As teenager, i never cared about the somali langauge or my grasp of the somali. I only begin to appreciatate it as i grew older. It is indeed a very rich language. It is very expressive langauge. I hope nomads will take notice and learn their heritage.

OG-Moti.....Nice posters....Interesting Could make a poster with Che-Geuvara and his leftist revolutionary gang.

Muraad....Death sometimes looks tempting. Indeed that's we all are heading sooner or later! Runaway.Virgin...I didn't mean to be pessimistic walaal.Death is only thing Iam sure will come to me one day.

Don't preach HATE Walaal. Ethopian citizens ain't bad but i have problem with Ethopian State with its never dying imperialistic ambitions.

Lewiston is old decaying town populated by aging white population who are used to segregated America.Diversity is threat to their perception of the american dream. Somalis are no different from any immigrant that came to America. N like all immigrants before us, we will face bigots just like Catholics like the Irish n Italians, the Jews and blacks did. We will just have to prove them wrong.

I will be dead.....!

Thankx for your input guys. Mahadi...Iam sure when it comes to individuals bases , alot of somalis have done well in their lifes. But it is fair as community we have failed terribly. I hope something good comes out of current day somalia before we go extinct.

I think something along these lines might have been already debated.Back to your topic, I feel your frustration bro. Initiating a relationship with a fellow somali can be diffucult at times. From guy's perspective,i used to think endless mind games is all somali girls do....but i learned to hang in there a little longer and real honest thingz eventually come pouring out!.

Lets look from guys(brother) perspective....My homy and my Sista......thats bad mix...first rule of my gang's unwritten law.."Dont mess with any female relative of any member of the gang regardless of what yu have for her or the vice-verse".Period!!!!!

I was in my fifth grade(ciyaal dhar Jaale) at Yaasin Cusman near the mogadisho's tomb of the unknown soldier.My school principal was woman with distinct name....I wonder if anyone in here that went to yaasin cusman remember her?. later

Nasra...why do yu send a sista to such self-degrading place.The beauty pegeant is even being rejected by a lot of westerners. N plz leave our cousins from da north alone. As someone from south, i wish the folks from up north peace n success even if they withdraw from the union!

Jeenyo...It is true we haven't done anything constructive in the last decade. We left our faith in the hands of few murderous men. But i think people are war weary specially those in somalia and they merely looking a right leadership to guide out of this havoc. Unfortunetely no one stands out right now and every somali's attitude become "what could one person do".

maybe now somalis would understand that we have no one else rely on but ourselves. Arabs and Africans don't give crap what happens to us.We all get is ourselves. N we better shape up before it is too late.

As long as she is a nomad and we understand each other....It is cool....Just a little confession, iam somehow more attracted northern chicks.I don't know why?

SHYEM...Thankx Bro...Iam glad we are in agreement. N HAPPY CIID MUBARIK EVERYONE.

Walaal....I know there are lot of boys and girls who caught in HipHop culture and imimate BET and MTV rap video.I have seen boys getting lost into drugs and "thuglife"(wat ever dat means)....and gals being terrible used by black males and others.....Unfortunetaly somali communities turn their backs on these kids instead helping them and making them understand that there is no future in this....We somalis are failing simply coz each one of us is turning away and saying "What could one person do". It is sad to see young men and women referring to themselves as NIGGAZ N HOES.

Nomad-Fella...I think the reason why we don't see commited somali leader is that civil war and mistrust created by tribalism destroyed the very fabric of our society. Observer.....Yes indeed this is good time for Meles Junta but Ethopia is also faced with alot challenges.It doesn't want to see central goverment in Somalia but continouis unrest in Somalia could also threaten it's stability given the facts it is very poor, composed of multiple nations that want to seccede and it's army is falling apart due to high AIDS infection rate among its ranks.

Thankx guys for your input! Shyem....Well bro You are right,you only heard muy part of the story and you don't have to take my word for it...I guess you could choose to believe me or not....But whole point of the discussion is about somalis who do anything to avoid fellow somalis and trash peopel and on top that does nothing to relieve the sufferings or the ignorance of their countrymen....I can understand their frustratioms but there is limit to everything and i don't think they shouldn't be given a free pass to say everything they feel like....and There is no any "BUSH DOCTRINE" here, Iam stating if you ain't part of the solution, simply get out of the way and keep your pessimism to yourself.

LOooooooooool....that was funny....i liked the last two ones. Fella......Look bro,If you buy into the idea that being guy is difficult, it will than be really difficult....I know there are some crazy feminists(we called them Chicks with dicks here in NY) that wear you out...They are ones that said their education and independence threatens men :confused: ...Leave those alone...They are good educated women who will do part and be good patner.

This is funny piece...lol But i gotta disagree with you bro.As male, my life couldn't be any better.True things get little difficult as more women get into the position of power and the male donimated fields.It is all about the money and men might feeling irrevelent as more women are financially independent.

Honest-Sista....Having a baby by 24....lol Call me....maybe we could help each other....lol Just kidding walaal. Well....Time waits for nobody....and yes our boigical clock is ticking on.....I will be hitting 24 by next may....I can't believe iam going into my mid twenties.

Mahadi....I do agree....fear of somalinisation of the entire horn by somalis drives the policies of the ethopian state....The state plays the christian card to get military aid from the west....I think the reality is without solving the somali problem the horn won't see peace...For the ethopian state... the liberation of somaligalbeed and possibly greater somalia could mean the dismantling of the empire and the seccesion of the all Cush nations in ethopia!

Illmatic...I think he is the prof from MN, Iam not sure if he did any research! Jaalut....I don't have the text of the lecture..i was hoping someone would find it!
