"Immigrants who didn't understand the original question"..?! Hey, listen Franco -- I was the one who started this thread, so I know quite well what the "original question" was. And yes, I'm a Norwegian living in California, bulged-eyed by the literacy level of the American people.

peer, when in a hole, first stop digging. I still believe you didn't really mean this, and that your (US) university is one of those still good enough to teach you the pitfalls of generalization. Just IMO.
