For the purposes of this poll, assume you have constant access to potable water and food.  :)

Kerguelen seems like it would be the coldest to me.

Ile St Paul has hot springs so that would be cool...

But I think I will go with the Cretan one.  Having my own Mediterranean Island cannot be passed up.

Hans Island, only the hyperbole would grow tiresome.

I don't care where as long as a planeload of horny cheerleaders crash on the island as well...

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

They're not uninhabited, are they?  Isn't Diego Garcia in that group?

Diego Garcia is there, but most of the islands are uninhabited, and it's kinda far away.  It's one of the main places people sailing around the world go to to see an uninhabited tropical island.

Diego Garcia isn't the musician, it's the actor. They're easy to confuse, though.
