^I was mocking the way Tuujiye talks since I was addressing him, his Somalis is always effed up. As far as the 50 vs 100 issue, I am well aware of the details, I just didn't think debating about is the right thing to do.

^I see. I would always choose the full body scan over some stranger touching me that way.

I think you are mistaking the regular metal detecting machine with the full body scan one. These are located in a specific location of the airport and if you are picked, a TSA agent will walk you there. It is random, duqa. I travel for for living, trust me.

Arranged marriages are little different than what you defined. You don't get the information of the person from their parents. That would be odd. A (reliable)relative of yours who knows about the person will tell you the good and the bad. Then your parents would talk to that person's parents and get the deal done. At least that is how the Somali version of these kinds of marriages is done. Easy.

Apparently the TSA employees refer to the machine as the "*&*# Measuring Device"

Poll: Americans Deeply In Love With Full Body Scanners CBS says the have a poll that shows Americans overwhelmingly support full body "naked" scanners at airports, despite what some "civil rights groups" have to say about them. Although some civil rights groups allege that they represent an unconstitutional invasion of privacy, Americans overwhelmingly agree that airports should use the digital x-ray machines to electronically screen passengers in airport security lines, according to the new poll. Eighty-one percent think airports should use these new machines -- including a majority of both men and women, Americans of all age groups, and Democrats, Republicans, and independents alike. Fifteen percent said airports should not use them.

Aaliyaha, qurbaha in lagu waasho is a fact. Tuujiye, Gabdhayaasha baan la hadlayaa, adigana maku biirtay?

Burger King Customer Told 'F@ck You' On Drive-Thru Receipt -- Twice It's bad enough that, after spending nearly $10 at a Sacramento, CA, Burger King, a customer found the words 'F&%* YOU' on his receipt in place of his order number; but the BK employee who felt compelled to take out their anger on the customer did it twice on the same receipt. And when he brought it to the attention of a BK employee, the man didn't exactly get the response he was expecting. "I showed the guy and he kinda just looks at it and laughs," recalls the customer. "There was no 'Sorry, I'll fix it.'" When local TV station KCRA confronted a manager of that Burger King, he acknowledged that the employees listed on the receipt do indeed work at that franchise and that it was "not acceptable." He said he would need to talk to his boss regarding the next step. BK HQ told KCRA they are investigating the incident. No word on whether or not they are taking it seriously.

Aaliyah, "Been baa la isku shukaansadaa, runna waa la isku dhaqaa" ma maqashay? The shukaansi process is getting boring these days. Going to dates, giving out gifts, and having extended phone conversations, things are getting out of control. That is why I support the arranged marriage, it helps u skip that long process and it gets you right to the destination, the marriage. Even though you have never dated with this person, you pretty much know the person's bad and good personalities so you make your decision based on that. Ismalura, dhowr goor acuudi bilaahi dheh, the xanaaq will go away instantly. Isku meel beynu wax u wadnaa.

Aaliyah, I am for arranged marriage, too. It makes the whole process easy. Most of the job is pretty much done by the parents/relatives. You don't have to convince the person to like you, that is taken care of by other people. By the time you meet the person, he/she is already in love with you as he/she has been fed with information about your "good" side. It works out great.

^LOOL I know. I apologize I was just messing with u.

He is taking it to another level, he talks about it on every discussion. It is like his kinsmen are the only ones that suffered in the Somali wars. 1991 victims almost never mention it.

Ismalura, waxaa lagaa kari la'yahay gurigaaga joog oo ninkaaga (future kusband) hakuu soo shaqeeyo miyaa? Dhibka dhan waa Kanada.. LOL

Nina, I love my storm.com is a good site for some free blackberry apps. Ha u daymo la'aan. Android operating system is the way to go though if you can get one.

Ismalura, don't get emotional with me now. Like I said, I don't make those rules and I care less of what reasons behind them, I just told you that there is such equation so easy with your man and woman are equal BS. Midda kale why do I get the feeling that somehow you think you weren't free yesterday and today you are? Your anger is right on your face LOL. Easy gabadheey, Somali women were free from get go in their country with the exception of very few cases.

^LOL.. Ku dayo dumarka ku dayo miyaa? Ismalura iyo Aaliyah baa u baahan in Jamaame lagu celiyo. Talking about day care and work and stuff. Ladies, stay home! Very simple. P.s.Did u get a real phone yet horta mise you're using that Blackberry. And by "real phone" I don't mean a crappy iPhone.

^He understands that but he is bitter because of the 1988 war.

LOOOOOOL@cellphone without water liqa, xaasidsanaa! Saliidda and biyaha kulul Somalia baa laga keenay sax, lakin that was for maseerka. Gabdhaha maseersan baa sameen jiray taas. Hadda waxaa ku dagaalameysaan guryaha aan ka baxno oo aan shaqeeno idinkoo nimankiina idiin fasixin LOL. You people are taking to another level. Guryaha jooga. I am putting all the blame on these new countries. Yaa na geeyo Jilib iyo Jamaame.

Even red sea is claiming that this is s a victory and we should call them rageedii LOOOOOOL. Yaab badanaa... For your information, Macow, Ina Iley, Faroole, Shariif, Yusuf, ibraahim dheere and every Somali qashiin sat on that same chair. Its the chair of shame and you guys are humbled about it. Libaahe asagu salaatu shukri buu tukadayba baan u maleen waxaan farxad iyo qiiro ka badane. P.s. Jaceylbaro, a servant (vice minister) welcomed siilaanyo at the airport. I had larger number of crowd waiting for me when I went to Addis Ababa if the number counts. Switching from "the photos of his arrival & red carpet" to the kind of chair he sat on ?? waar ninku indha adakaa ........ Jaceylbaro, in your own words, tell us what you are so excited about? Did you believe that Addis Ababa is unvisitable? Do you think this is a new accomplishment that Mr.Silaanyo has done? I don't really see what these celebrations are about. Addis Ababa has been visited by almost all recent Somali governors. Even Riyaale has been there many times, I guess you didn't think that one of the duriyadda can do that. Siilaanyo broke a record for reerka miyaa:D

^Oh yes, I did! I went there! Banaanka imaada kulligiin.. as long as I have Nuune, FatB, OZ and many more on my side Ciyaalka inaa heysaan waaye waana qasab oo guriga joogtaan.. West-gan baas-na waan ka noqoneynaa asagaa qaskaas keenay.

Angry birds is a fun app.

^LOL@Zeenaa. Sawyow achibchaabi naw baki.

Nina, Loool we know who is going to win if war breaks out when each man = 2 women. You know the values I am talking about, raggu waa 100, dumarkuna 50. And don't be mad at me I don't make those equations...
