I'm not in your democracy where only half to 2/3rd of people even vote

I'm in a much better one where we have one of the highest turnout of voters in the world and are the envy of other democracies because of it

Face the facts, almost everyone knows Australia is better than america

and who cares what YOU want? The point of a democracy is not about what YOU want, it's about EVERYONE having their say whether YOU like it or not.

Maybe you should move to one of those countries where everyone has to vote the way YOU want them to... it should not be up to you or just people with tvs how others vote

If you need tv to tell you who to vote for then that's your problem and sheepleness... but people without tvs should have their say too.

Historically penal colonies have often been used for penal labour in an economically underdeveloped part of a state's (usually colonial) territories, and on a far larger scale than a prison farm. In practice such penal colonies may be little more than slave communities. The British, French, and other colonial empires heavily used North America and other parts of the world as penal colonies to varying degrees, sometimes under the guise of indentured servitude or similar arrangements.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penal_colony

The British used North America as a penal colony through a system of indentured servitude. Convicts would be transported by merchants and auctioned off to plantation owners upon arrival in the colonies. It is estimated that some 50,000 British convicts were sent to colonial America, representing perhaps one-quarter of all British emigrants during the 18th century.[1] The British also would often ship Irish and Scots to the Americas whenever there were rebellions in Ireland or Scotland, and they would be treated similar to the convicts, except that this also included women and children.

[blumpkin blownuts]

so the 3/4 of colonials there due to mercantile pursuits and religious persecution don't even count?
nice try, but no.

How embarrassing for you, yet again

Goals of colonization

Colonizers came from European kingdoms with highly developed military, naval, governmental and entrepreneurial capabilities. The Spanish and Portuguese centuries-old experience of conquest and colonization during the Reconquista, coupled with new oceanic ship navigation skills, provided the tools, ability, and desire to colonize the New World. England, France and the Netherlands started colonies in both the West Indies and North America. They had the ability to build ocean-worthy ships, but did not have as strong a history of colonization in foreign lands as did Portugal and Spain. However, English entrepreneurs gave their colonies a base of merchant-based investment that needed much less government support.[3]
Mercantilism

Mercantilism was the basic policy imposed by Britain on its colonies from the 1660s. Mercantilism meant that the government and merchants based in England became partners with the goal of increasing political power and private wealth, to the exclusion of other empires and even merchants based in its own colonies. The government protected its London-based merchants—and kept others out—by trade barriers, regulations, and subsidies to domestic industries in order to maximize exports from and minimize imports to the realm. The government had to fight smuggling, especially by American merchants, some of whose activities (which included direct trade with the French, Spanish, Dutch, and Portuguese) were classified as such by the Navigation Acts. The goal of mercantilism was to run trade surpluses, so that gold and silver would pour into London. The government took its share through duties and taxes, with the remainder going to merchants in Britain. The government spent much of its revenue on a superb Royal Navy, which not only protected the British colonies but threatened the colonies of the other empires, and sometimes seized them. Thus the British Navy captured New Amsterdam (New York) in 1664. The colonies were captive markets for British industry, and the goal was to enrich the mother country.[4]
Religious persecution

The prospect of religious persecution by authorities of the crown and the Church of England prompted a significant number of colonization efforts. People fleeing persecution by King Charles I were responsible for settling most of New England, and the Province of Maryland was founded in part to be a haven for Roman Catholics.

Exactly as I said, America was a penal colony. Fact. It's not really open for debate you drooling tard.

You said it wasn't, you were wrong.... just embarassing yourself everywhere today aren't you? You need to try and troll someone who is actually dumber than you, that is why you are failing... and that is also why I am so good at trolling everyone :P

[blumpkin blownuts]

It was primarily a mercantile colony.

All I said about it being a penal colony or not was I asked you to find a link, in hopes you could realize on you're own that you are wrong. Should've known you'd cherrypick some lil snippet without reading the whole truth.

America was a penal colony you idiot

it is a fact

not open for debate

LOL @ what an ass you are making of yourself

[blumpkin blownuts]

No it was not.

Guess what, america STILL has prisoners. By your same idiotic logic, that means america is a prison state. The fact is, it's not a prison state it's a free state with prisons.

[blumpkin blownuts]

You can't out-debate me lisa, I'm simply too versatile for you in any application of logic.
You couldn't best me in any academic area, and you can't best me with this babyshit of cherrypicking wikipedia.
