Max says:

Max says:
just got back from workouts
salaam says:
Max says:
tired as a mo fo
Max says:
I had to do Bench Press Burnouts man
Max says:
lol not fun
salaam says:
NOT FUN
Max says:
and then I had to run an obstacle course
salaam says:
yikes
salaam says:
salaam says:
that sucks
Max says:
lol, and I might have to go to work at 5:00
salaam says:
feel sorry for ya
salaam says:
Max says:
lol it's kinda fun though
salaam says:
i just watched BEST vid eva
Max says:
makes it easy to go to sleep
salaam says:
on youtube
salaam says:
true
Max says:
which one
salaam says:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aGRgAElRlYE
salaam says:
jihad vid
Max says:
my sound doesn't work right now, so what's it about
salaam says:
salaam says:
Max says:
ohhhh....
salaam says:
in somalia
salaam says:
against ethiopia and USA forces
salaam says:
and kenyan forces
salaam says:
we didnt [mess with] USA til they intervened
Max says:
please, I'd rather not see videos of people who want to kill americans
salaam says:
the mujahideen were in USA side until they turned on us
Max says:
*sighs* how did we "turn on somalia"
Max says:
I'm a bit in the dark here
salaam says:
USA didnt want islamic gov
salaam says:
simple
Max says:
we didn't want it, I guess, but I"m assuming that you mean we did something to prevent it?
salaam says:
they'd rather have secular dictatorship than religious democracy
salaam says:
yes i am
Max says:
Describe said dictatorship
salaam says:
disrespects human rights
salaam says:
etc.
salaam says:
islamic courts DID NOTHING
Max says:
No, I mean what's the governmental setup
salaam says:
dont let other parties vote
Max says:
is it a one party system?
salaam says:
yup
salaam says:
now it is
Max says:
cause those are fundamentally wrong
salaam says:
america decided to back the secular dictatorship
salaam says:
then the mujahideen took some captive
salaam says:
we released them afterward
salaam says:
Max says:
Heres the problem between our countries, as well as others:
Max says:
America is largely christian
Max says:
with the Government being wholy christian
Max says:
and the Middle East is largely islamic
salaam says:
but just because we dont like the gov we dont get 2 depose it
salaam says:
its good for the ppl of somalia
Max says:
after 9/11, we became uber paranoid
salaam says:
FIRST GOVERNMENT that they actually liked
salaam says:
EVER
Max says:
which one, the islamic one?
salaam says:
ye
salaam says:
yes
Max says:
Another thing you gotta think about is differences in ideology
salaam says:
true
salaam says:
BUT
Max says:
Our government (who should really focus just on America, Iran, Iraq and North Korea right now)
salaam says:
it was the first government that actually helped the somali ppl
Max says:
believes that Religious governments don't work
Max says:
which is true for us
salaam says:
it was in for 6 months when america destroyed it
Max says:
but not for your region
Max says:
our leaders don't understand that
Max says:
THey, and many of the AMerican people, don't understand why democracies and republics don't work in other countries
Max says:
it all comes down to geography and culture
salaam says:
exactky
salaam says:
exactly*
Max says:
Hell, even europe can't pull off a republic
salaam says:
Max says:
They're falling towards socialism
Max says:
especially frabce
Max says:
*france*
salaam says:
is good maybe
salaam says:
dunno
salaam says:
we've never tried it out
Max says:
although Sarkozy will hopefully restore france
Max says:
no socialism works a lot like communism
salaam says:
not necessarily
Max says:
the government controls all the money
salaam says:
hence i said "necessarily"
Max says:
money is power
Max says:
but as we all know
Max says:
the best way to screw something up
Max says:
is to let the government do it
Max says:
well, that's an American saying, actually
salaam says:
Max says:
Dissent is the greatest form of patriotism as far as the government is concerned here in america
salaam says:
masha'Allah
salaam says:
salaam says:
Max says:
although dissent against the COUNTRY is considered by the people to be heresy
Max says:
me included
salaam says:
i am mostly against the government AND the ppl
salaam says:
the government for obvious reasons
Max says:
hey now, what about me? lol
salaam says:
and,
salaam says:
the ppl
salaam says:
well,
Max says:
You don't know the people
salaam says:
they discriminate against me,
salaam says:
so....
Max says:
as I don't know yours
salaam says:
i cant like someone that hates me
salaam says:
naturally
Max says:
Oh, I no
Max says:
hell, I get discriminated a lot because of my (not so) religious beliefs and political ones. Maybe not as bad as you, but you know what I mean
Max says:
I don't know how you feel
salaam sends:
salaam says:
ye
salaam says:
like what?
Max says:
but I can guess what you're going through
salaam says:
just curious
salaam says:
Max says:
?
salaam says:
what u goin thru
salaam says:
i mean
Max says:
Tell you what, when you've been beat up as much as me, you learn to get tough lol
salaam says:
Max says:
oh, and my real dad and step mom abused me when I was little
Max says:
thank god I live with my real mom now
Max says:
lol
Max says:
but tell you what.
salaam says:
awwwww
Max says:
they made me who I am today, and as much as I hate them, I thank them for their contributions
salaam says:
thats sad
Max says:
I'm mentally strong and I don't take **** thanks to those idiots
salaam says:
salaam says:
Max says:
And as for you being a subject of prejudice, I'll let you know that it's just a process that is going to run it's course
Max says:
I'm not saying it's
Max says:
right
salaam says:
thats true
Max says:
or denying your and your friends pain
salaam says:
i dont wanna move 2 middle east either
salaam says:
middle east is no better
Max says:
but just like blacks got freedom and women could vote, you'll make it
salaam says:
we have freedom and votes, but we have prejudice
salaam says:
noone can take that away
Max says:
I know
salaam says:
its not a material right
salaam says:
its an emotional right
Max says:
The country just has to go through a healing process
Max says:
it already has.
Max says:
Tolerance is beginning to spread again, and it's just a matter of time
salaam says:
Max says:
Patience is a virtue, and you have to wait out the bad times
Max says:
you know, that old cliche
Max says:
"what doesn't kill you makes you stronger:
Max says:
kinda like my workout today lol
salaam says:
ye
salaam says:
salaam says:
Max says:
lol damn I should tell you what exactly I did
Max says:
lol
Max says:

salaam says:
