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 :p |
Coming from a country that gave us 2 girls 1 cup, I'd say you don't have a normal leg to stand on. |

An excellent point; Manifest Destiny has been with us all along, and easily why we have trouble staying the out of other countries. |
There was another policy that I forget that name of that involved America refering to South America as it's "backyard" that's been in force since the 1800s. It seems like somewhere between world war 1 and the end of world war 2 they extended that to mean the rest of the world. Plus I guess there's the aspect of the cold war (at least somewhat) necessitating the need to interfere in countries around the world's internal affairs and once that pattern had been established it wasn't simply relinquished merely because the soviet union fell.

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. |

Ha sounds exactly like my girlfriend's (maltese father +english/french/euro mother) family. The son's a lawyer and he moved out with his gf for 6 months just to get tax incentives on their investment property. Right after the required time was up though it's straight back into the family home. The interconnectedness freaks me the out sometimes. Like one time my girlfiend bailed on me because her mum organised for her to hang out with her 26 year old sister without consulting either of them. My reaction was just like :wtf: how the hell is that normal?
So far as I can tell Australians (or certainly English/European/American Australians) seem to be exactly the same or similar in terms of views of children moving out from home. A lot of parents want the kids to move out as soon as they finish uni; or alternatively that and they make the kids pay board once they're 18. It seems like a lot more kids are staying at home till 25-28 lately though because property prices are so expensive in Melbourne at least. |

False. The Globalist Take-Over of America.
Marxism. Immigration Reform. Big Brother. European Style Welfare. Self-Imposed Multiculturalism . Destruction of Constitution & Sovereignity . Debasement of U.S Dollar. Debasement of Judeo-Christian values. Rise of Neo-Stalinism & A New Cold War.
The globalists are in control: the program is now planted in America . It has been done in other countries before. |

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 :D |

I almost wonder if it was sustained economic and political conditions that caused such a cultural gulf. Because it's true- in most every corner of the world, people will live with their parents well into adulthood, and it's generally free from the same stigma people in the US place on it. But in its halcyon century (now well past), the US experienced a grand shift from factory and industry to clerical, financial labour with leisurely incentive. There were jobs, homes were affordable, family was encouraged as an atomic opportunity to thrive in a cellular manner. Well, that's gone, and the incidence of people living with their parents has seen a sharp rise in just the last decade- the burgeoning uncertainty is creating a trend that I think is going to continually reunite people within their tribes. I don't know if it's good or bad, it's just a thing. |
I have to imagine that collectivism is more conducive to the survival of a society, something that this atomic reunification certainly lends itself to. Whether or not you feel this is a good thing just depends upon how you feel about 'traditionally collective' vs. 'progressively individualistic' societies in the first place (assuming that's a fairly dichotomous distinction to make AND HI HAL!) |
