Seems like at least half of the population could just let nature take its course over the side of the ship if the toilets were that bad LOL.

"So stay there next time"--Ditto that! I don't know about you, but I'm really tired of the whiners. They're lucky to be out of there and too stupid to realize it.

...describe their 13-hour voyage...

Oh, goodness. At least you're alive.

I work in the oil & gas industry, offshore in the Gulf of Mexico, and routinely take 12 hour crew boat rides to the job site. I'll bet the ship they were on rode a lot better than a 40 ft. crewboat.

Suck it up and thank God you're alive.

So the word 'refugee' has disappeared from the lexicon?

They were being evacuated from a war zone.

I think they may have been watching too many cruise ship commercials and were expecting round-the-clock buffets and salad bars, in between swims in one of the pools and visits to the saunas and hot tubs.

If they ever have to be air-lifted, they're going to insist on luxury helicopters with snacks and wine served during the evacuation flight.

Let me add my name to those who are sick and tired of people expecting their government to make up for their lack of planning.

>:-(

Canadians, Canadian government arrangements, Canadian Prime Minister.


Must be Bush's fault.

Life's Gonna Suck by Dennis Leary
This s a special moment right now,
We'd like to take this time to tell all the kids at home,
Send your parents out of the room this is a kid's song.
Life's gonna suck when you grow up,
When you grow up, when you grow up
Life's gonna suck when you grow up,
It sucks pretty bad right now.

Hey! If you know the words, Sing along!

You're gonna hafta mow the lawn,
Do the dishes, make your bed.
You're gonna hafta go to school until you're seven-teen.
It's gonna seem about three times as long as that

You might have to go to war, shoot a gun, kill a nun.
You might have to go to war, when you get out of school.
Hey cheer up kids, it gets a lot worse.

You're gonna hafta deal with stress
Deal with stress, deal with stress.
You're gonna be a giant mess
When you get back from the war.

Santa Clause does not exist, and there's no Easter Bunny,
You'll find out when you grow up, that Big Bird isn't funny.
(funny, funny, hahahahaha!)

Life's gonna suck when you grow up,
When you grow up, when you grow up
Life's gonna suck when you grow up,
It sucks pretty bad right now.

You're gonna end up smoking crack, on your back, face the fact.
You're gonna end up hooked on smack, and then you're gonna die.

And then you're gonna die-ie-ie-ie-ie.

Something for the kids,
Well, I think I smell a lawsuit in that one, What do you think?

I think they should hire a cruise ship and take them back to Lebanon in style.

Just sickening to see these complainers ... and to think the tax payer has to pick up the bill for these ungrateful brats ... I say we let them walk out of a war zone next time.

And we all thought Canadians were all patient, calm, polite folk!

Swhat-ya for vacationing in a war-zone.

Yeah, as far as I'm concerned anyone with Canadian citizenship stupid enough to move back to Lebanon (and most of these people are/were residents there) has NO right to expect the Canadian people to bail them out. As if anyone couldn't see that Lebanon sits in the middle of a very volatile region, with a very unstable government. The only people who have a right to expect to be evacuated from Lebanon are those who are there working for the Canadian gov't. And maybe tourists, although again choosing such a volatile place to vacation would seem to be a particularly poor choice.
