response to the "two week vacation in the USA"

if people just "accept without a fight 2-3 weeks of vacation / year or less" it is probably because they don't have the same opportunities as you, circus. Please don't condescend to people with different values than yours. People have different priorities. Some of us pay a price to follow our heart and do what we really want and some of us have family, job, apartment, responsibilities that encumber our ability to pack up for x amount of time to go somewhere.
As for right and wrong being a condition of upbringing.....well; I don't think it can be that simple. Psychiatrists evaluate certain people; the kind who do horrible things to others like serial killers and abusers and so on, as people who lack empathy with others, the ability to sense another's suffering. Is right and wrong written in the sky? No, but to say it doesn't exist really troubles me. I was raised religious, yes. But there are others raised equally religious who still have no "principals" and who throw off everything they've been taught.
