    At least this woman was integrated into society. She learned perfect Norwegian got an education and became a Norwegian. This alone should count for much. In fact, it should be a qualifying reason to let someone become a citizen. Not a requirement, but the feat alone should qualify for automatic citizenry.

    This feat should be a compulsary part of becoming a citizen, but certainly not automatic citizenry (perhaps in Norway where barely anyone speaks the language, but English is so widespread). Of course, stating that language and education are requirements I hope you realise you are descriminating, something I imagine HoreTore would also be against?

    Should I throw the Strawman at you?
    I tried to formulate it as carefully a I could stating that if someone was able to copy her feat, there should not be any more talk about "maybe we'll let you in".

    Wanna know who funded her education? Statoil. The state-owned oil company...

    And now they're discussing hiring her as a scientist, which means that she can stay in the country as specialized labour. Though, that may be legally confusing if her deportation is effectuated....
    Still maintain that crying on the pitch should warrant a 3 match ban
