Sleeping late, aren’t you...been up since 4AM here. The early bird...
In the past, it would have been Australia. Not so much, anymore.
Perhaps Switzerland or some of the Caribbean islands. Austria.
The places to seek refuge from the storms are dwindling, now that America has gone away.
You may disagree.
I talk often with Australians via HAM Radio and when I ask if there are any quiet, peaceful places near the sea, they tell me there are tons of them. Not the large cities though.

I always get up early, but not at 4 am. I just don't start posting till I've done other things.
If we were going to leave America, it would probably be either to Canada or Norway, assuming either would have us. lol
One thing we can both agree on -- it seems that America has given up her leadership role in the world. We are rapidly descending into a Balkanization of the once-United States.

My esposa sleeps late, I usually stop posting when she arises.
Canada and the Scandinavian countries are possibilities. When I was in Switzerland, the hotel had free cake and pastries every afternoon. A good reason to settle there.
I enjoyed my three years in Spain. It's a possibility. Very low cost of living when I was there, a few decades ago.
I spent a year on a small island off the southern tip of Greenland, near the Arctic Circle. Average year round temperature was 0 degrees, saw -60 once. It would take three or more strong men to get me back there.

That's a bit too chilly even for me. Switzerland is lovely. My maternal g-ma was born there. My middle daughter and her husband traveled there three years ago and found the little village where she was born.
Do you have cable/satellite? You might enjoy this program. It features ppl -- usually American but not always -- looking to set up shop in other countries from S. America to Africa to Asia to Europe to Australia to NZ. It's a good way to get an idea of what housing costs are there. They almost always look for homes in larger cities.

Switzerland is a semi-direct democratic federal republic. Since 2011 the leading parties are from the right wing (Swiss People's Party, a right-wing nationalist party). The federal legislative power is vested in the two chambers of the Federal Assembly, the National Council and the Council of States.
I will accept your surrender and your back-handed, couched in bullshit admission that I have you beaten.
To sit there on your fat, pale, pasty-white Idahick ass and say the only things I have offered are emoticons and a couple of ad homs, is just beyond the pale and yet another example of how sleazy and desperate you are to prop up a flimsy appearance of having been an even moderately formidable opponent to me in this whole thing.
I fully understand what the BS SA document is saying about the different categories of supposed racism that they claim is still such a serious issue that it negatively affects the lives of black people by holding them back from advancement and holds them down on the bottom rung of society.
I happen to disagree with it as to the level of severity and I also do not agree that any negative perception of blacks by not only whites, but by Hispanics and Asians as well, is completely the fault of non-blacks. Black people IMO, continue to put forth a negative image of themselves by their own actions and behaviors and as such, are doing more to hold themselves back than anyone.
The kind of nasty, angry, violent, sexist, misogynistic and pornographic music they produce and listen to, the gangsta looking style in which young black males dress with their baggy shorts below their asses, the types, level and rate of street crimes, gang and drug activity they engage in, etc., etc.
As for the apology issue.... IDGAF to who or how the document suggests white people should apoloigize, the very idea that we owe an apology to anyone simply for being born white and for societal injustices that happened before most of us was born or while we were young children, is abhorrent and absurd.
You go around repenting, lamenting and apologizing for being white all you want to.
And while you're at it, apologize to the enire world for being born who you are and for growing up to be such an idioic douchebag.
Because THAT is the apology you really owe.
C'MON MAN!!!!
