It's still not nice. If you are afraid of asking to do it you probably should not do it. (Talking mainly about other people and not authority and stuff, that one is more complex.)

Maybe they attract your attention, but what are we, animals? (I know we are animals I just thought it was slightly funny)

I thinm what people want should be respected, either if they know what you did or not.

Also why are you talking about Americans? Is it like a joke or is the person actually American or something?

It's because of the Christians and Catholics. America is a very extremely deeply religious country when you get down to it.

Even our most staunchly non-religious folk. Still hold values based off things that are extremely religious.

Our forefathers who came here to escape religious persecution so they could practice their own religious persecution probably have something to do with it.

Because in USA the last part isn't set in stone from what I know...

Leave it to a non-American to ruin a joke thread with an incessant need to criticize Americans.
