Do you judge people on account of where they stand on the political spectrum?

Answer 1

Yes. If people follow blindly after a political theory, based only on ignorance and emotion, I judge them harshly. If however they have well thought out arguments for their positions, then they are okay. So perhaps it is not just where they stand, but why they stand.

Answer 2

I don't stand on the spectrum, I try to kick it back to where it came from. Politics is a foodfight at a prep school: Rolls Royce Radicals, Limousine Liberals, Cadillac Conservatives, Ferrari Fascists. These are all low-IQ, bossy, unrealistic, inconsistent, and hypocritical ideologies invented by the spawn of the rich, propagated by no-talent class-climbers, and followed by people who have no minds of their own. So I judge anyone who repeats ideas from a designated authority to be a programmed robot. Too much of my feedback is, "I never heard that before, so it must not be worth considering."

Aristocrats have no right to exist. Outlaw anyone getting an unearned economic advantage from his parents and you will get rid of this entire spinning spectrum. The very fact that the aristocratic origin of all this stupid politics is never mentioned in any medium shows how unearned wealth controls all the thoughts we are allowed to think.

Answer 3

No, I judge people on their actions and the content of their character. In the on line world it is easy pass broad based judgments against people based solely on a few lines of text, but real world interaction is never that simple. I am an Independent, although definitely a conservative one. I know many people who span all sides of the political debate. Most of them are thoughtful intelligent people and though we disagree on issues, it in no way dampens our ability to socialize. We respect each other's right to disagree and hold our own opinions. Any person motivated solely by a political ideology in their interactions with others has a sad life and is missing the greatest part of the human experience. What is that greatest part? It's simply called diversity.

Answer 4

No. My parents are solid Republicans as is my wife and parts of her family. I live in a largely Democratic state. I don't label myself of either party. I follow the middle ground so if a label had to be posted call me a Moderate. I would hope that people wouldn't judge me based on my political views, but judging others is human nature.

Answer 5

Only if they put no thought into their position. But then I'm not necessarily judging them by where they stand but the fact that they don't know how they got there. I'd rather talk to a socialist that knows why they are a socialist than a fellow conservative that is a propaganda fountain (and vice versa).

Answer 6

You don't judge people at all, you only judge their thinking or their mindset on the issues. Some of the nicest people I know get all their political knowledge from Bill Maher.

Answer 7

I only judge their judgment, not the person, based on their politics. You never know a person until you've walked a mile in their Ferragamos

Answer 8

I judge anyone who thinks the Iraq war, in hindsight, was a good idea. Those people are willfully ignorant and they drive me nuts.

Answer 9

It is one of the many ways I judge people. There, i said it.

Answer 10

Absolutely, I don't wanna find myself on a no way conversation with a religious wacko telling me we should lock down all women because they are baby killers.
