I'm waiting for No Survivor - Damnation Island

Bunch of stupid people (people who watch reality shows are very good candidates) are shipped of to a desert Island were there is nothing but sand, there they are kept for two days and after two days you realease hungry lion to chase them down, when one stupid people is left, we get him of the island and put him on a pedestal... and shoot him in the head...

Thats the show I'm taping!
When you say stupid people do you mean people that say stuff like, "you release hungry lion to chase them down". Or maybe "when one stupid people is left". Or people that use commas instead of periods, put capital letters where they dont belong? Or maybe just people that want to see someone get shot in the head for the entertainment value? [/QUOTE]Should you really be picking on someone who is a non-native speaker of the language? IMO, that is absolutely against the international spirit of IWF. Some people learn the majority of their English here, and that is a good thing in my opinion. Please don't stymie them to satisfy some need for a smarmy put-down. [/QUOTE]I was replying to what I percieved as a smarmy putdown Timber...."Bunch of stupid people (people who watch reality shows are very good candidates)" I enjoy watching some reality shows and I am far from stupid. Maybe I took it a little to personal. As for "picking on" a non native speaker of english, it appeared to me that Jorath was just being careless with his typing since all his spelling was perfect. My sincerest apologies to Jorath if he is a non native speaker of english. Although I have serious doubts about people who want to see someone get shot in the head....even as a joke.
