"Two sugars please" C/llahi brought the Ethiopian army in, Shariif signed an agreement to evacuate them. That's all you need to know.

So how's the president of the rest of Northern Somalia doing?

Dear brother Nur I'm not Spanish lol, although I do understand the language pretty well. And I know what Saaxib means Concerning your concern: Now I see what you mean, but I hope I can put your fears at rest. See, many of these Catholic and Protestant countries have stopped basing their identity on religion quite a long time ago. If saying that Somalia is a Muslim country, or that Lebanon is a Christian & Muslim country has meaning, not the same can be said about many Western countries, who are practically atheist. You will find that very few people practice their faith (if indeed they recognize a faith). Even in Italy, where the Vatican is situated, not many people are religious. I come from one of the most religious countries in Europe, Romania, but even I seldom go to church. Maybe once a year, for Easter. I do pray every day, however. The point I'm trying to make is that these countries you refer to haven't got much to do with Christianity anymore. True, Ireland is a bit different. The Irish have held on to their religion harder than most, partly because of repression from the Brits, but even so... Also, while there certainly was abuse in Catholic and Protestant schools, this has little impact on Western countries today. Child abuse is taken very seriously in "developed" countries, by the authorities and by everyone else. Even in prison pedophiles get - to be mild - the crap beaten out of them. To be fair, children may be more vulnerable in Western countries because society has become more individualistic, and less family-oriented. In a "get rich quick" world, it's everyone out for themselves. But as long as we keep an eye on our children, everything should be fine I think.

This sinister football game will only end with a political agreement. Otherwise it'll be capture, lose, re-capture, lose again, and so on, with all the neighborhoods in Xamar.

She prays in the bathroom?

pipedream

Airbus in general has amazing safety records, and I always felt safe onboard (which is more than I can say for those DCs with the tail engine). I hate plane crashes. Reminds you how scary flying is. Now don't get me wrong. I'd love to be the pilot, because I love planes and flying. But entrusting your life to someone you've never met, someone you've never even SEEN... It can be scary.

His face reflects his deeds.

I'll play the Eastern European sailor who is held hostage and develops an enriching platonic relationship with his captors, transcending all cultural and religious barriers, causing the audience to burst in tears at the end of the movie when we are all killed in slow motion by an American missile launched by Tom Cruise, who had to make the "tough choice".

God help them

Aweys = Hyena He has an evil face indeed.

$1100 "ouch"?? That's a bargain! I pay more than that to go to Romania.

Yeah, great time to overpopulate the planet, when people are starving all over the world.

We all hoped, but I'm afraid Xamar is cursed. Too much blood has been shed for the violence ever to stop. Even the trees and stones whisper of the horrors that happened in this city. I try to believe, but I'm starting to think Mogadishu is headed for the same fate as Atlantis.

Originally posted by Hassan6734: The somali army needs better training and more funding to be larger and stronger to deal with the al-shaytaan enemies of the somali people. Then better weapons and armed conveys can be provided. lol @ al-shaytaan good one! As for the weapons, I wish somebody would repair those Mig 21s that are rusting away in hangars and garbage piles. I also wish somebody would train pilots. All it takes is some Mig 21s to get rid of Shabaab, to patrol the borders, to patrol the coast, etc.. Somalia needs an AIR FORCE!

Originally posted by The_Siren: I’ve just come back home from watching the movie Drag me to hell and as a result I was so impressed with it that I decided to write you all a quick review of it. Well what can I say other than it was utterly wonderful and bloody brilliant! Excuse the enthusiasm buts it’s like finding a rare gem amongst the ample of useless rocks that serve has ‘horror” movies today. Throw away those sh*tty Saw 2, 3, 4 and what? 26 is it now movies? and get your @rse down to the cinemas to watch this movie ASAP. For those of you who are unaware of what the movie is about, I’ll give you a quick run down of the plot . Its about a poor-kindhearted loan officer/banker who has to evict an decrepit spooky-gross looking old woman from her home after the lady fails to make her mortgage re-payments, as a result the poor banker named Christine ends up being cursed by the old woman (most likely of eastern-European heritage) who uses dark gypsy magic to do so. From there what ensues is a desperate attempt by Christine to rid herself of the curse by seeking the aid of an Indian “seerer” fortune teller/palm reader to you and me. The curse is pretty bad as it basically involves the summoning of this evil demon called the lamia which literally drags the cursed souls of the damned into the very depths of hell. Where swirling fire, the clawing hands of soul hungry demons and eternal damnation await. I was reluctant I must say to watch another hocus pocus Hollywood mish-mash full of the usual contrived patronizing clichés but I’m telling you this movie was bloody wonderful, easily being one of the best genuinely enjoyable scary movies I’ve seen in a very, very long time. Having become desensitized to just about everything this movie actually made me jump with fright in a number of places, cringe/cry in others and laugh my @rse off as well. Wallahi there were several hilarious and ridiculously good-humored laughs in this and I found myself unabashedly glued to the silver screen in reluctant admiration and giddy excitement with just a healthy dose of the "ooh sh*t" fear factor. The movie was an excellent re-visit to those much loved retro-scary movies which have been updated with a brilliant performance coming from the lead actress Alison Lohman who played the cursed banker. In essence, if you decide to go out and watch a movie this weekend make sure you watch Drag me to hell, it will have you jumping out of yours seats, giggling whilst simultaneously weeping on the insides with paranoid glee at the whole idea of an unyielding hell awaiting the bad. If you don’t say a few extra du’ah’s of “please Allah save me from hell” during your Isha prayer after you watch this film? Then you’re one brave fool. LOL, Over all I had a marvelous time at the cinema and I wish Hollywood would produce greatly enjoyable movies like these instead of boring us with the usual typical no brainier slasher movies, now dont get me wrong I’m hardly a snob, I mean I love mindless violence, sadistic psychopaths drenched with blood and guts as much as the next gal but hell I don’t enjoy bored to death with some of the nonense thats passed of as "scary" for horny teens. Twilight I want my money back! Give me something different, refreshing and at the very least enjoyable. I give this film a 9 of out 10 . More if I wasn’t being so finicky. Oh and it was such a lovely change to actually have found myself liking and warming-definitely feeling sorry for the main character. Usually I can't wait for those dumb blond b*tchs to die but I had my heart out for this one- hell I was rooting for her to suceeded all the way. (No pun intended) Here is the trailer for it if you’re yet to see it. http://www.youtube.c om/watch?v=p-REviL75 zg Oh and for those of you with a more cultured- (by that I mean sophisticated)Europe an taste in flims try watching “let the right one in” . Beautifully made Swedish film about a 12 year old vampire and her boy neighbor- a very sweet- sinister but poignant film which is understated, eerily wonderful and comes highly recommended. I heard about both movies, Drag me to Hell and the vampire one. I hear really good things about them, can't wait to see em.

Originally posted by Emperor: Sherban, Stop acting silly and arguing over nothing, its simple logic, Sheikh hotel has lost the war agaisnt the Islamist, all of middle Shabelle is gone he's cornered in a small few inches of Mogadishu and is protected by the Ugandans - Gaalo and foreign force.... Now Hassan Dahir is gearing up for more and has claimed to overthrow Sheikh Shariif governent. Your Sheikh hotel has openly asked for foreign intervention and sent his minister to Adiss Ababa and was finally in Mustaxiil the Somali border courting with Ethiopian generals with thousands of armed forces there, so now Mr. Sherban you want us to believe he was telling them not to interfere Loool, is that how naive and simple Shariif supporters are Simple logic? You mean assumptions and speculation. I repeat this for the millionth time. You have zero proof Shariif asked Ethiopia in. Also, a new invasion won't happen. You can hope for it, you can pray, but Shariif will not repeat your "legend's" mistake. He knows that would unite all Somalis against him. You must really think the President of Somalia is some sort of simpleton. But, by all means, keep making half-baked assumptions and making fools of yourselves. You know what they say: everywhere a crook looks, he sees a crook.

Long live Shariif!

Talk to me when Ethiopia "liberates" Mogadishu. No amount of wishful thinking on your side is going to make that happen. Shariif isn't a snake. The people who wish him ill are.

May they succeed in life and inherit a land which isn't destroyed.

I believe in evolution and all that other stuff, but I also believe someone must have started all of it.
