i believe i look like the typical somali no one has ever confused me with being Ethiopian though we do look alike. i don't know why but i can always recongize a somali..ALWAYS! no matter how light or dark, i guess its the connection we all have!

i scored 70% some of the questions made me laugh like do you eat every dish with banana and the olive oil for headache.

i also believe that SOL is great just the way it is. i agree with pple concern about the immaturity that we will surely experience with the "makeover". besides, we already have a chatroom! all due thanx NUUNE

"Yes, Egyptian were not arabs they were Pharos," when u say Pharos i hope you mean blacks. Because they were truly the first "egyptians" before all the intermingling began just one question, why the hell we care what the origins of arabs are?i could care less infact. And since when did this site became ARAB online????

^^ mind translating that?

Originally posted by Raganimo: The most common reasons a woman chooses abortion are: She is not ready to become a parent, She cannot afford a baby, She doesn't want to be a single parent, She is too young or too immature to have a child. If thats the case then why indulge in pre-marital sex in the first place? Now that all the pleasures and indulgences are over then she realises the gravity of the situation! The question am intending to ask here is, Should this woman be allowed to "choose" whether whats in her fetus lives or dies? Should she be given the choice? ------------> no the women should not have the choice of ending her babies life when s it was her who engaged in the act she well knew could result in pregnancy. i think abortion is a cowards choice the easy way out. you should face your mistakes not run from them.

Originally posted by macalimuu: Somalis, I call for ideas of how practically we could renounce and divorce ourselves from this primitive qabiil structure. Just, I would like to open a discussion about it. I have some ideas and thoughts of how but I would like to observe what others think of it. Just a personal reflection and soul searching is needed here. Let us all avoid to be biased and steer clear of prejudices. Let us all use our human rationale, gut feelings, common sense and the god given intellect. let us open the discussions here --- i think this is an impossible dream. having said that it would be nice to hear your ideas since i could not think of any.

wonderfully said ameenah! i couldn't agree more. this devastating disorder starts at home in the family. i think media is a big part of it aswell. culture is a factor to because everyone has a different perception of beauty and im glad ours appreciate the big boned

i personally think marriages that are a product of online dating or anything online is utterly retarded. what happend to just meeting pple in real life?

Originally posted by Simply_the_Best: Should we distinguish between mothers who have chosen to be pregnant and mothers who have fallen pregnant by accident? this is really the only question i could fully understand. great topic by the way just needs more clarification i think we should distinguish btw mothers who got pregnant by "accident" (funny it was an accident when they knew full well the and resualts of hving sex :rolleyes: ) its haram to do so. their is always sympathy for them but they got themselves in that situation.

Originally posted by raula: there is a proverb in swahili that says "Nyaani haoni MKUNDULE" ala soomalidu faraahooda dhaadheera . OG_gal U feel me cuz i am curious to know what this swahili proverb means in english. if that won't be much trouble of course --------------> thanx ZU for bringing this exciting topic back. five arab bashing topics aren't enough for us haters here :rolleyes:

brotha man there are other people on this forum that stick up for the arabs like they ARE arabs(u know who im talking about). i don't think NGONGE protrays this to such an extent. basically i think ur talking to the wrong person

^^ a miracle yes but a sign of the end of times? i doubt it. Earthquakes and tsaunamis have been happening since the beginning of time. i do now that this is a sign of Allahs anger at our behaviors.it is a warning.

^ HUH? :confused:

so you started a whole topic just to find out what a word in somali means? and what does ur title have to do wid it?

I hope they shape up and realize they are the only muslims countries capable of large donations.

Originally posted by Tuujiye: [iS true we shouldn't care about the problems of other when we are the worst of all..But one thing I love about being somali, We never kiss ASSS.. true that! Smithwestern i see ur point and ur disappointment. But really it will be their own demise. Why do u care so much? i know that might sound selfish but the arabs brought all this on themselves and its up to them to get out of it.

there is a great dependency not only somalis in soamlia but somalis in foreign countries. the latter being more worse. it makes us seem like a pple who cannot standup once given a hand. it is embarrasing, and unproductive. it also hinders our progress in those foerign countries if we are constently barred to welfare. But the dependency issue is more expected in Somalia, a place were a shilling would be helpful. It is good to give a financial hand to those less fortunate and not a lot of money would be needed due to the currency. But this will build up because they will undoubteldy ask for more. i believe the long term effects of this will be a pple who will are not motivated to get a job and make their own money. A pple who in a sense will become lazy and unworried about their future. a pple who will became handicapped by this dependecy which in turn will handicapp our nation. it would be nice if some of this money would be used for schools and hospitals and various other forms of infastructure.

i love your analogy Nur! work hard now on earht and party later in heaven

WOW :eek: :eek: that is an abosolutley amazing picture! Subhanallah!
