Did you not understand something about america being a penal colony too?
I'm not going to debate this with a half wit who has never posted an actually correct fact in his life.
You are basically the case in point.
Have a nice day.
It has to do with current prison populations in the world you utter moron
You might like to note that your country is worse than russia
looking it up, Bringin you the Facts! You heard it here first:
-britain sent an estimated 50,000 convicts from debtors prisons to north american penal colonies in the 18th century
-after the revolutionary war, britain started sending them to australia and elsewhere instead
- Between 1788 and 1868, approximately 162,000 convicts were transported to the various Australian penal colonies by the British government.
Thoughts/opinions: Sounds like australia was a bigger shithole than north america at the start; just sayin
I love watching dipshits argue about nonsense
We aren't discussing the state of affairs in the world 200 years ago you dumb shit. So you just found out america was also a penal colony... Well done dipshit.
plug drugs: I'll refer you to this wikipedia article that doesn't support my position but I'm pretending it is relevant to this conversation
lisa: oh well I don't need any proof because I have preconceived notions which are correct 100% of the time you bushpig loser!
plug drugs: if you do the math, by which I mean read a wiki page about calculus, you'll see that the answer is clearly 5
lisa: you people are all losers, and as a mental deficient who's been living on the dole for like 15 years I know a thing or two about losers
plug drugs: according to my wikipedia page I've never held a job but I know how to do long division and have convinced myself that's better than having anything to show for my life
lisa: I have two degrees and an xbox and 3 ps3's my life is better than yours
plug drugs: I studied advanced wikipedia algebra and have 7 watches my life is better than yours
everyone else: actionstar clicks add to ignore list button actionstar
Not one thing you've ever said about me is true maks (aside from the fact I'm 100% right.... Oh yeah and I do have two degrees) make up some more bullshit about me maks, see if that changes any of the facts
nobody wanted to get shipped off to an uninhabited wilderness; by the time we got things set up over here though, people were BEGGING to get on the boats to get out of that shitpool called Europe..
Have Europeans ever begged to go to Australia to get out of Europe?
plug drugs and lisa: I have really strong opinions on a variety of subjects I know next to nothing about
do you know what refugees are? Idiot.
So the answer is yes
if that was true then you should know that there was never a colony called 'america', there were a variety of colonies on the american continents owned by a variety of european powers and there was never any sort of homogeny until the late 18th century when they banded together to declare independence
but lets not let facts get in the way of your strong opinions and belief of how things ought to be, go on keep writing walls of text on a foundation of ill conceived horseshit
lisa is always automatically right no matter how verifiably incorrect she might be
Plug drugs and maks, americans proving case in point.
