SayidSomal Posted October 27, 2011 ^^ I don't know really - you tell me! There are couple possibilities thought - if that was the case; 1) It could explain the current predicament of the Somalis 2) Were are doomed as people if we as people are to be without any of those nouns Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
