Practice what you Preach?

For some reason I have always been bothered by hypocracy. For people getting mad at someone doing something when they do it themselves. Or rather still getting mad when to me it should be obvious, or after it has been pointed out to you.

For example, my dad got tired of me yelling at my brother when he was trying to get on my nerves and told me that if I ignored my brother he will eventually give up. I got in trouble for not listening. Then my brother was fidgeting with something and it bothered my dad and he went off and I looked at him and told him, "If you ignore him, eventually he'll give up."

So what about you all, does it matter to you if you contradict yourself? I'll put a poll but you can elaborate.

Hypocrisy also pisses me off. But most people bitch at me when I complain about it because I'm also a giant hypocrite myself.

If you have some point you're trying to make about the philosophy of self-contradiction, I'd suggest you make it fast. Otherwise I'm moving this thread to a more suitable section (General, Gibberish, Waaaah, etc...).

Sorry, I guess that portion was just a rant.

I think that as a general practice you should at least try not to contradict yourself. If you find yourself yelling or being angry, then think about stopping doing it yourself. Don't you wish the person you're yelling at would do that?

We're all guilty of hypocrisy.

The true crime is not being able to admit it.

we all do it. we all hate it. some of us the two doesn't have a causal link. those are the real hypocrites.

Ooh nice. I wonder what else that applies to...

And what's wrong with yelling and being angry? So long as I don't have a problem with people who yell, and don't already consider myself a hypocrite, I can yell all the fuck I want.
