The funny news of the day! You have really disappointed me Stoic. What are you grinning on about? You think horribly mutilating an innocent little child is funny? You find this article and its contents amusing? Perhaps even entertaining? Reading that, I am so angry and disgusted that I can hardly think. P.S. I bet if it was you going under the knife with some demented old hag you wouldnt find a reason to smile. Heartless & Cold.

Ngonge, Seems I missed it. I wasn't really interested in the thread anymore anyway. I just hate people who discriminate.

Ya'll need to stop the useless bickering and shut the hell up....119 responses for an 'alarm' but not even one thread for the 89 people who died in Egypt. Or were they not 'innocent' also? Uff.

I think its a lovely idea. Good luck brah. :cool: [Edited]- Oh! You asked for advantages...hmmm. Well...err...think of the ajjar will get...sort of like a charity case. :rolleyes:

Gosh, nafta. Had a totally different experience. I hated that book. But I forced myself to read it cause it was a classic and I should say I read something smart once. I liked her sister's book better... Jane Eyre by charlotte Bonte. But I read everything...including novels my grade 4 sister brings home. Honestly. And no...I don't read to her...I go to my room and read it by myself. Does anyone read V.C. Andrews books? Or how about true crime stories?

I once forgot to turn off a bunsen burner at a chem lab. :eek: Thank god I remembered and called security before the whole place burned down. P.S. I think I also left a gas cap on. Chemistry was never my thing anyway. I tend to forget things I'm not interested in. Convenient. Very convenient. Or if I'm not reminded at least twice a day.

I hate shopping. The selection is so depressingly small. They are either too short, too small, too tight, too colourful or just plain too ugly! :mad: Im a skirt girl though. Have not wore a dress in years. I don't even think that there exists a good dress out there anymore---that is a long one that you don't have to pair with something else. Did anyone find it yet?

Goonle ...maybe next time it would be wise to stop and think before you open your mouth and yap about things you obviously know nothing about. So now stating a fact makes one a feminist? Or *the horror* Ayan hirsi (not Ali by the way). As for the topic...yes smoking is a disgusting, vile habit...and yes a hijabi smoking is not a good sight to see. Laakiin, Islam has bigger problems to deal with than an innocent women losing weight, one lung at a time.

For those men who stup!idly claim that "housekeeping isn't a man's job"...the Prophet (scw) wasn't a man miyaa? Thats who all men should look up to as a role model and this argument of mine will never die. Forget about Faraxs who usually have 9-5 jobs and earn quite enough...compare to the Prophet whose "job" was 24 hours a day and still had time to help his wives, mending his own clothes and all the rest and was still living way below his means? Moving on, I have learned to stop worrying about men and what they do for my mental health. Those men belong to other women. Women who tolerate their crap time and time again. Women who don't seem to care about themselves and their well-being. What I also learned is to take this all as a lesson and make sure that my life doesn't turn out that way, Inshallah. The only thing I should be concerned about when it comes to the subject of men and their habits, is how my life is going to be affected by it. Thats it. Forget about all the others in their world. I have no control or influence over them. Ultimately some woman choose him and liked him the way he was. Why should I put myself in their business? I certainly do not need the headache. P.S. Yes. Some women don't see it coming. They might have been tricked in the game of shuukansi. But who said they should stay and live like that? No one.

No you are not a freak . Perhaps lonely more like it.

Originally posted by LANDER: The United Kingdom is a country at War I know seems kind of obvious don't it? But seems a lot of people forget this simple little fact. They all would acknowledge that Iraq is at war because after all we see the events on TV, but in the UK what signs of war are there? Virtually none thus far and it will likely continue to be that way aside from this isolated incident. So this is what usually leads us to overlook certain facts. Fact is in most wars there are “non-combatant†casualties, the innocence and whether the events where deliberate or accidental is beside the point, our perspective should be that these events do take place and should be expected as an actuality of war. The Farax who commutes to work everyday via the underground in London and, the Xabibi who drives his rusty ‘85 toyota tercel cab as a means of work everyday in the streets of Baghdad can both be potential victims of this war. Whether it's just or unjust is irrelevant to that reality. Gosh you are so right....I was a little surprised by the mass hysteria also after the shock of the event itself. I'm sorry, but to me...37 people isnt alot compared to the attention given. Believe whatever you want..but Britian had it coming.

Close call. May Allah have mercy on us all.

He wasnt as good as naked. I wouldnt be so vulgar. I mean the people who owned the website wouldnt let me borrow the damn pic---paranoid freaks. Anyway---I just heard about the whole Live 8 thing two days ago. I don't know what the hell I was listening to. Proof that I live under a rock. Athena, The man is not normal. He looks like what a colourblind old bird would consider good looking. The guy is washed out and his smile annoys me.

Zephrine, Um lets see here. Who was saying something about hankering after buryaqab infedils? Thought so. Athena, I'm not gonna lie to you. The man is average. He is closer to the spectrum of ugly than to anything else. Now if you wanna see how a real man looks like---check him out! :cool: [DAMN THE MAN IS SO FREAKIN HOT--THEY WONT LET ME LINK HIS PIC HERE.] Sexy people are so discriminated against. Anyway...here is a pic that doesnt do him justice.

^LOL. Funny. Why do invited guests make fun of either the decor, complain about the food, or talk about the brides height, weight, dress she wore, skin colour, and choice of groom? Some had the nerve to talk loudly where others can hear them. I wanted to stand up and tell them to get the hell out----ungrateful losers...but it was not my place to do so. Will do in the future, inshallah. :cool: Right after their lack of respect for time ( a couple of brides came late for their own weddings...go figure) the next thing that annoys me is the vidoe. No, not what your thinking. I mean when the vidoe man decides to record people swarmping in on the food. That is just disgusting. Why would anyone want to watch a bunch of people stuffing themselves? And in such a way? Yes, yes, yes. Some of you are probably wondering that I'm describing myself...you know complaining after Ive been graciously invited. Well, I'm not. Im making general observation of all somali weddings I've went to. It's poorly organized and they don't stick to their promises.

Let me get back to the subject of time. I could talk about that for hours. I truly do not understand why somali people do not seem to value other people's time. I am one of those people who come to an appointment, meeting, or event ten minutes early...whether one person or 50 are waiting. I do not like being late. At all. For whatever reason. I start panicking and at least try to contact the people and let them know that I'm gonna be 10 seconds later than planned. Its not just weddings where somali people have taken the ' fashionably late' idea and completely turned it on its head. 10 minutes is fashionably late. 3 hours is just plain rude. Especially at a masjid function or going to someone's house. When you have been invited. Argh! I remember one such day very clearly because its burned into my memory. An aunt and her children came from the states and were dropping in on us. They said they will come by our house for lunch. Well, I flew into action. Started dusting off my cooking books and sent the whole household to complete various chores. I cooked, cleaned, sweat, for hours to make the perfect food and greet them with the perfect house. I was bone tired but excited. Well...they called 5 hours late and said they couldnt make it. They wanted to go shopping. SHOPPING :eek: :eek: I was absolutley furious. A rage the size of quranjo was bubbling up in my heart and before I could scream into the phone and tell them off...my mother gave me the look. That quited me down and I said in a sugary voice that could've chocked me "its all right...". Ofleh, I don't know what your talking about. Try to be less gullible in the future, ok? Zum, LOL! Well most somfali wedding are carbon copies of each other...take ideas from heblaayo's wedding vidoe. Ngonge, Exactly. You captured the hectic day perfectly.

Those are the only ones that I have attended so far...but I feel like complaining. Indulge me. The one I attended last night I think is the last one for me for a very long time. Unless its very close family. My eardrums are permanently damaged I'm afraid. I was stuffing wet tissues in my ears because they were so hot...the volume of the music was turned 100 times more than necessary. The whole floor was vibrating. Some pple were even sticking their fingers in their ears. I bet that wont look good on the vidoe. Another thing thats puzzling...I have only attended women's only parties. But apparently the DJ, singer, and camera men are not classified as men on that day. People who are covered from head to toe...let it all out that day. Hmmm. Maybe they are blind. Who knows? In my area alot of halls are barred for somali weddings. They piss of the managers big time and its so embarassing. The hall owner actually came out several times to say that its closing time...but people ignored him and just blasted the music even louder and continued on with their conversations. We ended up leaving early in the morning: 4:00 a.m. The party started at 10 p.m. However, they said it would start at 8:00. Being me...I come up exactly on the dot. Big mistake. Somalis will be somalis. I should stop giving them the benefit of the doubt and always come 3 hours late. Afterall, thats what everyone does. Hmmm. I'll add more when I think of it. My head hurts so much now. I'm gonna sue somebody soon.

LOL @ 'many sisters' and 'some ladies'. I simply loathe cowards. Hibo: Whatever...so long as you don't label as feminist whomever doesn't concur with your every word.

Thats not rocket science. So the galoos said this. Now what the heck is the somali man's excuse for his pitiful paycheck? And all the feminist wannabes,, save ur breathes.. we all know the truth. Maybe when u have children a little hardwork kicks in, but as new wives... u barely do anything. LOL. Cute Hibo. Shoot down those who disagree with you by insulting before they even open their mouths. Who are you trying to impress?

What touch? The only silly love I want is from my hindi movies.

Are people confusing love with lust? Most people get married knowing each other a year or less...I don't think thats enough time to truly love a person. Anyway...love is overrated. It has lost its being and sounds fake now-a-days.

I guess I can train you later. I'll catch a Stray bullet for you anyday How sweet. Kale--- do you think such a man exists?

^According to sue...you & me are a match. :eek:

No one can hide who they truly are for long. They are eyes and ears everywhere, especially in the somali community. If a person considers marriage important, they would do the proper research and not just rely on what their partner says about himself/herself, b/c qofkasta wuu is faaniyaa. Besides, if you did not see that person or know first hand of their escapades...you have no right in repeating rumours.
