Hang on a minute. You're the one who introduced Norway to the conversation and claimed that because bartenders have to be paid US$50K per annum it means that beer costs US$20 a pint, and "do we really want to live like that"? You compare Norway to the US, then when I point out why you're being stupid comparing Norway to the US, you accuse me of being stupid for comparing Norway to the US.
Have you considered a career with the Republican Party?
