In one year alone, we Lebanese lose a lot more than all the wars we've had with Israel, and even Syria!! But truth be told, we Lebanese drive like mad dogs, we have no ethics, no respect, no fear of killing others let alone ourselves, our roads are not properly planned and built, our police are only interested in grilled chicken sandwiches and ananas juice, we provide driving licences like you buy potatoes in supermarkets, we people are killed, chances are if you are connected and rich, you will get away with it Scot-free. Trucks, now mostly driven by Syrians but equally, they all drive like lethal weapons and way beyond all civilized norms, everyone is downright dirty and impatient, wou ba3den ya akh, shou baddo ye7kel insen? We Lebanese are not fit for anything to be honest, we're just trying to look like humans living in a so-called country. We are like our traffic lights, almost never working.

Cause Dubai have proper roads- Lebanon's roads are a continuous attention game
