Do you admit you're prejudice..?

Question

...when you label people from an entire religion as 'idiots, morons' or some other expletive?

Do you enjoy it when someone does it to you?

I know fully well that I can't change how you think. Then why do you try and act so intelligently when you are bitter and shallow inside? Is there a purpose to your bashing or have you nothing better to do?

Good point Tara. And perhaps there is a bit of hostility mixed in.

Answer 1

I don't do that. I really appreciate multiculturalism and a variety of different religions, cutures, and government styles. One size does not fit all in this world.

However, there is a GENERALLY ACCEPTED form of moral conduct which is crosscultural. Evil is evil, and I don't like it.

Answer 2

Gosh Molly your script seems a little angry. I hope this medium isn't doing that to you, it's supposed to be fun. I do not admit to being prejudice, I do not feel above or below any other being except God. We're all in this world together, my brothers and sisters can be what ever the heck they want and we're all red on the inside so what's the difference? I live in a multi cultural place and I've known people from all over the world. What amazes me is how much we are all alike. Differences sure, but so much in common. I will say that I'm older so perhaps that has something to do with how I feel but perhaps consider this. How many people from some other religion or cultural background have jerked you around compared to the group that you identify with. I'd say there is a good chance the scales are leaning on what you may consider your very own. They're all our very own, good folk from all over. The ones that distress just haven't caught up yet; they will though. Take care and I really hope something nice happens for you, today by golly!

Answer 3

When you label a group of people, then yeah you are prejudice.
Prejudice is to pre judge someone. It's an adverse judgment or opinion formed beforehand or without knowledge or examination of the facts. In other words judge someone based on appearances, conduct, or race. Everyone have at one point looked at someone and made an assumption about them.

No, I don't like it when people do it to me. That's why I keep my thoughts about other people to myself.

Prejudice does not make you bitter and shallow, I think it's human nature to pre judge. It don't make you less intelligent. Even children do it. They might step into a classroom on the first day and see a big, scary looking teacher and think she's mean before she opens her mouth and she turns out real nice. That was pre judging but is the child bitter and shallow. No! Not everyone purposely does it and its not always meant to bash people. If prejudice is to pre judge can't you pre judge someone in a positive way and ain' t that still prejudice? Is that bashing?

Answer 4

wow i sense a Little hostility. But back to your question everyone is prejudice at some point when you walk in a room and automatically judge someone on how they look. When you wont give people a chance because their different. Or the common hatred of people because of their race.Its a disgusting thing but we have all done it I have you have everyone to stop we must reprogram our brains because that person your looking down on could be anybody you don't know who they are my best friend dresses like a poor black girl so she gets treated like that when in reality she has more money than you and I put together she just doesn't feel the need to impress others unfortunately she receives more hateful remarks. Will it ever stop? Not in the world that were living in.

Answer 5

Prejudice... the act of pre-judging people for one reason or another, isn't necessarily a bad thing. If it is solely based on race, color, creed, religion, or sexual orientation, it is wrong.

The key word is solely.

We can safely assume it is ok to "pre-judge" people who commit murder, rape, incest, or child molestation. These are actions. Society MUST be prejudice against things of this nature. It must not only be illegal, but THOUGHT POORLY OF. We MUST assume these people are BAD people. We MUST keep our family and friends away from these people. We MUST keep society safe from these people. It is prejudice... considering some of them may change their lives and become decent law abiding citizens, however, society cannot afford to give them the benefit of the doubt.

People I consider morons are those who insist that their way is the only way and no other options should be considered... BY ANYBODY. Those I think of as idiots are those who know better but choose to be moronic because of their own prejudices.

If you or the people like you do either of those things, then you fit the bill. I didn't make that choice, you did.

It's really simple... if you don't want to be considered a moron, don't act like a moron.

If you want people to take you seriously and consider your intellect, show some.

Answer 6

I do admit that I have had prejudice thoughts in the past and sometimes now, but I have to realize if I let that show I will be labled myself as ignorant and stupid and I need to learn how to cleanse those thoughts because its so stupid and its a waste of emotions!Even if you feel hatred on the inside you will have to let your intellegence smother that out with the positive and realize there are other things in life and you have to realize if you keep spending your time worrying about one person and what they are doing, they will be getting ahead of you and making themselves a good life while you are still in the back row hating! So its better to worry about ones ownself, and thats what I am in the midst of learning!

Answer 7

There are reasons for everything , sometimes we don't see them but they are.
Prejudging ppl is bad only for Christians since its written in thier bible and has nothing to do with others.
I like to mock religion so ppl get angry and start looking for answers. At least they get educated. I know most will respond back but they go and search for explanation. ANy act can't be bad or good. Reasons can.
Even bible teaches you that killing, murdering, genocide, raping are not bad if for the right reason.
So its not the act that is bad, it's the reason. And since nobody can look trough my heart they would now know the real reason. So what ever i do i perfect in all directions:)
When ppl atacking me on spellings or understandings of soemthing i usualy try to fix it or look for answers to rebuit.
Peace. Therefore GOD chooses only me.

Answer 8

I'll admit I can be prejudice at times. I do try to keep an open mind however and change my perceptions of people as new information comes out. Sadly it often doesn't.

Answer 9

Yes, if I were to label all people of an entire religion as "idiots" or "morons" then I'd be so narrow minded that I'd ironically be demonstrating my own being an idiot or moron.

Answer 10

Everybody has prejudices (even if we don't act on them), anyone who says they don't is a liar. It is just a shame when people do act on them in such unkind manners. I asked a similar question a while ago, and most people agreed that the motivation for such behavior is fear. Glad to see you're braver than them all.

best wishes!
