And there you have people of SOL.. Aeryn is a FREAK. Will the real freak please stand up? :eek:

^^ And who or what is a sex model? :eek: Its true what they say, if you live long enough waxkasta waad arki *nods head* Maybe we should all quit while we are ahead for the sake of the faint hearted among us.

My dear, in cyber love, there is nothing called mutually exclusive

What is S&M Miss Aeryn? :confused: :confused:

^^ Maxaan kugu sameeyey? I thought we were eternal cyber lovers . Aeryn, I was referring to the pretty part ONLY.

There is nothing wrong with a slap here or there in the right place, infact, its a little kinky and pleasurable. Maybe thats why she wants it once a week - spanking is not every1's cup of tea

Good revival! Fave - Biology in HS Database Systems & Interactive Systems in university. Worst - Physics in HS Java programming in university.

I'm fine with the 'arranged' part, its the marriage thats a little unnerving. I'm open to suggestions from my parents and I'll always take their view into consideration, however, I decide on 'the ONE'. .. I think all this love crap is over-rated anyway

Ever since I joined cyberpace, I was interested in interacting and chatting in Somali sites. Chatting got a little boring and immature as the internet became popular, so I registered at Somalinet forums. I started to prefer forums/discussion boards to chatting but couldnt take the profanity in S'net and some1 mentioned this site in one of the topics. I registered but never really started posting until a year later 'cause the posters then seemed like a tight knitted group who for most part ignored new comers. After a bit of tongue lashing and threats, I felt right at home - loved n all . Since then I've sworn to quit numerous times but to no avail.

Will the constant whining never end? "I want this" and "I want that is all I see". For once why dont you all assess yourselves and see if you measure up.

^^ Actually, one of the reasons why I dont think the 'trousers r for men' debate doesnt hold water is that the trouser as we know today came generations after the prophet. At the time of the prophet, men wore "khamis" and the like. Trousers/pants were subsequently developed for men, specifically western men. Now, we have trousers specifically designed for women, therefore, to me they r women's clothing not men's. There are too many discrepancies as you mentioned SomeAlien to accurately distinguish between men and women's clothing, especially with regards to basic design. Therefore, its only logical to assume modesty as the primary factor to take into consideration when dressing.

Originally posted by Xoogsade: Seven of Nine You make a good point. I wonder though if it can work the opposite way as well and you become disappointed with a relationship instead of rekindling or working on it(if it was broken) by seeing more intellectual, decent funny guy online? People change their minds if they are not well-grounded. Being online has benefits as much as it has disadvantages I think. Just a thought. It all boils down to trust, doesnt it Xoogsade? I could meet the same intellectual and decent fella in real life. Besides, I find it hard to beleive you can actually fall in love with some1 online and want to be with them. No amount of intelligence will make me want to be with a minger and so on and so forth. Besides, most likely, in a forum like this, you could like some1's style or writing, mentality, etc. But would you be able to operate on the same frequency on other levels - morals, principles, character, looks, etc. Chances are its least likely to happen cyberly and if some1 is willing to cheat, they will do it by hook or by crook. Personally, over the years, I've had ma fair share of online crushes..they were mainly people who's out look to life I've liked and their intelligence. But fortunately it pretty much ends it. I've never desperately wanted to meet any of them or felt the need to meet them. Unless we had so many eerie similarities like Aeryn Sun

I cant blv ya all suggested anger management for moi. I said a bit of a temper, not ANGER! I'd never beat my kids silly, I'm more for the deprivation of enjoyment and the like. It works on my little sister who i forbid from watching tv whenever she acts up... I also dont feed her and put all her good clothes away..sometimes for days at a stretch. ^^ futile attempt at humour. Gaasira, if all else fails, maybe I'll try the friday method - seems effective enuf. Thanks for the tip!

The mental picture I can formulate is that of a silhouette walking briskly to the computer, dropping(writing) while standing a two liner comment that is Crude but Effective, No face, no full figure, Just a shadow, legs in pants, Vertically half-darkened half-lighted silhouette as if she meant not to be seen or hiding herself from someone. Btw, The Avatar She has has this cute smirk that says: "What is that all about??, Or I gotcha! you can't fool me". LOL@Xoogsade. Guess the half-darkened half lightened part might came from my serious yet light hearted way of putting things .. and I dont type standin up Wherever did u get that from? I imagine you to be athletic built and an enterprising young man. Are you into business? :confused: Aeryn Sun, I dont know who is rubbing off on who... but I've always pictured Gediid to be a pretty boy too..with a nice set of teeth and a flashing smile...just the type who are as pretty as girls and you find it difficult to take them seriously.

^^ Do you think that married people wanna spend every waking hour and minute together?... hardly! Socialising with other people is healthy for a couple, I think it makes them appreciate each other more - knowing your not married to some of the loosers you meet and the mentality of the pricks on forums might actually rekindle ur relationship and help you realize what a lucky bird you are. I'm sure reading the thoughts of the likes of *insert SOL men's nick* puts a smile on every married woman's face....not to mention a sigh of relief.

Excellent thread Gaasira! Looking back at how we were raised, I'm astonished and extremely impressed with my dad's approach to us. I cant recall a single incident where he threatened to beat us or deprive us of anything. His method was and is, still simple. My father believes in reasoning with us, even as little toddlers. He never imposes his view and is always willing to came to a compromise provided we can reason our way through. What I think is most effective about his approach is that it instills a great sense of confidence as we believe we have came to the conclusion on our own and there is no issue of forced opinion/way and alot of respect for him and everything he says carries a lot more weight. I know if my father ever opposed something, it would be for a very good reason. He has yet to this day never said a plain NO without explaining his reasons and for some reason, none of us dare to bring up a silly issue or something nonsensical with him - he will out reason us. He is not even your typical serious father as he jokes and talks to us like adults all the time. As much as I'd love to perpetuate my fathers parenting style..I've a bit of a temper like my mother and shouting or throwin something nearby will relieve me much faster than a long good talk. God bless him and Mum.

I think a certain level of understanding one another is vital in a relationship. 'Understanding' referring to similar background and education. I've seen for a fact though, when it comes to marriage, some people have a fixed mindset of who they want and wont allow for any flexibility - ranging from the fairly successful dude who prefers a wife with minimum education and least involvement in his 'work' life to the guy who expects just as much from his partner. I guess in these kinda things, its each to his own and education is just one factor is deciding who is right for you. Personally, I want some1 who motivated, independent, easy to conversate with and a certain level of education is a MUST.

I hope this does not mean the other sections will turn out to be strictly English-writing sections. I do enjoy the occassional somali words, sentences, etc and I like trying to practice my meagre somali and reading the somali of those well read Nomads that write comprehensible somali (atleast to me). I too think this is a brillaint idea. Infact, the new section is a gr8 tribute to the Somali language and all that is good about our traditions and cultures. This will be a gr8 opportunity to pick n select the somali topics we think are beneficial and filter out all the 'chit-chat' ones. I'm sure we all know Admin is doing this to keep everyone happy...and evidently, to please all ppl is an unattainable thing :rolleyes: . Although, I do fail to see how the introduction of this new section will improve the quality of the site. Those members who pride themselves in being able to make a mockery out of every topic will continue to do so in english - which will seem even more bland..... :cool:

Every Muna that I've ever came across has been a little to severely ...er... chubby

Unfortunatly this has yet to be the case. Corruption at the higher echelons has lined the pockets of individuals and contradicted the whole theory of equality for all. Like I said, as an idealogy, its almost the best economic solution. Although I do think it lacks incentive. Not alot of people would go out of their way to be innovative and be progressive without some kinda incentive. With regards to the practice of Socialism in the past, its pretty much like Islam - used and abused. These are pretty perfect systems when followed all the way through and disastrous vice versa. *mind you, im not putting Islam and Socialism on the same pedestal* Would you rather see an individual get rich through innovative imagination, or a general whose wealth comes from laundered money he funneled to off shore acounts, whilst preaching "Equality for all" .. I'm particularly suspicious of all exceptionally rich people. They must have laundered that money out of some poor workers who deserved better.

Same here. I read this thread everyday. I went to the recent topics page 1st and didnt see it in the list, thought NGONGE had forgotten to write 2day and was disappointed.. but I'm glad I checked just in case. Good JOB old man! Just a suggestion NGONGE - Could you put your stories into paragraphs? and write dialogues on a new line? I feel intimidated by long paragraphs and often loose the line im reading

You have to separate Socialism as an ideology from the practice. Comparing the two - Socialism and Capitalism a.k.a Democracy., I'd prefer Socialism as a solution to the growing economic disparity between the rich and poor. * prolly ‘cause I’m not rich at the moment and I hate the fact that Bill Gates himself alone can be considered the 57th richest country in the world * Socialism in a nutshell means that the means of production and distribution are owned by the workers rather than a minority who scoop all the profit. Socialism is genuine free enterprise. All I see in today’s world is the bridge between the poor and the rich widening. All the world’s resources are being utilized by 10% of the world population. Is this fair? NO. Do we have a better solution? Maybe, but I’ve yet to hear of it.

I lack drive, the ability to make things happen for me. Procastination is ma greatest enemy and I dont know how to get myself going - especially when it matters. I lack £££, and I just want it to be handed to me on a silver plate? is that 2 much 2 ask? ... guess so..

That is all that matters in my opinion Am I to assume that you're not Somali? It would explain why u seem like the stallion among the horses. XU... Same here girl, only I prefer it this way. Ignorance is indeed bliss.
