    Someone please explain to me why people can't except others for who they are? no matter if its their race, gender, sexuality, appearance, or whatever the reason. I wanna know why, and don't give me some religion excuse because if you were so religious you would EXCEPT ALL PEOPLE not sit and judge when no one is perfect!

    Everyone has their own individual set of morals run by the teachings of those they trust or love and their own insecurities.
    I've never met anyone who I thought was completely judgement free. I judge people all the time, though not for any of the factors you listed above.
    The best thing you can do is to try to be secure enough with who you are and what you believe that you can calmly and graciously accept what other people say and move on to your own tune. :)

    Awh good answr, and yes i am guilty of judging people as well but not for what i listed either, im talking about the people who judge to hurt, or set out with the intention of pointing out a person or group for some things listed above.

    I'm not sure that anyone actually "judges to hurt"... a judgement is just a reaction, based on preconceived notions or previous experiences. Generally, I think most people who make hurtful judgements genuinely believe the points they make will lead to a greater good or a greater understanding for those they're talking to. So far, internet trolls are the only creature I've encountered that make comments that even they consider negative.

    Lol, Dib... What is "\m/"? All I see is a two headed person waving with both arms... :P

    Tara, have you ever been on youtube and seen some really unnecessarily nasty comments? Those are trolls. They say mean things just to get a rise out of people, regardless of whether or not they believe what they're saying... most of the time, I think they don't. :)

    I picture all of humanity like a sphere of points of view where everyone has plastered themselves all over the inside in specific places based on how they appear, what they believe in, and so on so forth. two christian-catholic, wealthy white males with nearly identical beliefs and thought processes would wind up being right net to each-other in the sphere, where as the farther and farther in the opposite direction, say the opposite point on the sphere, is the view that he disagree with the most.

    that is to say a spatial representation of individual perspectives.

    close your eyes and imagine that for a second though, just bear with me.......

    we tend to surround ourselves with people who complement ourselves, who show us things about ourselves that we like, and who assist us in completing whatever goals we have in mind, plot that spatially too.

    you look at the opposite side of the sphere and you have not only the people who most oppose your views and appearances, but also those who work against you with contrary goals and intentions.

    pretend you understand this concept and can shift your position in the sphere at will and you just create another problem, you do get closer to who was previously your nemesis, but as you shift, new enemies are created for as long as you stay along the inside of the surface of the sphere.

    this is the problem with humanity. we are all so subconsciously determined to pin ourselves to the surface of this sphere, to remain around our complementary points of view. i would say that this sphere is evolutionarily significant. enemies bring people together, and people have an anthropological tendency to go suicidal without human companionship.

    so there you go, thats my opinion and way of looking at it anyway.

    Good answerrr!

    In order to make friends, you have to make enemies, its a dichotomy. the best way for you to not have any enemies at all is to have no friends at all, and vice versa. in a populational sense that means that none of you could like or dislike one another, otherwise this 'sphere' would take shape and create the stupidity known as racism.

    friends and enemies? truths and falsities?

    or people and un-meaningful events?

    clearly one is an easier existence in which to live, and so we do.
