#1 The downside is, they want lifetime jobs and not to have to move.

But if we offered them green cards.....

#2 Yes, and we do, too, mostly. But we accept that it isn't likely to happen, and we find ways to be happy within the strictures of reality.

#3 I don't buy this rebelling and pendulum swinging. I spent a fair amount of time working in Germany about 5 years ago and what struck me was how risk averse the Germans were, which I attributed to the disasterous German experience in the 20th century. Its natural for the young to take risks. Conservatives would in general say make your own choices, take your risks, just be sure you can live with the consequnces.

#4 14% unemployment can change many attitudes. As with any economy, the young are impacted more than other working classes. The whole generation is impacted.

#5 human nature is human nature. If you raise a bird in captivity, keep it in a cage, and free it's offspring - if they survive, eventually it will be impossible to distinguish them from any other bird of the same species.

#6 I think I read this on Bros Judd, a poster recently commented he was talking to a German acquaintance and the German said there's a church 1-2 towns over that's packed every Sunday and tons of kids.

He asked if the pastor had ever been to America and the answer was yes. The German didn't put 2&2 together.

1 successful vibrant church will breed more.
