Your views (liberal/socialist,....) can change over time too as some of them are age related. As the saying goes "If you're a conservative as a youngster, you don't have a heart, if you're not a conservative at middle age, you don't have a brain.".
Also, you can be exposed to a different culture and learn to like things, for example, most Europeans don't understand why on earth someone would like to watch baseball, but some learned to like it due to prolonged exposure.
Another example: I think most Europeans have their guards up talking to Americans about politics, as they know the other side would probably just consider them to be a 'pink commie bastard'(TM).
That old saying is a special kind of unfalsifiable crud that's just used to either discard the views of young people or mock the views of old people as stupid. There's plenty of old people who aren't conservative, and tons of conservative old people who are brainless. And plenty of every other combination imaginable.
