Yeah, cuz her and I are Shiite and we are mad cynical about the Shiite faction in Lebanon.
As a Lebanese Shiite Muslim, you are expected to support the Lebanese Shiite Militia/political body Hezbollah.
These guys used to be way radical in the 80s, but they’ve calmed down now. However, they are still deeply conservative.
They are also the most powerful military in Lebanon (better trained, better funded, better equipped, and more battle-hardened than the Lebanese Army).
Every religion and sect in Lebanon (28 state recognized religions) has a militia due to serious mistrust and criminal acts committed by various factions during the civil war in the 70s.
Hezbollah is the most powerful of all the sectarian militias. They’re the ones that defeated the Israeli military during the invasion of 2006.
They’ve also shown themselves capable of shutting down Beirut (the capitol) in a matter of hours.
Once, the government moved to disband Hezbollah’s telecommunications network. The militia immediately stormed the government offices, shut down every major road, and threatened the airport if they didn’t stop.
Obviously, the government and all the other militias shat themselves.
I just hate their bully tactics. They’re always looking for a chance to show how strong they are.
hey guys, time for another college update:
woke up at 8:42 by my accompanist calling me to perform in my italian diction class, which starts at 8AM sharp. I get dressed, durn down three floors of stairs, across campus and up a floor to my classroom, where my teacher immediately has me sing without getting water or a breath. currently people are asking me If I’m human. Have I mentioned that I’m excited for a break next week?
Guess who’s back?
Back again?
Yannick’s back!
Tell a friend!
Pablo, why do I imagine that you looked like your avatar while you were singing?
Cha^2, do you still play, SC5? I’m trying to play some people online or off. My psn is Naminim.
