It doesn't make sense and as I said it's just being done for foolish nationalistic pride like when Joseph attieh was going to win Star academy or like when people here find the silliest and most pathetic way to praise Carlos Slim or Shakira just so that they feel important and recognized in the world.

I mean nationalistic pride means absolutely nothing, you want America and Germany and France and all the "modern" countries to recognize us ? are you that desperate for their recognition ?

To make it even worse ... let's say you do get your anticipated recognition from these countries, what happens next is their citizens watch the next day on CNN some Lebanese groups engaging in sectarian military fights in Tripoli or beriut or a youtube video of widespread law violation in lebanon, etc etc, etc ...and they'll laugh at your nationalistic pride all over again.

I'm not telling you to stop voting btw because I care less... a matter of fact I might vote if I find it useful, but I'm asking you to stop talking about this matter as if it is an urgent issue and of huge significance and stop this tendency to suggest that people should be ashamed for not voting.

no comment man ...

oh and it is an urgent issue just not for you so you can relax
