i found it the same...though it is true.....but they cant say they're not somalis or deny them their dignity...

 

------------------

[commonsense]

Honestly some of it was funny and some were offensive. For the most part i laughed and i'm sure the person who wrote didn't mean to be rude.

Comedians always make fun of other cultures and it's a way of being funny.

[Hibo]

OMG - Most of it is really true

 

If you place your gum in the fridge for later ---> lool Actually I've seen pple who stick it on their earlope for overnight.

 

You talk loud on the phone because it's long distance -------> loool

 

 

 

[Hibo]

looooooool that made me lol too, but walahi the spit as we talk is so true.

 

Still i am angry at the person who bursted our shameful flaws lol

 

[Hibo]

offensive yes but soem things are painfull true in there too like if you go to other people weddins just for the beeris thats what all the boys I know did at my friends wedding and they admitted it

[ARAWEELO]

I did not laugh at all cause most of them are not exclusive for Somali's and Not all Somali's do any of those things wallahi, at least the ones I associate with.

[Motor Cycle Cruiser]

The majority of these so called (flaws) are not just exclusive to Somali people...they are common amongst many cultures/nations...and that pretty much invalidates the writer's argument that these harmless non-relevant miss-queues are the reason for the current state of Somalia. I would like for him to answer how “ironing dirty clothes” can in anyway result in the collapse of a government

Other than that, I find to be funny as heck lol….

 

 

[mataan]

add this 1 too...

if ur date of birth is first of january...

 

guys add more man

laterz

[Hibo]

hey mataan my date of birth is january the first! whats that supposed to mean?

[Hibo]

Same as me Cutie. when i first came to the UK, i pretended not to speak a single word of English and so the immigration workers fixed me this date lol. These days the Home-office database about Somalis is messed up coz You got 11 somalis who are like:

 

Name Surname

Mohamed Ali

 

Date of birth: 1st of January 1978

 

Place of birth :: Mogadishu

 

Eyes : Black

 

Hair : all over

 

Body built : all skinny

 

lol Something like that and the database got confused who is who. Thats a nomad factor i guess

If only you guys knew what other communities do, the Indians spite worser than Somalis and they too have this things they eat that stink amile away ..... There is asaying that goes like this "A monkey doesnt see its ass but laughs at other monkeys asses" now the point Im tying to make is if someone goes this length to underrate themselves wait till they look in the mirror and the reflection that strikes them would be non other than the son of the old man who keeps his dentures in the fridge. Dont say silly things about yourselves for its only who will look stupid in the eyes of the other monkeys
