LOL Dat mite help a bit Tahliil if I am lucky I could get a latte for about $100,000 :cool:

Is anyone planning on going to live in Somalia... Jst wondering coz I love the idea of being amonsgt other somalis, living in a muslim country and all but.... I can never see myself LIVING in somalia, i mean everyday, waking up and going to sleep in Somalia. I know thats sad but its true... So can someone plz go back and settle there so I can feel a little less sad? N.B I am not talking about building a house and ur relatives living in it, then you going back once in every few years. :rolleyes: I am talking about packing your bags and going there for the long run.

Why do ppl assume everything will be perfect without humans? That the `other creatures` will live in utopia? They couldn't survive without us...look at the dinorsaurs how long did they last? Since we can't ask these creatures we are voluntarily killing ourselves off for what they think I think we should do the only human thing and have as many children as possible and live as long as possible so we can protect mother earth for as long as possible before global warming kills everyting. Whose with me? Well, really look at the options.... :rolleyes:

Are these ppl crazy? They want ppl to stop having children, then die themselves so erm...wots the point who should we preserve the earth for if their aim is for it to be empty?

I was not even aware divorce rates amongst somalis was so high...seriously i can name about 2 ppl i have heard about that got divorced its not like its an everyday occurance. YY its wierd to go to Asian to research about the womans attitude to marriage obviously its not going to be the same as the somali women in the western countries....did you jst want a way to blame divorce on women in general and on somali women in particular? so from your research if any marriage breaks down we all know who to blame dnt we? come to think of it aint global women the fault of women too?

so if women contribute 80% to make their marriage work and men contribute 15% who contributes the other 5%? jst wondering...

Is it possible for the woman to get home just a few hours earlier each day? I honestly think this is too much to ask of one person, woman (believe it or not) are humans and are not perfect however hard they try. If men just expect to walk in each evening and for their wife to be fully made up, house cleaned,dinner ready, children fed and bathed and possibly asleep then has life taught this man nothing? How can one person do all those tasks and still be pleased and eager to see you. Why should women feel like they are being tested everyday of their lives. Yes women should try their best to look after their home, kids and please their husbands and trust me they do. But men need to understand they should not expect the impossible. Appreciate what the woman does and say nice things to her even if she does not look like shes had a full blown make over. If men really do want the fantasy house and kids then they have to work hard to build it not jst expect the wife to achieve everything on their own.

Wow fantastic poem, jst what you need when you are feeling down in the dumps...

Originally posted by Modesty: The reason as to why I choose not to get married is mainly because of the whole process of marriage and expectations especially from our culture. Have you really decided you do not want to be married? I find this quite hard to believe, do you really know how you will feel in 3 years time? How about when all your friends get married and your family start pressuring you to get married and (god forbid) start making suggestions of possible grooms. Keep an open mind sis, remember marriage is an religious obligation and remember you can adopt when your married thus providing your adopted child with a lovely father as well as a mum. :cool:

Modesty Honestly I can see where you are coming from...I am honestly frightened what the millions of little Somali kids (8,9,10..) running around London will do when they are in their teens...I cant blame the mothers though lets say the average Somali woman has 5+ kids all of similar age, minimal help from the father, other family pressures to deal with and probably can not speak English too well therefor cannot even communicate with her children whose Somali consists adding a "ka" to english words "ka"(toilet - ka) even worse (stairs- ka) Is it any wonder that somali children tend to go off the rails at a certain age? I work in a primary school and honestly even at this early age it is the somali children who present the behavioural problems and not jst the boys. Any family in which the father is there, at home taking an active interest in the lives of his little children I think will be more functional than one in which the mother is there trying to be everything all at once.

Dear Mali brothers and sisters Hello, how are you(imagine more formalities here) Anyway lets get to the point...Is it me or are we bombarded my HEALTH?! And we are constanslty told to Drink MORE water, eat MORE fruit and veg do MORE exercise so being the follower that I am I am going to try and become more healthy (deep breath) Eating better and taking more exercise might actually help me feel better so i want to give it a go..of course iam not going to give up bariise and bassto ( i AM somali) but i am going to try and give up the things on the side...chocs, biscuits, chips them sort of things. Anyway (where is this going i hear you think) I jst wanted to know how healthy my mali bros and sisters think they are... so do you eat healthily? Do you exercise for about 30 mins a day? and most importantly do you want to give the health thing a try with me? Let me know I have to go and buy some water 8 glasses a day...damn! :confused: Is that really neccessary?!

Salaam I know marriage is a good thing and completes half your deen but ppl are different...some mature quickly than others and I don't think rushing into marriage even with good intentions is a good thing for everyone to do, especially if you want your marriage to last a lifetime rather than a few years... make sure you do your research and make dua...

Home is where you can absolutely blend in and feel comfortable. That's somalia for me....even though my somali has to improve before i can feel too at ease... Its funny how eveyone is in so many different places.Somali's really do spread themselves...

Finest Sister I don't think any1 here can offer you can serious help my friend!! My advice is get the word around your looking (to otha sisters) b4 you know it you'll have a entire nation to chose from... By the way are you gonna stick strictly to Farax's?

Anyway, Iam about to finish uni, finally out of education, so what awaits me as a normal adult individual, no longer paying "student" rates on transport, gym, cinema, practically everywhere? So SOL ppl wots life after uni like? Do you long for it with a passion or do even the memory of your student days give you a shudder?

The umbrella one is true!!!! you should include gloves too. The thing about the UK is ppl always mean to leave but something always keeps them here...

Damn, CHILL ppl There are more important things to get angry about.. Does it really matter as long as people understand eachother? What, after all is the purpose of language? COMMUNICATION As long as ppl understand eachother does it really matter?? Somali or Somalian same difference as far as Iam concerned, some person from Somalia. Is this pc gone mad?

damn, can someone do the maths an find out how old they were when they got married? I would appreciate that you clever peeps from sol...

The quiz was hiliarious... I got 70 sumting olive oil?! I thought it was only my mom that said that...

Is your idea of news coverage the news reporter saying "The Tsunami affected 7 countries, Somalia was one of them" Has anyone been to Somalia or reported from there? NO. An i DO listen to the news an I dnt find much interest in the plight of the Somali people whose lives were destroyed. I understand some countries were affected more than others but especially in the UK were we PAY our TV licence they could at least send one of their trillion reporters to somalia.
