So, what are you going to say with that?
In the end, this seems pretty clever to me, no?
Apart from WWII (which btw wasn't necessary to even go that far if people
all over the world - of course especially in german - hadn't be as stupid as
to believe that Hitler dumbfuck), what kind of help was that?
Thumbs up for all the Norwegians for having a relatively well prospering
country, a REAL great health and social structure and no soldiers being
involved in any kinda stupid war!
