^ But we're fortunate to have you here to teach us good Xiin. Indeed we are.

Can we appeal to our beloved warlords to actually shoot these innocent men, women and children who are sure to die of hunger and thirst? You know, take them out of their misery. God forbid a warlord would ever die of starvation!. Would calling it mercy killing be too insensitive? Must these people die or can this be averted? Shall we pray for their forgiveness and place in Jannah already or shall we wait a bit longer? If it's inevitable and no one can do anything about it, why not pray for the living as if they were dead? Ilaahayo dadkayaga halkan iyo halkaasba sidan u dhaam.

I had so much anger and frustration at the Colts from 3 weeks ago that only now can I even speak of it. What in God's good name happened? The Steelers came and they treated everyone like 2nd graders dressed in pink overalls. After molesting the Bengals, abusing the Colts (my team no more) and b!tch-slapping the Broncos, I've no doubt the Seahawks will be mere unappetizing skinny chicken wings for the mighty Steelers and their long-haired Samoan monster Palumalo. I don't care who wins but I'm afraid someone in Seahawks uniform might actually die on the field with this Steeler defence.

^ The last thing they need, good Viking, are injuries in an African cup (a meaningless year no less) when they (the players) have a chance to shine on the world stage in 5-6 months and potentially earn millions in professional European leagues. If I were them, I'd show up on the fields in Cairo in my pyjamas.

^ Was this your inspiration? Indeed a contemporary and relevant twist to an old favorite tale. I could still hear Elmi's cough, see Abdi's satisfied grin and feel Hothan's confusion. I hardly ever think of a love story when I read about death, disease and destruction. But that's what being a talentless schmuck is all about.

All the leaves are brown and the sky is gray I've been for a walk on a winter's day I'd be safe and warm if I [read Ngonge's tale] California dreamin' on such a winter's day Thank you saaxib.

Causes of Somalia's impending famine: 1) Drought (natural) 2) War (man made) 3) Food aid not reaching those in need due to piracy (man made) 4) Apathy and indifference of rest of Somalis (man made) Donate to the WFP here. Just $15 (or its equivalent) from each member of this site is $100,000. That is a lot of food, people. Help clear your conscience folks by helping your brethren. Also thank the American 5th fleet for capturing some spineless pirates this weekend. With kinsmen like these, who needs a bloody enemy? Did the "honorable" president of Somalia say or do anything about this? Oh Allah, how long must we suffer the indignity of vegetables and crooks as leaders?

^ This president, like the one of the TFG, is possibly high on illicit narcotics. China would be a great 'protector' of Somalia in the 21st century. I mentioned this before and I stand by that earlier statement. The resurrection of Somalia won't be done by a stable government and EU/US handouts alone. We need a full make over and only China has the finances, manpower and the interest to make it happen. I seriously wouldn't mind living in New Beijing or New Shanghai. At least these guys won't come with bibles in their hands. Remember what Kenyatta said not too long ago: "When the missionaries came, they had the Bible and we had the land. They said, `Let us pray.' We closed our eyes. When we opened them, we had the Bible, and they had the land." P.S. I'm not too sure Tibet is a shining example of a Chinese protectorate. It's actually a pretty bad example.

Originally posted by presidentofsomalia: When we reach that stage Would you say it will happen in this century? The TFG, like the TNG, is on its way out to sea. It's a government with no country and will die off as those that came before it did. Sad, yes, but realistic and likely will be how things unfold. I personally look forward to the next government in exile (on hold, in captivity, occupied, under siege, however you want to label it). I suggest a new name for them. TXG. Let's drop the transitional part. No more transition into rubbish. TXG stands for The eXtraordinary Government. Not a transitional government but one that is here to stay. It won't worry about who split, seceded or packed up and moved. It should just rally those who remain under one flag. Forget lands given away , or lost, to Kenya and Ethiopia. Forget Somaliland and even Puntland. Just get Muqdisho stable and safe. Make it a one-city state. See how many people decide to stay or even join that city-state. Let people do the voting with their feet. The Humpty Dumpty, that was Somalia, whom everyone is desperately trying to put back together, can't be put back together. There's just too many missing and permanently destroyed pieces. Humpty is irreparably cut off from Dumpty as we knew it. Let's be creative and come up with other identities for Humpty that may not be suitable for Dumpty.

Sleeping around is really an individual's character and personality flaw. What is far more important and pressing, as you mentioned Blessed, are the massive number of children herded into prostitution every year. The trafficking of humans for the sex industry. The use of rape as a weapon of war. The death and destruction reaped from sexually transmitted diseases. That's sexual terrorism (though this is the first time I hear the term). And unfortunately, it is mainly, if not exclusively, perpetrated by men as they are the obvious beneficiaries. The numbers of children and young women forced into prostitution are staggering and are on the rise. The number of HIV/AIDS infections and death are also staggering and on the rise among those already most vulnerable. This is one type of terrorism that could really do with a war against it.

^ Masha Allah, you haven't changed good Ngonge. You are as limpid and as arrogant as ever. Good to have you back ninyahow. That time off has done nothing to humble or dumb you down.

^ The neo-cons that own and run this site.

^ Good and Blessed, I'm sure you will agree that for men to sleep around, they must be doing it with women. At some point, pure probability here, it is likely that at least one woman who is being slept-around with is, herself, sleeping around. The ratio is certainly not one to one, I must admit. The stakes are much higher for one gender compared to the other.

^ You ain't got to tell me what I missed. I'd imagined it so much I thought it was real in my head. What an experience it must have been? But being a kid is a trip anywhere. I had a good time growing up. The locale really matters little. As long as you're in a loving home and good food to eat, a kid is happy being a kid.

Nothing as colorful or flexible as what we had in Somalia. I'm gonna get similar clothes as they had for uniform and take pictures of my kids with them. I'd just look foolish if I wore them myself now.
