Judgment

[bipolartendncys]

I have decided that I dislike the Idea of being tolerant of other peoples views. People who say this and say that no one should judge another persons culture are idiots

This can definitely be misconstrued I would not go around advertising that initial statement.

But I do understand what you are trying to say, and you bring up an excellent point.

[bipolartendncys]

haha, ill misconstrue what I want.

I do get what you are trying to say, however there is one part where the argument falls. People are free to judge, and we do it everyday. the "bad" part is acting upon those judgements, which we also tend to do but not really notice. The reason why people say "dont judge them" is because with judgement comes action, thus explaining the holocaust and various other fucked up things.

the thing that should be praised is realizing who/what/when/where is not your place to do something about it, as well as when action should be taken.

on a personal note: i love it when people "judge" me or give me that demeaning look. i love it for 2 reasons: i immediately see the shitbag that they are, and i give them the look back and typically walk away the winner

"dont taze me bro!"

I also see what you mean, that happens very often in life. However I dont think the argument falls, that would not be following the argument. This argument is an ideal, and clearly doesnt come to pass very often in real life, but just because it does not take place in reality very often doesnt mean the argument fails.

This post really didnt turn out the way I wanted. Ill probably try and write it at some point in the future.

i still think there is a lot of information left out for the argument to work

[bipolartendncys]

haha, I think the reason that we cant find examples of people who were too tolerant because that sort of thing, rarely if ever, makes history

[timmyboy369]

and sofia is ugly. that's not a judgment, but fact

I'm a bastard

my 3 cents:

wouldn't appeasement (WWII) be a good example of too tolerant.

[bipolartendncys]

Yes, but I'm not sure that it was in the spirit of tolerance that we appeased them. I think it was probably more along the lines of political repercussions, and Im not entirely sure on this, but once they started owning jews hardcore people were kind of like "...uhhh, somebody should probably do something about that."

Alright I got a little lazy and didn't read all the comments, but here's what I think.

I think the general idea behind "Don't judge me." is set up more for the actions that are taking after judging someone. In reality without judgment we would be unable to make decisions.

Tom you sort of covered this. When they say that people shouldn't judge, they are trying to imply that you should get to know what you are judging. Not just make a surface level decision.

They saying might not be very well done, but the meaning is there. Did that make any sense?
