Not everything is this black and white. I eat meat, but I think it's wrong to torture dogs for sport. We are talking about long term torture - hanging, electrifying, and doing horrible things to them with the goal of making them mean and nasty. That is so much different than someone going hunting if they are going to eat what they kill. I have no problem with hunting if the hunter is going to eat their kill. That doesn't mean I like every form of hunting. And it doesn't mean that I think what happens to animals in most slaughterhouses is okay either. There are humane ways to raise animals for food. |
No, that's not true at all. I don't believe that. No matter what your weight, if you wear nice clothes that fit your size and get your haircut in a current (doesn't have to trendy) hairstyle you will look good. You can always work on your weight slowly over time, and you don't have to wait until everything is perfect to try and look good. I gained a lot of weight a few years ago and let myself go because of the weight gain, but then I got sick of that and got my haircut and got some nice clothes that fit me and I felt a lot better about myself. I have lost a lot of weight and I'm still chubby, but it means something to me to do the best with how I look right now. I can't lose the weight overnight, but I'm not going to look in the mirror every day and hate what I look like waiting for everything to be perfect. I do feel a bit judgmental toward overweight people who claim they want to lose weight but don't even try. That's my issue. If you are okay with your size, that's fine with me. But it just drives me crazy when my friend who is really overweight sits there talking about how no matter what she does she can't lose weight, and she's telling me this as she eats 2 candy bars, not just as a special treat, but she eats stuff like this throughout the day. And she sees my weight loss as something that must have been easy to do, since I lost 40 pounds and she's still fat. She thinks I'm lucky. I'm not, I've just been working at it. |
Yes it is. |
That's funny - I judge people who never curse as extremely uptight and rigid in their thinking. |
Wow, some of the breastfeeding commentary is so sad. Women MUST breastfeed or be judged badly. God help you if you are on medication that prevents you from breastfeeding. (Tons of other legitimate reasons not to do it that this breastfeeding mom can think of, including it just didn't work out for someone. Certainly no reason to judge someone's mothering skills.)
But, wait -- don't you dare breastfeed too long! Gotta get that kid off your breast quickly or you'll be judged for that too! God forbid someone breastfeeds longer than YOU think is right. Sad, sad, sad. We give it to each other coming and going. |
I judge people who can't wrap their heads around the fact that not everybody can have babies the "regular" way. It doesn't mean they will not be good parents. In most cases it means they have a stable life, a big heart and a lot of love to give. And they want kids to share that with. I judge people who think like you as being ignorant. I judge people who say things like "_______ forever!" |
i LOVe people who use replacement words. |
I judge people that can't get over the fact that they cannot produce offspring so they buy stranger's reproductive cells just to pretend they had a kid.
Or even worse, they pay someone to carry the child and take the kiddo away to pretend they had it. The kid is not yours anyway so why don't you raise a kid that is already out there waiting for help? Yes, I judge people that are so selfish to the point they'll let a kiddo die just because they want to pretend they had their own child. |
dogfighting should be illegal, but the penalty should be maybe 6 months (all suspended) and a fine. 2 years in jail is ludicrous.
I judge people that get soooo worked up about pets and treat them as if they were your kids. Weird. Americans are so strange about their dogs. |
I really don't judge ignorant people. I feel sorry for them, they obviously can't help that they are stupid. |
I judge women who work out like fiends well into their pregnancies. I'm not talking about continuing to be active and get exercise - that's all well and good - I'm talking about the crazies who proudly boast that they continued running into their third trimester, then switched to spinning classes for something "less intense". To me that screams "more concerned with my looks than my baby!" |
Here is another kind of people that I judge:
People who sell their reproductive cells to people who want to pretend they had kids. This folks - the sellers and the buyers - don't think about the danger of kids from a same "seller" meeting during adult life and producing offspring. Oh well, everybody had such "ewwwwwww" reactions when mackenzie phillips said her dad slept with her. I can't get over the fact that people actually think incest is gross when it is known but it is ok when it's unknown and we're not doing anything to avoid it. EEEEEWWWWWWWWW GROSSSSSS!!! |
Wow. I have mixed feelings on some of the reproductive technologies out there, and sometimes think people go to extremes to have their "own" child, but I couldn't generate even .001% of the vitriol in your post, PP. You're a remarkably hateful person. I would say "shame on you" but I suspect you have no ability to feel shame, as that would require some sort of empathy or conscience, and based on your post, those must be lacking in your life. |
Have you read that today medicine and science believe that exercising is actually good for the pregnant mother and baby? Have you read that pregnancy is not a disease and there's nothing wrong with exercising the same intensity being preggo or not? Have you read that your body tells you when to slow down or stop? You just have to listen to it. I think you should read a little more too. ps. I'm not the work out mom you're talking about. |
PP I am one of those women and I can honestly say that I believe that the reason I had three easy preg. was bc I continued my workout regime. For some of us-workouts are a big stress reliever as well as one of the few times we have time to ourselves. What you call a fiend might be normal for a lot of women. Now of course as a bonus-returning to my pre-preg size/weight was easy. Everything is relative |
