I'm glad to see the questions rolling in :)

How many parents believe they should be allowed to hit kids?


If you mean smack them on the rump, then many.

Is the divorce rate as high as shown in the media?


The divorce rate is depressingly high, yes.

Do people in US know other languages than English? (learnt, not native)


Well, in my school, we are able to learn Spanish, French, and German (I took German). So a good percent of us have learned a second language. The hard part is remembering it after you graduate.

What do people think about having colonies around the world?


That's a good question. I don't know; it's never been a topic we talk about.

Do people prefer the pure Capitalist system, or the EU system? (free healthcare, education, etc)


Oh, we want free healthcare and education. I think we want free education more, and at least affordable healthcare.

Very few believe in actually beating their kids. As for spanking, there's still a sizable amount who say it's okay.

Is the divorce rate as high as shown in the media?

Yes, the divorce rate is through the roof.

Do people in US know other languages than English?

The education system has made a half-hearted attempted to force people into learning a second language, by only a small fraction actually remember anything after taking foreign language classes.

What do people think about having colonies around the world?

It's rarely discussed, but most people are pretty neutral about the U.K,France,Spain,etc. still holding on to a few islands.

Do people prefer the pure Capitalist system, or the EU system?

Many are still hardcore Capitalist, but there's a growing shift of people who want free education and healthcare.

Then, why do the US bipartidism ignore it? I think Democrats could get a bunch of votes if they promised to do it.

U.K,France,Spain,etc. still holding on to a few islands.


Spain doesn't (Canary Islands is a fully integrated community, as if you say Alaska) but it is true UK, France, and Netherlands also own some of them yet.

If education is free, where will the money from professors come from, and who will fund the colleges? This one question spawns a whole chain of problems.

One, very very breifly.
What do they say?

"He'll make America succeed because of his business success."

Not many still beat children, but still spank them.

Of course, but it's not a necessity, or common.

I believe it's capitalist because of this quote, but it's a many different ideas in this nation. "Liberals want everything given to them."

There's one think called "taxes". They are really useful sometimes.

Why Americans (most of them + their government) do not care at all about climate change, and why are the US the only developped nation to selfishly always block any negociations about ecology and important measures that need to be taken before it's too late? (see today's Paris World Climate Summit, and Copenhagen, Rio or Johannesburg summits in the past)

There's more opportunity for scandalous activities, and given the nature of some businesses and the way our law works, it's just a thing that is so easy.

If people knew how messy divorces are, they'd probably just kill each other, so i mean, it's better than that.

The U.S. doesn't have an anomalously high divorce rate (the divorce/marriage ratio is the best thing to look at):

Edit:

This should be, "how messy divorces can be" - plenty of people have amicable separations; divorce doesn't have to be worse than inconvenient.
