25 countries rated their fellow citizens. Canada came first, U.S. last

For example, the researchers asked people in the 25 countries whether nine different behaviours — including having an abortion and drinking alcohol — were morally unacceptable, acceptable or not an issue. On most of the nine, U.S. respondents fell in the middle of the pack. On whether homosexuality was morally wrong, for instance, 39 per cent of Americans said it was, compared to just five per cent of Swedes, 15 per cent of Canadians, and 96 per cent of Nigerians.
