Pretty sure it's mostly a learned behavior. I'm adopted and share most of the same social and cultural norms and worth ethic as my father - there is no possible way for it to be genetic.

Your highly scientific analysis has compelled me.

Your highly scientific analysis has compelled me.

Your non-sarcastic response to an opinion, not a research theory, has intrigued me.

TLDR.

The Gattica effect, man. F genetics. Gonna live MY life.

The more important question is, can I go on disability for it?

I could overcome my genetics, too, if it would impress Uma Thurman.

Yes, but unfortunately it would require a lot of effort.

Put me in the no camp by the way. I think people will generally do what is expected of them, and so I think it is a learned behavior.

Nature trumps nurture.

I'm too lazy to read the article or any of these posts.

You mean except for the scientific proof thing from the article. There's also a lot of different health issues that could be passed on that affect a persons energy levels such as Hypothyroidism.

You say one thing, by saying it's a learned behavior, but then explain the exact opposite when you say you are just like your father.

Now if you said you're dad was a lazy ***, but you bust your hump a good 14 hours a day and love it, you might have something there.


HAHA, just read your post above, sorry. I wonder if being a ****** reader is genetic. I'll have to ask my dad if he sucks at it too. I read that as I've adopted my dad's work ethic.

but you don't know if your real parents are lazy or not.
