Start The Revolution By Sarcasm!

As my profile says I live in Lebanon a beautiful country on the Mediterranean Sea. If you check its history you will find that it was filled with occupations that spent sometime on its lands.

Many say that our origins are Phoenicians, well that is true but only thousands of years ago. Now after being occupied as part of the Ottoman Empire for 400 years and at that time it was part of Syria. Later being occupied (Or mandate) by the French who actually created or dissected Syria to a small part geographically that we know call Lebanon which was agreed upon by the French to be 10452 km^2. The French occupation (mandate) lasted 26 years.
After that we had total stability in our country for the coming years till the consecutive wars which plagued the lands starting from 1975.

After all this we claim that we are Phoenicians?! Through the Ottoman Empire we gained the Turkish traits, traditions, daily life...etc. The Hookah (aka Nargileh) along with the cigarettes (as if the hookah wasn't enough) corrupted our life. Oh did I mention that along with the Turks came the Kurds who actually became Lebanese citizens (more mix in the Lebanese DNA) officially and some high-class families were able to rule and participate in governments directly with officially talking and using the Arabic language.
You might think i forgot the Armenians......no i didn't. Being kicked out of Turkey (for reasons i cant argue about) actually they were butchered and raped. Again they blended in the Lebanese community being officially citizens too but maintaining their own language and having some support from Europe.

Till know i think you are convinced there is no pure Phoenician race, Yeah? I think so ;).

I have a list of 7 sentences that describes the deteriorating Lebanese Society:

1. We own any Consumer Electronic then we know everything about it 100% even if it is the first time we use it, because we are Lebanese.
2. 18 different sects is something special!!!! Well you can find even more sects and races in USA, UK and Sweden for example.
3. Imprisoned in what neighbors and friends think about us.
4. The community chooses what we eat, drink, wear and even play.
5. We are open minded yet we must know the religion, birth place ( and other stuff you know ;) ) of the one we want to marry.
6. You can never be in a relationship (any kind) with an upper-class and if you are then... WAKE-UP.
7. Global Rule: A man creates and designs a car. In Lebanon it becomes: A car creates and designs a man.

Notes:

•  I created this alone no one i know is involved.
• No harm intended to any person.
• This is in no way related to politics.
