You have to fulfill certain criteria to be "taken care of". Not every Xaliimo will be taken care of. So at the risk of failing to qualify for being "taken care of", get an education and later, a job.

Originally posted by Ace of Spadez: He fails to understand, the real reality on the ground is Somaliland a) is not a secessionist state, and b) it is in fact a defacto sovereign state. What is a "defacto sovereign state"? Is it like being de facto pregnant? And how does a "real reality" compare to an unreal one?

^^^^^ The people of Somaliland are awesome. Like other Somalis, I love them. The concept of secession is a fraud. Can you understand the difference? I'm not patronizing you, atheer. Wrong forum. Let's talk about Bella.

Originally posted by Ibtisam: Lol, no she'll be back, I have faith in her and she sounds like she can hold her ground. As much faith as you have in, say, Somaliland? Because both are conceptually a fraud.

What do you propose to do with those born after 1985? Purge them? Brain wash them? They know nothing other than Somalialnd and will fight to keep it that way. You mock their age there but again you put your foot in it by acknowledging the fervent feelings amongst the Somaliland youth. They've already been brainwashed once. I would rehabilitate the poor sods.

Originally posted by Paragon: Princesa, your mind works beautifully . Perhaps. I have a feeling Bella won't be back in this thread.

^^^^ NGONGE is playing the devil's advocate. Don't labor in explaining things to him. If anyone in this secessionist lot understands, it's him. The elitist Oodweyne also understands but he's a fanatic. The rest were born after 1985 and were told by ayeeyo that Somaliland has always been sovereign. Even during colonial times. lol.

You, my dear Cara, are the anti-minyaro. Irresistible, nonetheless. Originally posted by Femme Fatale: I think work sucks and staying at home sucks. Don't know --- what else is there to do other than those two? I'm at a loss. I deeply hate both options. How about raising kids? You into breeding? I'm thinking of moving to your neck of the woods.

^^^^ I'll take an MPEG with niiko music playing in the background.

^^^ Don't get on the wrong side of Femme, she'll tear you up. lol. Femme, wouldn't you want a man to work and take care of you while you play dress up at home? Come on, admit it. Even I want someone to take care of me while I watch TV and play Nintendo all day.

All you haters get off the girl's back. Bella, if you want to be a trophy wife, you have every right to do so. But you must be a trophy first. In other words, certain criteria must be fulfilled before you can be certified as a trophy. Upon presentation of satisfactory evidence (in the form of a GIF or JPEG), I'll certify your status as a trophy. If you fail, you're heading to the employment office first thing in the morning.

^^^^ You're a little late awoowe. I was predicting your arrival last week. But a 10,000 word reply takes some time, so I understand.

^^^^ Can I answer that?

Where's Jesse James when you need him, eh?

^^^^ When I was younger, I went to a few to check out good looking women. Nowadays, I politely ignore. Though I attended one last year in Minneapolis and there were no chicks to be had. Of course, my wife was there too so that might explain the drought. I don't have time for qabiil. Not mine and certainly not anyone else's.

*Blessed, I guess you have not heard Nietzsche's famous quote: "In individuals, insanity is rare; but in groups, parties, nations and epochs, it is the rule." He also coined JB's favorite: "Faith: not wanting to know what is true."

Originally posted by General Duke: With all our troops in the south and the secessionists are having a hard time. Besides hiding behind Ethiopian tanks, what exactly are your troops doing in the South?

^^^^ Somaliland is not a domestic issue to Northerners or even Somalis. You may comment on Iraq, Afghanistan and even Palau and not have to answer to anyone. Just wanted to bring that to your attention. Furthermore, the Northwest (a.k.a. Somaliland) suffers from many of the same ills as the South. Clan divisions, external interferences, competition for resources, etc... It may be an "oasis of stability" at the moment but the tensions and their potential for explosion always lies beneath the surface. I hope nothing of the sort ever materializes but don't delude yourself into thinking that Somaliland is immune to the insanity in the South. That is not only shortsighted but quite dangerous. As for Riyaale, he's the sleeping pill for the people of Awdal and his effects are now beginning to wear off. So, as Xidiggo is trying to convey, what will the political elites of Hargeisa do now? Who will they appoint as the president to make other (more volatile) regions docile as Awdal has been. My bet is it'll be an SSC guy. But what do I know? This is a domestic Somaliland issue. lol. As for him supporting Al-Shabaab, I welcome his support and I'm very appreciative of the fact that he realises Al-Shabaab is for one Somalia. If he's willing to support them with fact in mind, then great. I don't think he realized that last fact just yet.

This is what one "Somali" wrote about Omar Eno's video: Maay maay is your slavery language not the SOMALI language and is being used by your ppl and seen the fact you aren't somali we dont consider it as a language that is been used by somali ppl but by ppl who worked for the great somali ppl. This man really got me upset, I feel the ppl dont take the somali ppl not serious anymore. How can these slave claim that he is a fullfledged somali. SUBHANNALLAH Subxaan-Allah. What a worthless timo-jilic ba$tard.

I bet there's no one buried in that tomb. Do people come to it to pray, leave offerings and such? I bet there's an entrepreneur who's capitalizing on this. Money is on the money here. Like other tombs of "founders" of Somali clans, this one is a racket or rubbish or both.

^^^^ You're right, we were unduly harsh on the young brother. He chose a path and he's pursuing it. Something difficult to achieve at any age, let alone 23. How many of you can say that of yourselves? You're probably languishing in some god forsaken University studying for a god forsaken degree that you don't even like and getting C's in all your classes. That's if you've even made it out of high school. Fariid baad tahay Faarax fanaxlow. I take back what I said about you. P.S. And driving a cab is an honorable occupation. Y'all should try getting a job sometime instead of living at mommy's house and burping all over the internet.

Originally posted by Xidigo*: quote:Originally posted by Malika: Xidigo, If Riyaale had done all you had expected from him for Awdal, would the citizens of that region, still be awaiting for the revival of the greater Somalia? Yes. Of course! Keep waiting for the "revival". lol. If you can't be with the one you love, love the one you're with. I think NGONGE said that somewhere.
