That's the difference between the U.S and most of the other western countries. When something like that happens here in the U.S, they dont go out and attack Masjids or innocent people. I thought when that Arab guy in Texas killed the 13 people in Fort Hood, they were going to retaliate against Muslims in Fort Hood and surrounding Texas neighborhood, but it never happened.

This is how i look at it sxb. If you listen to ONE Somali song, you have listened to 'em all. I dont like any of the new singers, just the old ones.

You really do have a good taste in music ina'adeer. I use to hate Somali music, but just like you, i am starting to listen to it more now than before. But i like to kinda mix it up though from now to then. Maybe when i go back home (like you) and have no other choice but to listen to, i'd get into it more. But now, i am enjoy my 'culturally diverse' music.

Hip Hop, Reggae, Mexican Rap, Somali. Anything as long as it sounds good.

It's ok.

Nice Video sxb.

No Abaayo. I just like Djiboutians. Ever since I've been to Ottawa, Canada and met some really cool Djiboutians.

Waryaa wyre, sxb, Inoo turjum, Akhi. Waxaan aad meesha soo gelineeyso asagoo Af.Ingiriis, ama Somali ah soo geli, hadii kale Wakhtiga hanaga dhumin, Akhi.

Jacaylbaro, sxb, Sawriro wanaagsan. As for Somaliland and Somalia, i am still sitting on the fence and really try not to get involved in 'em. But laakinse, nice pictures.

I have no problems with those that came in legally. The illegals are what everyone dislikes. They leech off the system, never pay any taxes, and are into all kinds of general crime. As for the ones that are already here for a better life, they should be able to apply and become citizens after certain years. Thats what i think.

Some very good advices and suggestions SoL, thanks alot. And no it's not me who is in this situation (Somalida iyo tuhnimo ). Waxaan rabaa marlabaad inaan iraahdo, waad mahadsantihiin kuligiin.

Ummm, Nuune you fail sxb. This NY has way more on his mind than Dhaqan from my old day's on SoL. No reason to bump this up.

Ok, Bump. Discuss.

Anyone here on SoL ever had problem with substance abuse (Khat, Drugs, Khamro, etc) and got off of it? How do you deal with that? Let's say you had an addiction for almost 10yrs, and this addiction got you into all kinds of legal problems (from juvenile, to adult) to the point where u had to lose friends, jobs and the most important thing of all, family. Anyone ever made it over the buur (mountain) and is living a sober life?

I am also concerned about this particular cicada, they look blind to me(lack of proper diet), also the shape of their mouth is something that needs to be appreciated. 17yrs of being buried and doing nothing but 'Boom Boom' is enuff time to create all these babies. LoL that's what me think.

Damn, that's a whole lot of cicadas. The good thing about them is, they don't bite. But they are scary AF especially during summer when you are driving and you have ur car windows down.
