You may vote for yourself,depending upon how much class you have. You may encourage your forum friends to vote for you; all's fair in love and war and scuba contests. You may post comments encouraging others to

If the results are close, we'll have a two-day re-vote for the top three.

Good Luck!!!

Scuba Diving can bring peace to the Middle East by allowing all those who disagree with our humanitarian goals to experience a new type of peace which will occur by seeing the wonders below the surface. The really bad divers might get AGE which will render them incapable of shooting guns, proper training will assure this occurs to the proper individuals. If they can still pull the trigger on their assault rifle at the beach we could immediately attempt an in water decompression dive by placing them on 100% O2 at 50 feet and slowly bring them back up, for safety reasons this needs to take at least 6 hours and we'd want to give them the standard AL19 tank because we don't want to hurt them in their weakened state by carrying something heavy.
I believe scuba has a lot of potential here.

I believe SCUBA diving could bring peace to the Middle East because it will get people wet. I believe the people over there are always in a bad mood because they are so hot, I mean it's just a big desert, and you know how you are always in a bad mood when it's hot right? So if everybody would get wet they would cool off and be in a better mood because the one thing that always helps me get into a better mood is to cool off and one of the best ways to cool off is to get wet. So if everybody was getting wet together everybody would be cooler and then they wouldn't be in such a bad mood and everybody would get along better and we would have peace in the Middle East.....

Obviously scuba diving can bring peace because muslim people arent used to being around water, just like cats dont like being around water. Dogs, of course chase cats, which in turn run into the water. If scuba divers were to chase terrorists into the water, their fur would get all wet and they would have to bathe them selves. Obviously, they will get confused because they wont be able to lick their beards clean. They will then spend the rest of their days on earth trying to clean their beards. (imagine a dog chasing a ball attatched to his neck) With all the muslims busy licking, peace will spread, like such as, like such as.

SCUBA diving can bring peace to the Middle East, because, like, you know -- part of learning to scuba dive is sucking air through those long snorkel things? And then, learning how to hold your breath when you go down without sucking in water through those long snorkel things that look like straws, and if you're holding your breath, you can count slow to 10, like, and then, if you count slow to 10, you're like, not mad anymore? Except that, like, you know,if they're underwater, then they can't breathe, and if they can breathe, then they like, can't be fighting? So that's still a good thing, right?

I think the scuba diving can help to achieve peace in the Middle East by....um like where is the Middle East, I can't go there, I can't like, like find it on a world map....and um like, is that like near um like the Iraq...like the scuba diving might help peace in like the Middle East by helping like the education in the South Africa and um like I forgot the question...was it like um what is 2+2?

I think scuba can bring peace by busying everyone far too much to bother with fighting. By the time they are done learning and getting their cert, they'll discover life is too cool (and watery!) to fight. The only issue we'll face is when they learn about ST and the stock is depleted faster than it can be ordered and.. well, I guess more fighting ensues. Crap!

I believe that SCUBA mans and womans will be able to bring peace to the Middle East because they are the only ones that can visit that place in the middle of the ocean between us and the rest of the world. If more very nice SCUBA persons were to travel to the middle of the ocean to our east they would be nice to the people there and that would make the people there also nice. I believe this would work because all the SCUBA people I have ever met are very nice and wear funny little masks that make me laugh. Laughter is the best remedy and if people are laughing they are more friendly and treat the environment with more respect. When they treat the environment with respect it will look nicer and make people even more happy which will make them more peaceful. A good environment will also reduce teh greenhouse effect and that will cool off the entire world which will make people less cranky and more friendly.
Once SCUBAs solve the peace problem in the ocean we can then hope that the peace will spread to places like Iraq and Saudi Arabia where SCUBA people cannot reach because there is less water.

The people in the Middle East are in big turmoil because they can't figure out where they are. I mean they are in the middle. Not relly East and not west. So If we open a bunch of Sexy Chick Underware, Bras and Accessory shops then all the women can stop wearing those long black robe things and feel better about themselves. The guys would think that was Totally Cool cause now maybe they could dive in and finally get some and then they could both, you know go to the West Indies, to some resort and then they would'nt be stuck in the Middle anymore.

Wait, I didn't understand the question. Vote for me becuase you feel bad that the educational system in the US has let me down. I only made it through on my looks.

Vote!!! Vote!!!! Vote for #5!!!!

Free Audi for everybody that votes for #2!!!!!!*























* This is a joke, and only a joke....There will actually be no free Audi's for anyone...I could send you a free Audi emblem sticker, but that would be silly because you probably don't own an Audi as we have a relatively small maket share in North America.. Plus I would have to charge you shipping which wouldn't really make it free. So you'd be paying shipping charges that would cost probably 5 times what the sticker is actually worth, which wouldn't make sense at all, so nevermind on the free stickers as well. Thank you for your votes!!
