The UN conducted a survey about the solutions for the food shortage in the world, ONly one question was asked in this survey:- "What could be your honest opinion about the solutions for the food shortage in the rest of the world, please?" the survey was a huge failure, because:- 1- In Africa , they didn't understand what "Food" meant, 2- In Eastern Europe , they didn't understand what "Honest " meant, 3- In Western Europe , they didn't understand what "Shortage " meant, 4- In China , they didn't understand what " opinion " meant, 5- In Middle East , they didn't understand what " Solutions " meant, 6- In Latin America , they didn't understand what " Please " meant, 7- In USA , they didn't understand what " The Rest of the world " meant.

Is this memo written by the devil or what?!! How Cruel VP? :mad: Earlier [VP] used to be known as the abbreviation of a Vise President, it seems nowadays its for the VamPire only LOL Nice 1 JB, thanx Salam

Juba: Well, I have no problem with anytime. What I meant was that we need to choose a specific day for starting. Its not necessary that we all post our reviews at the same day. Wheneve they are done with their reading they can post their reviews. So even if its in January, when exactly in January? 1,5 or 15? WOL, "The Manual of the Warrior of Light" is another good book for Paulo. If you read "AlChemist" you'll find that he mentioned the sentence "The Warriors of Light" in Alchemist. So Iam sure "AlChemist" inspired Paulo to write another book called "The Manual of the Warrior of Light", nice green book, damn it I even remember the color of the books' covers Salam

Nomads, I believe we should evaluate ourselves before we plan for the new year. Everybody gotta sit with him/herself and write all what he/she achieved last year and what he/she couldnt achieve. This will make it easier when u start planning 4 da new year. Trust me in this, SELF- Evalution is the key to the success in your personal planning. check yourself in many fields:- 1-Financial issues : like How much I spent this year, How much I'd saved, What should I avoid next time? What should I must concetrate on for the Next Time? Did I spent some money in the charity sides and for the sake of ALlah? Did I spent on my nearest needy relatives?? Or I spent it all on myself? .....etc. 2-Social Issues :- Am I good person with my family? My relatives? Friends? Have I visted my Aunts/Uncles?cousins/Grandpapa or GM? Or do I call them at least if I dont have the chance to meet them? Or they don't know anything about me coz Iam the one who is not communcating or keep in touch with them? Did I visited the Sick ppl (family members or friends) in their houses or in the hospitals and said good words to them? Do I socialize with them in the social gatheringz when Iam invited and able to do that?,,,, etc 3-Spirtual Issues :- Am I regular in my daily prayers? Did I read the Holly Quran on regular basis and memorized some verses or its like evey year I never memorise a single verse? Did I prayed in the Mosque this year? Did I attended the Islamic Gatherings in my University, college, Islamic Centers,,, etc 4-Health Issues : What about my health? Am I concerned about my Health? My daily meals? My medication (If you have one)? Is there anything that I'd noticed in year 2004 that needs more concetration and follow-ups? Do I sleep good? Do I care about my weakness points in food & entertainment things that may harm me or damage my health?Is there any stress problems? Do I exercise and keep my body fit or I live with junk foods and never care about that? is there anything that I should quit: Smoke/drinks,,,,,, etc 5-Intellectual & Knowledge Issues : Did I learnt new thing this year (Sure you did) So what was the most valuable lesson I learnt this year? How did it influnced me? did it touched my life and changed something in me? What Should I need to focus on ? Am I doing good in my School/Univ? Hows my scores? Do I need a private tutor in a particular field/lesson? Do I read frequently? Do I use the Knowledge resourses in a good way: Internet, Library, clubs,people, centers??? 6- Work Issues : How my performance at work this year? Am I fearing the Lord in my work field or I come late and leave early and get money 4 nothing? Do I have good relationship with my boss and my colleagues? Is there any pressure at work that I should find a solution for it? Do I have to change my career or my job? Do I have to get a part-time job???,,,,etc 7-Emotional Issues :- Check your problems with your wife/husband. Concetrate on these issues, don't try to ignore them it might explode one day and you'll suffer later. Ask yourself: Am I doing good with my hubby/wife/fiance? Am I spending time with him/her or busy with my work or study? Did I brought a gift for her/him? Do we discuss or we keep many things pending and unsolved? Do I apology when its needed? And many many many many many questions to ask yourself before you start to plan for the new year. See what you've lost and what you've gained. See what you have to do to make the NEW YEAR more effective and valuable without repeating the same old mistakes in year 2004. All what you need is :- 1- A pencil and piece of paper or why dont you make for youself a book you call it "My Book" or "Myself" whatever you call it is upto you. And put all your ideas,feedback,advices,plans,,,etc so that you can get back to it and check it whenever required. To add things or omit things. Don't depend on papers coz you may scatter or misplace them 2- A Quite place (environment) and while you are in good mood inorder you get the best of you. Avoid crowded places coz it may disturb you. Choose a quite and convenient place. 3- No need to drink coffee or tea, try water or natural juices. And stop smoking while you are putting your plans. In every shop/stores/market or corporation they do the Annual Year End Stock Taking. And they check what they have achieved in 2004, what they sold and what they couldnt sell. What they have to concetrate on in their plans next year. What was their loses and profits. Don't you think guyz we need to do the same for ourselves??!!! The most important company on this year is your "SELF Company" which you build a year after a year. You need to check this company When you are done with your "Self Evaluation" only that time you can start to plan for the New Year best of luck 4 all inshallah. B Frank and Honest with yourselves Myself I have many personal plans, If I will start mentioning them here u may hate me all LOL. "Long List" much longer than this reply So its better to remain unrevealed Salam

I had read the “Al Chemist†in year 2000 in English Language and the Arabic translated copy in 2003. Every time I re-read this outstanding book I feel that It deserves to be read again I would love to share the pleasure of discussing it with you nomads, hurry up guyz. Where are you SOL readers? Any specific day to start the discussion? 1- 25/12/2004 2- 31/12/2004 Don’t tell me you celebrate the Christmas and the New Year , Do you?! I hope you don't inshallah

Somali ppl know very well how to waste their times on useless talks :mad: Nomads... we've could have built a Netcraper in Somalia by now instead of all this rage Silence, let's get serious:- Hello Nomads,,, "who is ready to help in Constructions, Engineering,Financial issues,Administration,,, anything??!!!!" Anybody,, any volunteers,, "Can anybody at least donate some money to build a small school in Somalia, or a clinic, or maybe a pharmacy?!" "You don't have money, well its ok. "Can anyone help with his/her brilliant ideas?!. NO ONE "Can anyone at least give the others the motivation to do something useful for our Motherland?!? No 1 Cry my beloved country Its seems there is no one ready to build our country or learn from other countries.We'll wait for the aliens/martians to build contructions in Somalia. There was a nomad who was fuming with anger, lets keep talking about Dubai's Investments Salam

^^^ You are so modest girl, you should have asked for the Central Bank to be registered under ur name, the president's best palace, some Rolls-Royces. And your Majesty, perhaps we can change the Burj AlArab's decoration and design in case u didn't like the palace For the shopping mall,we can order the Khaleejis 2 build a unique marvellous special shopping mall for you and let's call it "Arabian Nights" LOL Salam

Originally posted by OG_Girl: ^^ Is by force!! Give us money or you are not good Muslim? Since Adam and Eve there was rich and poor, what is that you don't understand about Arabs?.. You guys don't remember Islam unless you see Arabs?! Do your part then blame others!!! Wallah 7alah ahowa '39ab? :rolleyes: Salam If our brothers/sisters in SOL are really after The "Muslims help 2 their muslim bros". I wonder why nobody is talking about Bruney,Malasyia,Indonesia,Nigeria and Turkey. Coz all eyes on Arabs ONLY!!! Classique, I am sure shahnazade did not mean only in UAE , even in UK there is "wasta" OG-G: Honey, Wasta in everywhere even in the Permuda Triangle you'll find some wasta there Iam sure there are some Nomads here who bought spacious and luxurious apartments in the Nakheel,Emaar,Telal, and Fountains Villas and Apartments projects n Dubai LOOL. If I ONLY know their names I can expose them here How lovely constructions and skycrapers

Originally posted by Nationalist: Of course the Arabs do something. But if I would send a penny to a starving child in Africa, while I'm a millionaire, would I deserve credit of helping here? Of course not. This is exactly the case with the Arabs. I was fuming with anger when I heard an Arab sheikh offering $ 15 mln USD for the victims of 9/11. What about the victims in the air raid by the US in Khartoum, razing a promising medicine manufacturer to the ground? Or when another Arab sheikh bought a necklace worth $40 mln USD for his daughter? 1- First of all thats the Saudi Prince "AlWaleed Bin Talal", and nobody likes him anyway, he invests in the Westerns Hotels, Walt Disney and he is so attached to the western celebrities like Wacko Jacko ...etc. Don' tell me you consider all the Arabs like AlWaleed Bin Talal, do you?! 2- Guyz, there are many muslims who spent their money on their pleasures and luxurious things. For example like Sultan of Bruney who spent big amounts of money, jewels and precious stones on his life and specially on his daughter's wedding ceremony or any other president or leader?? SO why concetrating on those Arabs who r doing the same. 3- mmm and now you are talking about a Danish lady's book. Don't be so proud of her book, you'll find another Danish person who is attacking the Somali ppl. Common 4 god sake, be realistic & fair!! OG: I need a Panadole, I thought its enough the Darfur topic in the politic section. P.S. Shehrazade: Iam in Abu Dhabi dear and u r most welcomed in UAE. About the "Wasta" thing Iam sure its everywhere NOT ONLY in UAE

^^^ Who said so??! Then what you call all these Asians(Indians,Pakis,Philipines,Bangalis,,,etc)Arabs,Africans & Westerns!!! Don't tell me you consider them all ONE race Have you been to UAE? OR u just heard that!!!

Wind Talker:- Boring ppl are boring coz they tell the truth isnt it?! Then I have no problem to be called a "Boring person with boring stories". Keep talking 2 da wind.

^^^ Good, but Iam sure some nomads will concetrate on Para. # 6 ONLY

^^^ Sands foundation, Is that all what you can say??!Arabs are only americans-wanna-be!! HUH Wiilo: Dear, why dont you try to find out what good things Arabs did to their brothers Palestineans that you are talking about? B4 judging try to know. They built mosques,schools, hospitals,roads, orphans houses,,,etc. And besides to their business investments, the ARabs you are calling them (Money-wasters) are contributing to the Islamic World in many fields. Will you ppl be fair for a once in this Website? OG-G: Girl why don't you come to Dubai Shopping Festival (DSF) this year. We can enjoy our times and discuss about "How 2 build a better future n Somalia". That would include Skycrapers in Somalia إرضاء الناس غاية لا تدرك Salam

In my last visit to my lovely beautiful city Ceerigabo and while chatting with two of my male cousins (19 & 23 Yrs) who never left Somalia. I felt the deep hate they have against Arabs. Would you believe they never visit any Arab country, ever!!! And they never delt with arabs in their whole lives!! And the Only Arabs they know very well (throught the TV only) are:- 1- Saddam Hussain 2- Osama Bin Laden 3- And Yassir Arafat (May Allah 4give him and grant him the Jannah) Then When I asked them "How can you hate a person or a nation if you never saw,delt,interacted with them?!. Based on what you created this hate and disgust in your heart??!! Cousins,I would really love to know. Nomdads, Iam not talking about disagreement or dislike here. Coz anybody can disagree and dislike someone. NO, but Iam talking about the Deep Hate and Prejuidice against any person/nation. Coz, at least the person who lets say had been humiliated, tortured, offended,,, etc which naturally caused hate and anger in his heart can be excused (temporarily) for the bad feelings and memories he'd kept in his mind/heart (But ofcourse he has to understand that if one single person or a group of ppl had hurted him it doesnt mean he has to generalize it in on all the nation). But for the others: You won't get a rational reason for this hate. Somtimes they say "Coz what's happening in Palestine and Iraq are done by Arabs, they are not helping their brothers". And when Iasked them "And you as Muslim what you've done for your muslim brothers in Palestine and Iraq?"! all what I get from them (whether from my two cousin or the Arab-haters) is SILENCE,nothing else. Some said "Wallahi anago somalia bano joogna oo waxbana ma oo qaban karno. walaken If we can go there we can do in minutes what arabs couldn't it in years". LOOL I wonder why can't they do these so-called tremendous efforts & miracles inside SOmalia instead blaming the arabs. you know why, coz as it was said "Maroodigu takarta saaran ma arkee ka kale ta saaran buu arkaa Or as Bilan said "coz Arabs are rejecting our sheeps (its only in KSA, not in all Arabia). The same broken record is repeated over and over (never ending story). The same happened in a Somali room in the PalTalk, they were attacking and offending Arabs for no reasonable reasons. Most of the talkers were from Europe, Australia, USA and Somalia. And guess what, those talkers used to live, study and work in the Arabs Lands. Iam sure 100% that there were at least few good things which can be said yaaakhi instead of saying the bad things ONLY and airing the dirty laundry of the Arabs infront of everybody. Nobody can deny that there are some discriminations and Human Rights violations, but that could happen anywhere and anytime. Even the CITIZEN in his own country can face some prejuidices sometimes. The Somali guyz who went to the other countries for study or work (whether its Muslim or non-muslim) like India,Pakistan, Bangladesh, philipines, Malaysia...etc are not talking badly about these nations as they do with Arabs while Iam sure 100% there are some discriminations or troubles going on there in the non-arabic countries . So why Only the Arabs who are attacked by the Somalis?! Back to the TOPIC :- Iam sure if there is any hard feelings or hate inside the opinion-giver's heart against any nation then defintely his/her judgement will be biased. You can blame and criticize people as much as you want,but at the same time you gotta be just and objective. There is no nation who are devils 100% or Angels 100%. Judge/treat others the way you would like to be judged/treated. Would you love to be called a SOMALI warlord/ or a thug just coz there are some bad somali individuals/groups who are warlords and theives. OG:"I am not defending Sudan Goverment here but I have all right to question American true intentions behind it" LOL my lovely & Sweet OG-Girl, luv u girl. Do you want to be sent behind the SUN?! certainly no :- Nobody have the right to question Mama America's intentions and her little ugly child "Israel". Even the Devil can't do that, besides Wind Talker told us not to put everying on the West. Stop blaming them for everything. It seems he has the right to put everything negative on Arabs and ignore all the positive things while giving all the credit and nice image to the WILD WILD WEST :confused: Suju yahow lissen..What evidence you got? Just answer me why the fleeing refugees are Black and not a mixture of ethnicities, i.e. Black, Arab etc? Ngonge, that's your homework for tonight. To count all the fleeing refugees. Don't forget about the "COLOUR" thing *important* coz it seems this thread is all about the Color not about the Darfur Crisis. But How you gonna find out? Even the Arab Sudanse is a black in Sudan. I guess you need to do studies and researches about their History,Lineage and perhaps their blood too. WT: Sir, is there any other evidences you need to know/get?! Frankly, would you care about the Darfur Crises if it was only in the NOrth of Sudan and between Arabs-sudanese as you prefer to call them?! P.S: Back to my work, hey Guess what I have two Arabs Managers (males from the same country) one is hot-tempered & horrible and the other guy is open-minded,gentle and great human and manager, do I have to consider them both criminals and bad figures??!! Salam

^^^ Coz they love to discover the new virgin Lands Why the the Somali's rooms n Paltalks are always about: Politics- Songs and Garoobs?

Wind Talker:- (Classique u misunderstood completeyly! ) Really, Did I?! What I saw in your words is what I understood fella. And what I saw is that this topic which is supposed to be about the current tragedy in Darfur is not discussed as it should be (Except 2 or 3 nomads here who are really discussing it right without prejudice or bias). This is what I got from your words (not literally):- 1-Sudanese Arabs attacking the Blacks in Darfur. (Why taking us back to the Dark Ages by using the word “Blacks†as if the Sudanese in the North are White Russians and not black too :confused: This is aint ethnical cleansing its like a Civil War and Iam sure 100% there are outsiders who are supporting this war and increasing hate and damages for their own purposes). 2- The complete silence of the other Arabs who are not doing anything but watching this tragedy with cold blood (coz as you see it Arabs are supporting the Arabs Sudanese while nobody is supporting the victims in Darfur) 3-The Black History of the Arabs regarding the Slavery Trade. 4-The Great support of America to the Bosnians and completely disregarded Arabs' support to their Bosnian Brothers. 5-Then you call the Qatari News Channel “Al Jazeera†a biased News Channel while the Americans and Westerns News channel that you are taking your information from are not biased. =========================================== A little kid can figure out the prejudice against the Arabs in your words. Then you wondered when I compared the Darfur situation with the Old Somali situation as tribes fights. (Coz I believe its just what happened in Somalia, two blind brothers who are fighting each others without concetrating on the damages and loss, not two different ethnic groups). And when I mentioned the West injustice towards the Islamic World just to clear my point to you. Your replied me “Stick to the topic, Classiqueâ€. Now you tell me: Who opened the Slavery and the unnecessary talks in first place. Do I have to check my eyes or what?! Am I reading wrong here to understand wrong. Corrrrrrrect me if Iam wrong sir, I would be really pleased to be enlightened. You said not to take the discussion from the personal view and discuss it from the political side, d’accord:- I wonder why all the fights, wars and any other internal problem in the Arabs Lands considered always as Arabs Vs. Non-Arabs (whoever living in their lands). Certainly we don’t want for Darfur to become another Halabjah (The Kurdi Massacre in Iraq, coz many people consider it as Arabs Vs. Kurds. While it was in reality a Criminal President vs. his whole nation whether they are Arabs, Kurds, Shiites, Sunnis, Assyrians, Christians…etc. Unfortunately, nobody really understood it exactly right. And till now your so-called liberal & tolerant West records and sources show the matter as Arabs Vs Kurds. The same happened in 1912-1916 in the Armenian Massacre (Arabs vs. Armenians). Nobody is justifying the Sudani Government mistakes, hell no. They did mistakes just like any other government in this world. Politics is not always good and clean. But I disagree with you when you consider all this tragedy caused by them and referring to them as Arabs murderers. I believe its like Ngonge have said: There are many sides to this story and many players. Bottomline Whoever wants to judge this crisis should be fully aware of it. Try to get the full picture and don’t blame on side alone. Ma fahamtay?

hmmm,I thought the topic is about Darfur Problem not about the Slavery Traffic. What's going on in Darfur is a Tribal fights. Its a Sudani Vs Sudani just like what happened in Somalia (Somali vs Somali). So kindly try to understand and be objective while judging others. Wind-Talker: The West & USA helped the Bosnians against the Serbs(interesting,very interesting). And Arabs never helped them or do anything? Those arabs,So Can I ask you "What the Somalis did for the Bosnians, brother?" Did they do anything for help? And about your civilised and merciful Americans: Where is your Americas Now? Why they r not helping the Palestineans, Iraqis, Afganis and Chichanis? Why they r not stopping the massacres in Falluja? Why don't they cut their aids and funds from Israel? I guess you're not concerned about that coz you are concectrating right now on the "barbaric and inhumane" campaigns of genocide in contemporary history "Darfur". OG: Skip dear, It seems Arabs are behind all the disasters and calamaties on the earth, probably they are the reason of what's happinging in Philipines(ygoloon the Forest-destroyers origins are Arabs). Or maybe they are the reason behind Ozon Hole too. Remember the Arabophobia story. gal esh gal, gal Bosnia. I wonder why others r not blaming themselves b4 blaming others. So Juba as african what would you do for Darfur Sir?! salam

Libaax Sankatabte, it reminded me of George Bernard Shaw's play " Androcles and the Lion" Heard of it?! it was very interesting indeed, specially for children. Ngonge: Who's Camleeq? You mean the "AlCamaleeeq", the Giants tribes who used to live in Arabia :confused: Salam

^^^ I remembered the word "te quiero" from Enrique Iglesias's song "Bailamos" which means this is Spanish Lang. (Espanol) Gracias
