1) A description of the State whose name is internationally recognised as Ireland.
2) The name of the association football (soccer) team which represents Ireland.
Ireland is a democratic republic; in 1948 the Government of Ireland declared that Ireland was a Republic. In consequence Ireland was expelled from the British Commonwealth as at that time it was not possible to be both a republic and a member of the Commonwealth. The rules changed when Britain withdrew from the Indian subcontinent and both Pakistan and India were allowed to become part of the Commonwealth as Republics.

Last year I posted my reflections on the Iraq war on the "free republic" website. First, the war rationale was based on lies. Second, the goals of the Bush administration were: To find and destroy weapons of mass destruction, to save the lives of Americans, to oust Saddam Hussein, to turn Iraq into a free democracy, to stabilise the Middle East, and to keep oil prices low. I politely pointed out that the Bush administration had achieved only one of these goals, the ousting of Saddam Hussein, and that they had failed (and still do) quite miserably in the pursuit of all those other goals.
The free republic operators then politely and silently removed all of my posts (even those not related to the topic) and closed my account. Truth hurts, baby. Not that I am surprised.

Oh my..
Where does one begin?
Just another whack-job website where contributors discuss the minutae of whether the earth is either 6,001 or 6,002 years old.
Highlights include heated debates on whether Noah included baby or full-grown dinosaurs on his boat and which of the dinosaurs that man co-existed with back in the day were the best to serve up with grits for breakfast.
At least they're all in the one place on the net.
Check it out. You will assuredly weep with laughter.

I needed to know for my Creationism class what that couple of Noah-rescued T-Rexs ate while floating merrily around the world on the Ark during that unexpectedly heavy rain shower. Free Republic was a boon as it turns out that for the duration all carnivores became Vegans and ate only seaweed, rather than the easily available onboard prey.
Free Republic is a laughable collection of (largely and unsurprisingly American) nutters. Best leave them to it.
