First of all let me apologise for posting this, because as it stands, most topic that are posted in this forums are all about relationships but I just thought one more wouldn’t hurt [at least not much]

Somalian ladies are complaining that there aren’t any fine Somalian brothers out there.

But here is what I say, there are lots of fine, educated, intelligent brothers out there but where are all the educated somalian ladies? I am sure they exist but I have yet to see one. We [brothers] work hard for our education, jobs, and achieving all that we have achieved, but what we need is some one that at least understands where we are coming from. She definitely doesn’t have to be PHD holder or anything but at least some one with a college degree. When a brother marries to some one who haven’t got a clue what he is about or where he is coming from, that is where most problems start, is compatibility factor. Please don’t get me wrong, I am not here to trash sisters and make guyz look good, but I just want to know where are all the [talk about] educated sisters are?.


peace....

The smart, intellegent, beautiful, somali sisters you are looking are out there..and i am one of them. You see the problem with our society is we are all too materialistic. I mean i have my own ways of looking for the man of my dreams, but at the same time we all have to put some sense into our head and realize that it will hard to find the kinda men or women we are looking for. May be he is out there or may be not...
As for myself i am not gonna give up untill i find the men of my dreams. You see my problem is..when i find the qualifications i want in a guy he either got the looks i want and no brain or he's got the brain but no looks...i say to myself damn why isn't there one like me who's got both( smiling)...
Anyways bro i know where you coming from.and all i can say to you is dont give up.. your dream girl is out there..all you to do is look little bit harder..aight bye and keep me posted if you do ever find her...
peace

Why don't you tell us how we can hook up?

I got both..looks (for you assessment:5'11,light brown skin, fit shape), education (currently candidate for the higher possible degree you can receive).

I am sure the Concerned brotha got some going on too.

so, lets not just tell each other we are all out there (both men and women)..and bla bla..., but let's make it real. Lets all exchange e-mails and be friends (no matter where we are). what do you think?

Layla,
Actually, i wouldn't wanna go and expose unnecessary ego over here. I may or may not have what you looking for. As you said, everyone has prioritized criteria as to what is the "one" from the opposite sex. For me, it is her "looks" and some "good material" between her ears.
I am new to this kind of dialogue with invisibles creatures. I don't know if its worth trying. By the way, what's your e-mail.
Kaha is in with the game,i guess. So, where is that bro who thought there ain't any fine ladies??

Kaha, say something about yourself, like i did.

I think that this forums is full of a tiny, little minority of self centered so-called educated somalis. You guys and girls: if you have a profession and a higher education then it is good for you. Keep it to yourself and enjoy the results of your 'hard work'. I am sick and tired of all these people who seem to have such difficulty meeting a partner just because the 'have an education'. I'll tell you this - when you went to school you did it for yourselves. Youhave no right demandthe same from others, and if they reject you... well, keep trying like the lady says and keep that "I am educated - I am a professional" carp to yourselves.

Hi Omer,
No, I don't feel attacked by anyone. I am just put off by the idea of all these people who feel that they do not fit into the social and cultural frame work of their countrymen supposedly because they are successful. It gives the idea that society punishes its sucessful while infact it is this newfound 'education' that seems to confuse these poor bros and sisters. Honestly, I think that it stinks when one says that 'I am educated'. It does not help either when the same person does not know where to use a capital letter and where to use a small letter in a posting that is not more than 10 lines long! I really don't care whether you collect state handouts or you are a professor somewhere in Toronto. Just don't push it down my throat.
By the way, I have never created a page in my life. I probably don't have the education to do that!

Educated somali sisters? Where are they? I dont see them! Never heard of them. They do not exist. Yes they do exist, I mean those 'half-baked' educated somali sister and plenty of them. Those when you say hi they will tell you "excuse me-do I know you-get life!" in one breath. And also they exist those when you ask them what they do and tell you I am learning computer technology while at the same time can not add up 1 and 1 to get 3!

well, well...

xiis, listen up bro. It's ok with me if a lady says she's educated. If she's, well, lets give her the credit for her achievements. In fact, we should acknowledge the efforts of anyone.

I am personally glad to hear some of the sistas telling us they got the brain filled. Actually, i am even proud to see many of those sistas coming up the ladder and equal any other black/white/yellow lady i see around hea in terms of education.

The education of the girl (and the one of the guy for that matter) is only useful once u settle down with such a lady (besides who wouldn't like a wife who is very smart and knows what's up in this planet). u may not like when ladies say they got education, but you wouldn't mind having one for yourself...would u!!? or are u an old-fashioned bro, which is aight

Abdi: welcome bro.
its funny how u said a lady will go "excuse-me, do i know u-get a life"..well..i think, regardless of her education level, some girls will take that line when they noticed you making the move on them..more or less..i guess. That's another topic..shall we talk about that?

You say that regardless of whether somali sis are "educated" or not they will take that line. You are totally wrong cause educated people would not do that! Only half-baked somali sisters would use that line! Just like the other half-baked sis was trying to find out how to add 1 and 1!

There are NO educated somalis sis! they do not exist!

A kind word of advice to somali bros, If you want marry an educated lady, don't waste you time with Somali sis, socialise with other communities. Go as far as pakistan if need be!

Abdi- It's a shame that there are men like you out there. Frankly it scares me. The truth of the matter is that there are many somali women educating themselves to compete in today's world. What is sad is that you have not seen any of them.
Maybe the reason why you get "excuse-me, do i know u-get a life" probably has something to do with your approach. Judging from your agressive writing, I don't blame them.

Educ,
You don't invest time or thought in your postings? Frankly, I had difficulties understanding what you wrote. But now I get it. How about not only investing time and more importantly thought in whatever you do but considering to start writting in good old somali since you don't seem to do any justice to the noble English language.
To the rest of the so-called 'educated' ones: You probably have a basic degree in some obscure subject, or you are an undergraduate in some obscure university. Education is all that plus being humble about it. If you went to school so that you could make an impression on others, or to pick up a partner at will, then you will be sorry. The one great thing about somalis is that the don't care about 'education'. And I love it!

I tend to agree with all your points with their supporting reasoning, which you stated in your postings, with one exception. While you love the fact that "somalis don't care about education", I find it indeed very tragic. For you see, in my humble opinion I believe, if most somalis were educated today our country would not be in this shambles (for lack of a better word). Somalis would know how to negotiate and resolve conflicts in a logical manner.

Xiis,
You seem to contradict yourself. In some ways, you say be humble about your "worldy achievements" but then you take a negative approach by "genaralizing" what someone wrote. I think the brother was just trying to open a dialogue and we should be careful not to judge him as long as he intended no ill feeling. So maybe you "should practice" what you preach and be humble when you present your opinions and stop the negativity.

Hey guys this page is very interesting one. I liked it. Although I am not educated person still it attracted my interest in some way or another. Some of the comments that bro/sis posted are facts and out there, while others are just laments. However I would like to mention that I liked personally the post of “Xiis, Abdi & Half-baked sister” special these lines. “I really don't care whether you collect state handouts or you are a professor somewhere in Toronto” and “I am learning computer technology while at the same time can not add up 1 and 1 to get 3!” a good answer for this was provided by Halfbaked sister “Abdi, how can you add 1 and 1 to get 3?”. Still most of us confused how the new mathmatician brother Abdi can make 1+1=3.

On the other side the strugle of Educated Somalis Sisters is going on. I don’t want to be bias but as far as I know majority of somalis girls don’t go that far when it comes to education, nevertheless we have a few well educated somalis sisters and we expected that few more to come on board for the coming decades.

Hey Xiis and Abdi, I know where you are coming from guys and you are infact quite right. But brothes, let the ball roll.

Abdi Pakistan naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa don’t go that far, when you can get a beautiful somali sister.

Wow, there seems to be quite a few educated peeps among us. Though I don't date, I know that my parents wish to see me married (when I complete my studies ofcourse) to an educated, established, Somali man (which for the longest time I thought was wishful thinking). The only Somali men I run into (and by this I mean in passing, not actually engaging in any dialogue or anything)are the taxi drivers, coffee shop frequenters (eight guys at a table and only one person buys an espresso), and convenience store clerks. I have yet to see a well-educated (and good-looking) Somali man. Not that looks are important, but truth be told, it IS the first thing you notice about someone. You can't immediately tell whether someone has a kind heart or is well-mannered and so forth.But hopefully my well-educated, well-mannered, and yes, handsome, Somali man will turn up someday.

Look my intention was not to offend anyone... I'm just telling you the kinds of Somali men I see. And, no TorontoMan, I don't go to parties or to clubs to meet "guys like you" (or any guy for that matter...I thought I clearly stated that I don't date) Anyway, the fact reamins that in my experience, and I am not speaking for all Somali women, I haven't seen any "eligible" bachelors, i.e. responsible, educated, mature, god-fearing men, who revere their heritage but are worldly and cultured just the same. I am not impressed by Lexus's either -- there is more to life than material wealth.I'd rather be with an educated poor man than a flashy thug anyday. Anyone can get a car -- but not everyone can be a well-rounded, stimulating personality.

Another half-baked sis who RUNS INTO (not running past) taxi drivers, coffee shop frequenters who share tables (I wonder how she knows only one usually buys an expresso). A half-baked sis who has not completed her studies and thus might be studying another of those computer technology courses hence passes the taxi drivers who she does not engage in dialog but finding out whether they are good looking (off-course looks are NOT important). Sis I am hoping that your well educated man(I thought the topic was “Where are all the educated Somalian sisters”) will turn up, for him in return will be getting one of those half-baked Somali sis.

How do you 'see' a 'well educated' Somali man? Do you have an eye for 'well educated' Somali men? How do you know whether the fellow sipping expresso or the one sitting besides him is 'well educated' or not since you don't talk to them. The only 'well educated' Somalis you will see are those in this forums. At least if you would consider virtual ones. And you want a good looking man too! What are good looks to you? Denzel? Bradd Pitt or Xandulle - the guy you saw at the coffee shop? The phraise 'Somali men' is just as diffuse as the Xandulle that I am talking about and that guy - 'Somali man' is neither the fellow you see at the coffee shop nor is he the one who will eventually marry you!

Well, let me say that I am not surprised by your question considering that you one of them. I will be candid with you about who is not half-baked somali sis. Since according to my definition Half-baked sis is the one that tells you that I go to college but can not add 1 to 1. Full baked sis will be the one opposite NOT-baked AT ALL. Anyway you would not understand the meaning of full-baked as you are yourself half-baked Somali sis.

Kusow,
What a patriot you are. A patriot to say NO to the educated sis but yes to half-baked sis. I wish a patriotic choice in your life.

Kaaha,
Are you a shamed with people like me? Then don't loose hope cause there are others like kusow who are ready for the patriotic choice. Indeed I am not looking for an educated somali sis as it would be an effort in futility as they do not exist. May a few years to come things will have changed. MAY BE

Abdi, stop this and answer my question! You will not get me engaged in this tit for tat! If the opposite of half-baked is not baked, then why the half in the first place? LOL. Plus how do you determine which is which? I am serious Abdi, I want to understand what makes you say what you say. And please no insults! LOL.

If I say thank you in advance, does that also mean I am a half-baked sis? So far being half-baked doesn't seem too bad to me. I'd rather be half of something than a total zero! LOL.

You are clearly in the category of NOT-BAKED-AT-ALL(no offence meant). A word of advice, if you want your search to bear fruit do not run by taxi driver with your eyes half-shut (typical of those NOT-BAKED-AT-ALL sis) but to enhance your status to atleast at par with your friend (i.e half-baked)otherwise forever you will continue with your beep searches.

I am sorry I couldn’t participate this discussion as much as I like to (as I am the poster) due to, me been on holiday for a while and now I am busy for preparing for an exam, but I hope the discussion will go on.

When I was posting this topic, I knew (cuz of the gender issue) it will attract some interesting points but it looks like that we (somalian ppl) seem to have the TENDENCY to wonder off the topic in hand, and either start attacking one another or coming up the opposite of what the topic is intended in the first place. However, I really like most of your responses, especially those from omar, sihaam, cajabo, Laila and so on, even xiis and abdi has made some good points :). I like the term ‘half-baked’ I laughed so much, and if any of u work out how u get 3 by 1+1, plz let me know…lol.

I also noticed that some of u r getting alone and exchanging emails, u can thank me later guyz :).

To: NayaWho…

Lol lol….no I am not been scared by all these somalian sisters, and my sister I never said that well educated somalian sisters were not out there but probably they are rare and I have not seen one yet. Mastering the art of sarcasm is one thing we all need to learn cuz most ppl when they come in to these pages, they just wanna kill time and don’t take things that serious (and why should they) all u serious ppl, plz, this is for light-hearted somalians, so take it easy.

Cajabo,
I am not sure what you mean by dogging you but I was not considering doing it - whatever it is. I just got the feeling that you seem to think that I agree with Abdi's postings. Well, I don't. I don't think that it is right to call people 'half baked' or even 'full baked' for that matter. There are plenty of adjectives that would better describe people. Anyways, I am not negative for the sake of being so, or I am not here to spoil the party for you fellows. The reason I respond in the way I do is that I want these young brothers to sort out their ideas and think clearly before they write. We all have rather unsorted thoughts, but it is a long way from thinking to writing. Writing forces one to think clearly and clear thinking is reflected in one’s writings. If one gets used to sloppy writing then the way to a good education could be compromised. So please brothers and sisters, don't hide behind anonymity. Think clearly and write later, in good eligible language.

Walaal, I agree with all that you have said pertaining to expressing our viewpoint in a concise and clear manner. However, Concerned Brotha did not come to us with an idea or theory he has to justify. Rather he asked a question and I believe he stated his intentions clearly!

And by the way, I also agree for the most part with what you said about people shoving their education down your throat and acting as if they are the victims of an unknown evil when knowledge is a priceless gift from Allah.

As to "dogging", you are right I should not have put you and Abdi in the same boat. And what I meant basically is that we don't need to put each other down.

Furthermore Xiis, you have to understand that Somalis are scattered all over the world and that people that contribute their thoughts don't necessarily go to English/American/Canadian schools. What I like about the forums is that we see all kinds of people for all walks of life post their opinions.

You seem to be a man that likes substance and holds himself to certain standards. That is a good thing. But is it wrong if we accept each other for what we are?

After all many of us don't feel that we are writing an essay to be graded by a professor when we jot down our opinions! Or should we make sure that our grammar, structure and spelling are at all times correct? LOL. I know what you are talking about Xiis but do you know that not everyone can organize his/her ideas and write them down? When I speak for myself, trust me at times I talk from my mind and many times from my heart. Do I organize them? I don't think so, walaal. So don't shoot me please! (joke)

To Abdi: I thought this was a discussion forums not an insult posting. Well, when push comes to shove one must retaliate. You clearly misunderstood my messages and turned a simple comment into a vicious attack. Yes, I have seen those types of men,the drifters who have nothing better to do with their time than sit and drink coffee. I see them everyday, but not once have I ever "given up" on Somali men -- the ideal soulmate, and not once did I say in my message that I would lose faith in my quest for the "perfect man" (again, according to MY standards...I know that no one is perfect, we are all flawed human beings). But, I know he exists, he's just hard to locate at the moment. And as for my education, it's really none of your business how much of it I have completed but to totally deflate your ridiculous "half-baked sis" argument, I'll have you know that not only do I hold a bachelor's degree in Biology, but I am also attending medical school at the University of Pennsylvania. So rest assured that there are plenty of us well-educated Somali sisters out there...we're just having a difficult time finding men with similar attributes. And whether a woman goes to technical school to study computer programming, a prospect you deem unworthy of being called a "formal education", you certainly are in no place to validate her goals. No one asked for your blessings here. Furthermore, a woman/man is educated if he or she has learned a skill that can help fulfill whatever he/she has set his/her mind to.
To Xiis -- No, Denzel and Brad are not who I'm looking for. In fact, if we are speaking on entirely aesthetic terms, I don't find either of them even remotely attractive. Sorry. But rest assured that I will find and, yes, marry a Somali man with admirable qualities. I'll invite you to the wedding.

And dear SiHam, why should I change my handle when it's my name? Besides, I think that we spell our names differently anyway, so people will know who is whom.

You go girl, never take a less!!.... what we are talking about is self investment not damn joking and time spending. If you are professional it would be difficult if not impossible to share life with someone who you can't even agree with very basic questions like How we want to live let alone long-term plans and dreams.

I am not saying everybody should have Msc or even higher paper, to me paper means nothing, But simply they should somehow be coupled with some degree of intellegence. to make sharper or even eliminate our differences let us agree the purpose of the Marriage? every muslim should it be clear to him that Marriage isn't the Goal? but just WAY to reach the goal. Agree? if yes, then How god-fearing, well-edeucated girl marry with Qaad-chewing professionist, or with alholist or even with "normal" Mr talktive, loser? or the worries qabyaladist but from similar trip background?

To me question isn't education but going eitherside of extremes. if everygirld demands highly educated man, and ever man demand highly educated girl then what is left for the rest of the society? what is the propapility of all members of the society could be highly educated? Al-tafaamuh wa tacaaruf is what is needed from them not damn papers. Although we didn't even asks our self what do we meant by education? I assume we understand that.

Cajabo,
I get your point but one does not have to be living in the US, Canada or the UK to be able to write legibly (this time I got it right). I am not saying that I write in good English, but on the other hand I have never lived in an English speaking country. English is not spoken in good old Djibouti where I was born and raised. Most of the contributors here actually live in English speaking countries and therefore have no reason to be sloppy in expressing themselves. Anyway guys and girls it has been nice arguing and discussing with you. My vacation is over and I am about to do the disappearing act, as I don't have the luxury of the internet in my (not-very-professional) job in some impoverished corner of our planet. Sihaam – thanks for the invitation although I must add that the men who meet all your criteria fall in the group ‘statistically insignificant population’. Good luck.

Cajabo, thanks for your kind words although I would disagree with you about the level of education in Canada. I think that Canada has one of the best education systems in the world.
Sihaam, by 'statistically insignificant' (in quotes) I do not mean 'not important'. Sorry if you understood it that way. I meant that your type of men are few and that you have the odds against you. But again, you are an ambitious and smart girl. I guess that you will search for that man with both method and rigour, thereby leaving nothing to chance and making the statistical universe irrelevant to your specific situation. But don't look down upon Xandulle (the expresso sipping buddy) he could as well be the one! I wish that I would continue this but I'll be gone in a couple of days. Too bad.

To Sihaam:

Walaal, no need to thank me. I admire anyone that can hold his or her own ground. I admire you when you say that you don't date. Dating is not an Islamic concept. I am also happy to see that you are educating yourself and looking for the best man to share your life with insha Allah.

However, I disagree with the fact that you are somehow perpetuating a myth/stereotype among educated young women, that the number of our educated Somali brothers is small. Overall, education is not just simply having a degree. I have seen PHD holders that were so arrogant and rude I would never dream sharing my life with them. I am not saying that anyone should lower his/her standards.

But as sisters ( and I am one by the way), we owe it to ourselves and our brothers to avoid looking down on them. I don't think you are a bad person or arrogant, but there is a tendancy among Somali sisters living in North America to frown upon Somali males and praise foreigners.

To be truthful, when I look around in Toronto, I can only feel pride in my fellow countrymen and women. In a decade we have achieved so much, we have our businesses that are thriving, we have large numbers of students, professionals and blue collar workers. Yes, there are many on the welfare system but that has more to do with greed than need. We have our problems too.

However, let us look at the whole picture. Young men and women of today have a lot to look forward to. In essence, what I mean to say is that there are educated Somali sisters and brothers everywhere, the only problem is: does being educated making you better than anyone else? Not a question directed at you Sihaam. But to all Somali men and women.

To Xiis:

Walaal, I have to disagree with the Canadian education part! Even the Canadians admit there is a problem because internationally they don't fair well! But too bad! You will no longer be here so it is a closed debate. LOL. Insha Allah khayr walaal. May Allah help you in all your future endeavours. Aamin.

Most of the guys that i encountered at the univ. were very much rude and arrogant as you said....Don't get me wrong i am not saying that every somali guy who is educated is arrogant...I have not encountered a somali guy who is educated at the same time who has good sense of humour and who is not full of himself.

Walaal you are absolutely right -- a degree is not the end all be all, and I am by no means looking down on my Somali brothers and sisters who do not have a so-called "formal education". I hope I didn't sound like an arrogant know-it-all (which I can assure you I am not!) I am fully aware of the hardships that we as a people have faced (and continue to face) -- I know it all too well because I live it. I'm very proud of the great efforts Somalis have made to establish themselves on foreign soil (whether on welfare or not). I hope that we can continue to mobilize our efforts towards the restoration of our country. That's the ONLY reason why I'm pursuing my degree.

To Abdi:

You have yet to answer my question! As for Sihaam in my eyes and many others the profession of the doctor is indeed a noble one.

In Islam it is incumbent upon all men and women alike to search for knowledge and what is more beautiful then understanding the way our bodies function and providing a diagnosis when it is in bad shape? I believe that as a Muslim it brings you closer to your Creator daily because ultimately Allah is the one that grants health.

The title that you gave me I accept with great pleasure if that means having the likes of Siham as "daughters". She is a sister who lives according to Islamic guidelines with knowledge, who has self-confidence and is humble. She has apologized for offending her brothers. Have you for insulting your fellow sisters? I am happy to see we have sisters of her like because it proves guys like you wrong: Somali young women of today know what they want and it is to become part of the solution rather than the problem.

Actually, I enjoy your comments because if anything I would loathe to live in a world where everyone agreed. And you do make me laugh. So thanks. However, I would love it if you did have some constructive criticism! lol@abdi!

In the meantime, once again I reiterate: I prefer to be half of something than zero. Moreover, I believe we all have room for improvement. So this half-baked sis will from to time to time go back to the oven until she becomes baked enough to enter Paradise by the grace of Allah.

It is true that there are beautiful somali ladies but those you call intelligent and educated are mostly half-baked. It is not my intention to disrepect our somali sis but to tell the truth as I see it even if it hurts some.
Sihaam, you have my full support if you mobolise all somali women not to continue the kind of struggle you have in mind but to get yourselves fully-baked education. And about giving up, sihaam, I will give up using the term half-baked somali sis when you become fully-baked. I will only have made sense to you when you become fully-baked.

Indeed I may not be represent all somalis, which is true for the fact that some of them would have preffered you sisters to continue the way you are (not educated, "sitting home", have degrees that are not worth the paper) While I would preffer our somali sis to be fully-baked by being educated and able to stand on the own feet. But should you choose to go to college for the sake of going then you continue to be half-baked. Time will tell whether somali sis will continue to be half-baked or the change to be fully-baked. Is this amusing to you cajabo and are you happy to be half-baked. I will tell you that seeing somali ladies half-baked makes me saddddddddddddddddd!

I have heard of many people with an ambitious hope to do this or to do that, but the reality shows that despite this ambition many end up with less than what they originally planned for. If you are really determined to be what you want then you will succeed and become fully-baked. However what I meant to be independent is not that you don’t need people except your family (unless you are an isolationist) but to have capability to undertaken fully the role that is expected of you by Allah and the society in general.

Craweelo I wonder how you guys digest the meat? Can you tell me please? I'm not trying to pick a fight so please don't eat me alive.

Thank you.

Hi Carawelo,
I made the biggest mistake of assuming that you are a half-baked sis but now I see that you do not fit the description of one but surely you fit the description of NOT-BAKED-AT-ALL. For your question of who is fully-baked sis, I gave the answer to our friend Cajabo, who was blinded by her cynical laughter always LOL even when there is nothing funny.

To those who want to skin me a live:

Well let me take this opportunity to tell you AGAIN who is FULLY-BAKED-sis;
1) Do not consider yourself fully-baked if your educational certificates include that ESL thing.
2) You are not Fully-baked if you are in the habit of using the 911 to sort out your family affairs.
3) You are NOT-BAKED-AT-ALL if you do not wear the HIJAB.
4) If you go to club and dating western style, you are a fraction of NOT-BAKED-AT-ALL.
5) Divorcees are not to be mentioned.
6) More…

Carawelo, sis I suspect that you fail number 3. So my question is where are you?

By the way did you hear about the sis in UK who was airlifted out of her wedding reception by Helicopter, onto Heathrow airport, flying to Acapulco in Mexico for the honeymoon? All out of her own pocket? …….

Among all the fellas who post here, Abdi is the one that makes me laugh. Believe me bro it is not said in a demeaning way. But you have a way of knowing what to say in order to get the ladies aggravated. I think you enjoy it. You make me laugh because you have a different approach. You can call me half-baked as much as you wish and I will never get offended. I gave up on being perfect a long time ago. And I know I can't please everyone. I just try my best on a daily basis. I seek Allah's approval above all. And I will never stop laughing. That is who I am, walaal, I can't change. My LOLs will be all over the place and they are sincere! So, I accept your classification of my being and thank you from the bottom of my heart. I am happy to see that you have somewhat given us a definition. As for ESL, I would take it out. We all learn at one point in our lives. I believe that none of our fellow brothers and sisters have to be disrespected because they enrolled in a class in order to LEARN. May Allah bless you and reward you brother!

Peace

And what pray tell are the characteristics of the half-baked, fully-baked male? Or do we women exclusively have the supreme privelege of such qualities?

You should open up a bakery or something -- I can tell there is a chef in you screaming to get out.

To u all

I like u all my sis/bro. u don't seem to insult each other or pull your hears out for one reason or another.

To abdi i must admit i agree with you for some points but to remind u bro there is enough sisters who are doing better than us(brothers). There is a sis in my uni who fits the full description and even more she is doing her PhD in maths now and i also know more in other uni doing the same so let's salute them bro for their achievement and incourage them.

For those sisters/brothers who are doing ESL let's support them cuz they have to start some were bro.

Remember bro some of us have a risponsibility to support families back home as well!!!!!!!!!!!!

To all of u keep the good work.

Samawade,
Sorry bro if you think you can change our half-baked sis then you are in for it for a long time.
About that half-baked sis claiming to fit the discription above, I would like to know if she can tell us why she is not half-baked. I have this feeling that she is half-baked cause she is doing her "PHD" in maths to impress on you. Dont you see your attention is being diverted from your studies? Did you go to uni to admire our half-baked sis? Dont you know you are setting the trend for them to go for the "PHDs" just to be admired by the likes of you?


X,
Are you a real X of someone. Did you not take your husband-to-be in helicopter? Next time you better learn your lesson unless you are want to continue to be half-baked.

Cajabo
You are resigned to your ways. No change. What was the saying - you can't teach an old *** new tricks. Same to your siblings carawelo and sihaam

samawade,
I & a friend are trying to put up an organisation of mathematicians. I know that you guys have many other things to do other than worry about an organization of Docs. in math, but I just am interested, together with a somali friend. If you are wondering about my name, I am not somali myself. I am Namibian but I spent all my childhood years in Somalia.
Thank you in advance.
Jim Sankey.
