Even though half of the part about Germany was about the UK, I am glad and surprised we were listed as an examplary part of the "good side" with our nude beaches, medatory sex ed, civil unions. On the other side: This is sad. Germany made it to the list and we're, in fact, not that very progressive over here and ruled by the more conservative of the two main parties that discriminates against homosexuals and constantly flirts with the pope. We have our government collect church tax for the Catholic and the Lutheran church and religion class in school.
Does anyone know anything about similar statistics in the north European countries (like those of Skandinavia)? That would be really interesting, I think.
