LOL funny - loved the one about Hamdi - I am so guilty of that hehhehe

^ watch it a bit more closely - there are no vampires roaming in the daylight - True Blood actually stays true to vampire lore (can't eat or drink anything but blood, no daylight, cold to the touch, burns with silver contact) ----- maybe you were watching Vampire Diaries??

Urban - trust me. True Blood is a great show - it's completely different from Dexter but, equally good. The first season is a bit slow - but stick through it. The second season is AMAZING. yea - i do miss sgt doakes, next season better be amazing - although i liked this season, i thought the start was a bit slow - he should have killed of trinity faster ! Yea he had some sort of treatable cancer - was watching the SAG awards last night - he won !!!

Ps. Anyone into True Blood?!

Hey guys ! Urban I know that was a great season. I can't believe that you know who is dead ( don't want to spoil i for others)

LOL ruled by an Iron Fist? Um no - with some level of oversight - which is anyway done - yes - in my opinion the topic is just ... inappropriate. Runs against the moral fabric of this lovely site (moral fabric as I see it heh or imagine it).

I stand by earlier comment, you must be very young. Your writing reminds me of all those MSN chats in highschool lol. Give us a hint - what's your next topic ? Something groundbreaking .... Cara - lol - funny

This was a great topic. I really hope she found someone or feels alittle better about her prospects.

Are you seeking advise or promoting your ability to purchase expensive gadgets??

True the forum has changed over last ten years or so, but that's to be expected - with a lot of wonderful and entertaining discussions for not active particpants like myself. But at the same time there seems to be alot of trivial posts by the same people - that take alot of space and regurgitate same oneliner responses. Personally I find any topics promoting some dusty town in Somalia with random pictures of the same old villa to be the most annoying !!!! Anyway. this one is a true example of delete worthy topics. no offence to the poster.

wow.......... where are all the sheikh's? I might be a bit conservative - but this topic should be deleted or atleast some of the above posts should be deleted ! Seriously people - tooo juvenile.

I second Cynical - Sacad that's the most ignorant thing to say. Think about what you just said for a moment longer. Did all those orphans really ask for it?

lol ^ I know that. I am just kidding. Somali Jobs sounded peculiar. edit - Curly lol, I guess my sarcasm didn't come off. I am better in person - my dry wit is excellent.

Its so horrible. I know this is totally irrational, but after all these natural diasters - Haiti should just be evacuated and all of them should move to Manitoba - Allah only knows we have too much land !

um what is a Somali Job? Do we have our own secret industry?

to add ^ to my comment - New partners - mom's boyfriend, stepfather are also common.

Mz-alpha, I read your post - no jokes you did touch a nerve lol. Sweeping statements like the ones you presented about women, education and work are my biggest pet peeve 1 - Although one should learn about their Deen - we should also be engaged in the Dunya - hence getting an education for your own betterment and security 2 - All women who work don't "throw" their children at daycares nor leave their husbands without "food" I grew up with women who worked a standard 9-5 job, maintained a home and brought children who are successful. After all marriage is a partnership! 3 - If you want to stay home for YOUR children that's cool - that's your decision. 4 - Your comment on most childminders being sexual predators - that's jokes most cases of sexual abuse, takes place within the family - Father, Grandfather, Family friends etc

Peacenow - god your depressing - the thing that hurt you most is the fact he brought the attention of the swiss on you ! - the only thing you can do now is ensure any of your future offsprings are not misjudged for Somalis. Let the suffering end with you !

GOD ! why did your title need a "BUT" there are no "BUT's". you must be very young or simply faking it. lol just read the comment's above - hehe. well it does sound like an advert people do really get married to men/women they meet online - how odd

welcome welcome - ^ agreed some threads move faster than others

LOL @ big spoon thing loool Its called a Shovel - befriend it. Sometimes shoveling snow is not that bad - on a nice Saturday morning listening to your ipod - shoveling some new powder - head home to a cup of hot chocolate and back to a longer nap.

Ah guys what memories of Pre - Dish and Post Dish cartoons Before the days of the Dish it was all about Lady, Captain Majid. Afterwards, it was Johnny Bravo, Batman and Robin, Tin Tin ! and Naxar Nugaaleed what's the name of that cartoon with the Gargoyles !???!

Um - Lucky us then those born in the West/Arabs - nothing remotely Somali on our papers. But who knows they might start measuring our foreheads.

^ Thank you. Will do so.

The Alchemist is a RUBBISH book. It's so hard to make one of these lists up. But I really want to delve into the world of African American writers specially during the Civil Rights Era. I have already read Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison. Any suggestions ?
