Playmaker I must say u have some valid points.Let us start with Oakland raider's QB.Kerry Collins likes throwing the deep ball and with addition of Number 18 moss,Yap like u said he is gonna have a ball and will rock on all the way to Hawaii.Will that led to championship?I really don't think so.The raiders are worse than the vikings and trust me,the vikings will be champions before the raiders discover the sweet taste of victory.Moss will most likely struggle in Oakland,compared to his years in minnesota. As for the 8 defensive players on the line.I don't believ it will be aproblem for the vikings.They have the biggest offensive line(provided they are healthy) in the league.The vikings have also the deepest talent at the runining back position(Mo' williams,Onterro smith,michael Bennet, and Mewlde Moore)Nobody in the league can come close to that.And finally we have Culpepper,This guy is bigger than most linebackers and once he starts scrambling, the opposing team will be forced to choose btw spying on culpepper or stopping the run game.And ofcourse that leds to Nate burlson playing like a star.He is already proving to be athreat.As for Marcus Robinson,he too can take advantage of the one on one coverage.He is strong and tall,at 6"4 he can definately out manuever most cornerbacks and if necessary use his height to his advantage when it come to a hail mary jump ball. Culpepper will definately be an average QB,but he will try to pass and complete more short yardage than ever before.He will try to play safe and watch out for him to use his legs more often than is necessary.

I don't know anything about Hillary, but Jamie fox is my boi and its time he got that sh!t they call Oscar,not that i'm a big fan of the crap they called OSCAR.Gone are the days when blacks were portrayed like runaway slaves with stup!d supporting roles.

Playmaker I think you are alittle bit over reacting here.I don't believe we had primetime games, mainly because of Moss.And if we had it,i guess it had more to do with Randy's ****** antics than his talent.Plus the vikings are famous for playing entertaining football and ofcourse everybody wants to see our appetite for self destruction.The highly rated, high octane, explosive minnesota offense combined with a defense that is ranked at the bottom of the league is the stuff primetime tv networks dream of.Atleast they are guranteed of a high scoring,entertaining game. Now the difference btw Moss and Culpepper is Discipline.Culpepper is a patient guy that is willing to learn new tricks and it's clear now that the vikings are Culpepper's team.He now more assertive and is trying to show some leadership skills. Moss on the other hand has refused to grow up,and he has offended almost everyone.Personally i was sick of his stup!d behaviours and the fact that he didn't help us win any championship.I think culpepper will be fine without moss,for the simple reason that the vikings are now going back to the basics just like the New England Patriots. The vikings will now relay more on the run and their defensive skills than the pass like they used to be.I call it the "New England factor" and u will see more of it in the league next year Inshaalah. As for the moss trade.it ain't as bad as i thought.We are already 30million under the salary cap and add the 10 million we will save on the moss contract.I guess that is serious purchasing power if the owner (i know mr Reds is stingy)decides to do some serious free agent shopping.Plus Napolean Harris ain't as bad as we thought.He is overall ranked 14th in his position,which is not bad and in addition this year's draft is filled with offensive guys.And i think we are better off with a seventh pick, which i believe will be a defensive guy.

You said it , "not a fan". Stick with football shyhem. Your criticism should be limited to those giant football players, and who got traded to where. Worry about Randy Moss for a change or whichever dude you favor the most I definately agree with you. This is a dangerous team folks, watch out. I don't think so.They just lost to the kings minus Peja,and Weber had a chance to win the game but as usual he come short.

Brown They needed a make over. Its about time they got rid of randy. In NFL u don't make a move just because u need a make over, but rather for strategic reasons.And that includes trading players to increase your chances of winining. Did you know that there other recievers that play for the vikings? Yes, nate burlson,Marcus Robison and Kelly Campbell.However none of them is as productive as Randy Moss. For the team to succeed they had to get rid of randy, whenever dante throws a ball, 9/10 times it goes into the hands of Randy.The Fcuk is that? U just made Assumption number one.9/10 Is not even close to the infamous randy ratio. Now, yall rem well what happened when randy got injured,eh? Yes,we lost some and we won some.In most cases, Our defense just let us down. becoz of his(Dante) in ability to communicate well with other recievers,they failed miserably. Again Assumption number two.We had no problems with our recievers.Our offense was one of the most explosive, and we were rated the second best offense after the Colts. I think this is the best thing that has ever happened to the mpls based Side. Assumption number three You will never win championship games based on ONE(or two) good player(s). It takes team effort. Partly true, but nobody said so.We never said randy moss alone will deliver us a superbowl ring.Furthermore if u check carefully,i said i'm not anti moss trade, which basically means i'm not against the idea of shipping moss to another team.However i didn't like what we got in return.There is no way we are going to fix our defensive problems with a seventh pick and Napolean Harris.Add the depature of moss to our defensive issues and i'm telling u,here in the viking's country we are no longer optimistic about the future. God i despise the Vikings. Put u'r facts before the hate.

I don't really entertain conspiracy theories and AIDS is no different.AIDS in most cases is the result of irresponsible behaviours.U sleep around and we all the know the results,u burn u'r sh!t up.Take a look at muslim countries and u will understand why there is nothing mysterious about AIDS.

What will my life be like within the nearest future, will I have time to settle down, find a suitable husband and start a family? Will I still have my friends, whom I’ve been neglecting, will they still be there at the end of the tunnel, and will I be able to cope with my bad conscience for not being able to be there for my family???? Elysian If u pray five times and make peace with Allah,i think you're good to go.U shouldn't regret at the fact that you're spending too much time on getting yourself educated.Don't worry about your family and friends as long as there is no emergency. If u don't have the time to read the holy quran.U can buy a quran cd and listen to it on u'r way to school or work. As a muslim woman its u'r duty to get education as long as u don't forget Allah. How many muslim women are as lucky as you, pursuing their dreams of higher eduction?i guess few.Remember women are the pillars of the society and an educated woman is more an asset for her society.

LOool@he is somali.He ain't a somali and i don't know whether he is a muslim or not,but i must say he is really good.He is one of the best wide recievers in the entire league.After the moss trade i thought we will get him but i guess its too late.The bears have signed him now and i hope they trade him to us coz i don;t think our defense will be able to defend him now that he is with chicago, our north divison rival.. check this link,it won't give u all the answers u looking for but atleast u will learn afew things about NFL. http://www.nflplayers.com/players_network/players_network.aspx?ID=23866

I'm not abig fan of NBA until the playoffs starts,but i must say Chris Weber sucks big time.He got knee issues and i don't think he will ever be the same.As for that Iverson guy,he is too short to win an NBA championship.

Very interesting topic but no comment from me.

Runaway virgin Seriously u should talk to her and if she doesn't reform,just cut her off and i don't mean literally least u start looking for a knife..

playmaker I 'm not anti moss trade but this one is really bad.The whole viking organisation sucks.What on earth were they thinking. Napoloen Harris is just nothing.Dude is below average linebacker.i'm so mad i can't even say anything more.

Too bad i'm on the other side of the Atlantic.For some strange reasons, i always prefered Malcom X over martin Luther.

I do not want to discriminate the prophets of Allah, so i will be glad and consider myself blessed if i met any three (P.B.U.T)

International law may further support the accommodation of minority cultural practices. Article 27 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights states: In those states in which ethnic, religious or linguistic minorities exist, persons belonging to such minorities shall not be denied the right, in community with other members of their group, to enjoy their own culture, to profess and practice their own religion, or to use their own language. ^^This should make sense to you. Femme Fatalie I really don't know what this crap about culture is coming from. When an act is set out to hurt/damage a person for unnecessary reasons, physically and/or mentally---it is wrong! Damn culture to hell. If you don't know where the crap about culture is coming from,why on earth are you criticising poor folks who are peacefully practicing what is basically their right.How do u know it is meant to hurt others unnecessary or were you on the recieving end of footbinding.U can claim this practices to be wrong,but remember one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter.My dear, you preaching us about the harmful effects of footbinding is like Dubya bragging about bombing Baghdad to democracy.Somethings just don't make sense,you got my drift? Just because it is a cultural act--it should be tolerated? And I guess you guys would agree to female infanticide and the western culture of abortion? Now what are you talking about here or do u think this is a Jehovah witness meeting.If the western culture allows abortion and if the women in the west want to do abortion,then there is nothing i can do about it.I do not make laws and i guess only God can judge them. Shyham: What are you trying to prove? That you have no heart? Nothing,I do have aheart,its just that i'm not interested in sharing it with anyone,especially with folks like you with feminst agenda.I should have told you i'm allergic to feminst at all. No thought of anyone but yourself? Oh pretty women you should know better.How can i care about others,if i don't put myself first.Charity begins at home.Aman gotta do what a man gotta.I'm not a hypocrite and i'm not liar and definately i don't give a damn about the world. Do you want a medal now? Bro...stop sweating..no one asked you to open your wallet and help these women. Medal,What on earth will i possibly do with a medal,hang it on my wall and tell my future grand kids that the great Femme had the honor to present this medal to me on behalf of the feminst movement,oh please baby.Do i want medals?No, thank you abaayo,Please keep the medal to u'rself for i do not want to be corrupted. As for the opening of the wallet,i usually do it at a time of my own choosing.And I'm not yet ready to join the campaign against footbinding.Its just doesn't look like something that will appeal to my dollars.I rather donate and educate a poor orphan girl in Africa....which ofcourse i did than cry over a foot in Asia that was bent in a way i didn't like. The thread was to open people's eyes to the reality of the horrors that culture could bring. Some eyes are not yet ready to opened.In addition,let the sleeping dog lie. And since you are so young,so fragile,so naive and so full of energy,i thought i should dedicate this song to u'r likes.Even though i don't expect an Usher generation like to comprehend this 80's suff The song is called "white wedding"-by billy Idol Hey little sister what have you done Hey little sister who's the only one (only one) I've been away for so long (so long) I've been away for so long (so long) I let you go for so long It's a nice day to start again Come on it's a nice day for a white wedding It's a nice day to start again, wow There is nothing fair in this world There is nothing safe in this world and there's nothing sure in this world And there's nothing pure in this world Look for something left in this world Start again come one It's a nice day for a white wedding Wow, it's a nice day to start again It's a nice day to start again Besbasso I really don't have much to say about F.G.M.Do u think it's fun to make love to a circumcised woman, if its indeed true about what they are saying about F.G.M As far as i'm concerned i'm not going to discriminate somali women on the basis of who did or who didn't undergo the knife.The quality of life with my wife does not depend on her childhood experiences.

^^^ lOOOL,the chinese and the indians too.I can't stand light skinned girls with so much hair on their hands u think she is the new flag of an exotic island.

Velvet R Tell him, its the date mister.Plus we know somali women are beautiful but i can't really say so about other blacks.....again i'm not implying we are better than anyone, i just happen to think we have a higher percentage of good looking women compare to pple of our race. As for violence against somalis,I say get u'rself again,shoot them up,and if they move shoot them again.If u are not sure if they are dead,just empty the whole magazine on them,and than call the police to pick their filthy body.Its u'r God given right to defend u'rself and I don't see why some of u are scared of defending u'rself.Atleast here in America,The law of the land allows u to buy guns and blow the hell out of anyone who bothers you in u'r property. As for kids turning the guns on each other.Well,this will most likely not happen since somali teenagers in trouble with law are currently been deported back to Somalia.At this rate we will only have the well behaved kids with guns in the street of mpls.

Seventeen steps and yet no shavings happening!I thought i married a smooth lady and not a hairy one.I need a recount here.

The article is too damn long for me to read it all the way.However,I didn't see anything wrong that the developed nations did. The developing countries have an option,they can live with the little they have or indulge in debt.The choice is theirs and i don't understand why they should be crying about money they knowingly and happily borrowed with all the conditions that comes with it. And if they refuse to pay it,i guess we all know the lenders have the means to force them to pay the debt.On such day, i will be glad i'm not the president of a developing nation.If war is declared,i personally wouldn't want to be on the recieving end of the US military.

wiilo U hit the nail on the head.I tell u, one has to be frank with this folks.U see i wasn't joking when i called u a somali queen back then and ofcourse i still consider a queen. Fiance Unfortunately, attitudes like this only perpetuate the ineffectiveness in applying justice for these women. Thats a lame excuse.If u want to bring social justice to women in this world fine.But don't use me as an scapegoat.I have a suggestation for you.How about u bake some cookies,sell 'em and finally use the money to go to some third world country and start preaching 'em about how primitive their culture is. Accountability kulaaha,What accountability are you talking about and what are we counting here. Guardian n' Protector but we are not all like that. I got u'r point.However i never said we are all the same.Nevertheless,i don't see anything wrong with what this pple are doing.Furthermore what is the point of talking about something if the owners are not complaining.I don't think my mission in this world is to change the world,i only wish i could change myself to be a better me. Femme Fatalie You make it sound as if it was a choice. I wonder if you would be feeling the same if it was YOU it was happening to. If it was me i will take it like a man,afterall we are talking about my culture right.And definately i wouldn't have allowed foreigners like u to come and preach me about my skills of footbinding. It sounds archaic to you, but if footbinding is my destiny so be it. female genital mutilation is that lasting damage to the genital area can increase the risk of HIV transmission during intercourse. That must be the most overated assumption i have ever heard! Farxan a woman can be "opened" and "closed" again. acuudu bilaah,ma ilbaabbaa ? U seem suprised here.I hope u are not that naive or uninformed about u'r culture.

Assumption is not the best thing i do so i don't think i know "Em"

As sad as this practices are,i really don't care what they do with feet.It's their culture and let them practice it. I'm only concerned about me and if the rest of the world want to twist,bend and cut their body,i say do it baby....it's all yours.

Dinkywinky Enough is enough.i can no longer tolerate U'r filthy mind and useless arguments.I have studied the bible for fours yrs in high school.Not because i wanted to study christianty but i was forced to take it as a subject.First chapter in the Bible i'm sure u're aware of it is Genesis. And what did i find in Genesis?Well that A} God was not all knowing....How did i know this,u can check the book of genesis and see God looking for Adam and Eve and saying "Eve and Adam where are you?" B}That God's image is not a mystery.According to the Bible God has created Man in his own image and also in the book of genesis we are told that adam and eve heard the footsteps of God coming.That basically means God is like a man,thefore he walks around and it takes him time to go from point A to point B. In conclusion we can say that according to the book of Genesis,God is not all knowing nor does he have supernatural powers.He can't see you if u hide from him hence the reason he asks adam and eve where are you.As a muslim the bible didn't make sense to me.However i never ridiculed or made fun of christianty or christians as a whole. As for u dinky...... if u don't like islam,please keep u'r opinions to u'r likes or simply Just shudh the f**k up.You are not the first somali atheist we have come across. The rest of the members Are u guys naive or what.It seems like most of u have missed a pattern here.Before dinky disclosed she was an atheist,remember she claiming to be a " muslim" with questions and most of you were entertaining her and trying to drill sense into her small brain. My advice is you should never argue with an atheist.Having an argument with an atheist is like talking to a stone.U can talk all day but at the end he will never listen to u, coz he is not interested in u'r point. Atheist are attention seekers and u should just ignore them.

^^^ Where were u when i was rooting for the patriots by myself Anyway I guess they don't know the difference btw racism and competition.

^^^ Beat it,beat it with what? mR Millienium Thanks for the piece.
