What are some of those traditional sayings that you think are bullshit?
I've had a few... Mostly, "Respect your Elders" - I was taught from a young age that if you want to have respect, you have to earn it. I think that respecting your elders is a bit unfair; just because someone is 80 doesn't mean they inherit the right to be respected. They deserve as much respect as the rest of the population, until proven differently.
30 year old Nazi, 80 year old Nazi. They do not have my respect. Doesn't matter how old they are.
