Hypocrites have existed since time immemorial though. And not just on these sort of issues.

I try really hard to live as I say, but I am hypocrite too. I think it is all part of the human frailty myself.

Do as I say, not as I do...

PS: apparently I have to spread myself around...

This being a direct do as they say, not as I want

I think we are all hypocrites at times, I think it is part of the human ego. Being aware of it and honest about it is a step in the right direction to doing something about it though.

To suggest that these people are hypocritical, you suggest that abortion is the ending of the life of a perfectly healthy human being. Which it's not.

So, where's the hypocrisy?

Don't really care, maybe it's in your own head! Whatever.

Depends...
Who sets what is right, or what your moral compass should act like? Everybody has different ideologies and whatnot. Hypocrisy is something humans will always do, be it for small reasons or not (often it comes down to asserting dominance or something of teh sort)

I dunno

stupid sinus drugs.
Anyhoo, better do more reading on swing arms, for my motorbuysickle

Advice offered on the basis of hard learn't lessons is not hypocrisy if the person offering said advice is no longer doing the same themselves,but a lot of people "young people" will cry hypocrisy in their efforts to defend their right to fuck up for themselves.

People eat meat that has come from animal concentration camps called farms an then whinge about a few puppys getting used for something other than "their" interest,,,like all the other shit they use that has been tested on "other puppys" .

Yeah people are odd fuckers all right !

Why the fuck would you want to do anything about it ?

The fact everybody accepts it in one way or another gives you a shit load of lea way,,,,in some area's.

How many of those protesters support abortion on demand?

This thread is not about either of those subjects but about the hypocrisy of human behaviour.

I.E. On the one hand, outraged about discriminate animal suffering but quite happy to indiscriminately kill perfectly healthy human beings!

I have no preconceived opinions on either subject but do wonder about the consistency of human behaviour at these times.

Just wondering?

For it to be *hypocrisy*, they'd have to be exactly the same thing. Which they are not. Not even close. Argument FAIL.

In a balanced society - 50% of people are below average.

In human nature - your talking about an unbalanced society.

Why do you think we had to invent Christianity? You really think we would have made is this far without inventing religions?

Road kill got it closer to what I was trying to portray, I was not trying to argue the merits of the subjects I used in the OP.

Most people today only see the meat on the supermarket shelves but they never see the killing sheds where it comes from etc.

When it's all boiled down to basics the real world is a very cruel and violent place!

We hide it as much as we can and people grow up and may never ever experience life as it really is and have very distorted impressions of the facts of life.

So are they going on these protest rallies for real informed and consistent reasons?

Just asking the question rather than saying how it should be!

Nature is quite cruel itself actually.

Ever seen a wildlife program where a lion start ripping an antelope apart while it's still alive?

It doesn't give us the excuse to inflict pain and suffering on animals simply so that people can get out of it.

By the way, yes Katman has a new crusade.
