Also, in Israelite society, a man with aging parents is required to take care of them until they die, so a man who is wasting money, getting drunk, and refusing to listen to his parents correction probably isn't taking care of his parents when they depend on him for survival, just like he once depended on them.
Respect for elders was a lot more meaningful back then and there than it is in the 21st century western world.
I would like to give you triple kudos, I've explained this several times here and yet no one wants to listen. Something else they miss in the verses, if it were children of young age, as they want to point out, then why are girls not mentioned, they were not expected to keep up their elderly parents and other such important things.

Need to study up on your bible, friend.
Deuteronomy 21:18-21
Quote:If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, which will not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother ... Then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him, and bring him out unto the elders of his city ... And they shall say unto the elders of his city, This our son is stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton, and a drunkard. And all the men of his city shall stone him with stones, that he die.
A Roman Catholic and a Southern Baptist agree on scripture, you guys do see that we study scripture and the history of the times, we desire to bring the truth of scripture to others. Pretending and lying only hurts everyone.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
