Peer,
I suggest you make an apology and move on.
It is not nice to insult an entire nation.
Now, if we were bashing France ............!
Just kidding, please don't attack.

No no no!! It is ok to insult French people!!!! I lived in Canada for 32 years. All French people suck! There is no exception anywhere in the world. They are just born bad. They all think they are the best but have not succeeded in anything since Napoleon. Bad smelly people. Nothing more.

No, what I said was "about 120 million adults in the U.S. are illiterate or read no better than at a fifth-grade level."
I believe you need to read the word 'or' (and the rest of that sentence) to understand it. Ain't literacy a wonderful thing!

Yes, I agree -- so why not make it even better? For years I've been criticizing Norway and the mindset of its people -- not in spite, but rather the opposite -- there's always room for improvements.

I've already apologized -- see post #70.

That’s like me saying all people from Norway are condescending pompous jerks OR just Peer.

Oh, I see, destructive criticism. That will get you far.

Thanks for that back handed apology. We are sorry you are a condescending pompous jerk then. There, now we can all be friends again.

Well, if you think I'm a jerk for pointing to factual numbers in regard to illiteracy, then I guess there are lots of jerks in your world -- including this National Review author:

I bet they are all latent homosexual jerks over at the National Review.

You forgot condescending and pompous. The homosexual part was added by you and is something you are going to have to work out on your own. Good luck.

Alas, in the interest of good taste, I feel compelled to close this thread.
I thank you all for playing!
Be well my friends!
