Re: Which of these is true today?
I think the notion that everyone lives where they live through 100% choice indicates a complete lack of real world understanding, experience, maturity and plain common sense.
Of course people find themselves in circumstances which dictate that they have to live in a certain area, even a certain country, that if they had complete choice over every aspect of their lives they wouldn't be in.
So, do people choose to be poor? To people choose to have disabilities? Do people choose to have all manner of other problems? Because according to your 'reasoning', renth and kporte, everyone has total choice. Surely you don't actually think that having actually reflected a little bit more rationally on it?

Be where you are happy - it's not rocket science or difficult to achieve.

Err, I wasn't really contesting his point, was I. I think you'll find I was contesting his delivery and tone.

Just answered that question above. You must be quite naive if you REALLY cannot fathom that at all.

Re: Which of these is true today?
You, whoever you are (''it's not my real name'' etc etc etc) represent all that is wrong with these sorts of forums. The poster who thinks he's got it all sorted. The poster who is incredibly, narcissistically pleased with themselves. The poster who can't, simply can't, resist any opportunity to be condescending and smug; rude and insulting, even. The poster who, despite being all of these things, is always convinced that they have the moral high-ground in the debate. The poster who doesn't contribute to the discussion, any discussion, other than to interject with what they clearly perceive to be a devastating witticism that they have conjured up and been chuckling to themselves about in front of their computer.

Re: Which of these is true today?
Bit touchy. I am unaware of your circumstances which is why I enquired. I assume that there will be some factor that would make someone so dissatisfied with a location, stay. You have been too occupied running down an entire country and it's population to impart that nugget however

Because the membership rules don't state that kporte and renth have the absolute right to know every last detail of why someone lives in Australia. Or why they do or don't like it. The membership rules also do not state that people who do not like it deserve to be interrogated by those who clearly do and would perhaps prefer a website that only allows people who love Australia.
