Would you like a shovel to dig that hole deeper that shows what kind of individual you really are? What I have quoted below shows exactly that...
The fact that you would associate with, and willingly call someone who is a thief a friend speaks volumes about your integrity.
errr...thats because it is and once you have grown up and assumed the responsibilities that come with a career (again not a jo but a career), home ownership, family, etc. you will realize that. I am away from my house and the things that interest me M-F from six am to six pm. This is in addition to having to put in an additional 4-16 hours on the weekend at home just to be able to stay caught up with things at work. When I get home I need to cook, clean, and do other things required to maintain a household, and that is without having the responsibility of a wife or children. As a result I need to pick and chose very carefully how I spend my free time and what information I am willing to absorb. In a nutshell, I only focus on the details of things (my hobbies) that interest me greatly and ignore the facets of other things.
I will admit I do get what your saying. I am guessing you are in your early 20's or so. As a result it probably seems like you have all the time in the world, this will change however. I am 43 and up until my late 20's/early 30's I had less responsibilities than I do now, and as a result was able to keep up with what is current in terms of computer technology, and I was the one frequently helping out my elders with their computers, but I never thought of or called them stupid, I understood they did not have the time to devote to understanding the technology.
These days however life is much different from me, so if I need something to fulfill a task I usually tell people I need something to do "X, Y and Z", and than sort through the responses to find what I think will do the job best for me.
