A refugee camp? Is this for real?




The disabled Carnival Cruise ship is being compared to a refugee camp.  Really?  That is a valid comparison?  I feel like that is an insult to refugees worldwide.  I’m sure that sleeping on couches rather than in cabins was inconvenient.  I bet it sucked waiting in long lines for food.  HOWEVER, they had couches to sleep on and food to eat.  A luxury that many inside and outside the US do not have.  We have become such an entitled people!!  The cruise line is refunding the cost of the cruise, giving them another cruise as well as $500 cash, yet, that isn’t good enough.  I can’t wait to see the law suits start flying just so I can get a glimpse of the financial payout for the pain and suffering of having to share cell phone chargers!!  The atrocity!!  Certainly their experiences are right up there with that of the other tragedies of our country such as the slave trade and the Trail of Tears.  If I have to endure any more coverage of the cruise ship “survivors” I may gouge out my own eyes.
