So what? Are you better because you traveled to Europe or the Caribbean. My parents, grandparents and brothers never traveled outside the U.S. and Canada. Are you implying that you are a better, more worldly, more cultured, more well-read than them? It's this type of arrogance and elitism that drives me crazy.

I've spent a fair amount of time in Europe and in the Caribbean, and you know what, the U.S. is a more safer, more polite, more cultured so to speak place to live. Changing our American culture isn't progressive, it's regressive. Our value system works for us, and I'm sick and tired of us being forced to change all because it's tolerated in Europe or somewhere else in the world.

I concur also having travelled all over the world - in fact I have had the ultimate pleasure of being in countries where women are not allowed out in public without a male escort and must be covered head to toe.

I'd like to think we have struck a sensible balance between the Middle East and the Pygmies. Neither I would consider to be cultures (and I use that term loosely) for us to aspire to.
