It certainly happened in my parent's generation. Most girls didn't move out until they got married, sometime in their 20's.

Although I don't think it has as much to do with being lazy (since 60% of them are full time employed) as it does with the fact that real estate prices were insane until 2 years ago. The price of housing around here has fallen by 30%-50%.

I didn't say there was a generation gap. I don't think people my age got us into a mortgage/consumer debt crisis. I was just pointing out a neglected topic that could be handy.
There was an entire diatribe in another thread about how people are being "kept down" and shit should be redistributed. As a sort of corollary to what Casper mentioned, about to whom much is given, and in opposition to the idea that people deserve shit simply for sucking in air like Fuckface is constantly ranting about, I think everyone should get a fair chance at learning things. Whether or not they use that knowledge is their own goddamn problem.
If you never learn you never get a chance though. I can't believe the number of BLEEDING HEARTS who go bananas whenever the idea that redistributing wealth is a shit idea is mentioned, are against educating people.

It all goes back to this motherfucking awesome book that I have been reading http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outliers_%28book%29
I can't tell if you didn't read the thread or the book...
Also how long does it take you to read a book
That wasn't exactly heavy reading.

God you are fucking full of shit! You call everyone bleeding hearts and then cry about how you want everyone educated!
You then cry about how everyone doesn't want people educated, yet no one here is saying this. Yes it would be lovely if everyone could get educated on all the important thing in life so no one on earth ever makes mistakes. You have to understand that this is not attainable. People are so vastly different, from their interests to their ability to learn to their upbringing/culture. There is no equality in life, people will always be failing while others succeeding. We can either say oh well at let those people fail and deal with the by product of their desperation, or we could embrace the idea of social insurance, which most of the entire western world does.
Someone should have taught you how not to double post. That would have been an important life skill.
You can thanks IOS 5 and the non working of safari now. I'm forced to use opera now which doesn't have the smooth interface safari has.
Actually your reading comprehension so extraordinarily low you didn't even understand who that sentence was directed at. Here's a tip: it wasnt "everyone."
The fuck I said anything about "no one making mistakes." I said "Whether or not they use that knowledge is their own goddamn problem." I'm not an expert but I'm pretty sure that means I expect a lot of failure. My point was just no one can cry they 'don't know how' if you teach them how. Cream is always gonna rise to the top bitches.
