Funny how these things have a ring of falseness to them...I don't think a process like this is fair to anyone. Particularly when I want the other tribes to pay their share of crimes and abuses, calling them criminals and thugs while am trying to protect my JIFO, calling my Criminal Uncle a saint...Hypocrisy...and I can’t take that BS from anyone… If you are decent enough to be fair about this, let's do this together, and I propose: bring your criminal uncle and I will definitely bring mine...put him b4 the law, allow him to b judged, and condemned...and then and only then we can move forward together… If not, hear this, I’m telling that my Criminal Uncle is a saint too...and no one can call him, or condemn him about what ur uncle had started in the first place

The contrast between the Western culture and ours come immidiately to my mind... Right across the apts i live there is a senior citizen housing where offsprings dump their parents in order to avoid them...subhanallah...

(Sittin’ On) the dock of the bay – Otis Redding Really? Used to b crazy about that song one time and still can't get enough of it...but if u like those kind of lyrics try Constant Sorrow from the soundtrack of O Brother! Where Art Thou?

Truly sad that the rich and the powerful are taking advantages of the poor.... I was recently reading somewhere that an Italian company signed a contract with the Energy Dept. here in the U.S to take care of tens of tons of nuclear wastes... I wondered then where they would dump all that horrible stuff...but now I know that our playgrounds are the likely candidates for those urinium leftovers...Rich man's landfills I guess

What if that needed reading beyond the lines???

I think the bottom line is that there is a powerful force, a supreme being, a divine entity, behind all of this. Wether there is a signature on it or not is totally irrelevent...Subhanallah

Arabs v. Dark skinned pple; Rebels vs. Government; Jadwiyeen vs. Indeginous pple; Renegade Militia vs. a proxy army; call it whatever u want but to me this is that Darwenian phrase "survival of the fittest" at its best.

This is an extremely serious issue Walaal; And these new arrivals (Somalis) are all over the place helpless...and of course unlike so many of us who have a family member or two prior to our arrival here, they have none except the agencies who dumped them here...And we all know how much these agencies can do for Somali Refugees...Very little of course. Their most common answer: "We get our hands full and we don't have the resources right now for every one." It is so sad, really to c some of them even go without food for days simply because they have never been given the chance and the time they needed to learn how to use the system; they have the vouchers and debit cards with them but have no clue, no idea at all that the plastic cards in their pockets can feed them all. Some have never even seen, in their entire lives, a U.S. dollar and thus can't differentiate the different US notes. I mean the basic things such as gettin power in their houses, crossing the street, or paying their electrical and rental bills is just such a formidable task for them...Some one told me that, a week or so ago, a couple died in Greensbro, ND while crossin the free way on foot in the middle of the night...I mean how sad!!!probably on their way to pick up some food from the grocery store for their children... if u guys have suggestions, any sort of input of how to help our brothers and sisters and better their lives and solve and ease their burden please share with us...So glad to hear from u all, and thanks for posting this thread; the most serious issue ever I came across in SOL

I could not agree more with you guys (Simply and G Tuujiye) , thank u guys for taking a stand against that post... Guardian, u shouldn't really b talking to people like that...TRANSPASSING and shattering their natural rights to inform their "ignorant" but always humble and honest views… Mind me though, u still have the right to delete what u deem to b inappropriate but I hope u will b more discreet about your way of informing us what's and what's not ur standards in SOL...

And all in the middle of the final days of Ramadan...Here Allawi says Ciida, ciida ciid wanaagsan ciida...with chemicals in the dust everywhere

F F: Ma waalantahey adi mise waa miyir qabtaa? Acuudu Bilah! We got those from the QURAN and the PROPHET'S SUNNAH! Hodi; Hodi majirto miyaa? sidee wax loo wadaa? and lookin posts from different angles and in context? or is this ur way of taking a cheap shot on The SHARIF....

It's sad, really sad..it hurts u know when i c boys and girls who speak the same way the anchors and the gurus on Fox and CNN speak to us here in this part of the world; unable of course to come up with their own grove...Imitating, copyin and pastin sentences word by word...Tolerance, Homegenous, diversity, equal rights, American Dream, terrorism, Loving god. "This is how we c and this is how u'll c it"...No readin between n beyond the lines..Minds wasted..Robotic generations who lack the sense to distinguish right from wrong...It is really painful to c u guys using those phony words from the Media outlets and the mahogany desks of Peter Jennings, and his collegues.. DIVERSITY my @@###%$$ Tolerance; Tell that to the cronies in Holland and France and Germany and the US who ordered the annihalition of Poor Bosnian villages...Who each yr supply tens of tons of ammunition to the thugs and the warlords of the world... a mind is a terrible thing if it only immitates...Observe the emotional words they use in the 5 o'clock news: Endorse; respect and reject...Reject them all

It's all relative isn't it? I grew up Hamar and grooved to jamz by Sulfa and Jeri ..and b4 them I had been baptized by the likes of Ahmed Naji, Aways Khamis, F. Qasim, Ahmed Rabsha, and jammed on Aw geedi Shambow and Diiq Maxaaz Yiri and later on got injected with the soothin sounds of Aisha Abdow Malika, Ahmadey Abubakar and occassionaly allowed Buunis and Luul Jaylani to b among the core...I mean it all depends on ur up-bringing right?...Flip the same coin, and say U were born and raised in Ga'an Libah...would u b diggin then, rocking to Aways Khamis & Madina Abdi Ali...???Naaaaah, I dont think so.. Mooge and Mooge and GAcayte and liilaloow, would b ur thing...right?

yeah man totally..Its never enough. Once cards r flipped the game is over...u either lose the hand or win double...No one can b that scared..its all like the wild wild west..slinger shot..I'm like give me a break...20yrs laters in a dinky doughnut shop in Ohio...I'm sensin things u know..two days ago and a 3 1/2 floppy disk no title, zoom it man...It took me a long while to figure things out but I got no cash now..It will b the same though for everyone else too..pick ur brains out..I couldn't care less

Ilcapo, I can't appreciate enough for the mere fact that u did not put me in the company of women beaters, bullies, taxidrivers, pretenders, tribe defenders, nation bashin groups, all those junkies u have so neatly woven into Ilcapo's fantasy tale of a party that I have so many times rejected to attend. Why? Because, as u said, I was mendin and healin this broken, shattered, dumped, sliced, lonely heart of mine.. Still sulkin by the way

Il Capo; good riddence...am thinkin of two years from now when u come back to this site, to this thread and read ur postings... U should really b needing to light a lot of ganjas then ...But that's not to say that I did not enjoy them all...simply hopin that u won't let it out of control by addin and addin and addin to it, as i am sensin it...

Come on guys; did they ever ask themselves, these Gaalo; I mean they r always talking about Muslims being intolerent right?, why was he insulting Islam in the first place? if they are so tolerent why did they have to defame, vilify, slander, and go and spend millions of their money to fabricate hours and hours of lies; That must b his way of killin me right? He is poking me in the eye; how is that tolerent; give me a break pal; Van Gonh must'D bEeN lacking tolerance; I think he should b the one on the spot RIGHT NOW and condemned; I mean I have never seen a Muslim takin up on Christianiy and defamin it like THAT; we respect about their religion; WHY SHUOLDN'T THEY? they r saying he was expressing his artistic vision; ok if that’s how you wanna play it; so be it; It takes two to tango; then let the Moroccan guy express his artistic vision on his ****

Sitting here reading all these threads, and picking and choosing and in same cases, copying n pasting my favorites from the collection, I am amazed about the tens of sincere emotions being displayed in here, for example some of my good friends posted these remarks: I’m fascinated by Giraffes, why are they so gorgeous. But what if I wasn't born a muslim? If I had tried to read the Quran, would I believe it to be the true religion?...... Is the truth really out there? And if so, does it float around till someone catches it? Just popped up in my head now-VEGANS(vegetarians)must be consuming a lot of afrodisiaks wow! Viagra, how does it works? Why doesnt Tarzan have a beard? Why can't we win medals for things that make us who we are? (we are exceptional at) is there hell or heaven!!lol......and if so why can’t get a demo or preview one time!! just so can stop thinking about it!!! But what I wonder most is about the huge gap between my Nomad friends here and those still back home...Thinking to myself as I read these; what will someone in Somalia right now who's never been to the west will make out of these random thoughts by us, will they think of us as a bunch of sophisticated scholars who grasped life by the horns and defined it, or on the same page, I wonder if they will think of us as bunch of kids who are gone stray from the real grown up life and thoughts, I wonder if they will go to the mosques, call their neighbors and ask them to pray for us for guidance and wisdom...Couldn't help but still wonder what they'll post in here as their random thoughts...will they say the stuff we r saying or will they have a different perspective about life, one that is more real and practical... All of course being relative..

lol Good luck

It is not about points, scores kept but driving habits...women overall tend to have the worst drivin behavoiurs despite their perfect record tracks...Plus the cell phones are making things worse...women please dont talk on the phone while driving...it complicates things more..

Could somebody enlighten me; what's the difference between annexation and controllin by proxy for as long as I've my ways with u? An oxymoron if u ask me

I did not read the whole story, but this guy must b a blood relative of the liberator of the Iraqi kids Mr George Allawi Bush...Bush said he has a plan and a coalition of willin to convert animals, trees, even the oil fields of the world into christianity...It is good for us though, we may have a time to breath while they r doin their conversion duties in the animal kingdom.

Plus did u notice that every single one of them is driving a brand new car, ten times more power horse than your old jalopy, thus can't outmaneuver them...Don’t never ever expect from her to give u a break on the road, don't ever expect her to speed up when u need her to or expect her to slow down when she has to; don't expect her to respect your turn signal; I mean I had it with women drivers...Why don’t they all take the bus instead of putting us all in danger....

Not only are they the worst but have the worst sense of directions....don't expect women to help u with ur direction while driving...if u lost, keep going u will correct urself before she figures out where u are at...Say if u r in Jawhar and wanna go to KismayU, and wait directions from a sister, u will most likely (99%), find urself in Qandala...

angry thoughts, rage, and inner deep rage, the kinda of rage that makes u intimidate other drivers on the motorway, rage that has no equal.. Not like an irritation or resentment that's absolutely nothing, but I get a real rage, fury, wrath feelin...I gotta judge me today, I have to...Can't continue on like this..am actually thinkin like that other guy to do something drastic, something, anything to avoid this internal rage that is takin over me, I may slash something, cut my own wrist perhaps and let this rage out of my system before it sharpens its roots deep within me...cut my wrist, slit something, am thinkin about an essential change of life style...within my borders..
