What saying or belief do people say that is complete bs?

One that always gets me is "family comes first".

Some of my family members are drug addicts, thieves, gamblers, alcoholics, and moochers. The nicer, more successful family members that followed this belief and tried to help them wound up broken financially, mentally, and in some cases physically. They looked down on me for not wanting to be in these troublemakers lives.

How about you guys? What saying or belief do people say that is complete crap?

Help us keep this site organized and clean. Thanks!

    Blood is thicker than water. Same thing as yours, basically. The thing is, the original quote is actually "the blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb". This means the exact opposite of the newer version people often use. So if you're ever annoyed by someone saying that, go ahead and school them.

    "You only regret the things you don't do." That's absolutely bullcrap. I peed on a horsefence as a small child. I regret that. I've let my anger get out of control. I regret that. Are there things that I regret not doing? Yeah. But I get over it. The things that I have done that I regret haunt me.

    "I'm Religious" or some variation on that such as "I'm a Christian"

    The people who really are don't have to say anything... their actions clearly show it.

    The ones that say it... are almost always anything but.. and trying to use the statement to justify some act that is anything but.
