There's no legal responsibility on me to be nice to my elderly parents either. Doesn't mean it's not The Right Thing To Do.

- sokoloff 11y agoWe legislate that you can't murder, torture, kidnap, or assault your parents. What you do beyond that is up to your conscience. Given that corporations are conscience-less entities, the de jure minimums become the de facto outcomes.
- paulddraper 11y agoRead the quote closer. It wasn't just talking about legal responsibility. It was talking about "patriotic duty", "sinister", "public duty", "voluntary", and "morals". Being mean to your elderly parents conflicts with a few of these ideals.
