No, not at all. Many people proudly tell us that was how they were raised. What we see is some other force guiding them as to what to do without independent thought as to why they are doing it. "I was raised to....." implies to me that you do what you were told without thought.

Okay, I see what drew the comment now. I apologize.
I do, however, resent your implication that I can't think for myself. On the contrary, it is much harder to NOT do things that you are told to do, when you know that they are immoral or unethical. I have refused to do LOTS of things on those grounds over the years.
I walked away from a GREAT paying job one time, because they were telling me to do something against proper business ethics. Does that sound like someone that does things they are told without thought?
