Might I suggest reading a little more carefully and quit making up things I said. I made it clear that this is a complicated issue, lots of moving parts, and that the perpetual kid on govt or mama assistance is indeed a problem.
I’m not going to debate things I never said, ever, in this or any other thread in internet history.
As for the cat and dog: my main point is that it is an absurd analogy. My little teaser point is that actually those who live with mama and daddy do fare better......but that was just a little teaser point. Again, READING. COMPREHENSION.
Here in their entirety are your two posts to which I responded:
1: “’Perpetual childhood is NOT a good thing.’
Indeed it is not - but perpetual and delayed are not exactly the same thing. While I’m sure this NYT liberal and I would not agree on much- and a lot of these delayed adults will never get there - I would say this: if people are living a lot longer, it would only be logical that some stage development would skew by a few years.”
2: “Cats and dogs don’t have the pressure of paying taxes, holding a job, supporting a family. I don’t buy your analogy at all as valid.
And in fact, I do have an analogy with cats and dogs that prove my point: inside cats and inside dogs far outlive outside cats and dogs measured species to species.......”
For you, I would suggest perhaps some writing and thinking exercises. It is neither polite nor honest to falsely accuse a fellow FReeper of”making things up. A little mind plasticity in your case might be helpful.
