LadyFatima Posted February 1, 2002 Salaama All, You can "help" your people by Helping yourself first! Paycheck to Paychek won't support you or your relatives back home! My People Trust me w/out Education you're Nothing! ....or as they say in somali Aqoon La'aani Waa iftiin La'aan!! Mataan... From Day one, we are taught that a younger man(man our age or younger) won't know how to "raise a Family", and to be Frank Most Men my age or 18-24 Don't know anything about being Responsible let along how to handle the responsibility of a whole Family!! There are 10 out of every 100 guy's in that age group that I can really say are way Mature then their age group! or up to the challenge of raising a family.....Thumbs up if you're one of the few You have to understand, age is nothing but a #, It all depends on how you "represent" yourself around people! especially the Ladyz.

Hibo Posted February 1, 2002 Jamaal I don't blame you 4 not going Oxford... walaahi that place ppl to a bunch of snoots without any sense of identity --- but that doesn't mean the we should abandon education all together. Caydiid, Education doesn't only equal money... it is also about opportunity and experience. How are we supposed re-build our selfs without the know-how! Mataan, I thought you didn't like older sisters? what is it bro... are U confused? shimbir yar ayaa igu tidhi in ay kabihii kaaga dhamaadeen sidaad uga carareysey dumarka waayen! Bal isu key macnee?

Hibo Posted February 1, 2002 lady fatima i know paycheck to paycheck won't be enough,but that's is not what i relay on.i'm 23 yrs old somali guy,who knows what he wants in life,money and women,everything else will come later. i know i'm the smartest and the brightest somaliguy in the hood,but sadly enough my smartness has taken me to the road less travelled,to the world of quick money and a short cut to somali richness. Lool i see most of you are proud to be in college, and the so called universities, instituitions that admit even the somalis and the mexicans i used to beat in Esl class.What is even more sad is the factor that the so called somali elite group (college students) have no afinity to faculties that make sense like medicine,engineering, insteadthey're busy majoring in trash like african american history,psychology or business admintration,i mean having a degree that won't land you in the field you have specialised.most if not all are confused and waste a couple semesters switching from one field to another. i see e'm in the streets with their college name stickers on their cars, and hardly can they solve simple questions like 1- if a circular coin has a radius of 3/8 inches,when lying flat,how much area does the coin cover in square inches? or 2-over all real numbers x,what is the maximum value of 4 sin 3x? or in chemistry, what's phlogiston theory? my theory here is that,even though qualified not all of us think college is that much important.i'm a truck driver cruising coast to coast and the pay is not bad,every month i make $3500,and inshaalahu i will buy my own truck that is gonna push my monthly earning to a level most of you just dream of,$ 10,000. With much money there's no doubt that many in somalia and america will dance to my tune. i choose the name loser4life,coz that's how the so called elite group who wake up in the morning from public housing and section 8 see us, those like me who have no college to be identified with.when will they know the difference btw a highly learned fellow and a educated fellow.

mataan Posted February 2, 2002 Salaams all; thanx to everyone for the +ive contributions to this topic.... LF... many thanx sister for your support...even thou i asked u the whereabouts of those sisters, but never mind! It's very surprising that only 10% of us (men) aged 24 or less are responsible when it comes to making a family, could u let us know how u came up with this statistics (i hope it is just imaginery). About the 'representations', it will be very very difficult as u mentioned that from day 1 u r taught that young men are immature... I think in that case i just have to wait till i reach that maturity age...24+. Ameenah... i aighnt confused or anything sis...never ask shimbir yar anything, always ask shimbir wayn, ok. Hadaan is micneeyo: I CAN'T PUT IT ANY CLEARER, I PREFER A GURL OF MY AGE OR LIL OLDER...hadaad u baahan tahay in aan aad isu micneeyo drop a lil note in my box n leave ur details behind. wasalaaaaam [This message has been edited by mataan (edited 02-01-2002).] Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"ALL THAT GLITTERS IS NOT GOLD" loser4life""critically analysed"" LOl Mr-Loser4life, i think i am inspired by you, after all Knowledge isn't intelligence. I don't believe in what universities and all those higher institutions teach. I am a dreamer and i really like what i dream about. If i go to a university, i know i will get brain-washed. By going to university will mean that i am naturally incapable of coping with life, but it means alot to many others. Do i have to train? to know how to live like someone whom i dont want to be? Most of us think knowledge can only be gained from legal institutions and universities, but i don't think so, who created these universities? these libraries and these institutions that many of us brag about? Someone like you. Hey, lol i am kidding, go to schools and unis coz it will help you live through life later on.

LadyFatima Posted February 2, 2002 Sorry Mataan... well, here are the places to start LQQKing..or the area codes to be calling.. 404,301,604,415,408,206 and 612! They say brotha "Experience is a good teacher, but her fees is very high." believe me those ' statistics' didn't just surface they are based on actual events! I'll change my mind when i see a 18-22yr old guy who cares about something more important and valuable then their FUBU,Mecca,Phat Farm Wear and What Nas and JayZ said!

Hibo Posted February 3, 2002 Assalaamu Alaikum, I believe that post-secondary education is an important part of ones personal growth. To denounce it as some sort of a perverted mental institution, that has nothing to offer other than hollow dreams, would be absurd to say the least. Prophet Muhammed (PBUH) has told us to seek knowledge wherever we find it even if means going as far as china. I find negligent on our part if we waste the oppertunities that we have. However, it is not to say post-secondary education is the venue for ultimate knowledge. We are not wise, if we are not wise of the Holy Book, and the SUNNAH. Further, as some one before me mentioned, experience is also knowledge in it self. Aside: I wonder why people generalize. I mean who did the statistical analysis that 18-22/18-24 year old Somali Males are incompetent when it comes to responsibility? Wassalam Wabilaahi Towfiiq ------------------ We all must meet our moment of truth. [This message has been edited by Mr (edited 02-02-2002).] Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Miskiin-Macruuf-Aqiyaar Posted February 3, 2002 Salaan... Loser-for-Life: Call me after your caqli lix saac is up. Before that, enjoy life fully. P.S.: I am not saying you should go to Harvard or any other major institution. I am just saying that knowledge is critical, whether it is a self taught or a pleasure or a personal or an ambition. It is just a 'must' to survive. Though, I am not a one who is a university-type, but still I respect those who attend. I am a self-learner. I mostly teach myself. ______________ Macsalaama!!
