Aaliyah416 says, I think Somalis in general both women and men need to learn how to parent. Somalis do know how to parent, and our parents have raised us to the best of their abilities. Their system of parenting worked well for the country, the culture , and people it was meant for. And for most part,children that grew under that system did turn to be well adjusted adults. What parents in the diasparo failed to understand is that we no longer live in Somalia. One has to adjust to reflect the new realities facing our society. Old methods won't work here in the west, new ones have to be deviced to better accomadate our kids, and raise them as responsible and viable beings. I guess one could say, we are still adjusting.

gacanteyda aroosay...lol That reminds of Seinfeld episode.

Reading a couple of your articles, you seemed more concerned with the legality of the bills that tramples on people's constitutional rights. I thought you were constitutional lawyer in training. Besides, most politians are lawyers in this country.

Seeker....Are you law student? None of elected officials actually know what's in bills that signed on. The congress is useless body.

^^^^I think Sheh would wanna it too Angle101....I would say nobody. I haven't pissed someone yet, not atleast to that point. Che was my original SOL ID.I guess i liked it better than yoyo

Originally posted by NGONGE: These days death seems to be making a comeback. It’s everywhere! Or maybe I’m getting old and my antenna is more attuned to such subjects! I can’t even hear properly these days (did you do the sound test I posted?). I did the test, and Iam sad to announce NGONGE is getting old. Time is catching up with him. Maybe that's your antenna is little more attuned to the subject of death, and dam the news on tv doesn't help either. Apparently, somewhere between 50 to 100 Iraqis die per day. And 50 South Africans die every day of violent crimes, horrifying statistics for country at peace. No more news for me at least for while.

I might be wrong, but I believe alot of marriages end in failure simply due to the lack of thinking that goes into day after. Hopefully in time, people will learn to adjust and prioritize.

Originally posted by Cambarro: I had very simple wedding and so did my brother. In fact only 10people attended. I recall one of my aunts saying " Alle ba'aayey ninka wey jeceshahay, naa ninka ayaa wax walba bixiyee, keep your money". This was after they suggested that i have the wedding at Hilton! It was most satisfying and problem-free wedding we had in our big family and lovely honeymoon in Portugal followed. Very satisfying indeed, Somali weddings are never hassle free, but congrats walaal.Iam glad you didn't burden yourself by going into debt with 20K wedding. It seems our people don't think or plan beyond the wedding night and...finally never go to bed angry An excellent advise. I can't be next to person Iam angry at.

I will bet on Paragon coming on top.

^^^Pretty much as far as I know. Didn't like him actually, felt little relieved at first but then felt at my reaction to his demise.

Have you been to Qardho lately.

Originally posted by Dabshid: this should be posted at political section, as warning.. LoooL...I could see Horn tracking down Xiin

My neighbor died last nite

they're straight out of Qardho. What's wrong with Qardho -Ayoub Redsea....I think it is safe to say that almost anyone in SOL can't engage in debate about our history without interjecting thier own biases into argument. That's why it is better we leave to people with more objective mind.

"Hunt a jew"...lol freaking redneck funny, but I will pass. predictable bunchlines

Depressing Indeed. I fail to see what will this do for the future generations. It is self-indulgence on massive scale.

Magaalao joog xumadu aad bay idiinku badan tahay saaxiib…maxaa aritaa ka jira? LooooL....Saaxib, I personally like village life, and Reer koonfer for most part are farmers that live in small villages. So, maba diidanin inaan badankaynu naha reer tuulo oo beerahooda iska fasha. laakin saaxib waxaa naga sii daran xoolo dhaqato. In the human evolutionary ladder, beeralay waaka ilbax santay geeljire. Marka Saaxib, adoo hada Hawd ka yimid oo logahaaga boorkii wali ku yaalo inaad wax iga sheegtid gardaro ma ahow. Bal reer magaalinimo idinkaa idiin dayne, waxaad ka hishiin wax ha nagasiinina. In meantime ma ahow, tuuladeena iska joognaa while we wait geeljire to deliver their livestocks to Bososo, and XamarCadeey. Redsea...Saaxib, Ima fahmin, I didn't mean to bother you with my family tree, laakin reer waqooyi waxaad nooga dhigtay dad qalaad, the point of my post was to convey Soomaali waa istaqaan, way isla dhashayn, waa isdhaleen, and waana is dhex dagaan.Unless ninyahow aa Soomaali ka baxdeen claiming to be reer Haashim as our friend Sharif seylac like to remind us every time, in which case waaxaa indinka codsaneynaa inaad macamus, bakoorada, afar jeeblaha, and koofida abtidoon soo celisiin, hadii kale ma ahow, lets continue with our little chatter but without Redsea's crush course on reer waqooyi kaftan and ways. ME...Walaal, Lets leave history to historians, and as for who won and lost, well the four of us here are all in some foriegn with no prospect returning to our country or countries, that alone should tell us something.

Redsea-Saaxib meelkale ka buskacisa. Forumkaan raga furtaa iska leh. Somalilane walaa reer koonfur bee kala jeclayn. Aniguse waxaan ku qoslaaye jaylaani moderators waa baised buu yiri...meaning reer walaweyn meesha camiratey. Madekale, saaxib waa adiga Qaldaanka ku hayee, anigu reer Xamar waan ahe laakin I spend good many years in Buhoodle (unless Pland de-qaldaanized the place) where half of family is from. So bro, good many of us southerners know do know well our northern brethen. I like qararac reer mudug better since I don't know them all that well.

LoooL...Duke naga qaleey saaxib. Mass defection everywhere. I admire your dedication.

Originally posted by Jaylaani: Moderators here are bias LooL...Well they all happen to be from Somalia. Maybe you will find more receptive ears in Somaliland sites. Waryaa..ME soon waaye dadkaan hadabaanjin.

A/calaykum Salaam,Aaliyah416- Walaal Horta let me say all isku mid ma aha laakin badankood markay ku arkaan ee gartaan that Iam Somali. Something comes over them. Dadka nindhahooda waa isku dhacaan in public places.And you usually look once , and politely look away, laakin Somalida waxaa ku soo daga. The presence of another Somali makes little uncomfortable or more conscious. Iam like maxaa isku waaleey.isdaji, and go about your business. I hate specially the ones that stare and say nothing. I had a lot Ethios stare at me, but they would usually come upto me , and ask me if Iam Xabashi. I would say no, and that would be the end of it. If it is older Somali person that's staring at me, I usually strike up conversation with them.

^^Iam guessing anybody that ain't from his Qabiil.

Originally posted by Jamilah: LOL. Your brother must be U-G-L-Y I mean thats the only logical explanation. [/QB] Ugly..No, I wish that was the case, then atleast her reaction would have made some sense. We figure it must have been that time of the month, but I don't think even that would explain this woman's behavior. Murefu...Waa loo aamusaa. Nindhee maanta dhan wareejiyaan. The Somalis in general that I meet on trains are all funny. Some stare at you, others look everywhere but you.

Originally posted by Baashi: My tribe in general and my clan in particular and its elders seem to be losing their sanity. Very sad to report but the intrigue and poltical calculation of Cadde and Inna Yussuf is no more. Greed and obssessive and irrational fixation of winning the power through proxy nations is all that left in their game. [/QB] Tanug You Baashi.Finally a sane Plander that realises the course the leadership has taken is one that leads to certain oblivion. We have been outsmarted, outgunned, and almost reduced to the status of bystander. We need to get rid of ourselves the corrupt warmongers. This is price one pays for choosing career killers over educated men.
