belal wroteThere are much more important things in this country than internet. 'According to a 2008 report by the United Nations Development Program, 28 percent of Lebanon’s population can be considered as poor, and 8 percent as extremely poor'; Some people can't even buy bread to feed their kids;
Seriously? Please do not tell me there are more important things than the internet, we do know that. But these that you're talking about are supposed to be your natural rights. And in the 21st century, broadband internet should be one of those. Moreover, if someone cannot buy bread to feed his children, 1. Why in the hell did he screw up his wife and got her pregnant? 2. (assuming he's not crippled) Why in the hell doesn't he move his ass and work to provide his family? It's not my fault that some people are dumb and/or lazy. There's no excuse (other than being physically incapable) for not working and making at least $500 per month. If they look hard enough for jobs, they'll find some eventually. But waiting for work to come your way won't do you any good! Stop feeling sorry for poor people. Be harsh to them, maybe that will wake them up and give them an incentive to work harder and do better with their lives.
Tako_400 wroteBasically what I was going to say. The government's fighting to keep this country from the brink of civil war, and you think it's about to get worried about our internet connections? Sorry, people. You'll have to deal with what we have for the next few years.
So when was the last time when our stupid country wasn't on the brink of civil war? When was our country not subject to Israeli war threats? We're used to all of this shit now. Our safety is never guaranteed, there are always some threats. That shouldn't stop us from thinking of solutions to our other problems. Security is one problem, but we still have a fucked up economy, and a population that deserve to rot in hell for religious discrimination and sectarianism. Let's face it, we should either be ashamed for being Lebanese (I know we should), or try to find solutions that might eventually give us a country we could be proud of.
