"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.

Why do you continue to generalize and insult (incorrectly I might add) the people from the country you choose to live in?

Says more about you than it does Americans.

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.

How's pointing to a well known fact insulting? Pray tell. Perhaps you also think my poll was insulting? If so, I apologize.

The "pitfalls of generalization"..? Well, among the nuggets I picked up from my statistics classes were that even a phrase like 'American people' is a general term. Hence, the following is a true & correct statement; the illiteracy level of the American people is among the highest in the industrialized world. If that feels like a "pitfall" to you, then I apologize also to you.

Now, can't we just let this silly thread die?

Love, peace, and understanding.
