Of course we are all guilty, but there is nothing that can rise higher than religion on the scale of hypocritical bullshit.
What places, people, situations, etc do you find hypocritical?

Maybe, maybe not. There are plenty of incredibly hypocritical people, ideas, etc. I'm a fairly hypocritical person (I wish not to be, and I am trying my best to not be such anymore).TomLikesGuitar said:

every person that responds to this tread (besides me) they all say one thing and live an another....
These threads always just turn into "anything that relates to conservatism"
OT: Maybe some of you know about the whole MachinimaRespawn deal?
Long story short, One of the major players in the community said he was sick of the way this community is growing.
A bunch of the lesser players made responses, one of them completely talking about how he hated the people who start drama, when a few months before hand he had completely destroyed a smaller commentators chance of ever getting big by basically bashing him over a video.
I called him a hypocrite, he didn't like that.

OOH OOH
One of my friends needs to rub it in everyone's face that his sister is getting married (to another woman) and when ANYBODY uses a word REMOTELY anti-gay (ie, "Your car is pansy compared to my truck"- pansy meaning wimpy) he needs to rip into them vehemently for being an intolerant bigot.
He'll then go directly towards a joke mocking Hispanics because it's funny and therefore not racist.

Well, one time I met a kid who, when he met people, would always ask them what they thought of the band Rush. If they said they didn't like it, he'd ask them if they'd heard at least 5 of their songs. If they said no, he would decide that their opinion of the band was invalid.
The same kid said that rap was not music. And he couldn't even name five RAPPERS.
But more importantly, HOW THE FUCK ARE PEOPLE GETTING CANDY??!! I only got some marshmallow ghosts.

My choice might be a little...odd, but it happened to come up a few days ago in a discussion with my friend and this topic reminded me. I doubt anybody here has seen it, but there was a TV show ages ago -- I forget the name -- that focused on taking ordinary women from the street and letting them compete against real models to win a modelling contract with whatever company; it was presented by the wife of the footballer Wayne Rooney, and I think her name was either Collette or Colleen, I'm not sure.
Anyway, that's irrelevant. I (rather unfortunately) happened to catch an episode of this once, and throughout the entire show the term 'real women' (i.e. a regular-sized woman, rather than a size triple-zero) was thrown about so many times it was laughable, but that's not what I got annoyed at: what truly annoyed me was how it was constantly implied that you can only be a 'real' woman if you have curves. Uh, what? I can only applaud introducing size fourteens into the modelling world, but considering that they were meant to be promoting equality for women's sizes in the first place, it was so damn hypocritical when they acted like models weren't even human beings, as though a woman being a 'real' and 'genuine' depended entirely on if they had a sizeable enough ass.
Also, I hate how some larger women mock the hell out of thin women, but when the former get called 'fat' (even if they're a size thirty) suddenly all hell's broke loose, because they're just 'curvy' or 'big-boned'. Then the genuinely curvy are mixed up with the grossly obese, just as size-zero anorexics with a serious problem get confused with smaller sizes like six and eight. It's all just so pathetic.
I'll stop ranting now. :/ It's a crazy world, I'm tellin' ya.

basic human sub-conscious thoughts and everything that ever came of it?
the human mind is far too pointlessly complex, stupid and inconsistent to not contradict itself at some point; a lot of obvious hypocrites (zealots, politicians, political extremists) wholeheartedly do not believe themselves to be such because they are too stupid or delusional to ever consider the possibility.
no person embodies this more than..sadly enough... my grandmother of all people. she's a mexican immigrant that hates mexican immigrants, mexican culture, and, well, mexicans. she talks about political extremists screwing up our country then goes on to call FOX news the only objective news out there. she tells me i have no idea what im talking about when it comes to social issues then pulls some utterly contrived correlation between pot, homosexuality, and pollution out her ass.
and the worst part is, being a mexican family and therefore breeding as soon as humanly possible, shes only 55, so i cant even blame senility.

Anyone who is part of a current or former opressed group of people who is against equality.
Any for example, black people who are anti-LGBT to me might as well say "I missed slavery".

The problem being is that by having "black" and "white", you will still have some distinction between the races. It's not that it's necessarily wrong to do so, but the problem is that so long as you continue to consider each race unique you will inevitably have people who act/think on the basis of the separation. Remember, group names are designed to specifically separate, and that separation automatically implies a certain level of inequality, that's my point.TheComedown said:
So what? This shit is going to happen with everything, look at the kids that get picked on the most in school, in an all white school there is still inequality. Saying that its hypocritical to use the terms "black" and "white" is just stupid, its the same as saying its hypocritical to say "blonds" or "ginger kid" or that someone is "big" etc.MikailCaboose said:
