#3 At least the Turks had the decency to sell life jackets to these people before they got into the boats. And it's a good bet that not one of them ever learned to swim.

#5 Are their sharks in the Mediterranean? Can we make it happen? Or at least stock with ill tempered sea bass with frickin lasers on their heads?

#8 Should have paid for the upgrade to the premium service.

Funny how the reporting never mentions the money involved and where it comes from. A few million migrant colonists X a few thousand per head and we are talking billions of dollars.
