underdog Posted June 16, 2005 Stoic and Kaleido... firstly,kaleido: I said it was a question for the guys because I know all the girls have that "mind your own business, why spilt it for her" mentality. Stoic, I'll be sure not to expect a lifeline from you. Walaalkaa is may or may not be about to step on a land mine and you're taking a "wait and see" approach. How about "Hey bro FYI: this is what I know, proceed with extreme caution." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Faarax-Brawn Posted June 16, 2005 Afro, you like clarification don't you? are one of those people that have to always answer a question with a question? Oh gets off it will ya? It was a simple inquisitive question. You don’t expect me to let you go UN questioned now did you? You said ‘Mistakes’; there are wide ranges of mistakes people make in their life times. Man on the street: Excuse me young man, what time is it? Afromali: what do you mean? eastern, central, mountain or pacific That depends on the mode of communication between the man on the street and me. If the mode of communication was a telephone or the man was on his laptop in a Starbucks café on a street then it will be sensible to ask him. You never clearly said if the man and me were face to face. So technically your example is subject to questions. Be specific dude, and if you want an objective answer to your wide-open question,then youve got to be ready for grilling. You the one who is asking the question. And last time I checked, there was no law prohibiting asking a question with a question, that’s unless you the sheriff of SOL. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Valenteenah. Posted June 16, 2005 UD It isnt advisable to interfere in people's lives/relationships...that is unless they are in mortal danger (i.e. he/she is dating a serial killer). Adulthood is about figuring things out for urself - making mistakes and learning from them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
underdog Posted June 16, 2005 Zeph, so you're saying if your girlfriend is seeing a guy you know fools around and has a couple of illegitimate kids, no need to tell her, she'll find out soon enough....right? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Faarax-Brawn Posted June 16, 2005 ^I asked you the extent of the mistake. you brushed me off. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How about "Hey bro FYI: this is what I know, proceed with extreme caution." Horta shekaba sheykey kutimata(excuse the Somali writting), If my brother is about to get involved with a girl that i know for sure is a "wrong number"(wrong number as being someone who hits the bottle and is a potential serial killer),yes i will advise him on what i personally know about the girl .But i will not run down his throat all the gossips i hear in town(i have to see that with my own eyes).

underdog Posted June 16, 2005 Didn't brush you off Afro. You tell me what 'mistake' would warrant a warning. - as Stoic put it, hitting the bottle, serial killer, loose moral character. Stoic, I agree, I'm not running around spearding unsubstantiated rumours.... But don't you have a right to share what you know? he can later turn around and say "I know, but thanks for the heads-up".

If I know what sort of a person he is, she probably knows it too. So why should I bother myself? She's obviously with him for a reason. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
underdog Posted June 16, 2005 Probably? and if she doesn't know? are you that indifferent and the well being of someone you refer to as a friend? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
-Serenity- Posted June 16, 2005 ^So would you say you were of loose moral character? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
underdog Posted June 16, 2005 My moral character is tight. How's yours? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
-Serenity- Posted June 16, 2005 Immaculate. What do reckon happens to car parts that have stayed in the garage for far too long un-used? (since ur the car expert n all ) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
underdog Posted June 16, 2005 I hope you're not implying you've been parked too long and need to go for a short drive to make sure the engine still runs as it should? Since you've dubbed me the 'expert' I would say find a driver to take ownership of the vehicle before it looses value and is overlooked for newer flashier models Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
-Serenity- Posted June 16, 2005 I’m not implying anything. Everything I write isn’t about me. Perhaps that how you operate..? I think that’s very sound advice. But I wonder if you’re one of those people who say “do as I say, not as I do!â€. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
