  1. This isn't my photo but its pretty cool, its my great great grandfather's, and its resently been refound. There are only 3 hardcopies of it left(a 1980s copy of the orginal which was taken est. 1876, the orginal is presumed to be destroyed, and 2 versions I printed out), and 1 of his wife(a copy of her portrait, which is possibely destroyed). Profile Profession Summary: He was an important judge (in some records his title translates to grand judge or lord judge) in his time peiod in Lebanon, who was considered a type of "lord", he used his power with wisdom, and tried to uphold justice as best he could, he mainly tried to keep the turks and muslims from forming a group to kill the christians, especially since rise in tensions between maronites and muslims after the ottoman collapse. He loved his first wife and she bore him 12 children but death took her from him, and he married his wife's sister to help him out with the children but she turned out to be a *****. Life Span: 1836-1926(?) His death might be listed eariler then it happened(might be an est.), because his sons fled under his instruction and contact was not easy. Also, this number has been translated from the arabic alphabet into english and overtime the orginal account was lost. Location: Lebanon area Religion: Maronite(Eastern Christian) Name: On his photo it says (in arabic of course): Lord Mikhail Shami The photo: Kind of who I aspire to be like from the accounts I've heard of him.
  2. -Invisible Children -This charity where you give a request set of items to an autistic kid -The Giving Tree at my church And ah, ya good luck with that which you mentioned in your post.
  3. I've kissed my friends who are girls and I'm arabic so we do the double-cheek-kiss-greeting (plus I'm Lebanese and we all know Lebanese girls are hot, you no Shakira is hald Lebanese) thing but I mean I never really had a bf-gf kinda kiss, I've had the chance but its a mix of reserved+snobbish+highexpectation
  4. I live in jersey (NJ), and where I live we still have like 4inches on lawns from saturday, and its frozen solid now since it melted abit then its been 20- for the last several days, so its pretty much white ice.
  5. At my school you get 8/8(16="asked to leave") for cheating, but thats not my motivation. I get so disguisted if I hear someone is cheating, especially if its one of my friends. Cheating is so stupid, your cheating yourself and your taking work that isn't yours, thats just like that family guy episode where albert einstein has that publishing company and he slams the window on the guy's head to get his work. People who cheat are foolish, I'd rather go down trying and fail the test then possiblely get 8/8 and steal someone else's work. If I see anyone cheating off me I frankly in the middle of a test would obnoxiously and clearly say " *beep* you, do your own work, stop cheating off me", its using someone and thats unacceptable. Think about it, you'll cheat in medical school, f up your patient and then get sued lol. If you consider sharing homework cheating, then I kinda have cheated before cuz I'll compare homework and stuff with my friends, but mind you its complete.
  6. I hate when people try and say they aren't X race or cover up their accent, that is who it is, and I'm damn proud to be Lebanese.
  7. I think some people need to be educated about the eastern world, some stupid people think that if your from the middle east you speak arabian, you have to be muslim and the only countries there are Iraq and Afghanistan.
  8. Nice article, anyway when I play rs I play for fun, I think people who aim at fame or "power" need another hobby.
  9. :? I tend to disagree with this. A language is part of one's heritage, and should still be practiced, even in public. Although it is slightly rude to use it if you are having a conversation with multiple people and don't want someone to know what you are saying, I think speaking a different language should fall under freedom of speech. Actually, I would never talk arabic infront of someone who doesn't know it unless I was setting them up for a joke and then I was gonna tell them, but say me and my friends are talkin then my Iranian friend starts talking arabic with me infront of them, thats really rude because how would they know I'm not cursing them out?
  10. Its not like I speak it on the bus, its either before school on the bus, after school on the bus, waiting outside when everyone else is talking. I never try to speak it in front of someone, because thats just a jerkish move, rather we use it to speak faster and something you can't translate literally so it has to be said in arabic so the meaning isnt diluted. Sorry, just wanted to state that so you don't think in the middle of class I start barking my arabic :lol: And yes, American teaching of history is garbage, you do an incomplete World History for like a year and you do American History for like 12(exaggerating). I use to hate history because of the way the school taught it, then in 6th grade my teacher, and long time family friend, showed me the light of International History. And I honestly think we need to teach more current events, like the Christian treatment inn Lebanon. O and I like what Barihawk says:
  11. Can we please discuss more Middle Eastern, less specifically muslim, because I'm christian but I still get just as bad comments.
  12. Keep on topic, and the point of the thread is racism towards MIDDLE EASTERNERS NOT SOLELY MUSLIMS, I'm Maronite which is Eastern orthodox christian and I still recieve middle eastern racist comments, and frankly Lebanon(christians) are warring agaisnt Syrian and Iranian backed Hezbollah so I really don't feel like hearing something like "All of you are the same", and I also don't want to hear something like "All muslims object "westerns" to drop their ways" because although thats happening in Lebanon, thats not true everywere.
  13. No offense but thats one of the presumptions I'm talking about, it isn't racism but its generalization, just because I say Middle Eastern, that doesn't mean I'm talking about Islam. Its not always the big things that are the worst, its sometimes those little thing like categorizing all the Middle Eastern people under Islam(I think Lebanon is 6/4 christian/muslim ratio, might have been equalled, Idr).
  14. During fishing, my friend to lighten things up was saying this RS spoof of hey there dalilah and it made everyone less bored and then when this one jerk tried to insult him everyone told he something along the times of back off to go fly a kite.
  15. Hi everyone, not to annoy you but I have something I wanted to talk with you all about. Well, I started high school this year, and so I come in contact with alot more people then I did when I went to a grammar school with an 8th grade with 42 people. I've made alot of friends, and after you get to know someone, you know, you randomly talk about stuff and sometimes that thing is race/religion. When ever I say I'm Lebanese people always jump to conclusions that I'm a Muslim, a terrorist, or God knows what else. I've gotten alot of insults due to just being Middle Eastern. When I was once telling a story to my old friends from grammar school about how my great great grandpa was a techinal lord of Lebanon (I'm maronite and so was he) and his struggles in his time with the ottomans and muslims someone who was listening goes "who cares, your a bunch of dum rapheads anyway". I have several other arab christian friends who notice arab racism in American, they are Egyptian, Iranian, and Syrian and as soon as you mention your country your asking for an insult. Edit: Also, when I talk with my Egyptian friend in arabic or try writing something in arabic, people think we're talking evily and they freak out. Has anyone else noticed this? Is this a mix of ignorance plus fear and hatred of 9/11? Or has this blindness always existed in America, or does it not exist all together? Edit2: Off topic, I know, but in my opinion I think America shouldn't be in Iraq, rather they should be funding the Lebanese christians agaisnt the bombardment of "God's Army". Edit3: Omg I also hate if how I'm speaking Arabic with my friend(s) and I say Alah which means God, as in the same God thats in Judasim, Islam and Christianity, they assume I'm muslim and they think I'm being a terrorist, I can say something like Alah Owagbar which means like God is the greatest if something falls into my favor, and someone will think I'm going to attack someone, really sad actually lol. Edit4: Idk if this is just coincidental, but my Spainard friend is always fighting with my Armenian/Iraqie friend.
  16. I have thousands of pix of my friends on my computer, but this is the only one with my face in it lol(I don't like pictures): I need a locker cover last year(8th grade) so I took 2 pics from our fairview field trip and just pasted my face over evry1 elses'. [hide=Random pix of my best friends] Trying to look like a documentary guy I think this was our 8th grade ring ceremony. *I have the consent of my friends to use these pictures on the internet[/hide]
  17. was reading McAfee reports on random sites, and I checked the one for neopets because I just say one of their freakin' commercials and Jagex is turning into the guys who own neopets, cuz one of the site reports said something like "I use to play this in my spare time, use to be fun, but now the staff truely shows what it cares for, money>customer satisfacation." Edit: O great and now the angry 8 year old has even more chance of us getting banned. I went hunting once and I was like oh better switch, gl on wateva ur goals are but then 3 lvl100s+ say wait, and they say the more the merrier so I stay, and this obnoxious lvl60 starts cursing through the censors asking what the hell im doin, he didnt say I could stay and I said jagex made the ignore list for people like you, and right before I blocked him I saw him say "******* nob, im gonna report u". Do we really want people to get banned for stupid incidences like that?
  18. You making fun of me cuz I'm lebanese?! lol Anywaaaay, I think there should be more feminine outfits.
  19. I like finding out what i need the day of the skill, just like construction and hunter (even tho I did stock up before farming). Besides, with not exactly knowing what there is to prepare, thats how some people make their fortunes :P. Btw, I think Jagex said in the first diary the life rune was made in RSC but never released and its not going to be, I could be wrong, I am forgetful. EDIT: They also revealed use of eggs in summoning on the last leak of summoning.
  20. For me I can only use Runescape as a way to have fun, I have a very heavy conscience and I'd rather "gut the wound rather then bandage it". If I'm depressed, playing Runescape will only get me more depressed because when I'm upset I question my intelligence, and importance.
  21. I was killing greaters in ogre enclave last year and then some jerk comes along and starts being really annoying, asking for free stuff and I said nope, not from me and he started spamming the chat. While he was spamming he clicked on an ogre mage and died, resulting in me picking up his 180k, and 2k of pretty much every rune except blood and soul.
  22. I think before anyone else posts, I think they should consider reading up on different religions and beliefs before they post lol.
  23. fornoobsake, 2007-1993=14 I'm kinda split, for one side they're doing something agaisnt a set term of contract they agreed to but on the other they are making a living. I don't mean to sound heartless, but they're breaking an agreed contract in my book which is a no-no.
  24. I'm a quite popular person at school and I have many friends, I go out on weekends, and I'm smart but if I ever say I play runescape its like... *silence*. I really don't care, I play here and there and its what I do, up theirs if they're going to be jerks about it.
