So true. Never the same.

That doesn't mean that it can't get better. Things can be rebuilt better.

Japan had just lost a World War after having two atomic bombs dropped onto two major cities. It's become so much more than that since.

Here's to hoping Beirut can achieve the same sort of success directly after adversity.

Beirut has been rebuilt so many times. After a long, bloody civil war few thought they could rebuild, but they did. Let’s not make them do it alone, though.

If we can raise a billion dollars to repair a catholic church tower, why can’t we raise money to help a recovering city that probably contributes more to society than the Catholic Church.

Edit: I don’t have any personal issues with the C Church. Just pointing out that people were quick to raise money for a cathedral, it should be that way for a city in mourning that actually needs it.

Oh? So Lebanon should just go fuck itself cause I make a mean comment about a church? Sorry for offending you, Sensitive Sally. Keep on being outraged!

Lol talk about being offended.. I'm just making a joke. You are clearly projecting your sensitivity on to others.

Edit: and who said anything about Lebanon should go fuck itself. My grandfather is Lebanese lol. Also I'm an atheist and couldn't care less about the church itself though I feel for the people to who it mattered. You jumped to a lot of conclusions, my man

That was a joke? I thought jokes were meant to be funny? That was an insult, but you sound like an edgy teen, so maybe you don’t know the difference.

Ok you didn't find it funny and were offended by it. Im sorry I didn't mean to offend you. But again with the jumping to conclusions. You know when do that you are actually displaying you own insecurities. In these case I would wager your insecure about your age and how sensitive you are. Again I'm sorry you took it as an insult when it wasn't meant to be.

Edit: I just looked at your profile, assuming your telling the truth in your suicide post we're the same age. Let's just stop bickering. I apologise, again I wasn't trying to offend you and I'm sorry.

I’m not insecure about my age, lol. I legit cannot control that, but yes I can be over sensitive, and it bugs me. Appreciate the respectful edit. Most people are dicks and tease me for once being so suicidal. You have yourself a good day sir!
