well you have absolutely no idea what corruption is until you've come to Lebanon, and actually our system is an advanced verion of the Italian System

Joking aside no one can beat us at that, my people suck at everything, imagine when our national football team got throught to the semi final stages of the world cup qualification, the money that was given for the players was stolen by the government and the coach, which was German was not paid his salary, he resigned, and the players took a bribe to lose against UAE... that's a small glimpse into my surrounding

Man you are from a country where i would not even think of ever gong to.
Lebanon is a dangerous place to be. Here in Holland we have even traveling advice on the site of the government... it is a beautiful country but don't go there unprepared.... Seems though that it's getting a bit better there, is that right?

Well let's put it this way, we the Lebanese are used to the situation, it's been longer than u can imagine, and then u have different areas, though the country is small, I work in the capital Beirut and live in a town in the countryside and they are far from most of the things u hear about on the news, well except for some incidents from time to time, besides there is nothing really special about here, it used to be better in my opinion, and what little nature and nice places we had are slowly destroyed... and the people are among the worse, they keep telling u about how our people know how to live and enjoy the moment and about hospitality, but i actually see it as total chaos and very very rude, to the point where u cant even mind ur own business without anyone bugging you, and i'm a person that likes personal space and just gives others theirs, and it's impossible even at work, so there you go, that's a small summary about here

Haha, Turkey is also really corrupted but not as corrupted as Lebanon I think. Too sad, human greed is destroying everything we get our happiness from. Corruption is just a cherry on top of all of that.

yeah i know dude, i've been to Turkey a couple of times, have a couple of friends there, and i read and watch news and stuff like that, and it's really not that far from Lebanon, besides you're not required to issue a Visa to travel in between our countries, which proves that we have maybe the same level of corruption

Isn't every politician worldwide corrupt?
As my brother always says... you will not become a politician unless you proof you are corrupt... i think he might be pretty right there.

In italy we say "tutto il mondo è paese" that it's something like "the whole world is only one coutry", so here or there you can live in better or a worse conditions, ok, but all the shit that men do is always and always will be SHIT...... and will be the same shit if you live here and the same rotting stinking shit if you live there...... why ?? because man is made this way...... there are no GOOD or EVIL, I'm too old to believe in something like Santa Claus, Cinderella, love, good and evil...... man is made the way man is made, and it's not a good thing and it's not bad thing, it's a matter of fact...... nothing else to say

well...... guys...... I can't believe that if you talk about your countries (Lebanon, Turkey or Mars or another galaxy ) you can only talk about bad things...... I've talked about politicians and corruption in Italy, but only because, in the end, I don't give a fuck of politicians and of what they're doing...... they're funny someway...... the rest...... nevermind

So...... let me know something funny of your country...... tell me about the art or the culture of your country...... cinema...... television...... and, of course...... the girls

Yeah, beernd your brother is absolutely right. I cant think of any country without any corruption and usually I dont usually give a fuck. Nevertheless I could say we have some of the funniest things amongst other countries. I'll share even more funny turkish stuff, but here is for the most people, the worst and funniest death scene in history :
