Born lazy and raised tired.

“Would you rather just sit around the house and watch TV all day...”

TV hosts take themselves with too much regard for what they do today. TV may have always been a vapid wasteland but now it isn’t even entertaining; just 24-7 infomercials/infotainment talking heads and noisy ads.

Oh great...just what the dimwits need...validation! Seems more likely to me that they just got it mixed up and it's really the dumbsh!t gene they've found...but I guess they're one in the same!

It’s right next to the “free giveaway” gene.

Why isn’t slothfulness one of those “diversity” things that my employer “values”?

Laziness Gene discovered in every mammal on earth.

We all are lazy, it’s takes an effort not to be.

Even dogs and cats can be lazy. Some are more hyper than others, but we can all be spoiled to laziness as well.

It must be genetic as I know it usually follows after a very productive parent (usually in the form of a lot of money)--lol. That would be me (my family was just middle class, but we had a huge Irish, Catholic family) and most of my friends (mostly wealthy or upper middle class). Although we are all productive, none of us could hold a candle to our parents' (from the great generation!) diligence, suffering, and hard work over the very, very long term.

Summary: My generation and below are basically lazy in comparison.

I also know people that are great contributors in areas that are not considered productive, but process for long periods and then put out amazing output. That is another animal.

The Great Left Wing Conspiracy at work trying to destroy Western Civilization again...Nothing new.

Now the productive people must excuse the lazy because “it’s not their fault” and “they are born that way”. Bonuses and promotions should now be skewed in favor of the useless, and customers / clients must accept crap work under the guise of the presence of a “laziness gene” being the culprit.

So if my genes make me very unattractive, is society on the hook for making me attractive again? Just think of all the moronic and inane excuses that can come from this analysis of “genes” to explain failure.
