Mediterranean nation faces cemetery chaos as hundreds of bodies wash ashore (country, people)

[Workin_Hard]

I don’t see a problem here. Wouldn’t quick cremation with the ashes scattered back at sea be a logical answer?

Authorities in Tunisia are weighing the construction of new cemeteries amid a recent swell of migrants washing ashore after drowning in the Mediterranean Sea.

…

Local morgues and cemeteries are reportedly overflowing as funerals are held every day for the many bodies that have been found on the Tunisian coast.

The world is overpopulated. Cremation is going to become the only option.

The country is largely desert, find a spot and create a paupers field for those unfortunates.

All these people who say that we should feed the hungry in third world countries don't realize there's consequences to those actions because they breed like rabbits. If you think of it from an evolutionary and natural selection standpoint it may seem cruel but educating them would be better than giving them handouts. This whole hand out bailout mentality goes contrary to basic natural selection.

Humans like to act on their emotions and compassion is a nice thing to have but excess compassion or compassion applied incorrectly can end up backfiring. It pays to think things through using your prefrontal cortex and make logical choices rather than just going blindly forward based on how you feel. Of course, evolution means people aren't necessarily going to do this because it's very difficult.

Most of the world has some sort of religious upbringing and that’s not gonna fly. Sorry, but nature, or man kind thins us out one way or another. Be it wars, famine, illness, or natural disaster, or just aging out. They are more worried of no new births, so your thinking won’t be popular.

This is Europes fault for encouraging it. Im positive their citizens would vote to stop accepting boatloads of crossers.

Just give them burial at sea

What are that country's religious requirement for such handling of dead? What we might see as the most efficient just simply may not be their way.

No. Bodies are ALWAYS buried, never cremated.
