  1. I think the Singaporeans could just all move to Australia. There's plenty of empty space there. Heck I bet we could even find a place for them. It's kind of crazy them trying to fill the ocean up for some land to live on.

  3. Why can't Singaporeans just move to where there's land? Less than 6% of the Earth's surface is populated. There's land that's just going begging to have people living on it. There's a phrase for filling in the ocean. It goes like this, shoveling shit against the tide. It means participating in a hopeless task.

  12.  @vennsim71  I'm sure my country could fit them all in somewhere. There's towns out west just begging for people.

  14.  @anujmchitale  what rules do Singaporeans object to that other western countries have? Or is it just the rule of Law in general that they have a problem with?

  15.  @anujmchitale  it worked for the people of the other country, didn't it? They all just showed up one day and started living lives themselves.

  18. Singapore should just move to where there's land. They could colonize Australia or something. There's plenty of empty space there.
