Re: The culture of sexual abuse in France
Well, Catholic societies never really got the openness of the Reformation and this mirrors the top-down structure of the Catholic Church.
England is an exception, as the CoE is basically Catholic and many of the landholder aristocracy were actually Catholic.

Re: Why are ozzies such porkers?
It's all about the lack of exercise.
When I was a teen, I worked a summer job that required lots of physical work. I ate 2 huge meals each night at around 5pm and 11pm, and I was in the best shape of my life.
