ONE would have to be glib indeed to draw conclusions about society at large from isolated samples of popular culture, especially when dealing with something as coy and defiant, as
fond of and agile with masks, as tantalizingly close and wickedly elusive, as commonly and crazily pursued, as love. Yet given the role the movies play these days,not only in satisfying our appetite for entertainment but also in forming tastes and in supplying cultural reference points from lowbrow to highbrow, one would have to be a fool to ignore the propositions about love that
emanate from the silver screen.
And yet who could be less romantic than we are today? What could be more out of fashion today than renunciation? Television, along with the movies, is awash in adolescent farce, cheap vulgarity, and the feverish and calculating pursuit of casual sex.
So my friends this brings me to our fellow Somalis that think highly of the term, 'relationship'. I want you Somalis out there, who have had the chance to live and breed in Western world to delight me with your experiences. As to what role did this exposure to a society that is so distinctive of ours played in framing your opinions in the matter of love and life. And how different is that from the one back home??

Hibo ya don't need my answer, ya already got yarself in a big time argument.
.
.
English is not how big and misunderstood can U make yar words to appear. (unless yar a Divorce Lawyer)
English is how can U make me understand in my own and personal level without disrupting sentences and making guys like me abruptly destructive and affixed in the amuck state of mind.
.
.
Now can U understand that...?
.
.
What did I just wrote?
.
.
Damn freaking me.

Dear Ms Hibo please discontinue those words they are not in use any longer.
.

The reason why ya can't understand me is cause ya made Dad very proud.

.
And he's got his many and the government worthwhile.
.
.
But, level with us, yar English is not good on us, and we won’t be appreciating it. (Sorry)
.

Hebel: ur method of disregarding ppl's concepts .. or making our idea permeable, has somewhat succeeded in others.. but not with me.. Maybe it stime u changed ur style.. coz.. its boring me. If u think u can cheap talk me like u do wit others sorry but its no vail. N talking about leveling of english.. i bet urs need more refinement. N yes.. my dad is very proud of me .. n i have reach my goal in life.. what can i say .. i smell.. jealousy..it ain't good u know..:). .be more passionate about ur fellow somalis... n give them hand of support not that I need any.. just in future references.
Annon: :)ing at u...!
