Could some cruise ships pick up people? They are set up hundreds of people
and if they could feed and house and transport, would that be a possibility? Anyone have any relationship to any of these companies?

I just cannot fathom that these people are not getting the most basic of needs met, while trillions have been spent murdering innocents in other countries. It is sickening.

1. Put those poor blacks on our nice cruise ships?
Shit, I suppose you want us to feed 'em too?
Your out of your mind.

4. What about all of the f*cking Navy shipsand the nuclear subs that were con
vient, just by chance, near Sumatra?

I hope that the survivors create a massive class action suit and combine with the families of 9/11 and Iraq, and that they prosecute the WAR CRIMINAL CLUB and send them all to the HAGUE, for all of the deaths that they have created.

2. Sorry... there's a dress code.
Can't have all those folks trackin' their muddy shoes through the nice boats now, can we?

No money in that.

5. NPR reported that
Carnival Cruise Lines has 2 ships that home port is NO. Both were far out to sea. One will arrive tomorrow to help with evacuations.

7. Unbelievable!! Only took a week. Hopefully they will be able to help. Hell
that should give people free trips and let NoHomeland Sec. pick up the flipping tab.


Better yet, how about pulling all of the troops and Nat. Guard out of Iraq and let them do their job, helping people in disasters.

6. Supposedly, Carnival Was Considering It
They said something about working out the logistics.

I think the real problem is, Carnival Cruise Lines is a company, set up to make money. If they are housing refugees, they are not taking in revenue, but are spending money. That would be a pretty big financial commitment. So, my question is, why wouldn't the federal government or NGOs or whatever ofter to pay Carnival's costs, then ask television and media outlets to "promote" Carnival's good deed - sure to result in increased bookings for Carnival.

8. Exactly, it would be cheaper than Hali-Burn-them, and their food does not
have schrapnel in it....Maybe Rudy could be the cruise Director.

Geez-us, when will these MURDERERS be locked up and Adults put in charge...none of this would have ever happened if intelligent people were running things.

If they can spend Trillions on illegal war, they can spend whatever it takes to save these people that were unprotected because of B*shler's Idiot Math, to avert money that would have protected and instead sent it to kill innocents.
