If Somali girls screw with white men why would this news group feel insulted?
I know Somali men do go out with white girls. Wara Somali men, grow up!
How can you be so racist and live in this country. This is year 2000, almost.
And you are crying here because a Somali girl did the wild thing with a white
man?
What is wrong with you?

Somali girls who want to have a decent relationship with an Ethiopian man may
contact me off line.

You are but a cyber bully after all. You know, all big talk on the internet, but

Talk to me, I'm a real life bully. And no, this is not a threat. It's a matter of

I don't feel offended! Some other somalis might. In fact most will. So, unless
you're trying to get into a flame war which you probably have on your hands now,
try to put your question in a different form!

Hey Yimir,

No Somali girl, in her right mind, would ever think of going out
with Amhar Qandhicilay, let alone having a long term relationship, not
in a million years. So, keep dreaming, because, in a sense, this is what
it is all about, a sexually deprived Amhar, fantazising about our world
reknown beautiful girls.

So long,
Madaxey

Do Somali men do the same? I mean, do they date white men, too? By the way,
is there gay culture in Somalia? Just wondering.

Unfortunately, there is a double standard in many African cultures. The men
can date and marry whomever they want. The women are restricted to the men of
their particular ethnic group.

I know Somali men who are married to Filipinos, African Americans, Whites, and
as soon as I (Black American) start dating a Somali girl, these same hypocrites
want to insult her behind my back.

Mr. Smith, let me help you and tell
you about where the double standard
coming from. You think the reason the
Somali men are insulting your girlfriend
is because she married a foreigner which
is not the case always.

So, don't think the double standard
from the Somali men has to do your
Black American identity.

You see, when a Somali man see you
with your Somali girlfriend, the
first thing he sees is you *as a GAAL*

He assumes that you are a GAAL.
He does not see the color or your
nationality at first---that may come
after the GAALNIMO.

Why? Because in Somali culture,
men is allowed to marry a lady
who is a GAAL, but when it comes
to the Somali lady(forget about marriage),
she is even forbidden to be seen with
man who is a GAAL.

Now, what is GAAL, you asked.

I suggest that you ask your girlfriend
what is GAAL. She will be able to explain
it to you better than I can.

Man you have such a good appetite that you can have good time even talking

I'm glad to be at service to the troubled
men and their mates who come here to tell
us what goes on in their bedrooms and in
their living rooms. Remember when you
once came here for free therapy when you
had marital problems with you wife?--when
you told us that you were in the dog house
and when you were not in the speaking
term with your wife. That time you got
free therapy and I didn't ask you to pay
me for my service, did I? So, why are you
now annoyed to see me giving free sexual
advice?

> Last time you told us you cab at Harlem.

Yes, I also told you it is my part-time job.
But if you ever come to New York and need a
ride, let me know. I'll do the same service
for you. I will give you free taxi ride.


> I wonder how much you enjoy talking to every Tom,

I enjoy talking with people. I'm a
people's person. I don't discriminate.

> Man you have such a good appetite

I'm helping him to undertand why most
of us don't like to see a Somali girl
going out with a GAAL. He wondered the
the reason we use what he thinks is a
double standard.

As I said, I don't discriminate. I will
talk with any person who comes here and
I don't think it wrong thing to do.
I think it is okay to talk with any one,
especially those who ask us about our culture.
This place is called soc.culture.somalia.
Different people come here to understand us.
We are not anti-social people and we have
our distinct culture. But this place does
not belong to us.

People say the New York cabbies are crazy,
but they always ride on their cabs, anyway.

So, who is more crazeir?

I didn't lie. You said I turned the cave
into sex column where I give free relationship
advice to others who come here for their problems
and questions.

> But look Ciise when was last time that your head

People are always checking up my head, but
it depends on who is doing the checking up.

Poeple can call me crazy or lair, but all
they need to do is look at who is in the
window miror that they are looking at.

Some of them find out that I'm as sane as them,
but others(those whose heads need some screws)
always found out that I'm as insane as them.

Aryaa Ciise;

Once i was told that we, human beings, are all mad but we only differ the
style of madness and degree of madness. I was assured that it just depends
on what you are mad at as style and to what extent you are mad at that
thing as a degree. According this theory, some of us are mad at money. Some
are mad at fame.

But there are some of us that are mad at madness. they really like madness,
insanity and craziness. And they are the ones that their style of madness
took them all the way to cab at Harlem.

By the way, how come you are always on line. Are you using laptop? or you
are logged on from nuthouse where time doesn't matter? ahahah. take it
easy.

I think those who throw stones
while inside of a class house
are senseless(nutty themselves).

When they see or read someone
else's post online, they think
he is always online. They don't
know that they are senseless or
unconscious of their time spent
online. When they are looking at
their mirror, they don't see themselves.
They instead see someone else.

Gentlemen,

Forgive me for jumping in to your somwhat childish bickering you
get going on, here, but I have got a question or two for you, guys:
What the heck does your argument, here,(if one can call it that, at all)
have to do with the subject at hand, which as I understand it, is
titled: Somali girls dating white men...? And don't you think, it is
high time, you should stop wasting what little precious time you have,
on things like constant personal attacks on each other and instead
start behaving like the grown-ups you, supposedly, are?

So long,

Madaxey, I don't know know how long you have
been on this NG. If you had been here as long
as I have, you would have found out what we have
on here. In short, what we have on here, in most
of the time, is called cynicism.


We had on this thread the subject
"Somali girls dating white men..",
but a cynic man named Mr. Barre jumped
into the topic at hand and criticized me
for no reason.

He said to me that I "enjoy talking to


every Tom, Dick and Hurry passing by".

He accused me of being a "sex columnist"
and said I turned the cave (this newsgroup)
into sex column.

Then, he changed the topic and
interjected it into this thread
the usual cynicsim----me driving
a cab at Harlem.


So, we Somalis, in general, criticize
and arque with each other for no reason
and we don't know what we are cynical
about in most of the times.

Someone once said:

"watch what people are cynical about,
and one can often discover what they lack"

Madaxey, I say welcome to you to the cave
and don't let the cynicism bother you that
much.

But we can always use supposedly grown-ups
coming here if they have something better
to contribute on this cave. So, let's see
you on here from now on, okay? Maybe we will
benifit from your maturity.

Hey Madaxey:

why showing all those anger?. tell me what is bothering you here. Look
madaxey if you are saying our argument here has nothing to do with this
thread, i tell you, you are damn right. it got nothing to do it. but do
you ask yourself what yours has to with it?.

if you think that we shouldn't write any unconcerned articles under this
thread, this is what you would have done. You would have began another
thread and address us there. you could have asked us anything you wanted
under that thread while you are referring to our argument here. And that is
how the people who want to change the threads do. but you didn't did that.

So tell me if new person shows up tommorow what he/she thinks about
yours. He/she will be asking him/herself same question that you are asking
now. Then don't you think that you didn't help anyone And we are on the
same baot for that matter?.

About our argument, i think there are enough bullshit around if you wanted
to have look at them.
However, if you really think our childish beckering is XXX rated and out
scored all of other nonsenses around, then i, for one, apologize anyone
whom my childish argument bothered. I didn't mean to make Madaxey's small
head to spin around. Nor do i want to make your blood pressure hit such
that high. i swear . All i meant was to have kind of cynical joke with my
cousin CIISE JINOOL, the crazy cabie.

again i say MY DAMN APOLOGY to you and your grown up CREW out there.

I give my apology to him too. I hope he
is now satisfied and I hope he starts to
show us how grownups behave.

We don't just want him at us throwing
criticism(like he is the authority in
this cave). We want to see examples and
we would not mind learning from him.

Mr. Yasin,

I am not angry, my brother, nor do I have any reason to be angry
with you, or anybody else for that matter. How can I be angry with you
when we don't even know each other? That is, simply, beyond me. The
point I have been trying to make, however, Mr. Yasin, (which, by the
way, I think, you have totally missed) was that there are always other
ways to get one's point of view across with out personalizing or
attacking the fellow you are engaged the discussion with or writing such
a profanity-punctuated sentences like the ones you have written, bellow.
It serves, absolutely, no purpose to argue for the sake of, simply,
pissing someone off, which is, apparently, what you are trying to do,
even with me, here. Yes, you are, absolutely right, in the sense, that
I could have, probably, changed the title of the thread as you have
suggested, but I did not. So what? Are you going to suit me for that or
something? I mean, what difference would that have made? I would still
be making the same point I made: stop the personal attacks on each
other, period.

So long,
Madaxey

Mr. Xirsi,

As you have, probably, already guessed, I am new to this forum.
And even though I have been occassional visitor for quite a while, now,
I have never contributed anything myself. I did, however, on occassion,
responded to some of the articles already under discusion, like the one
we have here, right now. And you are right, this kind of heated and
somewhat personal exchange war of words between you and brother Yasin is
far more common, in this cave, than we, as cavers, old and new, would
like to admit. However, brother, that does not change the fact that it
is wrong. Nor does it mean, I, as Somali, should stand by idly and let
my fellow brothers and sisters air their dirty laundry, on the net, in
front of millions of world wide public audience. All I am suggesting,
brother, is, if we have things to discuss, please, let us dicuss it in a
civilized manner and show each other a whole lot more respect, and while
we are at it, how about showing a bit of class, too.

By the way, Mr. Xirsi, thank you for welcoming me in to the cave.

So long,
Madaxey

I used to be a visitor to this place myself
before I joined it. I used to only read what
others had written. But once I started to
comment the articles people wrote, I felt
at home. I noticed that most people here don't
like someone disagreeing them. If you ask them
questions, they think you are attacking them.
If you disagree with what someone has written,
you are looked at as if you are attacking him
or her and it then becomes personal.

Yes, it is wrong to engage personal insults
and yes it is good to point out that we don't
need to insult each other, but the better way
to change the things in this place other than
moderating and feeling bad about the personal
insults in here is by participating and contributing
to more positive things to this place. That is how you
sort out the good from the bad. I'm sure that there are
more people who are silent readers. They only come
here to read what others write. People don't like
to be told that they are wrong. They like to see
mature people coming here and posting their ideas

Any time, my brother.
