Help Needed!

Monday, April 20th, 2009

Dear all,

I have this facebook application as a University project, and I need 1500 users by Tuesday. It’s called Lebanese Delivery, it is an online directory for Lebanese restaurants, classified according to location and type. It gives you the number as well as the menu of the restaurant you choose.

The pictures are being uploaded at the moment, but I needed to start my invitations and marketing campaign in order to get the 1500 users.

So please, help me with this and add the app, and spread the word and invite your friends if possible.
You can invite your friends from inside the application (however, that is limited to 16 invitations per day), or by messaging them or setting it as your status on facebook.

Click on one of the two following links to access the application:

http://apps.facebook.com/lebanesedelivery
or

I really appreciate your help,
Thank You!!!

Chartouni

Monday, August 18th, 2008

Lately, and amidst all the current happenings in the country, many subjects that were put to sleep before have been awoken, called for and discussed. Of these topics, one may consider the retrieval of the Lebanese detainees in Syrian jails, marking the borders with Syria (all of it, rather than part of it :) ), and many many more.

I was just reading through some news when I stumbled upon Walid Joumblat’s latest statement, in which he called for the formation of a Lebanese-Syrian committee which follows up on this issue, and has jurisdiction, or call it permission if you want, to visit both Lebanese and Syrian jails.

This caught me and made me think: will the Lebanese side of the committee have the right to demand the retrieval of those who committed barbaric atrocities in Lebanon? And at the head of these names, Habib Chartouni? Will that animal be brought to justice, or are the others going to call for his glorious return to Lebanon, just like they did with Samir Kuntar?

The president of the International Bank, Paul Wolwofitz, went on a 2-day visit to Turkey.During his stay there,he went and visited a mosque.And when he took off his shoes to roam inside, some photographers took pictures of his socks,punctured at the toes!
Please make a small donation for Mr. Wolwofitz, we can’t have him running around like that, he might get sick!

Is it stupidity or betrayal?

A couple of weeks ago, I was flipping through the TV channels, and suddenly reached manar TV.They had a show on, and were receiving live phone calls from viewers.A certain “Jeanette” from Kesrwan called and starts off with the usual aounistic logic and mentality.
Eventually, she came to a point where she said she wished Dr.Geagea hadn’t been released from jail, and added that she wishes he goes back there, only this time joined by Carlos Edde, Dory Chamoun, and Fares Souaid.
Why?Only because they are opposing her politically now?I hope so, because if not, then she and her general should go back to Der El Saleeb.
Those Aounists surprise me…
They forget the parts of history they want to forget, and remember the ones they want to remember.
Did they forget that most, and literally most, of the FPM supporters used to be followers of the Lebanese National Bloc (Hizb al Kitleh),and the National Liberal Party (Hizb al wataniyeen al ahrar)? What happened to the support they never ceased to receive from the late Ameed Raymond Edde?
I am in no position to defend the Ahrar or Dr.Souaid, since I don’t primarily support them, but support their cause in the 14th of March coalition.
However, I feel the need to defend the Kitleh party, which I am quite related to.
To make things clear, and provide some inside information:
General Aoun was not accepted at first to the army, due to his suffering from schizophrenia(a serious psychological disorder), and he had entered Der Al Saleeb mental institute on various occasions.Then, he goes to the Late Ameed Raymond Edde, who pulls some strings for him and gets him enrolled.I consider that the only mistake Raymond Edde had ever committed.
Moreover,ladies and gentlemen,General Aoun never responds to anything Raymond Edde had to say, or Carlos Edde has to say about him…because they are the ones who benefited him the most, by providing a huge support of crowds mainly from Jbeil Caza, and because their party and they themselves are renowned for their clean history, which no one disputes about.
In 1990, Raymond Edde accused Aoun of dealing with the Syrians in a LE FIGARO interview, and dared him to respond…ever wonder why he didn’t?
Please note that Ameed Raymond, and Ameed Carlos never speak anything absolute or uncertain of, rather everything they say is documented and backed by documents….What about the last time Carlos Edde attacked Aoun on the press a few weeks back? Why was there no response?
Another funny thing is when the aounists attack Gebran Tueni (RIP)…. Who was one of the biggest supporters of Aoun while he was still in Lebanon, and when he was exiled?Who was the only journalist who defended him and wrote for his cause? And suddenly he becomes the enemy, and when he dies we hear them calling ” Na3eeman ya Gebran…”

What a shame…
Go check your history you ignorant people… You are cutting the hand that has nourished you.

….then what?

It’s strange what this country’s coming to. Actually it’s stupid.

Each side is accusing the other of the same things.
Each TV station, newspaper, and radio station informs the way it best fits its leader/owner.
Who can we trust nowadays? How do we know who’s right and who’s wrong?

In my opinion, the media should stop taking sides,and for once truthfully inform the people of what is going on. It should display correct information about all leaders and parties,rather than false ones which make blind followers increase their blindness.Otherwise, no solution can be reached.
Something needs to be done.

Let me know what you think.
