33. I can't disagree about the last part of statement.

I know I'm supposed to be hostile, but I can't disagree.

The first part of your statement, I haven't had the pleasure or displeasure of knowing anyone like that, or of growing up in an area where it was prevalent enough for me to witness. Thank God!! (See what I did there?)

So, I can't disagree or agree with the first part of your post. I would think it logical that being brought up that way, would be natural to continue the process.
