How many DUers actually live in Norway? I know of one, period. And I hope he doesn't see this stupid poll.

Why should any of us who don't live in Norway be passing judgement on whatever the Norwegians decide to do to memorialize that horrific event?

I sincerely wish you would just delete your OP, I think it's offensive and insensitive.
