@coliver I saw this on the news yesterday morning. I get that this is the "only" road usable, but why can't they move this road back from this cliff edge and put in a barrier?
Cost. That's almost always why it's like that. You are talking about a huge, poor country with more road to put barriers on than they can afford. They have good roads in the cities, but this was way out in the middle of nowhere.

This is insane. What if you have the worst parents in the world? Also consider the amount he's already paid.

None of your reaction is appropriate. This is a signed contract between adults that he was attempting to break. It also has nothing to do wit the parents being good or bad.

"The principle is backed up by law in Taiwan, where adults are legally prohibited from abandoning their parents."
The above is the insane part. What if you have terrible parents? Are you obgligated under law without contract to care for them? I understand the contract.

None of that has anything to do with the court case at hand.
You are mixing things.

It's contained within the same article, which is why I bring it up. That is a crazy law that the Taiwanese people have to deal with

Simple answer is just kill your parents once they're no longer useful (baby sitters etc).

Why? Just because their culture codified something into a law that you do not like?
What makes you better?

I assume human beings in Taiwan still have to deal with the same issues we do here such as pedophiles, child abuse, etc etc. Yet they have a law that states these children cannot abandon their parents and must take care of them? You don't see an issue there?
-
@wirestyle22 well sure. . .
But I would also assume they have laws to protect the community and punish people that do such things. Thus the child doesn't need to take care of their pedobear parents.
-
@dustinb3403 It's an assumption though. The only thing we know for sure is there a law saying otherwise. We don't know what special circumstances stop it from being applicable.
-
@wirestyle22 ok... but do you think in any part of the world molesting your own child isn't punishable by prison (or other means)?
-
@dustinb3403 so the kid is 8 when it happens. Patent goes to jail for 20 years. Kids 28 and still has to take care of them

That is how it's presented in the article. They don't list any ways that law does not apply. I'm wondering if that kind of stuff exists

It's a modern intelligent country. I can't imagine that kind of stuff wouldn't exist.

I agree with @JaredBusch on this one. I believe you do have a responsibility to take care of your parents (notwithstanding abusive relationships etc.) when they get older. I am planning on taking care of my parents. They are in their 70s now and my Dad is in a wheelchair, so I already do all the maintenance I can for them at their house, I will pay plumbers to do plumbing, I can do it but I hate every minute of it. I live about 3 miles from them and one of the reasons is so I can be close if they need something. I do this because they sacrificed for me because they love me. I will do the same for them because I love them. Now I am helping my children get through college and I have sacrificed things for them. I don't expect money or anything as I have planned for my future. I do expect them though to help me when I get old, especially if I become unable to manage my own affairs.

It's a tough thing to prove. And what about parent abandonment, a major issue in a lot of countries. BBC ran a headline article about the problems with the abandoned children of priests just yesterday.

Huge thing I read here - you had a good relationship with your parents. I on the otherhand did not. Very mentally abusive, etc childhood.
That said, I haven't put my parents out into the streets, but I also don't believe it's their children's responsibility to take care of them. Once we become adults, we are responsible for ourselves.
