It never has the negative connotation the West perceives. There is nothing fancy about 'fiancé'--he is either your husband or not. Nothing between.

Salaan... Originally posted by Princess_Sexy: ....everyone knows that the SARS case were discovered in ASIA...so for anyone to say that it was created by the U.S......my goodness....and this comment... SARS, yes, was found in Aasiya, but the thing is anyone could have brought the disease down there. Whether U.S. created this whole thing to suppress and curb the attention from the heat of the war or not, there is some fishy and odd thought out there about how the Americans handled it. Canadian officials when they learned that Canada has had the same probable or suspect SARS cases as of U.S., they quickly got suspicious. To date, 37 people died from this new virus in Canada, all within Greater Toronto Area. In America, we have yet to see one die as the result of this virus. And all of those flights--more than those that arrive in Toronto daily--from mainland Asia were coming through Los Angeles and the Bay Area, and still see that America needed not to wrestle and not affected the way the virus knocked out Canada, the fishy thought then holds still. And compared to Canada's just 33 million people to the enormous 280 million people of American citizens, the skepticism gets even more interestingly doubtful. And the outbreak happened in Toronto, not in Vancouver, Canada's main gateway to Pacific Asia, where most Asian flights land before they continue their journey's transit. America either loosened this new virus in Asia or suppressed the total American deaths, in fear of the anxious American public. It is impossible not that a single American had not died from this disease. _______________ It will be even worse if he returns to office for a second term.

Salaan... Entre., duqa, have you ever seen any 'real' faarax recently? Conjure up your mind, and reflect as far back as you can. What do they--all those faaraxis you had 'seen' or met--have in common? I am sure they have had something you hadn't figured out yet, and that peculiar pattern they have in common is, as what we Ciyaal Xaafada used to call, maraxnimo. Or plainly put: Reer Baadinimo. I know, I know, all faaraxis, hold your fire. It is a stereotype that fits--umm...err...well--perfectly. And to extent jaamacis are included too. Some jaamacis do seem like that too. And unless you're named either faarax or jaamac, you won't take any offense regarding my description, will you? Regarding the xaliimo situation, it is a bit different and complicated. I for one use caasho, instead of xaliimo, because caasho is much older and familiar. Both are used because those two names are old names, considering the historical analysis of Soomaali feminine names. Caasho and xaliimo names had faded in the 70s, 80s, and you would have rarely seen a young girl named either these two names in these two decades, but one name had came back and exploded in the 90s and now, for slightly changing to 'Caa'isha,' instead from the typical caasho. So, the idea behind xaliimo came from there--just simply being associated with an old name, and thus you being 'outdated' as well. And then there is a third explanation; the name 'faarax' and 'jaamac' is associated with some regions in Soomaaliya. These regions got a huge male population named either after faarax or jaamac. For political correctness, I won't mention these regions. ________________ Macsalaama!!

Salaan... I am looking forward to abandoning the ICELANDAIR box for the more lexurious Emirates "suites" Kikikikiki... What? That IcelandAir exists? Kamoon maan. So, if it is exists, is it better than Alitalia or Aeroflot, the two cheapest and trashiest airlines in Yurub? P.S., Libaax, I am telling you, if you ever get a chance, always use Emirates as much as you can. They have a superb hosteesyaal, and not to mention the airline itself. Unlike the crappy, ageing stewardesses from most other Western airlines. ________________ Macsalaama!!
