I wasn't "raised" to wear a seatbelt-do I have to now?
that public service initiative came when I was about 10 or so. Same with littering. Hell I was 14 when the movement to actually punish drunkdriving got into high gear but I wasn't completely "raised" with that mindset, so is maybe 5 drinks okay?

What if I was "raised" in a world of child abuse? (to put it nicely) Is it okay for me to abuse me child? I mean "that's the way I was raised" :shrug:

What about animal abuse?

What if I was "raised" in a world of poverty? Since I was poor then should I not try to change that?
