AnnoyingKidNextDoor:
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.

And with all this 'advice' you Drew your own conclusions?

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

He'd still have the debt, plus incur another one for the euthanasia. Unless he whacked his mother the day after retirement age.

JoeBagadonutz: 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!

Hey, an arrogant asshole with a sense of entitlement that lacks the upbringing to take resposibility for the action of his own dick? I can't understand why he's not overflowing with respect for you.

Guess I've been playing too much L4D.

Kill the lawyer. Not only do you reap revenge, you get a bed, food and lots of friends for the next 30 years.

At least this may cheer you up (pops)

RemyDuron: tchamber: 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.

Come on, you guys couldn't even get pot legal. Don't get all high and mighty.

By the time boomers were mostly in charge, they had found God, become conservative, and were dead set against letting their children do ANYTHING like what they had done as kids. So, no bike riding without pads and helmets, playground equipment with swings and slides that wouldn't, the RIAA to take care of the demon music that kids wanted to listen to but not pay for- conveniently forgetting all of those mix tapes that they passed around, starting the 'War on Drugs', dress codes in school, railing against long hair, etc, etc.....

Listen to the lyrics of Billy Joel's 'Angry Young Man'. Everything that he sings about the Boomer generation representing is everything that the Boomer Generation now hates and is trying to repress.

And since I am marginally one of them: BUWAHAAHAAHAAAA!

This is the very reason I have my Mossberg and three shells readily available.

RemyDuron: 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.

That is too insightful and concise for FARK.

Also true.

leegalizit: Guess I've been playing too much L4D.

Came here to post this.. ah well.

Didn't RTFA or TFT.

I'm set up financially so that my kids won't have to pay my bills. But even if I weren't. I'd say they're liable for 18 years (and in one case 23 years) of taking care of me, changing my diapers, and everything else after I can no longer do so myself.

Did anyone bother to read the article? It's about a Boomer whose mother is screwing him over by not paying her medical bills, and whose daughter is screwing him over by not paying back her student loans.

Hey subby: It's the boomer getting screwed by his parent (50 would mean he was born in 1959 near the tail end of the bommers.)

-1 for the poor math/reasoning skills
another -1 for being on my lawn

die young - stay pretty

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

Talk to someone from HR about how different generations are in the workplace. They will tell you this is pretty much on topic.

While younger generations tend to prefer time off with family over high pay, baby boomers will sell their kids for a few shares of stock.

Just the reality of it, no need to get defensive. Can't change it now.

Likuid000: 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

I plan on living well into my 100's. I am going to drain every drop of SS that I possibly can. So suck it you young farks. You better be finding a 3rd job if you want to live past 65 now.

butterchik: ---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?

How is the bar exam studying going?

If children can be held responsible for their parents debts can the parents be arrested if their children repeatedly break the law as minors?

This could get interesting.

Oh goody, a boomer-bashing thread that doesn't have to do with L4D. This should get interesting.

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.

Yeah, I can't wait to inherit my parent's debt. It's going to be fun. Might as well figure out how to file bankruptcy now.

It felt good when I was typing it, although it seems sort of condescending and nasty upon rereading. Not really what I intended, and I was speaking rather generally. There are certainly people of older generations worth respecting and traditions worth upholding, but those judgments should be made individually and mere age of a person or practice does not prove it is wise.

Indeed. Nor youth fresh.

/well said

Did subby actually RTFA? Because the screwed-over party in this case was the boomer (50), whose mom stuck him with bills. And who is putting his kid through college. DIAF, you resentful, whiny little subby.

You have nothing to worry about, unless you're in PA apparently. If their debt load consumes their estate, the debt holders can't come after you for money. Look up privity of contract on wikipedia.

The PA case in the article is interesting, and I am surprised the legislature hasn't gotten rid of it.

I don't remember if the article specified the law as a statute or a common law. If common law, the PA supreme court could just overturn the sucker based on equity principles, of course it would probably cost more than the $8k to take it that far.

wee: That's a mighty wide brush some of you are painting the US population with...

Most Internet debates depend on painting everyone with wide brushes. Just reference any "Spiritualists vs. Atheists" argument, or "Conservatives vs. Liberals" wankfest. The xenophobia and provincialism displayed by all sides is often astounding.

It's no surprise a lot of this "conversation" is largely dominated by idiots slapping the tiresome "young is better, old is stupid" brush around, while getting spanked right back with the "old is better, young is stupid" paint roller. It's like watching a Mentos commercial duke it out with an Old Spice ad, only not as entertaining.

/we should all get along. Mentos and Old Spice both taste relatively the same, and neither is safe to swallow with Diet Coke

It's these rare glimpses of perfect lucidity that makes sifting through this fermented pile of digital shiat worthwhile. RemyDuron, my hat is off to you.

In my 6 or 7 years here, I have saved exactly 3 quotes from fark. You're number 4.

My mom did that, she might have an accident.

The legal concept of requiring children to support their parents predates colonial America.

"New," subby? Really?

Lorelle: Did anyone bother to read the article? It's about a Boomer whose mother is screwing him over by not paying her medical bills, and whose daughter is screwing him over by not paying back her student loans.

No, nobody read the article. Having an attention span long enough to read a whole web article is one of those useless, archaic abilities that young people don't feel they need.

fusillade762: If children can be held responsible for their parents debts can the parents be arrested if their children repeatedly break the law as minors?

I seem to remember reading something about parents being arrested if their kids get arrested for truancy too often.

Well, our grandchildren will still be paying for the national debt, soooo what the hell.

came here for L4D reference... thanks!

Gosh, you forgot the largest concern of all..FAT PEOPLE..pigs at the trough. They will be taking all the money real soon boomer basher. OBESITY the #1 killer on your doorstep.

WON'T SOMEONE THINK OF THE CHILDREN!?

To those of you who claim that my generation made this mess that we are in, you should know that our biggest regret is giving birth to pond scum like you. If we had it to do over again, we would have had our tubes tied before we reached puberty.

Now shut up, you filthy little turds. The best part of you ran down your mothers leg.

It's bullshiat... You knock boots, you're risking a dependant. But no one should be born into debt that you had no hand in creating.

Creditors choose the risks they take. If they roll snake eyes, they shouldn't be able to tap uninvolved parties to cover their losses.

I'm tellin' ya, They ain't Vampies.
