So now that we've conquered Haiti, what should we do with it?

[David Floyd]

I always thougth Jurasic Park would have required a bigger island in real life. Resort on the Dominican Republic side, safari on the Haitian side.

That makes two votes for "Theme Park"

Haiti could set up a massive immigration incentive scheme for French people.

Once fully successful, everyone will be happy. Except possibly the French, but that can't be helped. They're always complaining about something.



The above could also be combined with the Jurassic Theme Park idea, at little extra cost, for vastly increased awesomeness.

[SlowwHand]

Right. Haitians would rather keep digging mass graves than have more French involvement.
Are you trying to get the people who remain to commit suicide?

[David Floyd]

If they all commit suicide, does that mean we can stop sending foreign aid?

[SlowwHand]

[David Floyd]

Hmmm. I might need to rethink my Theme Park idea, and change it to Suicide Cult

[Kidlicious]

Test Obamacare on them first?

Forgive their debt for starters.

The Haitian government should adopt a modern earthquake resistant building code for the whole of Haiti. That would prevent this magnitude of a disaster from happening again in Haiti. Older buildings should be required to be retro-fitted with modern quake resistant materials.

[David Floyd]

Forgive their debt for starters.

**** that. To quote Coolidge, they hired the money, didn't they?

If anything, any money they are getting because of the hurricane should be added onto their debt.

[Boris Godunov]

Evacuate the country. I think France should have to take most of the refugees as reparations for slavery, colonialism, etc.

Then sell the country off to cruise lines and other developers to build luxury resorts all over the place. Former Haitian residents get profit sharing in whatever gets built.

[David Floyd]

I'm good for that, except for the profit sharing. If they want profit sharing, they can get a job scrubbing the decks of luxury liners.

I say we make it a theme park for the antebellum south.

[Japher]

Penal Colony

[Boris Godunov]

I'm good for that, except for the profit sharing. If they want profit sharing, they can get a job scrubbing the decks of luxury liners.

Paying them off will be the only way to get them to leave the country.
