Lucky for me my parents were both “I didn’t save anything for retirement, my kids will take care of me when I’m older”, so I don’t have to suffer through this.

    No, some people just raise up to the task.

    I hate this idea that parents “did something good” if they are pieces of shit but their kids turn out good. Especially if there is no evidence of it. Why people feel the need to do that is a mystery for me, like protecting the bad guy at any cost.

          Right = correct. Not necessarily “good.”

          It is the “correct” thing to obey the law, but since not all laws are good laws, obeying the law isn’t always “good.”
