I believe you need to read the word 'or' (and the rest of that sentence) to understand it. Ain't literacy a wonderful thing!
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!
