30.3% Millennials

Ole Johnny went off to fight in the war, the cold, cold war, at the tender age of 17. Upon his first trip home he discovered that his parents had moved :mad:
 
No Wi-Fi, no cable, no restaurants or bars close by...no kids coming back.
 
At minimum, you have to finish four years of college before you are eligible for employment, and in some states the requirement is a masters degree.

You can't work without a degree, and obviously you can't support yourself if you can't work, so therefore you have to live with someone else.

There are many reasons to move home after college. I stayed with my folks until I was 26 and had a job offer out of town I chose to take. Before that I was working on a music career that involved freelancing and being a member of a band. Money was up and down and being at my folks allowed me to keep pushing toward my goal.
 
Plus millennials range from 15-25 so... yeah. Most 15-17 year olds live with their parents. And the economy is shitty so it's better to have three incomes than one. And a lot of people live with their parents if they're single in communal cultures (like Appalachia and much of the south) and people aren't moving in together/getting married like they're used to. So... yeah. I don't know why that's newsworthy. I moved back in with family because I was broke as shit. It happens. There are tons of social, cultural, and financial reasons to do that. Plus, a lot of older millennials are part of a sandwich generation, so we have to take care of kids and aging parents, so it makes more sense to move the parents in with you. I'm fortunate in the sense that the people I have to care for live close to me, because my family owns huge tracks of land, but without that, if we lived in an urban or suburban area rather than a rural one, it would make more sense to live together than to pay two separate rents.

Not in my day. You were expected to move out. I was told I had to be out by my 18th birthday. That's one of the reasons I enlisted.

why does this paranoid freak of NATURE have to fucking LIE? Why the overwhelming need to protect the NIGGER in the WH?

That's only in individualist cultures. And according to sociology classes, only fairly recently. See in collectivist cultures you simply couldn't afford to do that. You needed your kids at home, working that farm, until they had a damn good reason to leave. And I mean a damn good reason. Not a pansy ass, "I think I'm better than you, I'm getting too big for my britches" reason. You were expected to stay home and work. Hell that's the reason people had kids.

But that caused a bunch of fucked up shit because a lot of people would marry into abusive relationships because marriage and pregnancy was one of the few reasons that was considered good enough to leave. That's actually a big part of second wave feminism in collectivist societies. Trying to alter the culture so you wouldn't be forced into that. Because there are tons of stories, even in my own family, of people snatching up the first lover that came along because they saw it as their only way out of the farm, out of their parent's house. Because you couldn't just up and leave without becoming a social pariah. Like stores wouldn't sell to you because you "up and left them high and dry".

It's actually really interesting. But I like history and sociology and I am SO FUCKING BORED RIGHT NOW. Everything seems interesting.

If you're anywhere near the stupid asshole you are now, I'm surprised they didn't kill and eat you much earlier.

Is your argument that we are turning into a collectivist culture?
 
It's so weird to think of a world without chain stores. Like a world where you HAD to depend on small business owners because you couldn't just drive out to Wal-Mart. And that was recent. Like in my mom's day. That blows my fucking mind. Like you could piss off the community and suddenly you couldn't buy shit you needed. That's ridiculous. That's such a ridiculous concept to me, coming from the generation I come from.

Also a world without store brands. I had a long conversation with my mom about this recently because I was forced to spend time with her at the funeral. You went brand name or nothing. Because there were no chain stores that could have the capitol to produce their own goods. That seems suspect to me, but not suspect enough to Google it. But we're also from a really impoverished area so it probably wasn't like that in decent places.

Turning into? The south and the Appalachian mountain range has always been a collectivist culture. Individualist culture didn't exist until the push for the nuclear family in the 1940s-1950s. No, we're becoming more and more individualist as we progress and that's a good thing because I hate my fucking family. And I live in a world where I can do that and Eddie down at the general goods store can't refuse to sell to me because I hurt my mom's feelings and she bitched to him about it and he took her side.

But most science says it's bad for kids because the extended family rather than the nuclear family is better for their development.

But I didn't have an argument at all. There is no argument.
