    It's because of their own insecurity.  If you feel good about yourself, you'd most likely have an "I am OK, you're OK" attitude.  In other words, it feels good to the insecure person to bring you down to his level. 


    The best thing to do is be totally indifferent.  People can handle two things: to be liked and to be hated.  At least they know they're getting under your skin when you loathe them.  To be indifferent to someone means his existence doesn't matter.  Hence, if you don't like someone, be indifferent towards him.

    Thank you for your perspicuous response. You certainly have a knack for inference far beyond 91.2% of the population. I believe the questioner merely wanted to know why many people had preconceived notions about others before they fully understood the true facts. I doubt Kimba was referring to the extreme emotional swing deriving from a "flight or fight" encounter.

    You are right in the sense to presume the difficulty in which one could feel indifferent about what had just taken place, i.e. two gunmen in your living room. Nonetheless, I can assure you that I would do everything within my power to make certain justice is served. This “low” priority crime can, for instance, be urgently pushed up to the next level if you know the right button to push in the police department. The idea of being indifferent by “turning your right cheek for your enemy” does not pertain here. I understand too that in your mind this creates a paradox: maintaining indifference while seeking justice.

    Another question I just responded to was whether or not I had hit an animal. My answer was an unequivocal ‘yes.’ Another dog had my dog in its jaws for about 3 minutes. As my dog was near death, I used a shoe rack to hit it with all my might but it wouldn’t let go. I hit it again and again and still nothing happened. Finally I stuck a water hose in its nose before it succumbed. Another lady then asked, to the effect of, whether I would defend my dog in the same manner I would a human being. I told her that I would not be using a shoe rack to hit someone or an animal that’s trying to hurt my child. I would instead use a 3 iron golf club instead. When trying to protect lives, you may protect your loved ones while at the same time having an indifferent feeling towards the bad guy (just watch Soprano) or a mean dog.

    Finally, my sense is that the things that bad people do to you are the very same things they are most fearful of.

    Sometimes you judge others because you see them letting the side down, the side being the human race. Like when you see a very fat person eating a large cream cake or someone with a bad cough smoking. Of course judgement can work both ways you can judge someone to be better than you and create in you too much reverence. Judgement is a basic human attribute.

    Human conditioning. We're taught as children to compare ourselves to others to rate how we are growing in accordance to our peers. It' just something people never lose for the most part. We are a society based on judging. It's how social levels are set.

    As Chiangmai said, its our own insecruitys as its easy to point out others short commings than our own

    Because it doesn't cost anything. 

    Cuz you can. Just pull the log out of your own eye first.

    I don't understand "pull the log out" I've heard it before but the meaning didn't stick.
    kidder

    It meant to remove the obstacle from yourself first, then you can help remove it from someone else. Instead of a minor speck in your ability to see accurately, it is a large one.

    It's a biblical reference (beam not log) itsmee:

    Mat 7:3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
    Mat 7:4 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?
    Mat 7:5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.
    itsmee

    Hmmmm hmmmm. I see. @@ For some reason I didn't read the bible. I took after my dad and tried to memorize the dictionary. Now that I have been acquainted with the mote and the beam I understand that it was waaaaay beyond my wee head. Yes indeedy doo.
    I thank you for your attempts to edify me. (edify?) ha.

    some people think they better than others

    When enough people call you an idiot, perhaps it's time to look in the mirror and see if "you" see an idiot.

    ....establishing where we fit/differ with others

    How long does it take to figure that out? lol

    Barn cats have the answer, just can't get a grip of them though. ;)

    It's built into our societies. America has juries of our peers. Teachers judge our schoolwork. Beauty contests judge our appearance. Evaluations judge performance. Television shows have all kinds of elimination contest shows. 


    Don't we pass judgment when choosing a friend and spouse. 


     

    To feel better of themselves. Knock someone down and show ignorance and judgement. All the ingredients for poor self-esteem.....

    It's fun...

    To send them to prison.

    Judge not,lest you be judged,however being judged by our peers for doing illegal doings,is different to judging somebody with "The tall poppy syndrome"..>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<.. 

    Jesus has said to us that he will come back and when he dose it will be judgment day. Why did he judge, because they were all wicked. Why did God judge because they were wicked and not the truth. I was in a sermon once and they were speaking as Jesus and I could have sworn they said that it's fire. That he came back and it's fire. And truthfully, it sounded like he was scearming, these words and as if we wont know how bad it's going to be. After hearning this I turned to my friend and thought to myself, oh my god did you just hear that.

    I'd suggest going to a different church, but somehow I can't see this happening.
    Taj Emanuel

    Those were Christ's words, and it's fine. And It makes a lot of sense to me actually. The sermon was held at the Portland Rescue Mission in Oregon. It's a very fine establishment. And to tell you the truth, yes. It was fire. And so I cant register very well at all what you are saying now.
    ROMOS

    I suggest you read your bible again my friend, then you might understand.

    Concerning this question of yours http://www.akaqa.com/question/q19191307804-Are-you-people-for-real I'm guessing you can now answer "why do people judge other people" yourself now. :)
