Situation is like this: you used to have a dinghy that would score you tons of fish and stuff from the ocean, all of a sudden these big corporations also realize your waters have got way more fish than your people can hope to catch, they catch more fish than can repopulate. All of a sudden, you're going hungry as well as your family. You and a couple of fishermen who are also affected come together, borrow a few guns, and decide to run off the fishing rigs and shit. Hey it worked but all of a sudden, no more fish. You see how easy it was to get rid of that fishing boat, and decide to hold a ship for ransom, you do it, ransom paid, you let them go, all of a sudden all these fishermen are doing it, and then it becomes a problem. Pirating is one of few options left in war torn somalia, mostly southern somalia, to feed your family.

Really depends on the household. We have some foods that tend to smell weird to people who aren't accustomed to it. When families cook the smell tends to get around the home and smell up not only the home, but their clothing, hair. Its not usually a question of hygiene, but the home smelling. In my home we try to air out the house, close doors, move the clothes to somewhere where they aren't exposed to food, etc. I really appreciate the balls it took to ask this.

They're in the same boat racially as I am. They're alright, theyre people, some somalis would argue differently though.

Some people are racist, some are old school, some don't really think racial slurs and perjoratives are insulting. For example the word for asian translates into small eyes

Yep, but mom felt war and suffering was going to happen again, she contacted my father and uncle (dad was in USA), they helped us flee and apply for permanent residence in 'Murica
