^Hmmm... Like the one u got me from India? Yeah sure. Anyway, Macasalaama folks!

^Ibts - ii soo ducee... flight dheer baa iga horeysa.

NG - I'm off to Bangkok... in 7hrs! I'm super excited walaahi. I'll probably fit right in, I do look kinda thai (atleast VAL thinks so).

North, In London, I dont really know the various Somali communities that exist or who runs them but I'm sure there is some level of hierarchy in these organizations. So approaching these communities and asking them to nominate someone to participate would be a good start. The event that Somalis are being asked to participate has to actually be significant enough marka hore laakin, which frontline isnt, and the Somali communities must recognize it as being important. Cynical Lady, Its really simple. If I were organizing a debate, I would approach participants who could represent different sides of the equation. Otherwise, I'm not really doing a good job, am I? So the onus is definitely on the organizer. Do you think the rest of the participants volunteer to spend an evening debating Somali issues because they want to? No - they are approached, their diaries accommodated and they are made to feel their opinion matters! Surely the organizers can do a bit more to get hold of Somali candidates if they wanted. Its usually their failing that Somalis are not in any of these events (unless they cant find someone and thats understandable too). Furthermore, if you CL, were to contact frontline today to participate in the next debate, I'm almost sure they would hesitate in letting you site next to Jon Snow who has this and that credit on the subject while you're just an ordinary citizen who doesn't fit into the star studded panel. Lets look at this from a different angle, there is a definite lack of Somalis that could be chosen. Somalis are registered in high numbers [80%+] as being 'inactive' [according to the Labour Force Survey]. This means that they are NEETs of all ages [not in education, employment or training]. Only 10-20% of Somalis are gainfully employed. Of the 20% remaining, many are students or young and have no connection to back home. This leaves us with a small margin for Somalis that can are available for these sorts of avenues. And I very much doubt that considering the number of other responsibilities they have to shoulder, they have the time to invest in every chitter-chatter passing off as debate in different corners of London. To conclude: 1. The Onus is on organisers to find the right Somali candidates. 2. Its understandable if there are no people to do the job on every front.

that made me laugh - the english bit because GOD KNOWS I DIDNT UNDERSTAND THE 'SOMALI?'. just like wanting to win a popularity contest here would be sad, it would equally pathetic to try to seek attention.. its not MY cup of shaah. p.s. @camal xuun. You're my pick.

^That drivel is what passes off as topics these days and you get your head bitten off for saying so (and to Ibts credit, she is actually better than that) Originally posted by Sayid*Somal: LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL @ exchange between Ibti & Serenity. Cyber girly fight Allow tiin roon reerka u reeb! Warya Adam Z don't go in between them Get your popcorn ready cuz I've another half hour 2 kill.

Aah, you're making my day more interesting! Ok, a bit of self-reflection would help with the accusation of continues nacnac. And like everyone else, I've the right to express my view on topics, if you happen to not like it - then tough luck dear! I'm commenting on a topic - neither after you nor interested if you like my views or not. Get that through p.s. I like the use of 'immaculate high standard'. Really, I do.

I lost 3kgs during Ramadan. I'm hoping to eat pad-thai non-stop from tommorrow (going away NG - sorry I didnt email to make you jealous!)

AT&T, where do u get these stories dude? Its like a never ending supply of Somali gossip!

waad igu af baratey Ibtiyeey .. LOL and you know diddly-squat about my interests, so stop with the assumptions. I'm glad you admitted this is one of the worst topics. Hopefully that will mean no v0.3

Is anyone else finding it hard to get out of the Ramadan routine? Its 1pm and I still havent had a bit - I honestly keep forgetting I can eat!

^you're ruining my rare visits with your useless topics Ibts. So commenting is well justified!

Originally posted by *Ibtisam: This is to avoid tactical voting and this tedious fighting, it would also allow for true speculation, rather than people polling together their votes to win together or accuse working together. LOL!!! So silly, its actually funny.

I'm super excited about Eid this year. Infact, I'm going Eid shopping tomorrow and feel fully justified in spending some dough!

Folks, the onus is on the organisers to approach the right Somali candidates to participate in these events. Otherwise, everyone can see that its just a bunch of non-Somalis debating Somali issues.

Hey CL! I attended a couple of events before by the frontline group. I found the non-Somali event informational but the events related to Somalis very lacking. I dont know why, but I think you always know more and better being Somali than the folks sitting on the news-desk. Not really worth the time if you ask me. Also, I was surprised there was just one other Somali person in the event I went to - mostly cadaan student types. And that 1 Somali managed to embarrass me as he kept talking shyte!

^So you're winning a pointless competition? And according to Ibts, I'm losing.. (so should be disappointed?) heh! carry on.. NG - it was probably a general statement as you're an all-round bore

I still don't get it - whether I'm in it or not, is there a point to this? What does the winner get?

I've no idea why I'm in the list Ibtisam 1. I dont know which 'other' thread is being referenced here, so I clearly didnt contribute. 2. I would not consider myself a 'regular' poster at all since I check here once in a while 3. There is nothing to be gained from being popular or lack of on this site.. All together, a waste of time really.

Riyaale is the best SL has at present. All these people fanning and fueling the opposition and their silly tactics are just closet clannists.

lol... Narcissistic Personality Disorder fo'sho.

I think what should be (and probably wil be) deleted is your offensive post Mr. Somalia. If I wasnt fasting, I would say a few flowery expletives to describe your manners right about now..

Buuxo - not a good subject for this time of year but there is a difference between gay and transgenders. Anyway, there was a lady in my old office who was transitioning (to a female) and she used the ladies. She would sometimes wait outside until I come out (or all the people), so as to not cause any discomfort and I genuinely used to feel bad.

Abraar, are you going to be brave enough to tell him khaniisnimo iyo Islam dont go hand in hand? Mise waxaad ka baqeysa in some sort of discrimination complaint lagugu dhirbaaxo?
