I dont want this thread to turn into hate towards lebanese, but everyone knows that lebanese life style is different than any other arab country, thus the people who live such a life style have to become different. Its not arogance, but a way of life. AS for the accent, I guess people love it becuase it doesnt have that roughness in it, and the combination of french with english makes it even cuter. Some Arabs see if as bad thing and accuse us of denying our arab heritage, but then again half of the khaliji conversations are filled with english and indian words that have penetrated the conversation and become part of daily dialog, I mean DREIWER, ie driver in qatari, cataloj ie catalog...at least lebanese use the correct french word in their conversation and not a twisted version of it.Bottom line is, different cultures diffenrt people, u love them, hang out with them, you dont love them...just avoid them...Everybody's happy
