Michael Savage on Lazy Adult Kids who Move Back in with their Parents - November 24, 2009

[MelkorHimself]

If you help with the bills and/or duties, there isn't shame in living with one's parents. In fact, now is a very smart time to do such a thing with the current economic state. A person in their 20s could pursue a masters or PhD while the job market still sucks, and at the same time they'll have more funds available because they don't have major living expenses. Then, once the economy improves, that person can move out and reap the benefits of a better job.

[glasspig]

When Michael Savage experiences be from a generation having to become $100,000 in debt for a bachelor's degree, just to even be considered for a lousy paying job that most likely pays close to negative earnings, i'll be glad to hear what he has to say about what he thinks.

until then, Michael Savage will always be a self-rightoues baby-boomer, from a generation where every fucking aspect was made completely easy and everything was simply handed to him. Mike, you'd never survive our generation.

[aussiebear22]

@glasspig

"a generation having to become $100,000 in debt for a bachelor's degree"

=> Who told them to intentionally sign up for a debt they know they cannot afford to pay off? You do not need a piece of paper to earn a decent living. You need common sense and some good old fashion core principles. (Given the free access to books in public libraries and the Internet, why would you not learn as much as you can at low cost? Then use that knowledge to make money.)

[glasspig]

@aussiebear22

"who said ???"

the establishment themselves said that you won't even be looked at if not a minimum of a two-year degree is achieved.

of course, you are right, a degree is not always just the answer.

the point is Michael Savage is from a cotton candy cane generation and has no idea what it takes to make it in this new young generation as a young person.

for crying out loud he is from a generation where the sacrifice was actually worth far less than what it paid. lucky him.

[aussiebear22]

"the establishment" ? So they blindly follow another's script without really thinking? Why are people always looking for something or someone else to blame? Why can't people take personal responsibility for their own actions? This victimhood mentality does not fly. If more people took responsible decisions for their own lives, folks like Mr Savage wouldn't be talking this way. There's no such thing as "luck" when you research, plan, work/self-study hard, and make something of yourself.

[glasspig]

@aussiebear22

the people who work the hardest are usually the ones who end up in a dead end.

there IS such thing as luck.

it's called being at the right place at the right time.

and also, the public isn't responsible or accountable for letting the corporations dominate and outsource jobs to foreign nations.

michael savage is an indoctrinated voice. and a lame one.

[goomba76]

i live with my parents because i tried to com,mit suicide. now that im working i am taking care of my parents because my father lost his job because the guy that owened the company he worked at had no buisness since. now my father is trying to apply for disabilty because he cant lift his arms above his chest but it takes forever necause so many people rip off the system.

[JawsJaws]

My best friend who is a liberal and his liberal brother moved back in with their mom. He is in his 40s and his brother is in his 30s.

[Saebeck32]

Young people were told repeatedly that unless we went to college, we would end up flipping burgers for a living. Now that we have massive debt, and the Bush depression has left us without jobs to pay it back, don't tell us that it's our fault. Dick.

[jefar53]

@Saebeck32 waa waa

[Sumoto999]

If you have a job and or go to school and live at home thats just fine, your making progress. But if your just sitting flat on your ass, get the fuck out of my house. No one get's a free ride, you had that up to age 18, I paid your tuition and taught you manors and gave you my love. Now it's time to be an adult.

[Gasotoaz]

God, you really do sound like an old fart here Michael. . .

[roseinthepines]

If my son didn't live with me (and work hard in construction) I would have lost my home by now. TImes have changed. It is a financial necessity. Extended families used to live together, support each other. He is not lazy, works on my house (I have no other male to help with maintenance too difficult for me). I guess this is not what you are ranting about...Children taking care of the parent(s) that raised them. Nothing wrong with that.

[jefar53]

@roseinthepines you have failed as a parent

[roseinthepines]

@jefar53 That is quite a judgement seeing as you know nothing of my situation, nor his. Many cultures of the world have extended families living under one roof. Although I could, I will not respond in a judgmental way to your insult.

[ir10031981]

8, 5, 40 have been my "magic" numbers, it's how I've basically lived since I began adulthood. work 8 hrs a day/5days a week therefore it's 40 hrs/wk. I feel sorry for those, like my brother who went to college and got a bachelors degree or higher and can't find work in their respective field/degree.

[ir10031981]

me, I didn't bother with college, my goals when I got out of high school back in 2000 was just to work any menial job and provide for myself, buy a house and start a family, so far the starting a family part hasn't worked out for me, only plus side I've discovered to never having a wife and kid, i've saved a lot of money. No child support, no alimony! (had I married & then divorced)

[MilkTrafficker]

Well, not everyone stays at home long for the same reason. Indeed, some are lazy but others are not. Times are fucked, there are laid off grown ups with experience and even they can't get a job. Furthermore, college screws many people time wise and monetarily, before you know it you are 25 and you don't have shit, and on top of that a debt.

I have an architect friend that is working in a super market. Many will need to adapt to the times, downgrade, and be more astute about paths. Crappy times.

[RedoubtWolf]

the funny thing is that the only people I know who moved back in with their parents are, in fact, liberals...

[Amills11]

@RedoubtWolf Its because if they went to college they got a major that means nothing they should have went to school for basket weaving.

[Xenda]

I LOL when I heard Wendy Wang dress, LOL! He was referring to Vera Wang, haha.

[Saura74]

What is that American word for those lazy that move back to there parents home?slacker asshole.

[Leon612]

I'm getting my sociology degree in 2 months! LOL!

[wilburhog]

The first thing that needs to change is the "tolerance" and "acceptance" that is practiced by colleges and universities. The kids in college today don't even require these kids to demand a decent standard in dress let alone attitude.

Kids going to classes in sweats, pajamas and flip flops looking spaced out from a hard night of "partying" is one thing that needs to change. It wouldn't be too much to at least impose a dress code and perhaps that can instill a sense of dignity and discipline.

[inconvenientruth1]

Michael Savage is just like all the other stupid baby boomers out there who throw the lazy stereotype on young people. I'm certainly not lazy. The mentality older people have is mostly generalizations. Nobody mentions who raised our generation. "My kids are lazy". You raised them, smarty pants. "I got 2 jobs when I was 17 years old, I moved out blah blah blah". Guess what. The times have changed. My generation is the lost generation.

[TheBoxingCannabyte]

@nockuout1, Can you explain why and how scientists are finding mountains of evidence that supports the fact that both polar ice caps are melting for the first time since they were formed?

[TheBoxingCannabyte]

Lol, this guy is batshit fucking crazy. He literally generalizes everything he disagrees with! Intellectual atrophy is a terrible thing, but it is usually something you can break out of if you are a seeker.

[bigbadnewman]

Any male who hasn't moved out of his parents' home by age 21 should be thrown out!

[TheBoxingCannabyte]

@bigbadnewman, lol, what about women? Or disabled men? Oh wait, you're probably too thoughtless to consider those people.

[AresCassell]

I'm an adult with a job and Im a college student but I live at home.

[SpeCulaTionS101]

@AresCassell: Nothing wrong with that. You're doing something with your life. What's shameful is if you don't have a job and don't go to school, and you depend on your parents just because you're a lazy asshole.

[AresCassell]

@SpeCulaTionS101 I totally agree with you. However I sometimes still feel like a bum living at home because I'm in my late 20's, even though I'm in college and hold a job. I'm paying for stupid mistakes I made in my past.

[buddybleau]

@AresCassell Nothing wrong with living at home if you are contributing to the bills and duties. It's the bums with jobs that keep every penny and expect their parents to feed them. Those are the real bums.

[LUVJONZ99]

@buddybleau WELL SAID!

[greencasd]

im 22 and i love driving flashy car, putting gel in my hair ,going to clubs and havng sex with girls stoned drunk ahhhhhhonly America

[Amills11]

@greencasd Mom must be proud.

[MrTTaylor25]

ahahaha i'm 26 and still with momma this is soooo right by the way i'm not having kids fuck that!

[buddybleau]

@MrTTaylor25 You're not having kids? You are a kid! A grown man would be on his own and still help his mother. Get that titty out of your mouth and learn to feed yourself!! Breastfeeding at 26! You're one helpless fuck!

.

[Zyworski]

A barrister is roughly the equivalent of an attorney under British law, what Michael is thinking of is a barista. The last thing you want to do is make negative points with the legal profession because you never know when you will have to make an appearance in court.

[Zyworski]

I always used to say, "there is always work for those who are willing to work hard", but I now no longer say that. GATT, NAFTA, a trillion dollars pissed away in the desert sand, and a monetary policy of free money have undermined the American economy to the point where the Puritan work ethic and a $1.25 will get you a cup of coffee. Even the income of the college educated can't keep up with the rise in costs.

Maybe I should try a career as a pontificating bellyache you seem to do well at it.

[6672rock]

Childhood by proxy -- sounds like a lot of suffocating parents I know who clip their kids' wings before they can learn to fly and keep them in a state of suspended mental childhood. The end result is a royally screwed-up kid.

[flickyoli]

Wow, that's rich coming from a Jewboy. Savage still lives with his kike Mom.

[MIKON8ERISBACK]

Both of my much older cousins lived with their parents until they were about 30 years old. Very common nowadays, although I am sure they got jobs of their own.

[20Slaton20]

F*CK YOU BASTARD. This economy and job market is a joke. Tons of young people, myself included, work hard and would like to work hard given a damn chance. Degrees, more school, internships, experience... it doesn't mean sh*t anymore. Here's a sign of the times: this is no country for young men (or women) and you can burn in hell for such pretentious commentary! Who the hell do you think you are?!

[20Slaton20]

@20Slaton20

maybe if we were all so lucky to have gone to college and graduated and job searched when you did (in the stone age), we'd all be so insightful, intelligent and accomplished. You're name is certainly an appropriate description!!!

[akrivosdiavolos73]

@20Slaton20 I agree with you 110% my friend, MY folks came here in the early 70s from europe....talk about business opportunity then no pizza hut, no papajohns, no homedepot NOTHING...the business market was YOURS TO CONQUER

Today your Dad and Uncle MUST be program cooridnators at Harvard/Yale MED school and you need have your extended family members in the field JUST for you to get your FOOT IN the door

HARDWORK= get used

Austrailia i think is the solution..USA dominance is over!!

[Leon612]

CRAP!! I'm a soc major at rutgers-camden!! LOL

[smrndoff]

This went out in November 2009! At the height of an economic recession when people were not only losing their jobs but losing their homes! And this self-satisfied schmuck is ranting about how people are ''dead-beats'' if they can't find a job. Or they try to economise by staying with their family until things get better.

I know savage (not his real name) is a provocateur by job description, but he's a schumck too. He'd starve if he had to work for a living rather than insulting folk from a chair

[SlamageEntertainment]

@smrndoff Oh, so you would make your parents raise you again, sure.

[thash1127]

hell yea, savage telling the truth about gloabl warming!

[RichieEastside]

I gotta call bs on this one...I love Savage and listen all the time, but he's got a very outdated view on this. Gone are the days of being able to walk into a company with your resume and talk to the boss and shake hands and "You're a good kid, I'll give you a chance!" "Thanks sir! You won't regret it!!" Those days are LONG gone. It's just not that easy anymore. Getting a job at a gas station now requires 2 years experience and a degree...get back to reality Michael.

[chromeinox]

This is the truth. And I am inside it. I dont live with my parents and i have a job, but things dont look good for us. There is extreme competition on good jobs and the employers have all the cards. And also by the time I retire im afraid that Social Security will be gone... So Michael cut us just a little slack ok ? Love the show!

[dirosaga]

Great, just another tight ass, conserrveative, bitter know-it-all. I bet if he and O'Riley fucked they could give birth to hitler. Christ. I'm more liberal, but at least I don't profess to know "all" like this guy apperently DOES. Hypocrit, pessimist, earsore.

[Chareb94]

@dirosaga Stop calling obama names fag....

[Chareb94]

@dirosaga LOL! Hitler believed what liberals do :)

[dbrochu19]

I didnt go to aunt sam and ask for a hand out so i could go out to a club with gelled hair. hahahahahahah

[pamlovsy2j]

i'm not conservative (or liberal) but I agree with this guy to an extent. Some of these people are just grown babies who are tired of their club and unnecessary gadgets money going to things like rent and bills but some just don't make enough to move out (meaning its time to get a different job)

[RDpapichulo]

I'm 24 and I live at home cause I have a job but don

't make enough cause of the economy, I feel like shit now.

[Chareb94]

@RDpapichulo Living with your mommy @ 24...You should feel like shit....Get her tit outta your mouth and move on.

[RDpapichulo]

@Chareb94 LOL, I know, I know but I live in NYC, you need to be making minimum 20 dollars an hour to live on your own, rent is minimum 1000 per month for 1 apartment in the worst parts of town. Try finding a job at 20 dollars an hour these days. It's impossible.

I graduated and everything, but there are no jobs. I mean what's a guy supposed to do.

[JMB129]

@RDpapichulo You're supposed to work 5am to 1pm at one job, then 3pm tp 11pm at another job and have them overlap, so your "day off" is when you're just working at 1 job and not 2 that day. I mean, nobody needs to sleep at all, right?

[Topg1]

@RDpapichulo Don't feel bad I am in the same situation.

[macdogq]

Savage for prez!

[macdogq]

If your on the left, it is easy to call one "racist" This is only defense they have.

[RememberPaulRevere]

goliddy3

Well said!!

They call it AFFIRMATIVE ACTON!!! Just fancy words for I'M a RACIST and I don't have to do anything except show what color I am to get that job from 'whitey'!

[RememberPaulRevere]

sfordgg

By ALL means post one racist comment Savage has made?

Sometimes deluded people have NO clue what is racist from liberal rhetoric!

My bet is this is exactly your case!

[RememberPaulRevere]

Gore should be prosecuted just like Madof.

Savage is RIGHT ON!!! Kids moving back home and they STILL think their parents should fund all their bills, stay up late playing video games, sleep til noon,  then bitch about taking out the trash or helping out with the bills!

We got sick of it and told them to hit the road!!

One joined the Army, the other is now married with a child of his own.

I love both my sons, but the apron strings are cut! Time to fly on their own!

[Conservative1001BG]

Wow, you're a toolbag. Not to mention you are incredibly racist, please take you're hatemongering somewhere else.

[sfordgg]

RACIST

[Alexandros1294]

@sfordgg and how is this racist again idiot?

[Harrydeth]

Savage is more of a Nationalist than Conservative.

[RememberPaulRevere]

Nationalist? Hmmmmm....if believing in ones NATION and constitutional rights makes him a "Nationalist", then GOD BLESS HIM.

That is patriotic whereas so many think selfishly of ONLY themselves with their hands out waiting for the next check of "Free MONEY", earned off the backs of industrious Americans that work hard.

[BlueSkies360]

If you think this show is racist, try Black Entertainment Television...

[sfordgg]

RACIST

[jjwrom]

@BlueSkies360

That is true, no not the insane part.  I think that is a perfectly logical view. What is insane about my thoughts?

[dirosaga]

@goliddy3 Expand on why it is racist. Black history month is racist? Youi're a nation that brought blacks over for slavery, and now when blacks in this country have channels and history months to honour african culture and history and preserve and dignify the african identity (which was stigmatized and oppressed for years and years), you say it is racist? That it is a an act of prejudice to take pride in one's culture?

[Chareb94]

@dirosaga Yes, but in turn we are a nation that BOUGHT blacks FROM black to bring over here :) See the BLACK chiefs sold all of the young MALES that could usurp his throne, to the crackers, for MOLASSES n shit....How come black history month ignores the fact that AFRICAN countries had the practice of servitude and slavery long before whites got to them? Culture? So blacks in the USA are cooking LOCUSTS burgers? They celebrate COLOR, not culture. It's B.E.T, NOT A.A.E.T channel....

[dirosaga]

@Chareb94 So you are saying that because black history month ignores the african part played in american slavery . . . that as this is a facet of their culture that they ignore, by ignoring this one facet of their culture, they therefore do not celebrate any culture AT ALL? And because they do not celebrate culture, they celebrate the colour of their skin, black? First of all, the part played in history by slaves is ONE of A MILLION facets of black culture.

[Chareb94]

@dirosaga 1 facet??? 1 fucking facet, really? I don't see American Blacks dancing around fires worshipping tree gods, do you? I don't see American blacks spearing Rhinos for dinner, do you? I don't see American blacks jumping off branches face first into the ground to become men, do you? I do not see American blacks do ANY FUCKING THING that AFRICAN males do, DO YOU? Fuck slavery, fuck blacks ignoring TRUTH and fuck you for being an enabler...

[dirosaga]

@Chareb94 While they do perhaps ignore their historical part played in slavery, they do not ignore and actually remember many more facets of their culture. SO, THEY DO CELEBRATE CULTURE, they just perhaps leave a small bits out, AS DO ALL PEOPLES BY THE WAY.

[Chareb94]

@dirosaga No they don't stupid, stfu....I asked 20 random blacks ranging in age from 16 to 42 with a median income of welfare to 39k a year who the fuck Fredrick Douglass was, and none of them knew....So shut the fuck up.

[dirosaga]

@Chareb94 wow it took u a week too respond. i could go through your comments and respond, but i think i'll do so when i get around to it--judging by your fucking welfare peasent answers, where you are now resorting to saying fuck every other sentence--likely becuase as you have lost this conversation as an intellectual battle of proof, your now turning it into a who can swear the loudest contest. Don't worry i will eventually respond to your dumb, immature, scandellous responses. ;)

[dirosaga]

@Chareb94 DO Americans on independence day celebrate their “culture” of “indpenedence” by remembering how in Jamestown, Virginia, first town of the USA, they starved to the point of canabillism, and only survivied because the NATIVES helped them—the same natives they later destroyed? NO, they don’t. Does that mean America celebrates NO CLUTURE AT ALL?

[dirosaga]

@Chareb94 I wouldn’t say so. Therefore I argue that your assertion that BET celebrates NO CULTURE and ONLY SKIN COLOUR is false, as there is still MUCH CULTURE being celebrated, and omitting small parts of culture is something ahered by ALL CUULTURES, INCLUDING THE US, in the act of celebrating history.

[dirosaga]

@Chareb94 PS. Slavery in Africa was different then slavery in America. African slaver was similar to that of a butlers role in Britain, more normal less brutal. Families were never torn apart and such. Though Americans bought them from blacks, they subjected those sold to a form of slavery that was incomparable and greatly worse.

[Chareb94]

@dirosaga No it wasn't stupid, hush.

[dirosaga]

@Chareb94 . From malnutrition, to phsycial abuse, etc etc. So YOU, have already left out an ASPECT OF CULTURE YOURSELF! If you want sources let me know, I learned this shit in university—and it was university scholars who came up with your idea of blacks selling blacks, so I hope you don’t tell me now that universities aren’t credible after you use scholarly information to prove your points. 

[dirosaga]

@Chareb94 So, while you pint out that BET leaves out aspects of culture, it is true that All PEOPLE leave out aspects of culture, yet they still do celebrate culture. So, black culture is about culture, not only about black skin, as you so put it.

[dirosaga]

@Chareb94 And your idea of slavery itself leaves out cultural aspects, as the slavery in America was much, much, worse, then the African slavery blacks were subject to: therefore, although Africans sold them, Americans sunjected them to entirely worse sytem of slavery.

[dirosaga]

@Chareb94 PPS... don't call me a fag... homophobic asshole.  ;l

[Chareb94]

@dirosaga STFU fag.

[dirosaga]

@goliddy3 Well according to you, American history is racist, beacuse it is segregated from the rest of the globes heritage and history. That would also make your Indipendence day RACIST. What do you think of that? (i would also argue that the essence of your own post is proof of the still existing stigmatization of black culture)

[ndc18]

@goliddy3 fuck you!!!!! suck a nigga dick!!! Obama/Biden 2012!!!!

[AirplaneRadio]

@goliddy3 I'm a black male and I remember going to group of black ladies in my cafeteria who were discussing a college black beauty pageant they were participating in and I asked them specifically why do general include them but black ones exclude everyone who isn't. They just turned their heads and said nothing. Exposing hypocrisy can be a lot of fun.

[Alexandros1294]

@BlueSkies360 LOL nice!

[KingConservative]

Well I am 15 and very proud that I am conservative and know the truth.

[BlueSkies360]

Savage, knock off the badmouthing of vegans already. I am a vegan and I am a conservative, not liberal. Vegan diet is the healthiest diet of all. You rarely get sick and live the longest lives. There is nothing wrong with that. Dead corpse proteins and saturated fat is much worse that plant based proteins and heart healthy fats. Vegans do not clog their arteries with junk and have a perfect blood pressure. Plus we can sleep better knowing that no animals died for us to fill our intestines

[ecuadmail]

I'd like to see proof that they live longer.

[jjwrom]

@BlueSkies360

The animal never would have lived, if we didn't intend to eat it. They were raised to eat. Now, I think they should treat the animals better than they do. I also think we all need to eat more fruits and vegetables but as a vegan you can easily become calcium deficient. So be careful.

[BlueSkies360]

@jjwrom

Are you insane?

[jamesjeffreypaul]

I hope no child ever moves back to a home presided over by "adults" like Savage--or even lives in one to begin with! Savage is a blowhard, a bully, and a coward--in short, an overgrown child. It's people like him, not young "slackers," who cause the most damage to society. I wish a group of small kids would call him names. He'd break down in tears and run crying to his mommy.

[EdVidz]

I had a dad like Savage, same ethnic background. Hated higher education, felt college took away manhood. Maybe he was right. Look at Holder, Obama, Geitner. Half-men made it to the top. My dad struck fear in elected officials who thought they could push him around. Yeah, that was a generation of men.

[roge69charger]

I know of 50 yr olds residing with their parents in my Bldg.

[UnderseaCaveman]

Savage at his BEST....

[Bruce1949919]

Savage is the best

[battalion1982]

lol, micheal speaks the truth.

gel hair lol

i swear, if ppl had fathers like micheal savage, this would be a better country.

[TheBoxingCannabyte]

@battalion1982, lmao, what a bunch of bullshit. I'm so happy my father is just about the polar opposite of this guy. I guarantee my dad is about 1000x tougher, both emotionally and physically (and far more intellectually curious) than this guy. He clearly does no research, he panders, he uses raw emotion almost exclusively. AND he doesn't believe in global warming! Why the fuck are you listening to him?
