Yes, because that's all us baby boomers are looking to do with our lives - screw our kids.

Go and fark yourself, submitter. And stay the fark off my lawn.

This is bullshiat.

You dickheads already f*cked most everything else up. Saddled the next three generations with your debts, are draining social security...just hurry up and die already

you know, this law in combination with a euthanasia law could make things verrrry interesting.

If you loved your kids, you would just die already. You and your kind have made America a worse place than when you were given the keys. You are the first generation to do this as well. Please die!

I was estranged from my mother for the 10 years prior to her death this past February. The last 18 months, she was in a nursing home at a cost of almost 8k/month. She had assets to cover it, thank God.

If I'd ended up being legally responsible for her health care just because I managed to spew from her womb AND survive horrific child abuse, I would have gone postal.

This is utter BS and the law needs to be changed yesterday.

 
cehlen [TotalFark] 2009-07-12 01:30:55 PM  
Does anyone know if this law can be enforced in Ohio or Virginia?

 
IronTom [TotalFark] 2009-07-12 01:37:34 PM  
Whatever happened to respect your elders? instead of Nemo's Brother: If you loved your kids, you would just die already. You and your kind have made America a worse place than when you were given the keys.

I didn't expect this from you. Oh well. Too bad. I guess this is fark.

Respect is something that is earned, not handed out willy nilly.

I've had a couple credit companies who keep trying to get me on the hook for dad's bills. it's proving interesting trying to sort out his estate.

Commenting on the article: I don't think this is rare as we might imagine. I once was not allowed to get a refill on contact lenses because my parents had an outstanding debt with the optometrist. Fairly recently the dentist sent my husband's bill to my attention. Even though we have different last names. It's not fair, but you have to know that people who are owed money will go after it every way they can, including pressuring family.

Commenting on the boomer hate: Really? Can one possibly believe that folks born from about 1946 to 1964 are single-handedly responsible for the current state of government debt in the US? And how are they already draining Social Security? The oldest in the generation aren't even of retirement age yet (taking 65 as a typical retirement age). I'm assuming you must be thinking of the "Greatest" generation. The ones who have been on SS for years now. The ones who lived through the last depression and the horrors of WWII, and spent the rest of their lives scrimping and saving in case it happened again.

If you just hate old people because they're old, I can clearly see the attitude in wanting them all dead. Though I certainly would never be able to understand it. I have a differing viewpoint. I actually enjoy the company of people of all ages, young and old. But then again, I don't have a Pol Pot way of thinking either.

Precisely.

Hearing about this is enough to make me want to go get legally divorced from my estranged family. Just to make sure.

I thought credit reports already screwed us over by virtue of their very existence?

/and because they inspired those insipid commercials.

Tell them to talk to him and give the number to the cemetery.

This article was disturbing to read because I'm estranged from my family and I sure as hell won't pay for any of those useless farksticks.

You mean there's a way to screw over my tattooed, worthless, disrespectful son who bled me white for child support for 21 years? Yes! There is a God!

 
dustman81 [TotalFark] 2009-07-12 06:22:40 PM  
Wow, Pennsylvania. First your liquor laws and now this.

Of course, it didn't help the guy in the article that his mom is a complete and total biatch and flat out refused to pay what she owed.

cehlen: Does anyone know if this law can be enforced in Ohio or Virginia?

This is a Pennsylvania state law, so only if your parent occurred medical expenses in Pennsylvania would this affect you.

Your kids don't owe you a thing just because you screwed someone however many years ago and out popped Jr.

The quicker parents understand this the better.

Oh no, you had to pay for your children, what a travesty. I think there's a reason he doesn't respect you.

Put down that loan application, and just back away slowly

That's going full retard right there.

You know I'm thinking that she paid for his kids (ie her grandkids). If not, then the poster is really terrible.

Wouldn't a final judgment in PA court be enforceable in other states under the Full Faith and Credit Clause?

Courts in one state must give full faith and credit to judgments of courts in other states so long as:
1. the court that rendered the judgment had jurisdiction over the parties and the subject matter
2. the judgment was on the merits
3. the judgment is final

---I'm not sure if a PA court could establish jurisdiction over the parties, but I guess that's a matter of the particular case. Anyone know for sure?

Ha Ha! My thought exactly. The loser cranks out a kid and then can't believe he has a fiscal responsibility for the act. Idiiiiiiiot.

 
phlegmmo 2009-07-12 06:43:45 PM  
In 2006, the Wallingford Nursing & Rehab Center sued Fichera for not paying a $28,000 bill. Two years later, she accrued another debt at Brinton Manor in Glen Mills. This time, the nursing-home lawyer got creative.

Put the blame where it belongs.

 
namatad [TotalFark] 2009-07-12 06:44:51 PM  
you know, this is gonna get the banks sueing the parents when the kiddies go bankrupt

/lawl

I predict we will start seeing more accidental deaths of old people.
BRB, going to disown my family.

/the sins of the father

 
Jeffrey.Rodriguez 2009-07-12 06:44:59 PM  
Euthanize them, and the farker who came up with that law.

 
AnnoyingKidNextDoor 2009-07-12 06:45:39 PM  
I'm confused.

Fark told me that drinking and unlimited sex was good. Unless you bore offspring. Fark also told me this is because children were scum of the earth

Now Fark tells me that old people are worthless, and children (or former children) are getting screwed. Why is this?

Or maybe Fark has been telling me that every generation except your own must be destroyed.

The estate has to pay the bills before you get a penny.

Anyway, I thought debts couldn't pass from parent to child here. It seems to me this is unconstitutional.

 
RemyDuron 2009-07-12 06:46:32 PM  
IronTom: Whatever happened to respect your elders?

Technology and society began to advance at such a rate that elders began to appear not only stodgy and strict, which they always were, but often ignorant and bigoted compared to the youth. Instead of being the keepers of knowledge, elders became more like lost and angry children in a world they could no longer understand. Tradition, instead of being unifying, became constrictive and divisive and seemingly pointless.

 
chucklehead [TotalFark] 2009-07-12 06:47:16 PM  
I've never understood how it's legal for these credit agencies to harvest my information without my consent.

/hope there's a real Tyler Durden out there

If you just go with the "Crush All Humans" philosophy everybody gets covered.
