I've just had a bright idea :idea:
Actually, it really wasn't MY idea so to speak, I saw it on a film, but here goes. What if we made one country into a giant penal colony? I'm thinking one of those countries or even just an island that doesn't really matter like hmmmm Hawaii, or maybe a country that already has loads of criminals in it like a middle eastern country. All we'd have to do is put barbed wire around the edge. What do you think?

OOC
All we got out of it was Foster's beer and Russel Crowe.

.... AND NEIGHBOURS!!!!!!

Neighbors?

is that movie Johnny English?

:tantrum: Ok guys, world peace is a pretty important issue, and I want you to consider this rationally. If we use Hawaii.... what's the problem?

This Idea has been tried! let see America was filled with prisoners to get out of goverment hiar and also Australa Look what happen there they became Great nations ! so you might reconcider your Idea.

Firstly, yes, Neighbours spelt the ENGLISH way. It's a TV program. Secondly, that film WAS Jonny English and it SUCKED ASSSSSSS. Thirdly, to the last point, before you challenge me on my own topic, learn to spell. Plus America wasn't inhabited by criminals, I think you'll find originally it was the Spanish who came over, then in the 18th century settlers also decided to take over the land. They weren't sent there because they comitted crimes. Foolio.

there's supposed to be an "H" on johnny.. :evil:

I'm terribly sorry if I mis-spelt someone's name. It's just that I have a friend called Jonny, spelt WITHOUT an H. I get easily confused, my apologies go out to all those that I offended.

:D

Fogive me for my spelling error as some people do have issues with things such as dysexyia and have strugled verry hard to get where I am at now with this difficult situation. I siad nothing on the fact whether it was the english or spanish that came over and the Queen of Spain did give cristopher columbous a crew of criminals to sail to Amirica with. Also Austriala was a pennal institution if my history serves my memory right.

Ps. Iam not trying to be rude just pointing out flaws in your plan although there will probly never be world peace even though we would sure love to see it happen. :D :arrow:

i think a penal colony is an excellent idea, get rid of all the criminals and dump them in a barren wasteland, it would be better for everyone. (Johnny English may not be the best film i've ever seen but you can't deny Rowan Atkinson's comic quality)

People always use dyslexia as an excuse for typos. It seems every time I correct someone for their spelling (as you corrected me for my plan flaws), they always say "I'm dyslexic". Well, you seem to be able to spell dyslexia alright, which is ironic, because dyslexia isn't one of the easier words to spell, well, not compared with 'their' anyway. And we won't ever have world peace if people keep being pedantic either. So stop it.

pedantic

adj : marked by a narrow focus on or display of learning especially its trivial aspects

Whom is pedantic? your the one whom jumped me about a spelling error not I you. so I'll leave it at that for it is no use in arguing about I tryed to aplogize to you and explain my situation and i personly never seen eny one use the excuse of dyslexia befor. Sorry your idea is not well taken in my eyes .

OK well I belive mabey the best way for world peace is in education of the nations and Good parents whom will take responcibility for thier childrens actions

hawaii does matter.

Centy, I'm sorry. There, are you happy? Hawaii doesn't matter but is a very nice place to go on holiday. Maybe we could make it into a penal colony/ tourist attraction with games such as "Shoot the rapist" etc

Go Australia
i gotta support my country some how

Yes. Australia rules. Now back to the world peace issue......

Have you no idea how important this is?!!!! Of course we'll never achieve world peace if you're so apathetic towards the issue! Come on, people, make a difference!

World peace can never be achieved. It's human nature to have wars. When will people ever realise this?
Also, don't send them to Hawaii. That would be sending convicts, criminals, to paradise! We did that once before and look what happened: Australia.
Don't think I need to say more...

Firstly, I addressed the issue of colonising Hawaii with criminals. Did you not read the "Shoot the Rapist" game? Also, we have already covered the whole Australia issue, note that Fosters, Russel Crowe and Neighbours are all excellent things.

No-one with me on the whole world peace thing then?

World Peace? ....maybe
With you? .....ummm, no

I find that slightly upsetting. I am, after all, what I would consider to be a plucky young girl whose face isn't THAT grotesque. Still, if you swing THAT way, well..... not my problem I guess.

I find that slightly upsetting as I am what I would consider to be a plucky young girl whose face isn't THAT grotesque. Still, if you swing THAT way.... not my problem.

world peace will never be achieved as long as people have something to say. Opinions... arguments... clashes... :arrow:

Excuse me but, WTF are you taking about???

I think you know, matey boy. Don't even get me started. This is a switch you don't wanna flip *Mr. Furious impression*
