^Provide sources next time and be less cryptic(which minority?, who were uneducated?), and before i refute your post in full, please tell us your standards by which you measure a city's 'capacity' and 'capability'. Though i do not take pleasure in pointing out the flaws of 'Somaliland' or any other Somali region, you have left me no choice.

welcome.

From: Originally posted by -MARX-: fair enough Adam Zeylac! to a firm: Originally posted by -MARX-: fair enough! Good job!, you musn't look too friendly in front of the Hawks. I agree with your of idea of Mogadishu not being Somalia. That's one of the positive developments of the civil war, a rebuild Mogadishu in peacetime Somalia will have to contend with many flourishing and commercially competative Somali cities with 500k - million+ populations. That was America's path to success and today China's.

Originally posted by -MARX-: Adam your tendency of concentrating at the subject matter and not the content is all too obvious for all to see. If i was concentrating on the purpose of this topic i would be given 'reasons' instead of refuting nonsense statistics and delusional grandeur which is what he's basing his subject matter on. The man asked what is the prime reason for the destruction of somalia? Ah! thank you for acknowledging the fact i previously had not adressed the 'subject matter' You attack Somaliland burrpp and deny historical facts. so i was focusing on the content after all Again, let me put the question to you. what is the prime reason for the destruction of somalia?? One half destroyed Somali city doesn't equal the whole of Somalia, alot of progress has been made by the masses, so in my opinion the entire question is a fallacy, Somalia is going through a dark period, if you compare this period to the past and present conflicts on the continent/world, the Somali civil war pales in comparison.

100000 death? 2 million displaced? what a load of bullsh.t Secondly SNM never destroyed the army, are you crazy? dude it disintergrated from within, where do you think these warlords who toppled the government came from? delusional grandeur at it's best.

Happy belated birthday brother *BOB!

^Your probably right.

check inbox Sayid.

^I am reading a good book: The Heretic Queen, which does stimulate progress in one particular related story. The thing i find weird is how the most unrelated films/books can give you excellent ideas about new characters or plots, it makes you wonder wether you would have come up with them if you hadn't seen/read those books/films in the first place.

Great suggestions guys! Siren no suprise there, how many poor chaps lie burried in your frontyard? drawn by the scent of love, not knowning they are descending into the killerweb of the Black widow 'Mrs Siren'. ps let me look for you if i can find anything good.

Siren many succesful writers are simply great storytellers with excellent 'editors'. I think you should give it a try. ps read this story that i made up (based on a riddle), then tell me your opinion.

*Siren and C&H hug* *C&H is wrapped in a large Sambusa by Siren* *Siren devours the Sambuso with all it's Chocolote&Honey glory* *Siren strokes her beerbelly and...''burrpss''*

^Lol Warrior of Light great advice brother, thanks.

I ordered The Heretic Queen by Michelle Moran and began reading it today. I'm at page 70 and so far it's a cute and beautiful story about the life of Princess Nefertari, whose entire family(18th dynasty) died in a terrible palace inferno making her the sole survivor of the previous line of Kings and Queens in the new court of the 19th Dynasty Pharoahs. She has many enemies that do not want her to rise as Queen and wife of Rameses(childhood friend), but also several allies.

Anyone here suffering from writers overload? Where thirty different stories/books are racing through your mind and you don't know where to begin or continue? How did you deal with it? I analysed myself and there are certain buttons(music, films, books etc) that stimulate my re-entrance into a particular world that i have created. If my intention is to focus on one particular story, i avoid certain genres, music and books. This helped me a great deal!

Somali men are surrounded by many strange phenomenas, this calls for Mully & Scully. I personally after a pregnancy would take my wife to the gym or jogg with her 30 min a day, because let's not pretend that women are okay with those extra few pounds. It bothers them and it can be depressing. I as her husband would support her and encourage her so that she won't be plagued with self-doubt or negativity. If i had to sign a contract giving her the power to leave, if i allowed myself to go (with a beerbelly, bad teeth and bad hygiene) then i would consider that reasonable.

Beautiful sister.

Originally posted by *Ibtisam: Adam: I went to college with two Somali identical twins. I use to speak and chit-chat with one, at first I though it was just the same guy, and wonder when he had time to go home and change in the middle of the day. I also thought he had a split personality. (See him once and he is happy to see you and chats away for a bit, the next time, the guy is puzzled and kind of just smirking- I was like Somali guys are so strange!) Anyway one of them invited me to go ice skating after college one day, and we were all meeting outside school, when I saw the two of them standing there grinning at me I though I was having a double vision. Then I was shocked because I’d never seen Somali identical twins, grown guys at that. LOL, they had different personalities and nothing like, but the only way I could tell them apart when they tried to trick me for the next two years was one of them had a beauty spot on his neck. I would’ve offered to introduce you, but lost contact when I went off to university. If I was a twin, I would've been so much trouble, the things I could do and get away with!! aaah Lol@ Split personality funny story. I doubt being a twin is a free ride through life. Imagine being compared with eachother all the time through your achievements in life by your family. You will feel bad if your on a higher level than him/her or viceversa. From the age 4-18 I think me and him would be fighting non-stop about the smallest things, because that's what i did with my brothers only in this case there is no age-gap and neither one will back down( while my younger brother would run from my terror, I would run away from my older brothers.) Still there are alot of pluspoints too, like confusing Somali girls with your split personality and double wardrobe

Che, I was watching an old movie by Van Damme, Double Impact, it then hit me, i had never come across identical looking Somali brothers.

Has anyone ever seen two identical Somali brothers? I have seen female/male twins and female/female but never male/male.

This is after all the internet- I could be a balding four bellyed 56 year old toothless vagabond name Coco Chanel. ehem..ehem...as if.. :rolleyes: <--- Certified Stalker of the kind.

Poor brother, may he find peace!
