    This is great news. I’ve been wanting to live in SA for decades but the only thing keeping me away was no liquor stores. Now they will have one, it is now a full fledged paradise.

    I’m not spoiling to move to SA. But I think I’d do okay there.

    I mean, it’s not like I’d have hankering to burn the Koran, in a public place, or fornicate in the street.

    That would be straight out of the Russian playbook. The Russians even have a term for it. Kompromat. It is a business tool for them. Now ask yourself who did a lot if business with russia long before he became a politician and has a thing for young women.

    You would do well to take a 2-3 week vacation there before making any permanent moves

    But you did say that you could do ok there. Unless you define being miserable as ok, then I would presume to do ok there.

    Correct, I don’t see myself getting thrown in jail there because I’d have no basis for making a scene or doing what I damn well please because Murica.

    Should we take up a collection and buy him a (one-way) ticket?

    No, I think he should jump in with both feet. Leave the old way of life (and the computer) behind. Burn the U.S. passport once he clears immigration and swear allegiance to the King.

    I think he would enjoy lots of dates there.

    Seems like things are improving over time but between the climate, alcohol regulations, dress code restrictions, and discrimination against women, can't say that it sounds like a great time to me.
