The adjective "lazy" only makes sense as a part of a specified context - there needs to be some agreed upon "work" or "use of energy" that the alleged lazy person is neglecting, or some shared purpose. This conversation is a non-starter because you assume these foreign-language speakers are operating under the same context as you. It's kind of like if I called you lazy for not going to the store and buying me a case of beer every week. EDIT: OK not exactly, but you get the point... demanding large life changes from others because you claim there is a benefit. This is the epitome of egotistical exuberance.
