<--- Why Not??

Why? It's not like they planned for the earthquake and I'm sure they planned the trip much further in advance than last week.
So is it ethical for cruise ships to be stopping through ports in Haiti that were less affected by the quake?
To tell you the truth..I don't really think it matters either way.
It's like telling people to not visit Sri Lanka because a tsunami rolled through. Maybe not completely comparable but I really don't see anything wrong with it.
Listen, someone/someplace in the world suffers everyday. There's always a drought, always famine and always a disaster. Do I encourage people sailing to Haiti to donate? Of course...
But I have no problem with them continuing the cruise they paid for months in advance.
If people had the energy and drive to help out everyday like we're seeing in Haiti...the world be in a lot better shape. Unfortunately it takes a deadly and devastating earthquake to propel people into action.
SHOULD CRUISE SHIPS BE STOPPING THROUGH HAITI????
Everyone everywhere wants to help Haiti now...why aren't we doing the same in somolia or the like...
ReplyDeleteIt's the same old stuff coming from Hollywood...donate money to one cause on impulse but not to the rest of the world which is suffering too.
I think it will help create a little more normalcy in the lives of people in Haiti.
ReplyDeleteActually...I don't think they are as far from normalcy right now as you think..there are just no buildings.
