yeah, or i mean, a rather quick survey over the situation could make it appear as though that is indeed what happened. but im no computer expert, so i can't say for sure.

It's a westernised parent/child relationship thing and primarily due to the fact that both parties are unreconcilable after 18 years of domestic hell.
Ethnics on the other hand, Italians, Greeks, Indians, Arabs etc, are raised to respect their elders or know to get a smack across the back of the head or a rabbit punch to the liver.
Whitey's don't beat their kids enough to get any kind of respect or proper fear happening, so they spend most of those formative years screaming ineffectually at one another until finally 'Im an adult, I don't have to take your crap' usually followed by the reply of 'thank christ they've gone, now we can wander around the house semi naked again and don't have to feed their fat lazy arses'.

Seriously, if I hadn't met HRH when she was at home with her parents, she probably would still be there... 28 working as a lawyer, mooching off their pantry and probably sleeping under my little pony bedsheets in a single bed like most wog kids do. The first thing wog parents want to know is- how much you make, can you feed their baby and do you have a house. Not actually anything like, do you actually love them, are you shipping in a tonne of drugs a month or actually a criminal underworld axe murderer like most whiteys would ask potential suitors.

I stand corrected, she obviously got enough flack for that, the poor girl

Originally posted by Lews Yes, we certainly have split along ethnic lines in the sense of neighborhoods. I think a lot of that has to do with the fact that whites have the most purchasing power, and so tend to buy up property in choice areas, where other ethnicities can't afford to live. It also just has to do with the waves in which people came to this country and where they came from.

Yeah, that's a bit exotic to me. Surely, the further South you go in Brazil, the more European we look; likewise, people from the North often look like Native Brazilians and there's a strong African Brazilian presence in cities like Salvador. But I miss the shades of grey there, so to speak... even if I don't find the main concept completely alien.

ARE YOU DATING MY SISTER!?

It's exactly the same here. If you're still living with your parents beyond the age of 23 you're considered an oddity. I suspect it's a cultural aspect that probably originated here, which is why Lilith, an Australian, also reports it over there.

I moved out when I was 18, and I couldn't wait a day longer. I think my Dad would have thrown me out if I'd stayed any longer anyway. So "both parties are unreconcilable after 18 years of domestic hell" is pretty much on the money.

Yeah, I moved out when I was 17, to move to Brisbane for Uni. I knew loads of people that had grown up in the city here that still lived with their parents while they were studying, but very rarely any longer than that. Once they graduated, BAM. Gone.

Nou is a cautionary tale of staying @ home too long. Moral of the story don't be Nou.

Something about Anglo culture, then?

I'm actually quite curious about this, now.

Well, maybe we need to define "globalisation". But most post-colonial nations have huge influxes of immigrants from former colonies who inevitably import culture wholesale, and that has nothing to do with America. When people talk about "globalisation" they tend to use the image of the high street with a McDonalds, a Starbucks and an American Apparel, but for me the image of a mosque standing amongst rows of terraced Victorian townhouses built for 19th century cotton workers is just as "globalised" an image - architecture, culture and religions from thousands of miles apart standing side by side in the street - and America is nowhere in the frame. The issue of integration is a big one in Western Europe in particular, because other cultures don't just get assimilated, they exert an influence the other way.

Actually, this is what made me curious in the first place: Based on this fact alone, you know what we'd call Nou down here? Normal

Good question, and I think so. I can't think of a single TA from the European continent that doesn't live with his or her parents unless they had to move to some other city for work.

By the way, one last thing: I spend so much time here that I do believe that this is by far the main reason why I left the nest age 24. I kind of wanted to know what this fuzz was all about

True. Actually, this was my point as well (though I started by saying the question was false, rather than by denying it's valid, which I believe is how you approached it).
