hey i have a good advice for you... stay with your JAMAICAN TILL YOU DIE!
WELL ISN'T THAT ENOUGH FOR YOU ? OH, I'M SURE IT'S ! |

I think you should give a chance to understand your people and cultur. No body want someone who don't give damn his cultur and country. I am sure you have heart to love your people, don't listen to hana and so called la taliye. I born my self in sweden, i have been somalia only One one time my life time and i love my people and country even though there is war and i am sure one day i will marry my strong brother and have somalian kid. So don't give your hopes and dreams away just becouse you can't get along with somalian ppl. |

Don't you see we can't understand each other in these forumss, and I think it's natural that you kinda feel out of place with our people, since you and I hail from different planets, theirs is the only one with atmospheric condition, gotta get used to the oxygen.
Just take it easy they don't mean to be nasty, I got that long time ago.
Easy now |

Amal, maybe it's due to the fact that you didn't grow up with Somalis, I myself have not seen Somalia yet, and hope to do so in the summer, but I grow up with Somalis around me. All you really need to do is be yourself and make an effort to understand your ppl, if you try your best, you can't go wrong. Trust in yourself and don't let anyone get you down, especially a few words from idiots and ignorant ppl.
Peace out |
| SurReal | Thursday, January 11, 2001 - 05:54 pm
OH cry me a bloody river will you ??? Maybe it's the kind of people you're dealing with, you shouldn't generalize you know. Who said Somalis are so nice, in fact most of them are vindictive, that is the females I am speaking of, if you are prettier than them or more knowledgeable then you better watch out, because that's when their claws show up. |

Amal .. may be u don't respect ur family and those who are around your family. I am sure u have a big story to tell us, i know ppl who born here in n.america and they are like those who born back home, tell us more if u want help. i appreciate ur concern. |

Amal...
Honey, I don't understand Somalis from Somalia. They are a whole different breed of people. I can relate and get along with Somalis who grew up in other countries. We can hang out, engage in intellectual conversations and so on. The Somali from Somalia have a different outlook on life and I can't relate to it. So I don't engage in conversations longer than "ASSLAM ALEYKUM" with them.

I MY SELF DON'T UNDERSTAND SOMALIENS. I WASN'T EVEN BORN THERE, NEVER BEEN THERE, BUT AT THE SAME TIME KNOW WHAT KIND OF PEOPLE THEY ARE. BEST SUGGESTION, DON'T TRY TO UNDERSTAND ANYONE. CAUSE YOU CAN'T. IF YOU MEET SOMEONE, YOU LIKE THEIR CONVERSATION, HAVE A LOT IN COMMON, THEN THAT'S A PERSON YOU SHOULD HANG AROUND WITH, BUT SAYING YOU'RE SOMALIAN AND YOU HAVE TO BE ONLY WITH SOMALIAN IS IGNORENCE AND PATHETIC. SO BE YOURSELF. |

AMAAL!
I SEE ENGLISH IS NOT ONE OF YOUR STRONGE LANGUAGES??? I THINK THAT U R "FRESH OFF THE BOAT".
HOW ABOUT TAKING SOME "ESL" CLASSES, I BET U'LL MAKE A LOT SOMALI FRIENDS THERE. THAT'S WHERE I MET MOST OF MY FRIENDS. |
| Amina | Friday, January 19, 2001 - 06:29 am
Ifrax lol.
Amal i agree with wot honest_girl said, sorry your getting so much negativity here. But thats somalis for ya- You can't live with them and You can't live without them.
I don't really think that it has anything to do with where you were born and weather You have never been to somalia or not. I wasn't born in somalia and left there when i was 7 also. Still, i speak my somali and love my culture to da max. I have friends and family who have never even been to somalia and they are as somali as you can get. It is all determined by your mentality and upbringing..
I find it easier to get along with somalis couse we got sooo much in common 4real.
Basically, i think that it is an individual things sis and the answer lies within your self...... is it only with somalis that you get like that, or other people 2.
Abdi- maybe it is you who is lacking some sort of peoples skills- if you feel that you can only chat to one group of people.
Caramel, i c yo point sis, it is good to mix with people from other cultures 2. |
| sulkha | Friday, January 19, 2001 - 09:39 am
I totally agree with Abdi.
thanks |

amal MOST somalis don't want to get along with each other till they know their clan affiliations. Usually they'll know your clan from your somali accent but if they don't you are a stranger to them.
That's my own explanation, I could be wrong. |
| Anonymous | Sunday, January 21, 2001 - 10:37 am
may its just your personality coz our people are the most easy people to get a long with 4 real peace out |
| Jamal | Monday, February 05, 2001 - 08:02 am
I've never lived in somalia. I woz born in da middle east, i came to england when i was like 8. N cuz i never lived in london, i neva got the oppertunity to mix with somalis until they started movin into my city, due to housing shortages in london.
But only recently, id say in the last couple years, ive really started chillin with somalis. Before, i woz wid like Biddas n white mans n som asians..but when i waz with them, i always felt i was tryin to be someone i wasnt, especially among my white firends..for real.
Yeah, i had trouble understanding them at first, but i grew to lov ma peepz..im tellin you, i aint neva met a people wih more humour, belive dat. Its helped be develop my somali more, so thats a another big positive..nah mean.
N when i saw more n more somali queens walkin down da road..well, u know i was lovin it at that point.
One!! |

Hey
i was also not born in somali,and because i go
to a diff.school(there is not ONE somali person
in my school)i too have a hard time understanding
somali(only ones i know r my parents age!they talk with words,i did not know they exist)i can small
talk,but the more i hang out with non-somali
my languege skills drop!but i try to read book etc
and try to learn how to spell,it is not going well
but i try u know!
a mean sooner or later you will meet people your
own age etc.Seen it happen before with others so
just be patient and as long as u hang out with good ppl it doesn't really matter,i mean i love
my culture etc.But there aren't any peepz my age
to hang out with so it will come. |

Assalamu aleykum.
SurReal and Abdi Iam with you 100%.
I realy feel like you know how i feel about our peaple gaar ahaan somalian women runtii waxba kuuma quuran,if they see you little prettier or smart aaaaaaah that is where the problems stars so like the ather girl said you better watch out. dont say nothing but salaamu caleykum.that how i feel about our women, somali men are wonderful. |
| SPIKE_LUU | Monday, February 05, 2001 - 01:44 pm
amal , i know why u can't get along with somali people.
it's u..yeah it's u.
u grew up in gulf states.
u speak arabic and your spoken english ( ebonics) is good.your somali is kind funny and u have this hissing sound plus u r carablaay.
u work in a the mall, in some store and u get paid $8.50 as a sales person..wow girl u doing good.
then u wear those tight ass jeans and high platform shoes.
u have nice her and u like to show up to wave wearing female nigger friends..girl , i wish i had yo hare.....lol
then when friday night coms u down with your nigga crews ..go to the movies or some downtown hip hop club......
ok now where are the somalis in this picture....
some of them are working 12 hours a day in a factory getting overtime and thinking about sending contribution money to their relatives back home.
others are in school hitting the books and aiming high.
otheres are busy with their professional jobs and creers.
then comes the weekend..some go to masjids, tp wedding cermonies, to koranic schools, to somali restaurants , to visit relatives...and so on
see the gap now?
i think that is why...... |
