I'm ten miles from town, and even then, unless your right on the square most of town is really not designed where I can walk around.
The thing is, American cities are "spread out" not because of how far cities are between each other but because they are designed with cars in mind.
I remember how creepy it was to walk around New York's office district and not seeing a single soul walking. There was no one there after bussiness hours because that part of the city only exists for bussinesss, it had no life outside of it. It was creepy because you could walk across a dozen streets and you still wouldn't see a soul. I've never seen anything like that.
Similarly if you are in a residential district and you don't have a car, you can practically die of hunger because there won't be any restaurants close! I've never seen something like this in any other country.

Did you know the Gallician Nationalists complained to the RAE because of this? Ah, political correctness at its best.

It matters and if you think I'm trolling, you hate fun. FACT.
I am dissapointed at the lack of European stereotypes in this thread. What's that, you accept our superiority so quickly? C'mon, share the fun! Complain about how shitty we are or things that startled you, you know cultural differences and stuff.
One thing to keep in mind when talking religion and morals is the other issues besides general morality. Many upright and puritanical countries aren't all that nice places to live (like the aforementioned North Korea, or some of the islamic countries with stonings, witch burning etc), while generally the wealthiest, best places to live on earth are 95% of the time quite liberal and tolerant. Can one culture claim to be more moral than other one if it chooses to have a very draconian view on few select issues, while generally treating people more inhumanely?
