Just because you say the same thing as them doesn't make you any more credible in my eyes. It tells me that you can parrot someone. This is just like people saying "I was brought up to......". Well, it tells me you are an idiot when you say that. You cannot think for yourself as to whether it is good, bad or indifferent. Dad did this and told me to do it so I do it whether it makes sense or not. Monkey see, monkey do.
