Shotgun 1 #52 November 7, 2008 Quotejust ponder it a while. Well, this is what you said: "let's lift the ban on gay marriage. and on polygamy. and on marriage to children. and to animals. and inanimate objects. YEA!"

I guess I see hypocrisy as (a) expecting others to meet your standards, which you preach at them and (b) failing to do so yourself. If you don't try to control others, and only worry about yourself... you're not a hypocrite when you fail to meet all of your own goals, just human.www.WingsuitPhotos.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Being a hypocrite is just when YOU don't follow what YOU preach, not that you expect other people to do the same as you. Like if I were to say I was against putting children in daycare right after they're born so mom can go back to work, but I do that very thing... then I'm a hypocrite. Expecting others to do what you do is something else. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
