And I'm not sure that the general opinions on the topics you mentioned are strong in either direction.
When it comes to homosexuality, abortions, religion, capital punishment etc I'm pretty sure that conversations I've had with people from all western lands have been quite similar, and I'd bet that the polls would be quite close. I wonder if there are statistics on this...

Exactly... It's been my experience also.
I've been to about half of all Western countries and all native, English speaking countries bar Ireland and while in those countries I realised.. I could just as easily be the person I am today and be native to these countries. The only difference being maybe the language or the accent I speak English with.
