Foolish Lebanese nationalism: Lebanon is more than a homeland: it is an unfunny joke
Lebanese national insanity has no bounds. Look at this: "Lebanon's Red Cross shows an aerial view of the biggest handprint painting measuring 4,600 square meters created by youth members of the Lebanese Red Cross which broke a new Guinness world record at the Sports City Stadium in Beirut." And "Keeping its political strife aside, Lebanon unveiled the world’s biggest wine glass measuring 2.4m*1.65m displayed at a wine festival in Beirut where the Guinness World Records adjudicator declared it to be the world’s biggest, beating the previous record of Portugal for 12 years."
