Has nothing to do with US life that’s just you not listening to the video you watched . I don’t care where you’re from , I am aggressive when it comes to dumbassery though

Well, it has lots to do with daily life. For starters, a 96 year old taking care of his disabled son is a crazy scenario in much of the world, so I guess that’s a big cultural shock to me.

Also the judge says, “taking care of family is what is America is all about”, which implies this kind of situation are part of American culture, so I was curious if the country renounces to take care of elders and sick people because they see it as moral imperative for their relatives and think people in need are only their families responsibility.

This kind of behaviour is so odd I wanted to ask if it was regular in the US or it is only that judge being an insensitive prick

“I was curious if the country renounces to take care of elders and sick people because they see it as moral imperative for their relatives and think people in need are only their families responsibility”

So you asked if Americans thought taking care of family was exclusively an American thing? Seems like a pretty separate question to me.

Well, I am sorry I didn’t met your expectations. As I said, American culture is widely unknown here apart from the usual stereotypes about school shootings and unhealthy food

I have no expectations of you. I just don’t understand your explanation of why you asked the question. It doesn’t align with the responses your question illicits.

It’s ok if you don’t. No judging from my side
