Boomers Lawyers have found a new way to screw us... with credit reports T-Shirt

FTFY

Lawyers will sue anyone to get money for themselves and a few dollars for their clients.

The law they are using goes back to colonial days, long before there were 'Boomers'.

The 50 yr old man getting sued to pay his mother's medical bills IS A BABY BOOMER!!!!

If pre-colonial laws are valid in America then I saw lets bring back some Celtic laws!

How about chopping off a limb for heresy!

"Your honor, I call the prosecution to the stand. Sir, how do you feel about ZOSO THE GOAT GOD!!??"

Rodeodoc: 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.


Then who is to pay your Social Security?

Hey legal brain people: Couldn't you counter sue for something like this? Or take it to a farking judge and say:

"Look, your Honor, this is horseshiat. Even if it is legal, it is so farking wrong. Now please, let me bite this corrupt lawyer's balls off."

How the hell could something like that even be enforced? If he didn't pay up, then what the hell are they going to do? Throw him in jail? Reck his credit rating (which I assume he could litigate as well).

I just have difficulty imagining any judge or jury agreeing with this situation.

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.

Wow. Just... wow. You should write a book or do lectures. You just summed up so much so succinctly. Damn. Damn.

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

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!


Jews/Boomers/Blacks. Whoever can take the blame eh, spineless one? I see a bright future in politics for you .

I am familiar with medicaid and nursing home eligibility in PA. I had never heard of this. I am surprised. When children take their parent's assets, or try to hide them it causes a period of ineligibility for granny. If kids took $50,000 out and cant account for it, then granny is ineligible for Medicaid to pick up costs for a year or so. The home cant kick granny out if no one is paying. THEN someone ought to go after the kids. It doesnt sound like this is what happened here though. Her ihcome is probably about $2400 a month at my estimate and she could have got help. Maybe she had too many resources (bank accounts, property,) to be eligible for medicaid period.

It's absolutely amazing how many farkers here think their parents should die immediately so they won't ever have to pay a cent themselves.

I wonder how many of these felt it their constitutional right to have a Nintendo 64 in their bedrooms hooked up to a color television with cable. Some of these also wish their parents dead, today. 15 years ago they knew full well who was paying for tuition. They still know if times are really tough who they'll call first to ask for help. (Hint: it won't be a Generation X'er.)

Children, just shut the hell up and do whatever you can to support those who supported you. You were no picnic the first 30 years of your life. Your parents probably never told you no. It's time to return the favor.

 
johnny_vegas [TotalFark] 2009-07-12 07:38:19 PM  
From the Virginia law:
This section shall not apply if there is substantial evidence of desertion, neglect, abuse or willful failure to support any such child by the father or mother, as the case may be, prior to the child's emancipation or, except as provided hereafter in this section, if a parent is otherwise eligible for and is receiving public assistance or services under a federal or state program.

Boomers causing the economic meltdown is pretty well documented at this point. In fact many point out it was predicted by your parents/predecessors as "unsustainable" when you first entered the workplace and started taking charge.

Now without kids, who would bail you out and pay for your SS checks? Seems if anything Baby Boomers need to be producing more kids to help cover the bills.

Well, that was a terrifying article. My parents and I are fiscally responsible, but my in-laws are financial disasters. They spend more than they should, default on loans, get behind on their rent to the point that they've been evicted from several places, you name it. They even raided my husband's student loans and spent it on themselves because, hey, it was money they had access to. I'm really grateful that, once my husband was out on his own and away from their influence, he discovered that living within his means and paying bills on time was not an impossible expectation. He still has to deal with some crap from his earliest credit cards because one of his mom was on the account and she went one of her sprees.

On top of that, his parents are both morbidly obese and in denial, so they're wracking up the health problems. (Yet another habit my husband had to kick -- he was in therapy for, among other things, an unhealthy relationship with/perception of food. He's lost over 100 pounds.) You can bet that they're going to have outrageously expensive hospital bills, and that they're not going to pay them.

The thought that their complete lack of responsibility could have that sort of impact on my husband, who's done everything humanly possible to undo the damage from his parents' bad influence, and me (and our as-of-yet unborn children) is, as I said, terrifying. Good thing we're not in PA.

I've already paid over a 1/3 million into.

Farkin Generation X and their "Greed is Good" MBA fueled mantra is what brought us where we are today.

ooh, oooh, I have a great idea, lets deregulate all business and trust that corporations will act with honesty and integrity so that they make lots and lots of profit! Maybe some of that will trickle down

Yeah, well, not so fast young whippersnapper. That didn't work out so well now, did it?

And I seriously doubt that GaryPDX will ever climb out of his momma's basement long enough to procreate, so him havin granchildren seems a longshot. Don't know why he keeps bringing up that same old tired meme

Yes, because you paid for your conscious decision for 18-21 years, they should be forced to pay your societal debts until they die. Seems...logical. No, wait, the other one - moronic.

Also, you're a presumptuous cock. Some of us put ourselves through college.

Some of us were also raised in a way that we paid for a great deal of of frivolous non-necessities.

In short, shut up and shove it. There are people who will get my respect, and you're not one of them.

Sorry, I haven't collected all the money I've paid into Social Security yet. But I'm enjoying the retired life. Maybe you'll live long enough to do the same, or then again, maybe you'll just die already.

I understand that means your parents no longer have a legal responsibility to support YOU, but is there a reverse thing were you don't have any responsibility to support them?

I know lots of long married folks divorce to protect each other from medical bills etc. so the blood suckers can't go after the spouse.

Post an ad in the paper that says I no longer have any responsibility to person X.

Kids have no legal responsibility to support our parents. That is why they created Social Security. Now that it is broke, they have to find some way to pay for it. So the parents liquidate and give the money out to the kids before they die. It doesn't change the fact that people paid Social Security taxes their whole life and now the government owes it back. It is not the kids fault that FDR was a moron.

Mmm, maturity comes with age, I see.

What amount am I allowed to deduct for every time my mother beat me? Is it a different rate for an open fist? Closed fist? Found object (my mother:beatings::Marcel Duchamp:art)? How much credit do I earn for the outings with friends (which were terribly difficult to make because of my mother) I was denied at the last minute for reasons as varied as, "You put too much in the washing machine" to, "You put too little in the washing machine."?

You want some fun? Research Borderline Personality Disorder. I think just living with an individual with that should allow me at least $500K or so.

Using the Great Depression and Roosevelt's actions as a way to support the rationale behind the recent economic "stimulus" packages is a losing strategy.

This article actually scares the living hell out of me. My adoptive parents are in the process of moving to Pennsylvania, and while it sounds like my dad will be making some acceptable amount of money they have debts up the wazzoo racked up around the country and basically will spend every last cent they can get their greedy hands on (including mine, both sides of my grandparents, and various "friends" of my dad) on fancy food and gambling. I have people who get my phone number already and harass me for debts incurred by my parents. My parents are irresponsible and can in no way handle money, and I have no desire to be financially tied to them. Any FARK lawyers have any suggestions for how to avoid what is happening in this article?

DIGITALgimpus: 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.


Nice job painting all boomers with the same brush, jackass.

In any case, even if this were true, different generations were raised with different ideas of what working meant. When I was in HS my parents always told me to go to college so I could get a "good job" and make "good money". To them earning a high salary was something they had instilled in them. It didn't matter to them if you loved or hated your job. It only mattered that it paid well. They had it instilled in them by their parents who lived through the depression.

When we raised our kids, we taught them that yes, you should go to college and find a good career, but find something that you love doing.
