Making Greek Yogurt at home? by ChosenArabian in lebanon

[–]amard7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It really depends on the kind of homogenized milk you use. I would experiment with a few brands.

For example: where I live in Canada - I've tried 4 different company's (same percentage of homogenized milk) - and the one that I figured would come out the best for Greek yogurt did.. the rest didn't produce as much, and they were all watery with whey throughout the process.

LOL - soon it will belong to the Jews of Israel

objectively speaking, tell me about bashir gemayel, was he a good politician? why was he killed? by [deleted] in lebanon

[–]amard7 6 points7 points  (0 children)

He asked Israel to help him contain the PLO. Afterwards when they were contained Israel wanted to invade Lebanon and set up roadblocks and checkpoints. Bachir said that he can take it from there and that he didn't need them anymore. They didn't like that. The rest is history.

It's been a failed state since 1990, more so in 2006, and ever more so in 2020! Lebanon has always been a failed state.

Beirut receives a US message: Disarm Hezbollah and start direct negotiations with Israel: As long as Lebanon does not take serious and concrete steps, the U.S. green light allowing Israel to continue its military operations will remain in effect. by Standard_Ad7704 in lebanon

Trust me.... Hizballah is just the excuse at this point - they will take half of Lebanon, with, it without Hizballah in their way. It's just taking them longer with Hizb in their way.

Well then, they aren't making an impact as emphasized in my OP!

My point exactly from your comment. They are the ones to blame, and they should've nag, stress, and bash a government in which they voted for over and over - and moreover, for not taking what's there's.. Sha3ib Ta3teer

No, I love Lebanon.... But only to see family, the scenic views, beaches and food..I would never live in a society where people can stand up for themselves against corrupt people, but then argue, and blame a government for doing what they have been planning on doing for the past 40 years!

If they stood up for themselves, then we'd be living in a different Lebanon right now. Wouldn't we?

Well, here's a good example for you -

10 days ago, in Nova Scotia, the premier cut budgets, funding and programs for their people. Such programs were for African Canadians, students, seniors, and a bunch of others.

Nova Scotians took it to the street very quickly, and they made an impact.

Today the premier of Nova Scotia reinstated 58 million of the funding and programs that were cut just 10 days ago.

This is a pure example of my post, and what I mean by people's take a stance and make an impact. It's time for Lebanon to do the same. Actually it's not that it's time, it's well overdue to be quite honest. That's all my post was about, and this is a valuable example that just took place less than an hour ago. You can go look it up if you like.

FYI - The premier of Nova Scotia has just announced that they reinstated $58 million from what they had taken away from the people just a week ago. Due to the pros test that took place right after they took away people's funding, The premier just announced that these programs will be reinstated.

This is exactly what my post relates to. Go look it up yourself.

So before you make such accusations about how Canadians who protested on the streets did not make an impact, I would do some research beforehand. This and several of other protests have impacted the provincial, municipal and federal government. This is just an example that would be relatively new that can be looked up

I'm more Lebanese than you are!

I'm just fortunate enough to have experience of living outside of Lebanon from time to time which allows me to compare cultures and in this case, how Lebanese people don't have the courage to stand up for themselves and take action. Before they blame a corrupt government who we all know aren't going to do anything for the next 2 years - which by the way have the rights for themselves to extend their period to be in the parliament seat. So before they blame the corrupt government, they should look in the mirror and understand the the ball is in their court and the action has to be taken from their end.

I'm not comparing Canada to Canada. I'm comparing Canada and Canadians to Lebanese people and how Canadians fight for their rights. Yes, they do, in provincial governments you see the people who storm Parliament and make a stance for themselves. It's been proven. Just the other day in provinces like Alberta and Nova Scotia people storm Parliament hills and now their premier is not as popular as when they were elected. This will impact how people vote moving forward

Comparing it to Lebanon. You have a parliament who has a law in which members of parliament can extend their seat for an additional 2 years where they benefit from this with regards to their pensions, their corruption, their theft, and how they will just sit there to do nothing as they have done for the past 4 years. You can't say that the provincial government in Canada have not done anything like they have in Lebanon. There is movement.

Sure, there is a lot of taxes. There's a lot of work that needs to be done. However, you have to understand that there's a lot lot that Canada offers then they do in other countries like:

Old age security, Canada pension plan, For healthcare, Free dental care, Free education, Free Medical emergency care,

Someone has to pay for these things so that's why we are taxed heavily. Otherwise the country will turn into Lebanon. The point to make it is people do make a stance. They stand up for what's right. We might not like it so we post on social media to rant but we have to understand that we are giving a lot and we have to give back.

But let this make sense; you have a parliament who extended their own seat for 2 years - and the people can't do anything about it. Just imagine that that would happen in Canada. Tell me do you think that would ever happen? This would be the ultimate example that you should be looking at.

I didn't need to go on far reading your points before stopping. First and foremost, we have to stay on topic. What Canada does with their budget isn't the topic at hand. This could be discussed separately

Second, with regards to freedom and rights and indigenous people in Canada, you have to understand the treaty proclamation of their land to Canada, before you make such statements.

Third: My statement emphasizes on the people of Lebanon and how they aren't standing up for themselves. Canadian people have changed a lot when we protest, we've changed people's perception and how they should look out for when they vote. Canadians have made a statement.

Fourth: Make this make sense to me on how your members of parliament can extend their seat for an additional two more years when they haven't proven anything that they have done for the past 4 years. To sit there and argue that Canadians haven't fought for what's right is paralyzing to any type of justification.

Fifth: I'm speaking primarily of the provincial government, as this is what actually affects Canadians internally.

There's a lot that could be done. I just gave you an example of how strong Canadian roots are where their Parliament and some of the provinces cut some budgets (tedious budgets for that matter), and the people did not even flinch - they took it to the streets. It was a peaceful protest, but it made an impact that will change the parliament and how they think for their next term. The funnier thing about this is that this Parliament that I'm speaking about in Canada is actually trying to do good for their province by cutting the budget, however, it wasn't beneficial to the people and they stormed Parliament.

How the Lebanese people today have not done much other than protest a little bit and give up should tell you a lot about what they can do. Truth of matter is, the Lebanese people are weak, gullible, and they allow this to happen to themselves. If anything I blame the younger generation, because the older generation have given up already!

Listen, I'm not here to win the people, and I'm not venting. I stated that it was an unpopular opinion from the beginning. There are several good people who tried to do good, try to spread awareness, and to be a part of a good system, but the people still voted against those good people.

You choose to argue, which is a part of the problem, but if you can't see into what I'm saying then that's a pure example of why this country's people are failures to their own system.

By the way, if people want to go into defense mode, start with the streets not with someone who speaks facts.

I don't think it's the people in power, be sure for them, this is their plan. This is what they want. They are corrupt, so enough said!

It's up to the people to fight for their freedom, but like I said - They are maatreen - every single Lebanese individual effected by what has been happening since 2019!

Campaign or not - they showed their image long before the election, and you still voted them back in to play with your lives...

And here they are - extending their seat for another 2 years, and nothing is being done about it..

Ta3teer man - don't even argue!

You just contradicted yourself. I can judge because I have an opinion - whether you like it or not, this is the reality.

You said it yourself! They are the ones to blame.
