Lo0oL! Don't let Fathia's comments offend you. Brad Pitt has nothing on you. Faarax is the man. Go on...flex those muscles! Show a sista what she's missing out on...

Ah..Katrina, you are right as always. Yoonis is definitely going for the Plonker of the Year Award. Good luck to him. He'll definitely get my vote.

^ OMG! We posted at the same time as well! Thats just too freaky.

^ Oh look...we posted at the same time. Isnt that freaky? What jinx did you break? If it's not too personal of course.

^ Course, you have. Congrats. 2005 was double xaax for me. No new house (like I can afford it), no ball and chain (like I want to torture myself), a couple of personal achievements, um..what else? Oh yeah...LIVE8! That was a blast and a half. So was seeing Saturday Night Fever at the Victoria Apollo..yowzer! Saw more movies in the cinema than the last 5 years put together. Chronicles of Narnia and In her Shoes being my best of the year. Key moment: Chopping my hair off. Golly...I really do lead a shallow life. <-- Looking forward to 2006 and what it may bring! Insha'Allah kheyr. :cool:

*Holds her nose* Oh dear, that's a killer wiff. Girls and education...blah blah blah. Frankly no one cares what any geel-jire thinks. Our mums were educated, we are educated and our daughters will be educated. :rolleyes: *Waves @ STOIC: Hi!*

^^ Bloody hell...couldn't you come up with a better choice of nickname than Hitler? Originally posted by Yoonis_Cadue : But nevertheless I will contribute in a positive way. Castro is a bad choice for me because I see him as someone who is actively engaged in corrupting the hearts of the young in here with his twisted liberal ideology. He's an agent and frankly speaking this place would be better off without his corruption. Contribute in a positive way, eh? Is that even possible? I would vote for Castro simply because he puts people like you in their place; a dark, empty, airless foosto. :cool:

Yeah, there's a real problem with both sex and religious discrimination. I experienced it myself. If ur forename/surname is distinctly Muslim, you'll have a major problem even getting an interview for a job that you're probably over-qualified for. It's the same problem even if you apply to organisations/local authorities with large BME employees. Purely for example, if you were to apply to Tower Hamlets council...your chances of getting the job will be very high if you're Bengali. :rolleyes: Job-hunting is a filthy business.

Fartun, congrats...I am really happy for you. I hope your happiness and marriage both last a lifetime, Insha'Allah. LoL @ FF! Did you not tell me you were the lip-locking champion of your senior year in high school? Oopsie daisy... Layzie...that's called an 'audience-kiss'. You can't exactly snog your hubby/wifey/someone with your mumsy and granny looking on. That would be in very bad taste. But fear not, from what I hear, the really fun stuff is saved for behind closed doors (just as it should, mind).

^ You revolt me. :rolleyes: Originally posted by McPharax : Ahura;You have been preaching these faraxs for the past N yrs.Perhaps you should make a generic responce and save it in the sol archives,and pull it out whenever its needed. Originally posted by Xoogsade : You are habitually harsh Abaayo. Aw...have I been too harsh on the faaraxs? You must excuse me. I'll try to be nicer next time.

LoL..Thats a bit harsh. Now see, this is exactly what I mean't. I had no intention of bashing Somali men or advocating for marrying outside your race for that matter, but Xoogsade's snotty and insidious posts among others drove me down that path. Yeah, you heard...I'm not responsible. This is an awful thread, but it would be worse if it deteriorated further into another gender-bashing-fest. On that note, I bid you all a lovely day. :cool:

Cantar baqash weyaan waxaagu. Good looks and a sweet demeanor, isn't that what every man is looking for? Even the faaraxs? Mise it takes on a different meaning when the sentiment is stated by a non-Somali guy? Come off it, X. I processed your implication exactly as it was implied in both posts (one just strengthened the other). I don't think am reading anything extra into it, so blah to you. Plus, what do you mean by 'I knew it'? I was under the impression that you know very little. I have a lot of good things to say about Somali guys. The problem I have is with their attitude and outlook on life. It plain stinks.

Hi Sigma, Those are all current affairs programmes. I don't follow current affairs anymore. I stopped watching the news as well. No news is good news and all that jazz. I would love to watch this series of Dragons Den, but am usually not home in time to catch it Fay, LoL...I need to see dhakhtarkaa as well. I'm inclined to believe that watching TV is the best therapy for any ailment.

I read it already. 'More interesting' is a bit off the mark, don't you think? Non-Somali men are salacious and Somali women are busy spreading it around for them. In the meantime, the non-lascivious Somali man is busy making a warm home for the Somali woman he is going to marry (because he is not one of the very few somali men who may be a slag but who will ultimately only Marry Somali. Apparently). I hear you loud and clear. Can't say much to that. It is the truth, like you say.

LoL... *Ranting Mode On* We really are a xenophobic society. I especially like how prejudice, outright racism and bigotry is covered up with declarations of saving the Somali gene and protecting our 'culture' and future children. A war-torn country, a rotten to the core society, broken families and dysfunctional youth... Yes, I can see why we would want to preserve them all. And now that is out of the way, what is Xoogsade like? A non-Somali man can not like/want a Somali woman for anything more than speedy sexual gratification? Really? And what do the Somali men want them for then, if not the same thing? The ability to decorate the house in gaudy, imported fabrics and settees or her infinitely unique talent for cooking iskudhexkaris? That's a mindset and a half I must say. In my capacity as a postgraduate of the University of the Bleeding Obvious, I would love to point out that who someone marries is a personal choice (It really is. People don't just say it for the sake of it. There is something to it. Just thought I should reiterate ). Moving on, couples marry for all types of reasons as well (yes, even for love! I joke not). That's not to say that those who marry purely for the sex have less valid marriages (this is just for you Xoogsade). I would think that would probably be a very fun -if short-lived- union. Now I bet you're scratching your dandruff-ridden head and thinking 'so where does their colour come into it?'...right? The answer is it doesn't. You'll marry who you want to marry, who you choose to marry, who you're meant to marry and believe it or not, what colour they are will make no difference. Then again, as a Somali woman, I can see why it would make sense to marry one of your own kind. You could look forward to bringing your Somali kids up all by urself - even when u have a husband and they have a dad. That's the Somali way. You can also look forward to sharing him with a number of equally 'beautiful-featured' wives - it is his right. Finally, once you hit 40, you can even look forward to a life of loneliness because he went off with a woman younger than your daughter and you will have a better chance of being mowed down by a bus than finding another Somali man to take you on. The pros outweigh the cons, as you can see. :rolleyes: *Ranting Mode Off* Glad that's off my chest. A side note: More guys date/marry outside their race than girls in general. And it's not confined to Somalis alone. PS: I was going to note down a disclaimer in case the Protectors of Somali Women and Culture think I'm mocking them unduly. Then it occurred to me that I am. Oh well.

Hi Fay, Dragons' Den is a good show. I was addicted to the first series as well, but I haven't had a chance to catch the new one. They are usually spot on, but I do think they are sometimes unnecessarily cruel. Do you reckon we watch too much TV?

^ I know, love. One step at a time.

<-- Clinically depressed. Not a joke.

LoL @ Rowda. Motel 6, eh? Did he think it was his birthday, rather than yours? These faaraxs! *Shakes head* Kat, You haven't come across a brother who can cook? Surely not! From what I have seen, they make better cooks than many girls these days. I personally know some who could give the naked chef a run for his money. Really! But that may be because as a girl who point-blank refuses to cook, I need to know culinarily-blessed people for my own survival.

Lo0oL! What a character. And what a painfully sad up-bringing. I thought his routines, although hilarious, were too foul and misogynistic. But having now read some of his history, it makes more sense. Rest in peace, Mr Pryor.

LoL. No, dear. I'm not a min-yaro candidate and it wasn't specifically to you. Any XY can answer, but since you're already here, you might as well bite the bullet first. Noh?

^ There we go. Now that we've got that out of the way, settle down and tell me what you find really romantic. I don't want to know about sexual activities or anything else you deem private (and which I would deem totally gross). Just everyday things that wouldn't necessarily be romantic, but end up so all the same because of something your partner did. Perhaps a slight effort, a forethought, an afterthought...etc, on her part. Do you understand what am asking for?

^ Too much information, dear. And must you be so graphic? Bisinka! :eek: I did think that you may have been joking, but you can never be sure these days, not with the sort of attitudes some of the blokes in here display. Maybe you could mark your jokes with a big 'JK' at the end of each post in the future? That would be really helpful.

^ Clearly. So, the sort of activities that would constitute a romantic evening are private in your view? Well that is very telling. Dare I assume then that what you listed over there may not actually be what you would find romantic? Heh. Ma anaan garan. Thanks for the offer, but I don't need any pointers. It's not exactly rocket science. Castro's 'Chicken wings and a naked woman' song seems to be the tune to dance to.

The topic calls for what you would consider ROMANTIC... Mid walba wuxuu lasoo booday 'not nagging' or 'cooking' or worse a 'cute behind'. Maxaa idunku wada khaldan? Those are qualities you want in a person, not romantic activities. Duh! For God's sake, must everything be written out in large letters for you people? If you find being cooked for romantic, why don't you expand on it a bit more. Tell us what sort of dish, what sort of ambience, what sort of perparations would make an evening meal a romantic one for you (as opposed to the usual one where you wolf it down before folding up in front of the telly like a balloon which has just had all the air let out). Jomaana, I fail to see why you would be interested in what they would consider romantic. Maxaad such simple creatures ka sugaysaa?
