^ Xaax-factor indeed.

Ok, dudette. We're on the same page. Clearly the xaax-factor is powerful enough that people still seek it despite the obvious, sometimes fatal, risks. Now, no matter what testing and precautions are employed, if awareness, trust, faith and other intangible deterrents are not in effect, we will continue to have infection rates of 30-40% as in some African countries. Sadly.

^ Sure, language is a struggle and a battle I'm losing. Recently, however, I realized that while the opportunity to become fluent in Somali before age 5 has gone, the language can be mastered in the early teen years or even through early adulthood. The basics of understanding are there. The vocabulary is there and all that is missing is some practice. I'll tell you this though, some of the worst little gangsta punks I've seen in North America spoke fluent Somali. And I mean fluent. Clearly, theirs was not a language issue. It's one big mess.

Originally posted by naden: I'm just worried that many drugs NOT ready for human trials will gain access to African humans and not necessarily American/European ones. How else would these drugs be found fit for humans if they weren't tested on humans. Americans and Europeans are a little more valuable than Africans, I'm sad to report. Africans will die of one catastrophy or another: war, drought, disease or Hyenas. Let the drug companies use it on a few. If the drugs work, it's great for everyone. If they don't, well, I can't think of anyone, even Africans, being overly distraught about it. It really is inhuman to think along these lines but that's how far our homelands have degenerated. Originally posted by J.Lee: Test the man you plan to marry even if he was sexually inactive before he met you, you can never be too careful these days (forget propriety). And if you are already married, take him to the clinic and get both of yourselves tested. Don't you know that men are still severely horny well into their 90's. And that given the opportunity, enough temptation, and the possibility of not getting caught they'd engage in extra-marital affairs? Getting tested means nothing when a person can go out and get laid the evening of the test. Unless by getting tested you mean a daily, right before bed time, kinda thing.

Originally posted by Modesty: I'm sure there is a lineage of Nabi Isa somewhere in the world, just like there are people that are descendants of prophet Muhammad (pbuh) like the ashraf people in Somalia. You're sure based on what?

^ I can't think of a Somali dad (or mom) born before 1960 that would tell their children they love them. LOL. It just doesn't work that way. New parents in the west surely would be more involved with their kids. It's just the nature of the beast nowadays. But even with all the love and care given to a child, there's still a significant risk of that child going or being led astray. Ilaahay baa jabka naga hayaa.

Originally posted by WaTerLily: I believe my father did the best he could, he was obsessed with education and didn't want to hear about boys until you were 18, and marriage until you were at least 21 and with a degree behind you name. What he could help us with he did and what he didn't know he got us tutors. And look how well you turned out. Parenting is the most difficult job I've ever had. It's never ending. It's around the clock. It's decades long and failure is NOT an option. Anything less than an A+ will not do. A parent that is not 100% devoted to the emotional, physical and spiritual nurture of their children will only bring up disfunctional members of society. Many Somali parents themselves have had a less than perfect childhood. They either don't know or don't care how to break that cycle with their own children. Very unfortunate indeed.

^ . Clearly, as is evidenced here.

^ Let me guess. You're a lover, not a fighter? LOL. Rubbish blood vomited: Sensitivity is not the way. P.s I dislike the adoons at my elementary school. Do you have any idea where I could find more adhi carbeed like you? I need about two dozen.

^ That's fair.

Suldaanow, what strategic value do the Montenegrin elites see in secession? How is that aligned with Somaliland's elite?

^ I dunno about reading all that between the lines but Bob's Chasing Safia is a serious contender to Scarlet and her M&M factory over in another section. And it's all free.

^ Congrats on making it to the mountain top. I know it wasn't easy.

Dumb and dumber. You decide which is which and you keep the score. :rolleyes:

Conoco Phillips? Elaborate, please.

Originally posted by General Duke: The pressure is on Geedi, what leverage does he have over Puntland? None. What position is Puntland in to delegitimize Geedi or anyone in the TFG? Just because Geedi is a worthless pile of cow dung does not mean Puntland has any standing to deny him recognition. Exactly who rules over who? This whole saga is bad news for all parties involved and concerned.

Yac. Don't be a vulture circling up above, Suldaanow. General, I'm heart broken walaahi. It seems you're no more a federalist than a Mr. Oodweyne or a Suldaan. What gives awoowe? Why is everyone getting under your skin today? The hell with Geedi, the loser. But replace Puntland with Somaliland in your posts above and Tolstoy appears. Nothing is sacred.
