Ahh.. More whining from the 20-somethings...

If the current generation of 20-somethings didn't have such an expectation of entitlement, I think we would never have heard of this 'crisis'.

By the time I was 25, I was 6 years into my first career, still going to college (multiple degrees) and had been working a full time job since I was 15 yrs old. All my friends busted their tails to find work, sometimes whatever work there was. We all had lived on our own since age 18.

There have always been layoffs - the economy has been bad for decades - you learn to adapt.

Life takes work - just because you finally have to move out of your parents house isn't call for a crisis...

While I don't think it should be Illegal in Jackson, Mississippi to wear low-slung pants, i DO think that if someone pulls your baggy pants down, you should be forced to stand there and be ridiculed for at least 10 minutes (every time someone yanks your saggy britches down)!

I find this Hilarious. I'm old enough to be a parent (though I'm not one). When I was growing up, we hung out at the mall. We didn't want our parents there, but occasionally we would run into them (or god forbid, we had to actually go there with them sometimes). But like anything else in public - we didn't do anything in the mall our parents would freak out about. The analogy doesn't completely hold, but you shouldn't have anything on your Facebook or Myspace page that you wouldn't want your parents to see....It's a "public" space. In many cases complete strangers that you have "befriended" get a more intimate glimpse of your life than your parents. That's fairly messed up.

"Could someone explain to me why Starbucks is evil? "

Bryan,

Starbucks is convenient; but like any great idea that grows too rapidly, the product suffer with the growth. For one, starbucks' coffee is generally horrible, brewed, mixed and served fast-food style by employees who have little care for the product or customer.

Starbucks also has a nasty habit of positioning themselves near, or just outright buying local coffee houses, driving independent business owners out of the market. I can already hear someone replying with "well, that's capitalism" - perhaps, but it is hard to compete with a corporation that has a practically endless well of funding.

In NYC we have areas we call "starbucks triangles" which is any location where you can stand, throw a rock and hit 3 different starbucks locations from the same spot.

Too much market saturation...

Heather,

The first permanent color photo was created in 1861, and the first practical color film "Autocrome" was marketed in 1907.

Keep in mind that photographers were pretty rare; and color photographers especially so. But color photography did exist at that time.
