Most suspicious and questionable of all in this thread tho, is Naden's taste in men :eek: :eek:

^Did you just change gears quickly X? Come on.. stand by your argument Mr-Can-Have-Any-Woman-Without-Raising-A-Finger

Bootada iska dhaafa. Some1 do something.

It is 20 years since Newsweek ran its seminal cover article stating that a single, white, college-educated woman of 40 was more likely to be killed by a terrorist than to marry, giving rise to many terminally single protagonists such as Bridget Jones and Ally McBeal |Ouch| On a brighter note of course, there are alot more terrorist attacks than there were 20yrs ago (if the stats still hold true).

^ You've officially hit rock bottom.

Resting. Fighting the urge to do anything (internet, phone, tv, walking around the house, etc) in excess.

I'm just curious, which one of Gm's 39 posts did the trick? I can usually remember the post where I fall on or off some1's admiration bangwagon. I guess I should illustrate with an example. I fell on Xoogsade's bandwagon here and fell off it there (and has been spiralling downwards since)

^ They are silly little boys with af-dheer. :rolleyes:

2 Votes! Waw! I know where I got one vote from, but the other one is a complete surprise!

Reality is a b####, ain't it! New graduate, stuck with a debt and being sheld crumbs at work for wages, in hopes of a raise one day. LoL… assuming is a poor habit Khayr. Grow out of it.

The only problem is sister, there is no heat. Just a wishy-washy snippy comment. If you read my one line remark, and I quote ‘There arent that many deserving or qualified Somali men out there’. The implication here is that there are some. And here is you repeating it‘there r definitly some good somali men out there’. Do you see why there is no need for you sneering 'dont despair' reply?

SB and Besbaaso, ma idinkaan idinla hadley? Maya! :mad:

^ Tell them Didi. These guys are telling the girl to join the millions of drones who catch 2 buses and the tube to be at their cubicle by 9am to help a rich man get richer.

Waterlily, dee waa sidee dadkiinu All I'm telling the girl is that there are other routes to being successful and independent if you dont dig school. School is good. No doubt. p.s. I was born articulate and a skilled persuader.

SB, First of, I've had to pay a visit to the dictionary icon at the bottom to learn what a 'proctologist' does and eeew is all I've to say. I think you're confusing learning (which is the only way to get somewhere in life) with piling on accredited qualifications to prove you've learned. The latter begs of self insufficiency. Thats ma point. Vibe, the only reason these guys are encouraging you to trod thru school is because they dont blv you can make it otherwise. Really, how condescending are SOL folk?

Originally posted by underdog: If the yearly cost of education is 14730 (pounds per year) source These figures are for international students. It 1/14th that amount if you live here. That pretty much blows ur caveman calculations outta window. >>>>> shooo! Institutionalized Education is good and it will most likely get you somewhere in life. However, its not the only route. Infact, most rich people havent bothered learning skills to work for people, they learned how money works and how to manage people. p.s.good Xiin, you've to stop encouraging girls to aspire to be housewives (because you like the idea ). Most guys either dont like it or cant shoulder the responsibility.

Val, no lies or even tongue-in-cheek comments from me. I didn tell the girl to quit school and become a bum (if it was a choice, I would - beach bum to be specific. What bliss. What a life! ). I just told her that a degree is not the only option in life to get ahead if thats your aim. Infact,I encouraged her not to give up on the only thing that matters - learning (which you can easily, thanks to these corporate-slave-mentality assembly lines we call universities) So bugger off now, will ya? You're starting to sound like my father. He told me to apply to pastgrad now, before I loose my zest for studying. Ha! I told him to stop burdening me with his 'work for somebody and gain more skills that you dont even like' mentality.

This is the difference between you and I Val, you’ve the ‘need to prove yourself mentality’. I, on the other hand, don’t feel like I need to prove anything to anyone. Qofna razq’gaaga gacanta kuuguma hayo but yourself and the sooner we realize that, the better our chances of gaining self sufficiency (and real financial security..aaaah!). p.s. What my degree has got me is a mentality that I need to work for some1 else to make a living!

^Will you please zip it? There is nothing wrong with being a housewife or wanting to be one. Infact, I think it’s the better choice to aspire for than sitting in a stuffy office and getting diabetes from the sedentary lifestyle office peeps lead. Education (especially university education) isn’t really all its cracked up to be because it neither guarantees the job you want :mad: or gives you the real tools you need in the workforce. The only thing university seems to guarantee (and take it from a recent graduate) is that you’ll forever be stuck in the rat-race of trying to find work, working for money and still ending up in debt. What’s the alternative I’m proposing here? Kick institutionalized education to the curb! They don’t teach you jack in the classrooms anyway (Imagine my shock at finding out I’m under skilled for most jobs in my field!). Find what you really enjoy, self-learn and do your own thing! It maybe the road less traveled (Robert Frost) but in the long run, it’s the only road worth taking. A close friend of mine constantly tells me that there is only one risk in life – and that’s not to take one. So if you feel like university isn’t for you, don’t bother with it. But do not resort to being a housewife because there seems to be no other option, there always is.

Originally posted by Endeavour: Amelia-There is so much I want and I guarantee you being stay home mum 24/7 isn’t my ideal future life. I strongly like the idea of balance. I would like to work and yet at the same time I would like to be a mother, be there for my children soforth. There is your answer then. Accommodating your partner’s needs/requests is one thing, changing your own view of how you want to live is a huge sacrifice to make for any1. Thats ma personal opinion. Question? Are you saying staying home building a family isn’t contributing to the community? How is that different from having a job? I thought it was the mothers job to raise a harmonious family. Isn’t having a strong family with manners and akhlaaq not contributing to society? Perhaps in the future it will be those children that will change the world. You're right, raising healthy minded children in body and spirit is a great service to the community, but why limit yourself to that or even assume it be your sole responsibly? Aren’t children a parent’s joint efforts? To assume that you’ll always be the only influence/teaching force in your children’s life is also naïve and limiting. Kids grow up and become less and less dependent on their parents, what then? Having kids is a great thing and it comes at a great cost. I would like to have kids too… but there is so much I would like to do besides have kids and raise them. I don’t blv having kids should change one’s focus from themselves entirely to that of their children’s like our parents did in the past, vicariously living the rest of their own personal goals, hopes and dreams through their kids. You as Endevour have one life to live, it isn’t a rehearsal.. so live it the best that you possibly can.

So thats where all the fit guys are going - Stockholm Congrats MD. I'A a wonderful marriage is ahead of you.

She speaks on her mobile while admiring her shoes or feet or another part of her body and then screams when she is almost hit by a bus. (I remember now, Amelia ). Vanity is a killer. LOL. Get outta here! I might be slightly dreamy, clumsy and absent-minded but I can definitely multi-task when I put my mind to it

^Last summer.. when we were regulars at Edgeware Road. Infact, I recall three separate occassions on edgeware road where I was nearly hit last year. Thats why I havent been there since.
