Ilaahay ha u naxariisto oo jannadiisa fardowsa ka waraabiyo. Ameen.

Masha'Allah, they look like a good bunch of people. Somalis face discrimination in every country so this report is not much of a surprise, now is it? Thankfully the kiwis are discriminated solely on islam/physical attributes and not for financial reasons like welfare here in Canada and the UK

I would definately choose to live in New Zealand. I consider it to be the most beautiful country in the world

-Born in Mogadishu -Left at age 4 -I have been living in Canada ever since

I wonder why they decided to call that street 'Somalia Drive'

I couldn't help but stare at that chubby little kid on the right side. What a spittin' image of my cousin :eek: Anyways wacdaraha_aduunka, thanks for sharing those pictures.

Lool. No in America it's a thousand million. Here's an article on the history of the word "billion" : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billion "Billion" is no longer referred to as a million, million even in England.

A billionaire in the UK is someone who has 1,000,000,000,000 (one million, million). Therefore you can have one hundred million pounds, go to america and you will be a billionaire all of a sudden. When you come back to the UK you a worthless multi-millionaire :rolleyes: Dumb americans could'nt count anymore! You're the one who needs to learn how to count :confused: A billion = a thousand million And one million, million = a trillion Bill Gates, who is the richest man on earth is only worth about 50 thousand million, in other words, 50 billion. There isn't a person on Earth who could possibly be worth a million, million or a "trillion"

Subxaana Allah. :eek: I thought this whole saga was over by now.

I've finally signed it, although I do admitt I only used my first name.

Believe it or not, he's actually shorter than Shaquille O'Neal.

For some reason i've been very stressed out lately with work, school, and family etc. Anyways, this song always perks me right up and keeps me focused. It's called Breakaway by Kelly Clarkson. - Grew up in a small town And when the rain would fall down I'd just stare out my window Dreamin' of what could be And if I'd end up happy I would pray Trying hard to reach out But when I tried to speak out Felt like no one could hear me Wanting to belong here But something felt so wrong here So I prayed I could break away [chorus] I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly I'll do what it takes till I touch the sky And I'll make a wish, take a chance, make a change And break away Out of the darkness and into the sun But I won't forget all the ones that I love I'll take a risk, take a chance, make a change And break away Wanna feel the warm breeze Sleep under a palm tree Feel the rush of the ocean Get on board a fast train Travel on a jetplane, far away And break away [chorus] I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly I'll do what it takes till I touch the sky And I'll make a wish, take a chance, make a change And break away Out of the darkness and into the sun I won't forget all the ones that I love I gotta take a risk, take a chance, make a change And break away Buildings with a hundred floors Swinging round revolving doors Maybe I don't know where they'll take me But, gotta keep moving on, moving on Fly away, break away [chorus 2] I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly Though it's not easy to tell you goodbye, gotta Take a risk, take a chance, make a change And break away Out of the darkness and into the sun But I won't forget the place I come from I gotta take a risk, take a chance, make a change And break away Break away Break away

The website looks terrible. You can hardly see and of the advertisements because there are so many of them! That being said, i'm glad those colours haven't ruined my vision. Congratulations to him for pulling it off.

In the morning I usually spritz on some Celine Dion but during the night I prefer to wear burberry Brit Red.
