If I want 2 take this dispute 2 another level, I surely can. Nevertheless, my grasp of the Somali poetry is so limited, and I should admit it. Basically, I know couple of poems, but it pretty much stands at that stage.

Lol@ Making a girl cry – I think u are a newbie and u didn't hear the circulating tittle-tattle yet. Rumour has it that am male - mainly becuz of my offensive, hard-hitting posts and I surely gave them the benefit of doubt.

That is funny. Are Somalis all Insane? Take wisdom from mad men's mouths literally translating. At least somali porverbs are sometimes international and cross cultural.

I take your words over what others think of you, and you sound female to me. No man with an ounce of pride would pick a female name for himself. Being a b!tch is cool. It tickles my fancy. Anigaa aqaan adoo kale sida loo edbiyo, I am fine with your loud vitriol and insults. I don't believe forum personalities usually represent real personalities. We all make up characters to some extent. We reveal ourselves from time to time, but I doubt the kind of characters I saw on Somalinet is what people are in real life. God forbid, should the opposite be true, we have a full house of nutcases on our hands running loose in the States


Fiyoore or a Kick? Pick one?
