I'm sure most people see things they feel are ridiculous every day and end up having to participate at some level. Anyone who is able to live without feeling that way is either in a fantasy world or incredibly strong willed.

When I see this line trotted out, it's nearly always referring to someone being in a group of people that are doing things that are widely held to be unacceptable. I see that saying as an attempt at trying to have it both ways -- to continue to engage in unacceptable things without having to take responsibility for doing so.
