^Smart girl. :rolleyes:

Seven, Very risky indeed. That programme was on last night? Too bad. I would have forced heblaayo to watch it too. Its shocking how many teenage girls fall pregnant every year. Just from what my lil sister tells me, half of her friends are either pregnant, trying for a baby (TRYING! At 15 and 16, can you believe it?) or already have kids!

Jalaqsan I wish it was that simple. By not talking to them about sex in a culturally and religiously-sensitive way, you'll be ensuring that they buy into the images and views carried by their peers, television programmes, movies, teen mags, and other assorted media outlets thats its fun and easy to have sex with whoever you fancy, whenever you fancy at wherever u fancy. That your a sad freak unless ur doing what every little jessie is doing and more worryingly still, that the younger you start, the better. In today's environment, it is very difficult to avoid the subliminal messages being transmitted everywhere. So, unless you intend on locking your child away in a dark, airless box, it would probably be sensible to tackle the issue early on.

Sue, I think we have to work on building up ur confidence. You can't be let into the workforce with an attitude like that! Xoogsade, I am working on a degree In Nano Technology. Don't they use that on Star Trek? :confused:

Is the truth really out there? And if so, does it float around till someone catches it? According to the EUREKA effect, if a human discovers something in one part of the world, even if he never tells another soul, someone else will make the same discovery almost immediately in another part of the world (or something similar). Does that mean human brains are somewhat interconnected? Do we all have dormant telepathic abilities? Is this the reason why whenever I think about something seriously and I want to post my question, I find it's already been posted on SOL by another member (a telepathic thief, obviously)? Most importantly, just how long is eternity?

Ahem... One question: Am I expected to pay for him to take the course? Coz, if thats so, I can teach him at home myself. :rolleyes:

I suppose it depends on the definition of the sex education we are advocating here. The sex education they teach pupils in British schools is neither useful nor effective. If I recall correctly (been a while) sex education in high school basicaly amounted to our PSE teacher demonstrating how to put a condom on an awful plastic thingy. This is not something I want taught to my kids. However, I do agree a certain amount of education is necessary, preferably from a religious point of view. I am not too sure how relevant this would be to today's know-it-all, sophisticated teenagers tho. [EDIT]

^ good question....

Originally posted by JustCause: Moti, I have read the research you mentioned and I am surprised the nomads here misunderstood your intentions. I am afraid Moti is right, we need to train our women for their benefit and ours, since they r the cause of divorce as proved by this independent scientific research. Keep up the good work Moti and you will be rewarded by God. Thank you on behalf of sensible Somali men! What would the sensible Somali men do without you two? Lazie... I would join the fracas...but my husband might divorce me.

Yeah...sure they have my support. <--- goes off to make some banners. Hmmm...what should I write on the banner?

^^ FGM has been discussed to death on these boards. If i had the energy I would dig up some of the more interesting threads for ya...but I dont.

I wish I could make myself care.

Raami... Too weak to edit anything. Tasteless it will have to remain. Isn't the last hour b4 iftar always the worst? The clock just refuses to move! :mad:

Good luck then. Insha Allah khayr. <----- awfully glad she doesn't have to deal with exams anymore.

WELCOME.

Sorry Iskey, but I can't see how a grown woman would think that having her friend flirt over the phone with her man is a useful way of testing his fidelity. :rolleyes:

I cant say I am surprised. Those Islamic kangaroo courts seem to dish out death faster than Malakul mawd himself. Yikes!

If the woman admits that she slept with a man while being marriad to another man, she should be stoned. WhY because Allah said it...And if the man was marriad, he should be stoned to death too. but the man was not marriad and their for he gets caned 80 times.. Just wondering where it says the girl was married? LoL @ feminism....handy label aint it? NGONGE, Da Original Gorilla, eh? Chest-beating suits you.

Well, well, well! So, this is what the poetry section is all about? Juvenile back-stabbing? Heer sare. I should visit more often. J11, Hmmm...does the gentleman protest too much? You brought this thread back up at a most crucial time for absolutely no reason. Alas, you didn't even know Athena was 7 of 9, although her name is there in all its glory at the beginning of the thread! Sorry mate, but it doesn't compute. I think you should sort out whatever problem you have with Seven in a more direct manner. :rolleyes: NGONGE, What are you like! Devious rascal! Seven, Two thumbs up. I like how you handled yourself! :cool:

^ That's far too much work! Some of us don't like lifting a finger during those times. A cocktail of painkillers seems to work for me. Disclaimer: The above IS NOT recommended for those who care about their future health.

Ah! I get it now. The origin or validity of the story doesn't matter. Your essential objective is to strike fear into our hearts, eh? Well, why not? Scare-mongering seems to be an art in itself. Do carry on the noble mission, by all means.

Classique, Your absolutely right. Women do tend to spend all their time cooking during Ramadan. I happen to be one of those people who thinks only about food all month long during ramadan (tis the hunger).

I dont think I can help here...RnB is not my thing but I have always wanted to kno, aren't there any quality Somali songs to slow-dance to? Or is that not de rigueur?

^Amiin^. Ramadan Kariim to all.

I came across that story a few years ago. I didnt believe a word of it then or now. Its prolly one of the many myths that make the rounds on the net. :rolleyes:
