Far too easy a society. Everything is there, even if you only have two pennies and a ball of lint. Plus most parents baby their children to the point where the kid doesn't even try to earn a living. Not that I believe working hard necessarily equals an achievment. Plenty of old rich kids with too much power on their hands.

Well, we did it to them if they are spoiled that way. I could be wrong but much of the problems with anyone younger comes from their parents. The WWII generation was pretty self sufficient as were their parents. Us baby boomers had it pretty good and got spoiled a bit by our folks and we in turn have spoiled ours even more.
Now no one wants to buy a home unless is is 3000square feet and new. I never had that problem. Ours was 800 square feet. Later, 1700 sq. ft.
Blame mother culture as well since she make everyone believe they wont exist without the newest, best, biggest, costliest ting there is.

don't make it out to seem like it's all of us because I WANT TO achieve something, and also i hate the fact that when you WANT a job you can't get one, someone gets it over you who don't want it but if you don't or the timing is wrong for you then you get it!
trust me don't put all the youth in the same lazy no respect/responsibility in the same box because I'm one who WANTS A JOB...Believe that

Um, excuse me but I know there is more to life than Myspace and Youtube.
I know that nothing in life is going to be handed to you because your parents and Barney told you you were "special".
I'm going to work my *** off to get mine. Whatever it may be.
