[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m American but my father was from Europe. I was raised to be extremely well behaved. My father was very strict and did not tolerate bad behavior, especially not in public. We were taught to sit still, be quiet, not talk loudly, not play with our hair, or touch our clothes, etc. We were also taught to dress appropriately. And from a young age I was taken to the theater, opera, ballet, museums, church, and on occasion nice restaurants where I not only learned how to be in those environments but also practiced good behavior.

"dress appropriately"
Take your moral stupidity and stuff it.[/quote]

An example of why we don’t have this here - too many differing social attitudes.[/quote]

You realize European countries tend to have vastly different social attitudes now that cause lots of issues?  For example, the German/Nordic concept of "nudity isn't such a big deal" and that women should be allowed to dress in relatively revealing clothing contrasts sharply with many of the refugee/immigrant class's belief that women should be covered, wear hijabs, etc. Or the sexually free values of these European countries contrasting sharply with the belief that such behavior is a sin. This contrast leads to absolutely horrific events such as the mass rape of German women in Cologne on New Years Eve in 2016. Your image of a homogenous, ethnically uniform country where everyone has blonde hair and blue eyes and the same values is extremely dated by around 40 years[/quote]
