I admit only one fault. I am not hypocritical in calling everyone else hypocritical, thus making me super-awesome. Is that hypocritical? I need a hypocrite; for, as we all know, it takes one to know one.

As I continue looking at answers, I began to look at the word hypocritical. Now from what I remember, hypo- means a slowing down of something. Hypo-thermia deals with a lower temperature, hypo-thyroidism deals with slow thyroid gland and a slowing of the metabolism.

Critical is defined at dictionary.com as meaning "inclined to find fault or to judge with severity, often too readily."

So wouldn't hypocritical mean that the person would be slow to be find fault or judge with severity. So if one were to look at my question with this "new definition" in mind, wouldn't that make my question "hypocritical" in the current sense of the word.

Or did I just blow your mind. Cause I think I just thought myself to a whole new level. Hyp to be squa' in the nuts (for you South Park fans, like myself).

Sometimes a person makes an observation about others. I think calling someone else a hypocrite is being a critic, not a hypocrite.

“I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”
Maya Angelou (American Poet, b.1928)


"Watch your thoughts, for they become words.
Watch your words, for they become actions.
Watch your actions, for they become habits.
Watch your habits, for they become character.
Watch your character, for it becomes your destiny.”

I dont agree.

As I understand, hypocrite means being this in front of somebody and being another once you turn your back. There are many other things that you can do to be a hypocrite but I dont think that there is such thing as "most hypocritical".

kosovo desires to be a democratic state and usa might actually help any u . s . a . that desires to try this. usa might particularly have each and every of the rustic of Serbia grow to be democratic yet they do no longer want to. how are you able to hold lower back a team of those that want democracy? usa is united and for secession of usa into many states isn't an selection because of the fact the various products can no longer guard the entire u . s . a .. God bless usa and can it consistently stay that way.

Depends on the situation I think if we think we are allowed to call others hypocrites we must also allow others to call us hypocrites

Like all other people, I too am hypocritical. To be human is to be hypocritical.

Depends. Do you admit/recognize your own faults?
