Immaturity Level Rising in Adults

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the is-not-are-too dept.

Ant writes to tell us that a Discovery News article is exploring the old adage, "like a kid at heart", which may be closer to the truth than we would like to admit. New research is showing that grown-ups are more immature than ever. From the article: "Specifically, it seems a growing number of people are retaining the behaviors and attitudes associated with youth. As a consequence, many older people simply never achieve mental adulthood, according to a leading expert on evolutionary psychiatry."

    Actually, color and flavor are the actual Latin words, colour and flavour are poor imitations of the French coleur and flaveur. Why the hell do you imitate the French, of all people?

    Naaah...you're confused --- this article means those adults who are always arguing about facts, as if they can never accept them.
