If you think that was a nasty trip to escape a war zone, maybe the next time you get yourselves in a crack you can try this on for size...

I remember watching the evacuation from Saigon. Mothers throwing their kids at US soldiers, anything to get them out and to safety. These whiners should have their pictures posted in the press with a Boo-Hoo stamped over it.
Gee whiz.
Next time go somewhere else for vacation.
Yep. I has to do with how they were brought up. Expectations, gratitude and that sort of thing.
I was thinking about the recent cruise ship mishap. I'll bet the air conditioning worked fine and there was plenty of water, right up until the passengers ended up standing on the walls.
Well, they could have stayed in Lebanon. Otherwise it just, bitch, bitch, bitch.
Did they say it with a Fwench accent?
That was my first thought also.
Coulda been worse if they only had Ozarka available!
Beggers can't be choosers.
This is the kind of whiny-assed attitudes that socialism breeds. Sick freaks.
Whine whine whine.....they should have stayed in Lebanon.
They knew they lived or visited in a dangerous area.
I am sick of these ingrates.

I wish I could take credit for it, but no. I think one of my kids (now 26 & 24 years old) sent me the audio a few years back and I thought it funny. There is so much in life where it applies, and this is one way to laugh about it!
"There was no air conditioning and they ran out of water," one young women told reporters before storming on board the waiting buses laid on by the Canadian government.
FGS! It was 13 HOURS!!!
Would you take a piss in front of 1,000 peeps on the boat?
Looks like the Canadian Government was chartable this time, may want to take the time a read this page to get an idea what your passport fee pays for..
"In emergencies
Assist in arranging evacuation in the event of war, civil unrest or a natural disaster"
says nothing about paying for it or it being comfortable, see below.

(example) from website
"Renée is visiting an archeological site near Lima, Peru, when a civil war breaks out. She calls the Canadian Embassy in Lima to find out if they can help her leave the country. A consular official tells her that they can assist her but that she will have to sign a document stating she will repay the costs of her evacuation. That night, she and other Canadians gather at a hotel. They are then escorted to a military airport and flown to Ecuador, the nearest safe location. They are all informed that the Embassy does not pay for any costs associated with their evacuation to Ecuador.
