My comment about the USA was a joke, meaning that the USA went down the slope long ago! Seriously though, we should not generalise. There are many people in Europe who do not agree with permissive politics, just as there are many people in the USA who do not agree with the indiscriminate bombing in Iraq, little children losing limbs, the killing of mentally incompetent people by lethal injection, the torture and sexual humiliation of prisoners, widespread pornography on the Internet,bestiality, child abuse,especially paedophilia drug abuseThese are the fruits of North American culture, but they are the work of individuals. It does not make sense to condemn the whole of Europe, or the whole of the USA, for the troubles of our time.
