+6At 18, except in rare cases, I think the youth SHOULD still be living at home with their parents. I wouldn't recommend living on one's own until at least 21. At 18, you're still sort of a kid. Too young to move out, in my opinion.
What a loser.
Perhaps he should have taken better advantage of the Playgirl shoot and gotten some more money out of the deal. He really had nothing else to fall back on.
And if he'd taken better advantage of the deal, he'd have gotten more money then and perhaps an invite to do another shoot of some kind with them. As I said, he had nothing else to fall back on.
Whether or not he would have partied away the money is irrelevant at this point. It involves a lot of hypothetical questions with multiple variables.
There are theories that have been generated when the possibility of time travel has been discussed. One such theory is that going back in time and changing one seemingly insignificant thing can have drastic consequences for the present time.
I bring this up because the idea of him having made better of the Playgirl shoot could have changed his direction in life. It's all hypothetical, of course, but the same idea makes it impossible to say that he would have partied away the money if the shoot had gone better.
We are shaped by what happens to us. One event, or even the positivity/negativity of that event, can lead us different ways.
He had the misfortune of getting involved with Bristol Palin and then his attempt to break free with the Playgirl shoot failed, in part because he didn't make the most of it. Partying away the money after that is an easy path to follow.
Change any aspect of it, and you can't honestly say you know what would happen.
I was responding to your original statement (and the Levi Johnston situation), as follows:

"These days it happens all the time as the only option of survival. After all, what can you do when you can't even get a job at McDonald's or Wal-Mart because the market is so flooded with unemployed and things actually aren't getting better?

I don't know where you live that "no one" can get a job. I got laid off a few years ago, and since then, I have gotten FOUR jobs - each one better than the last. At the current one, which I think I will stay at for at least a while, I AM one entire department in the facility, plus support all of the other departments, so I create value and the owner dotes on me for it. I certainly wasn't given anything I now have in life, but I made the most of what I had and refused to make excuses for not succeeding.
Why I think Levi Johnston is a sleaze is because he is an absentee father and shirks his responsibilities. Partying away the playgirl money is just the tip of the iceberg, the lower part is that in which he didn't get a re...

Why I think Levi Johnston is a sleaze is because he is an absentee father and shirks his responsibilities. Partying away the playgirl money is just the tip of the iceberg, the lower part is that in which he didn't get a real job and quit expecting Everyone/Life to give him a free ride. He should not be living off his mother, especially since he HAS a baby. He needs to quit BEING a baby and be a man.
THAT being said...I stand by what I said before.
Don't blame me for your hard luck. In fact, don't blame anyone. God helps those who helps themselves. Next, I'm sure you'll tell me you're an atheist, too. (SMH...again.)
Get off your high horse and don't put words into my mouth.
"God helps those who helps themselves." Give me a break. I've been job hunting for nearly 6 years. I've filled out enough applications to fill 5 drawer filing cabinet, and then some.
You don't know anything about the medical conditions that hindered my job search for years - including costing me TWO jobs because of incompetent doctors - and you don't know anything about the work I've put into trying to get a job. Including getting a 2 year degree that is useless and currently working on a 4 year degree.
And how the hell did you fall upon the idea of atheism in this whole conversation? Just because I expect to get what I earn without God giving it to me on a platter does not make me an atheist.
I am not pushing them to move out because I want them to be ready. If they are really ready, they have a better chance at succeeding.
Besides, it is ultimately the guys fault since it's the father that is going to be removing the guy from the gene pool... By getting the father's daughter pregnant, he is disrespecting the father and saying that he is not afraid of anything that the father could do to him... Don't mess with us old guys... We might not be able to beat you, so we'll just have to kill you...
If you don't want kids, get clipped as soon as you legally can... Otherwise, you'll find that your woman gets to the point where her biological clock starts ticking and she'll say, "I only want ONE..." Been there, done that, have the headache...
That being said, Levi Johnston is a wanker.
