I was driving down the seaside road the other day and I was struck by a billboard that read "Didn't you get used to it? Let Trident be your refreshing habit"... The habit that Trident marketing geniuses were referring to was traffic! Not only did I find the slogan stupid and lacking creativity but also infuriating... It's a shame that marketing experts are now encouraging apathetic behaviors and inviting people to be passive...

No, it is not okay that Lebanese youth are fighting another country's war. 
No, it is not okay that most young people's ambitions are limited to immigration and acquiring dual citizenships. 
No, it is not okay that people still follow their political leaders blindly in spite of their proven record of corruption and criminality.
No, it is not okay to live in uncertainty and keep waiting for the next war.
No, it is not okay that foreign countries decide on our future president and wage our future wars.
No, it is not okay that the majority of the population has lost hope and gave up on the country.
No, it not okay that people say "we got used to it" as if that was their only choice.
