Well I see it as 1000 or more LESS suicide bombers to worry about....

I find that pretty offensive. Not everyone are suicide bombers.

I hope as many people as possible survive this awful incident.

Watch it ...

Surely the rescue effort should have been better than that ... i mean, 1000 people? Jeez ...

The first people to be aware of an incident were... RAF Kinloss in Scotland.

For a ferry sinking in the Red Sea...

You know just because they are arab doesnt mean theyre all bad. In kuwait you dont have insurance because anything bad that happens is seen as the will of god and so the government will pay for it. And no one there is unemployed. They will just create a job for you if you havent got one. And when you get married the goverment gives you some land and 75k.

That is quite possibly the most ignorant comment I have ever read on GTP, short of Viper Zero calling me a "tool."

I therefore dub thee... IGNORAMUS!

You know there are families and children and mothers and fathers and people in love and best friends in the Middle East as well. This disgusting attitude, whether you meant it as a joke or not, does nothing to help the situation in the world today. It's racist, prejudiced, and stereotypical.

Good job, wheellift! Let's just give them the ammunition to blast the United States.

 

[Sphinx]

That is quite possibly the most ignorant comment I have ever read on GTP.

Ditto.

Say something like this again and you'll have one less forum membership to worry about.

Understood?

He called you a tool? Wow... now I feel better about being called an "idiot".

After reading the article... damn, I thought it was only our local registry that had such a bad safety record. (In 1987, we had the second worst non-military maritime disaster in history, with over 2000 lost). Someone at that registry is going to get sacked for sure after this.
