That would get you a ban every other day... seriously leave politics out of this thread 

Yeah, just based on how off topic it is, I didn't even bother asking him what he meant by dictatorship, which is one of the sillier manus claims yet.

Which, is saying someting.

I was just setting up for a little rant. The USA, Can and Aus have genuine geographic reasons... the UK is purely the result of poor Government, just gets me angry.

WOW, my country's ranked 8th. I do have a good Internet connection though, so I'm not surprised (and it's cheap too).

(Finally a top where Romania doesn't come in last!)

1.  Nothing hampers infrastructure development more than war.  I remember the last time Israel attacked you guys in 2006 (I was in Egypt at the time), they destroyed thousands of targets, including much of the infrastucture.  Sorry, no investor in his right mind is going to invest in an unstable market like that.

2.  Five million Palestinians are not represented democractically.  If its not a dictatorship, suggest another term I can use for a government that doesn't grant rights to a large portion of people under its power.

3.  Keep the ad hominems coming, if you can't win an argument you might as well get a few insults in.

It's only an ad hominem attack when it isn't relevent, your in general comical ability to drive everything vastly off topic to support views that are... well.. silly and failry extreme is... well pretty relevent.  I mean, you went from internet speed to "Palestine is an evil dicatorship" in one sentence.

As for what you call a government that doesn't grant voting rights to a people under it's power that aren't citizens... that would be called a democracy.... and a typical one at that.  I can't think of one democracy that does grant voting rights to non citizens to vote.  Though to be fair I haven't looked that much into it, though I did check a few countries laws just to be safe. 

Now can we get back on topic, since even the dude from the country your trying to defend from big bad palestine finds your comment silly.

your country is my country, why did you tell me such a thing!

yes their are no investors in lebanon. thats is why when things starts going bad most arab countries try to help out. all i have to say is you should go and live here for one year before you start talking about the country.

their arent 5 million palestinians in the country, their are 500,000 in camps. over the past 40 years they have caused a civil war in our country, they have assasinated our politicians, and they started a couple of years ago a small war in the north. why should we make them lebanese citizens? we give them a home and food, yes they have a bad quality of life but considering every single politician steal money frm the government theirs nothing we can do. 

He meant Israel when he was talking about a dictatorship and voting power.  He wants Israel to grant Palestinians voting power in Israel.  Although it's so similar it's hard to not get confused.  It's really not worth getting into it.

Lebanon's lack of infrastructure, which includes internet speed and so much more, is caused in its entirity by Israel and Syria's involvement in Lebanon.  If you want I can try to stop thinking critically about topics.  Make a "rainbow" topic and instead of posting that its caused by light refraction I'll say something to the tune of "rainbows are pretty, they look like magic."

You can't conquer another people, restrict them from representing themselves and call yourself a democracy.  It would be like America taking over Mexico and not allowing them to elect their leaders for 50 years, and still calling us a democracy.  If you use some other form of English that gives totally different meanings to words, tell me now so we can avoid all this confusion.

Democracy:  A form of government in which the supreme power is vested in the people and exercised directly by them or by their elected agents under a freee electoral system.  A state of society characterized by formal equality of rights and privileges.
