I truly believed only Voltage had the copyright for dead-end threads that masquerade as something profound and serious, but your dedication to the proliferation of humbug puts that dim student to shame, Ruralman. Were you dribbling as you collected all those images of farmers and camels, my friend?

Yes the livestock made me quite hungry, as you are aware its ramadhan so you can imagine

Ragga laxaha sii dhowrayow dhaqasho waa GEELE. I wouldnt mind if you (ruralman) take South SOMALIA as your Agricultural example.

Compare farming societies - Babylon, Egypt, France, United States, China..................................to nomadic societies - Somalia, Yemen, Saudi Arabia

Farming came around 8,000 years ago, around the time of the first civilization (Sumer, Iraq) and since then human societies have been formed as they are today. Somalis are still stuck in this pre-civilization period. I don't understand why people still live like desert gypsies when they can farm so easily.

You are a smart man, tell these people. Nomadic lifestyle has no future except hardhip, raiding of others, war, injustice and a lack of intellect.

I am not familiar with South Somalia, its quite straneg that for a land which is blessed and green, the majority of the people are starving?

Why is that?

If this line of thought is further pursued then definitely an industrialist will belittle the farming way of life and an environmentalist will condemn how man made machines have put the planet in danger and so forth the chain of sons of Adam superiority paranoia continues...

Farmers are urban ppl, while herders or pastrolists are nomadic ppl.
when you farm, you settle down and you get 12 month food plan, you build houses schools and markets. while animal herders just move from one place to another, sometimes with one or three families, deep into the forest, with less contact with civilization.

The biggest farms in Somalia are located in Banadir and Jubba regions, that is why those two regions are most urban and densely populated.

Don't farmers live in rural areas?

No, how do they, farmers produce food to feed big cities or towns, and if there are no cities, the farmers themselves settle down there and make their own cities, because farmers usually settle down where there is water or river, and they produce the food for a whole year, so when you have water and food, what comes next? its cities and population that are attracted by that food and water, and that is how civilizations begin.

I do not know where you live but where I live farmers live in villages or rural areas not in cities!

Well who is providing food to that city you live? tsince they don't grow farms, and they don't herd animals, their food must be falling from the sky huh?

big cities like that have big farms feeding them with fresh foods and vegetables, grains and eggs, otherwise it will be unlivable. you won't find a farm located in downtown, but on the outskirts of the city. because you talking about an already established city, that outgrown relying on farms for their daily foods and instead producing factory processed foods.

Do you know of any means of transportation other than using your donkey or feet? There is this wonderful manmade machines called trucks that transport from farms to factories and food stores!
