Why should a man pay to buy a woman? Back in the days woman were bought and sold like slave and yet these new age women still insiste to be bought, its something deep in the biology of females that yarn to be conquered and dominated.

Like a student who did not learn from his past mistakes, Abdiqani asked rhetorically, “Am I egotistical?” Then he floated an odd idea that, perhaps, he should check the Guinness Book of Records. “I think I am, maybe, the first man who was divorced because he ran out of conversation,” he declared.

Guinness Book of Records. How dare he ran out of conversations to start with his wife

that was a funny one.

where and when did i ever condone such actions?
typical somali accusation; putting words into someone's mouth.
