is considering raiding Palestine... claiming to wipe away Hamas. Now while all this is going on... Africans are dying by the millions daily, whether as political pawns (Zimbabwe), starving, being murdered (Sierre Leone), or dying of AIDS by the millions. None of this of course ever sees the light of day. Riots are taking place as we speak in Michigan. Michigan... aint that something? Can u think of other George W. fun?
