Hibo Posted April 3, 2002 I think it’s about time we redressed the topic.... What exactly is venting off room? Is it bashing Somalis or is it things that you think aren’t right and should be corrected? I would like to think that this is a debate about what pisses you off about certain Somali folks and not the whole Somali Community. First of all I think its wrong to generalise remember not everyone has been part of your experiences and not everyone is dirty; stinks and not all the sisters and brothers are bad. I just want to suggest that if you have certain specific stories to tell about the people you have encountered in your life who happened to disappoint the hell out of you then that would have been abetter approach. We would all laugh/cry about it and ofcouse enjoy every minute of it. Seems to me that there is a lot of anger among “US” its not right to condemn all and its certainly not right to regurgitate what you cant substantiate. Oh by the way two things that really peeve me off are:- -My uncle snoring like crazy in the middle of the night and being unable to whack him…J -People who spit around and who go grrrrrrrrrrr rrrrrrrrrrr paaaaaatt….without consideration. ------------------ ("`-''-/").___..--''"`-._ `6_ 6 ) `-.

isii-sisinta Posted April 3, 2002 Thank you Hibo- Unlike some people i read the topic before i could reply. man give a damn break ...don't talk bad about Somalis. The frigin topic says what do you hate about Somalis. Ama say this again "some" Somalis stare and stink, yes damn right they stink. By the way I don't have any problem with "uunsi", I just don't like FUNK mixed with uunsi. FYI: I only feel comfertable talking about Somalis and their flaws infront of other Somalis ONLY. I wouldn't dare disrespect my ppl infront other, Cadaan,madoow, etc. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Libaax-Sankataabte Posted April 4, 2002 Guys, hold on a minute. Bulaacad smell can sometimes be used in a positive way. Check this case for a minute... MASKIIN MACRUUF once told me that he met a girl on the phone and was making arrangements to see her. Him being a nice person he thought of this tight strategy of using repulsive smell to turn her off if she isn't what he was looking for. He killed a mouse and put in a tightly sealed gear box and let it rot for 5 days. Oh, boy ... it was a Tuesday afternoon at a perfectly clean mall in the Toronto area ... Here comes the monster he thought was a nomad queen ... she walked towards him with big grin on her face ... Maskiin is bussy fighting with the screw driver trying to break the box open. She is approaching ... shiiiiiit ... he only 20 seconds to get this done and infect the whole area with a JIIR BAKHTIYEY smell ... finally he breaks the box open ... uuuuuuuuuuuuuuf ..... she is still smiling walking like a gorrilla ....reaching out with her big hairy arms for a big hug. Then she smells the dead rat ... uuuuuuuuuuf maxaa uraayo, she screamed .... Maskiin Macruuf was like .....naaah, I ain't smelling anything .... Is somebody wearing a Calvin Klein here?, he replied. To make a long story short ... the peramedics came and removed her body from the floor. She might not have been what Maskiin was looking for, but she was a clean cat. She died from the dead rat smell. Maskiin was gone ... never to be seen again. enough with the story ... I think the problems that Isii-Sista mentioned do exist in our community. They need to be addressed in forums like this. Maybe we can all gain something out of this. Isii-Sisinta adigana understand what the nomads are saying to you which is to have a little naxariis for the-not-so-alert Somalis that do smell bad. Most of us are lucky to have the self-awareness needed for being considerate of others around us. Smelling bad does bother others around you. Regardless of who you are, you need to take care of that. It is not civil to come to work smelling like a dead rat when you could smell like an IRISH spring soap. On a general note, I would recomend this book called Choosing Civility : The Twenty-Five Rules of Considerate Conduct by Dr. P.M. Forni who teaches civility and Italian literature at Johns Hopkins University Let us be nice to each other nomads ... let us all smell nice [This message has been edited by Libaax-Sankataabte (edited 04-03-2002).] Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Buubto Posted April 4, 2002 Fatma Hold on ppl u misunderstood me completely. Horay ayaa waxaa loo yiri “truth hurts”. So ppl stop denying the facts, try to learn how to digest it & face the consequences in order to improve our negativities. I love my ppl & country dearly walaahi bilaahi talaahi & I don’t need to prove to youse. But wat piss’s me off is covering up the reality when we need to work it on so we can improve it. If we keep on covering it up, this problem won’t end it will keep on harming us, moreover we r the future of our ppl let us introduce new changes for future kids & ourselves. Come on ppl this problem we all agreed is there & getting worse that is the first step, the second step is to mention the major problems. If we say ok hana faag faagina well my dears u living in another world. The only way we could come over this problem is pointing out the negativities. So we know that is what we need to work on & solve. Just like math when u doing aljabra u first find what u need to solve so u can fix the problem. Sure we can not change the whole society but starting from urselfe is big step & educating ur kids & loved one’s the right way. As years go by this will hopefully change slowly. By the way sis fatma no hard feelings ur advise well taken, we humans need to be corrected so no harm done. Hibo & lady fatima Sister’s well u surly found the good friends. I didn’t not completely under-stimulate my sisters but just pointed out there r bad one’s out there then good one’s. I have seen it & developed phobia to it. I don’t trust “gaalo friends” infact all my friends is Somali but very close relatives. Cuz simply I was burned one’s can’t afford to be burned again. Stop being dictators Somalis. So wake up somali youth don't keep on fellowing ur elders footsteps, start making some changes. ------------------ "Our Lord! forgive us our sins and anything we may have done that transgressed our duty: establish our feet firmly, and help us against those that resist Faith."

Naasir Posted April 4, 2002 Sisinta.... Iga tag, mar kasta aan magacaada arko waxaan soo xasuusana suuqa bilaajo. shiirkaadaanba nacaye Also u reminding me what my brother used to say "Isii sisinta haddii rabtidna ha i siinin" most likely u won't get it, so don't be shy to ask your Family elders or u can always come back to the Nomads, that is what we r here 4. And Thnx 4 telling me I am humon(not that i don't know) and my spelling is wrong. Hibo>>> Thanx for breaking it down for the perfect people(sisinta), But, that shows there is still a room for improvement, even themselves.

Hibo Posted April 4, 2002 I haven't read your thread before but i feel offended by your utter disrespect for the Somali males. It is understandable to describe someone stupid or foolish but calling most of us "bulaacad" shows how weak hearted you are with your perception a being a Somali girl. If loneliness has shown you another path then thats a different matter. Hibo, you siund so bitter and disgusted by people whom you haven't had any relationship with, but i wonder what your words will when you get involved with a Somali man and find out that you were wrng to judge them by the way they stare at you in restaurants. I suppose you haven;t had any close encounter with Somalis before, as it is clear from what you told us in one of your posts, so i suggest you do alot of socialisation in the right way. I am 100% sure that the Somali males you've seen expect those from you family are those ones you've seen in the fadhi-ku-dirirka maqaayadaha. Girl,please dont jump to conclussion, dont be disgusted with us men. we will respect you if you've respected yourself. shame on you [This message has been edited by MrJibriiL (edited 04-04-2002).] Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
isii-sisinta Posted April 4, 2002 Oh my god Libaax-sankataabte. That was so hillarious, so now the beast is dead cuz of rat poison. Good strategy! Anyway we Somalis aren't perfect and we definately need to adderess the issues and flaws. For example this what else i don't like about our culture: Dumaal(this is when a husband dies, his brother can marry his wife, with or without her consent) Four wifes(without following the rules indicated by the religion) Arranged marriage and how a 96 year old man can marry a 15 year old (that shit aint fair) Sooryo(this is the money given to the womans clan when ppl get married)whatta hell how often do you see your clan..like never. But when there is sooryo about to be given everybody shows up. When a child is born, how fathers get upset if they have a daughter. Daughters end up taking care of them, when their sons deserted them for another woman perhaps. I'm right or wrong yo'all? speak on it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hibo Posted April 4, 2002 Well girls there is difference between correcting eachother and bashing eachother, lots of you sound like you have a selfhatered....The truth fact is majority of us are well decent living ppl and really that overshadows the bad ones..Girls respect goes for both ways, you wanna be respected show some........
