^ As long as it's not missing teeth, it's cool I guess. I regret never attending school in Somalia. I so envied the kids in blue shorts and white shirts. Then the dharjaale. Oh what I would do for even a semester of that.

Good JB, don't let the "ad hominators" detract you from justifying the "dark and narrow path" statement. It will probably not be accepted but at least you'll be somewhat justified in using it. If not, retract it saaxib. I know you're capable of doing both. Pick one or the other.

^ By challenging the postive assertion, good Xiin. Not by calling him a broken man. He's likely to resent that label (as he should) and not answer the question: What is the "dark and narrow path", good JB?

^ I can't think of a better thing to happen on SOL today than NGONGE returning. Ah, it is indeed a good Friday. [Edited] And from your high (life guard) chair, good Ngonge, would you say (not?) comprehending the rules: A) has made them easier to abide by, or B) would deter anyone from breaking them. I personally read the rules back in 2005. I don't remember a single one of them. But if I'm told I broke one, it would be nice to know under which statute I'm being indicted. And it has to exactly fit the crime in question. Juma's words were a clear and unambiguous violation of SOL rules, common sense and decency, and Allah's commandments.

This is indeed the calm before the storm.

^ There's absolutely no evidence whatsoever (that I know of) tea has anything to do with Bartholin secretions. None. Nada. Zip. The urge to prevent women from drinking tea was probably either economical or misogynistic in nature.

^ Callypso is not coming from the same angle you and I are looking at it from. His is strictly a secular analysis of the situation. And yes, makes sense atheer. When have you not made any sense?

Aw-Faarax, atheer, you're preaching to the choir. The issue is not loving or hating it, not even accepting it, but one of understanding that "freedoms" afforded to us by the societies we live in, such as religion, the right to assemble, speech and so forth, also afford these nut-cases the same right to do the choo-choo train in bed. Make sense?

^ You're a baaaaad man. Originally posted by Northerner: Does this make you a hypocrite (for supporting liberalism)? Where do you draw the line? A better example of hypocrisy is the appeal made to liberal societies to accept immigrants with all their luggage (literally) and then turning around and judging these same societies with our own ideologies. On the other hand, France is just plain wrong about the hijab. Call it bigotry, if you will, that allowed this to happen.

^ Indeed. Are you jealous, by any chance?

^ Ah, how could I forget? You quoted one of my favorite books. In it, Barash (and his wife) write a wonderfully entertaining eye-opener on what makes the world go round: sex.

^ Understood. I'd say prostitution is one thing that is worse than spouse-swapping. But self expression, you say? That's tough to swallow ninyahow. I suppose as long as I don't have to see them, hear them or be around them, they could include their pets in that orgy for all I care. It is still repulsive behavior though.

^ Hold on there, good Callypso. You know I'm as liberal as they come atheer, but wife-swapping (or even husband swapping) is an abomination ninyahow. There's really no philosophizing this. It's deviance at its lowest level were excitement and immediate sexual gratification are the only considerations. What about the children to such wife-swapping household? What kind of message is being sent to them? Imagine Faarax and Xalimo meeting up with Cali and Caasha at Xassan and Aamina's house for an orgy? I don't care if there are no studies done on its harmful effects on society in general, it is a terrible practice that speaks volumes of the culture of instant-gratification with little regard to any potential consequences.

^ You can't get over them showers, can you?

^ Very lucid indeed. Keep it up dude.

Welfare. :rolleyes:

^ A slim waist gives an idea (by outlining them) of how easily the hips are capable of delivering a child. If the waist and hips were just one big block, you really couldn't decipher if this Xalimo is the one best-suited to carry and easily deliver your little ones. Just a (medieval) thought.

I read about this some years ago and at the time I thought, wouldn't it be awesome to combine the two. As in one big and one small testicle and a big brain. Now that's having your cake and eating it too. Seriously, in this case the correlation is fairly strong. In evolutionary terms, it makes much sense. The more promiscous the female in a species, the bigger the kahunas. Clearly, male humans are not that worried about their female counterparts jumping into bed with the milkman.

^ It really is difficult for a man (in my view) to fall in love in his youth, say between 16 and 30. In that period it's just lust. In his thirties a man is more mature and can take on more responsibility. That maturity allows him to love without the distractions of lust. I've no research to back this up.
