This Weird Tower Could Save Millions of Lives Every Year

People are sending rockets into space and we still can't find a permanent water source.

That's your problem right there, you keep comparing us Somalis to other people. Don't let the comparison cloud your judgement, or let our current predicament bring you down, or make you palm strike your face in rapid succession.

My problem is I have reasonable expectations from my people? Are they retarded? Maybe I should look for a comparison lower down the evolutionary chain. What about chimps?

[original dervish]

Increased war is not the answer.

Unfortunately, alshabab aren't going to leave even if you ask nicely. And relying on foreign troops (who do absolutely nothing btw) is a bitch move.

But seriously though, I wouldn't call comparing us Somalis to the 17 spacefaring nations among the 196 countries in the world a "reasonable expectation."

LIquid Hydrogen is heavily mixed with Darood (Warangali iyo Ogaden) hence his unionist values, not mention he comes from a traditionally inclined 'unionist' clan.
The water thing is useful for our development however we should also focus on industry too. Once again, Somalis is seriously backward......this will take time

Russia, China, India and America are giant countries. It would be unfair to compare us to them. But tiny britain ruled the world almost a century ago. The only natural resource it had was coal. It is three times smaller than Somalia and yet the amount of influence it had was staggering. You might think that's another unfair example but I will ask why? In terms of land mass we are bigger. In terms of resources we have much more. We claim we are muslim as well which should give us another advantage. We are placed on the most strategic region in the world and the greatest trade corridor rivalling the silk road. So why are we speaking english instead of vice versa?

Its because of that very reason they had to venture out of their land, brutally colonize other lands whose peaceful people were less technologically advance than them and steal their resources. Britain's current world status is build on of the foundation of hundreds of years of pillaging and plundering innocent cultures, so I really wouldn't compare us to them, or wish our country was more like them. If anything its the opposite, I'm grateful we're nothing like them.

So why are we speaking english instead of vice versa?

ummm....because British Empire colonized many countries in almost every continent and spread their language across the world? I'm just spitballing here, I ain't a historian, its just a wild guess.

[LiquidHYDROGEN]

Lol you are answering the question without answering the question. I don't want to divert the topic but what I'm asking is why it was technologically advanced compared to nations who had the funds and resources to be more advanced? Why was it united when ours was fractured into petty tribal fiefdoms (and still is)? I think we need to have long look at our country and ourselves. If aliens were to invade earth and wipe out Somalia not a single positive legacy would be left behind. Isn't that sad?

[STARKAST]

Islam has held us back, well Somalis dont follow Islam they follow their own currupt version.
Somalis and Muslim countries since 1800 have regressed because they like their old ways and have not embraced science and rationality.

Also imperialsm has messed us up.

Some say British Empire was successful and advanced because they were well educated compared to other nations at the time which later led to the Industrial Revolution which of course helped their cause immensely, others say its thanks to good old Imperialism, the sea power of the British Navy and of course, gaining income from conquered colonies to build their empire even more. But that's not what you want to hear is it, you probably want something along the lines of "they're smarter, and we're apes."

[LiquidHYDROGEN]

Don't shoot the messenger. As my old school teacher used to say "the proof is in the pudding".

[gurey25]

ok liquedhydro we get the point, all of us are useless shits..
no i apologize for the shit, shit is usefull as fertilizer..

how do we move from here.

we need to talk about solutions not wallow in self pity..

[LiquidHYDROGEN]

I'm not wallowing in self-pity. I'm just bringing a dose of reality to somalis and their false pride.

As for solutions, there are plenty but it would require serious thinking and long discussion. We could start by stopping and avoiding everything we're doing wrong at the moment.

And by "we" do you mean somalis or just SL?

[gurey25]

we are all in the same boat, on the way to hell.
ofcourse i am addressing somalis as a whole.
