Not quite sure where you got the 120M number, if you use these:
https://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/print/us.html for the USA
https://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/print/no.html for Norway

It shows a 99% number versus a 100% for Norway, like any stat I am sure we could debate the accuracy, but I really don't care. I think that it great that all 4.6 million people in Norway over 15 can read, which makes me wonder why you came here to get an education if it is so inferior.

Thanks . . .

I was going to say the same thing myself . . . But then I thought for a sec . . . . ..
and then remembered that all of my family is 2gn Americans from Norway.

But it does make you wonder why all the norefruits fled to the west coast state with their freedom bags, jump up on a"striped" Boxster and take silly photos with no shoes on an spill a good glass of milk Call it Art and then take their subsidized Advance College classes that their own idiocracy government can not managed to create or lure qualified staff to operated a University locally.

We should count our lucky stars that special person decided to use some of his valuable time to educate us about how uneducated we really are

Oh an when will those car training videos hit the stores!

and about the poll . . . My peve is about stupid polls, who really cares what anyone thinks..... except when it might be Jim, Tool Pants and Randall and you have a sick Box.

This is a Boxster forum right ??????
