American versus European values

Covers pretty much everything. Not really particularly surprising, but quantifies widely-held perceptions. Notably :
- Americans are more gung-ho than Europeans
- Americans are roughly split as to whether their culture is superior to others, while this varies considerably in European countries
- Americans have this odd notion that the role of the state should be to do as little as possible, while Europeans see it as a way to ensure a social safety net
- Americans are waaaay more religious than Europeans
- Americans are less tolerant of homosexuality than Europeans, though they're catching up fast
- Pretty much universally, those with a university education are less inclined toward the use of military force, less inclined to believe in their own cultural superiority, more inclined to believe the state's main role should be welfare, and more tolerant of homosexuality.
