Hate to break it to you but Lebanon is a shithole dump. It may be somewhat better off than the rest of the Middle East but as a whole, Lebanon as a country lives like our poorest of Appalachian poor.

quote:

According to this assessment, 28.5% of the Lebanese population (or 1.07 million individuals) were estimated to be poor, living on less than $4 per day. About 300,000 individuals (or 10% of the total population) were considered as extremely poor, living on less than $2.4 per day, and unable to meet their most basic food needs.

Your typical American poor person would live like a king in Lebanon.

This has not been my experience in the past decade. At the end of the 80’s, the country was in bad shape. That being said, prior to the Muslim immigration, this once predominantly Christian country was a beautiful country that was a nice place to visit. Rural poverty, yes, but still nice in the cities.

Are you talking the Salooms, Abdallas, Boustanys, Ackals, and such?

Lafayette is loaded with Lebanese Catholics with money, living among the Cajuns.

A troll that knows nothing about Lebanon, cool. Its a resort country. Its very wealthy




Well at least there is something you know less about than baseball.

Both average salary and GDP per are sub $10,000.

Lebanon is a shithole just like Jamaica which also has a few fenced in resorts.

Long story short the Lebanese would sell you their sister to be able to move into a "swamp trailer", and I say all this as someone who despises coonasses.

Racist POS


BowlJackson, you have absolutely no idea of the amazing aid that Mercy Ships provides West Africa through the services of the Africa Mercy (the largest NGO hospital ship in the world) and its hardworking volunteers (and a few employees).

redstick13, what do you do for Mercy Ships? At one point I wanted to volunteer as one of the ship's photographers, but you had to commit for two years and I just couldn't swing it back then. And if anyone thinks photography is pointless, how could that possibly help, just know that they don't only use images for fundraising and to recruit new volunteers, they also take pictures of the men, women, and children that they help and do before and after shots for them. Then they give them prints.
