Hasbeen,

Foxy, please tell me which of of the republics mentioned you would like to live in, whether Presidential Republics, Semi-Presidential Republics, and Parliamentary Republics. Most if not all of them are the "stink-holes,"

The only monarchy I wouldn't live in is Hassyland of Bongocongo where King Hassy I is the absolute ruler!

Hasbeen,

The Baltic States of Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia,
are republics, and beautiful countries. But due
to Putin eyeing them - and with what's happening in
the Ukraine - it would be risky going there to live.

Ireland on the other hand - may be a good place.
But what's wrong with staying in Australia?
Why go to any other country?

I don't understand your thinking.

Foxy
Of course not, but you are responsible for your own, and slipshod usage from one who boasted of an English Degree and used that as a putdown on another poster is not really acceptable.

Just that I expected better usage from one with a Master’s Degree.
is Mise,
Wow, I didn't even expect that much, I'm rather surprised !
