Not everything requires money, you need first to stimulate the people, make events and venues for amateurs. After that will some people decide to go pro, but no one will go right away to decide to become a professional olympic kayak rower for example.
That's where the responsibility of those wankers in the committee is. |
With a GDP/capita equaling more than double that of Lebanon, and a population that is MORE than double of ours, I think it's safe to say that Hungary is much richer than Lebanon, by head, and in total!
Plus, let's not forget the great history Hungary has. Up until the begin of the 20th century, it formed one of the oldest and greatest empires in the world. Lebanese were still waiting to find out what a potato was...
And furthermore, it is a country that has known the discipline of Communist ideology... Lebanon has known 15 years of civil war...
Let's not compare Lebanon to Hungary, but perhaps to another country, as poor, as small, and that also has had its share of wars...
