We should not judge others.
If you're bisexual, you're confused. If you're gay, it's a sin. If you're skinny, you're on drugs. If you're fat, you look nasty. If you're dressed up, you're conceited. If you dress for comfort, you're a slob. If you speak you're mind, you're weird. If you don't say anything, you're a punk. If you're sweet to strangers, you're fake. If you cry, you're a drama queen. If you have male friends, you're a *****[rhymes with boar]. If you have female friends, you're a player. YOU can't do anything without being criticized. We live in a society where people can't survive if they're not judging the next person. If we all think of benefiting each other this world will be a better place.

I agree. Society has a role. That is too help the ones who are unable to help themselves.
Society does not progress through force an coercion.

Agree. Anymore people chomp at the bit to pass judgement, and get their
"digs" in! I mean, we're ALL guilty of it. We see it on here all of the time.

Everyone judges others according to how they perceive themselves, in which judgment they are the sole arbiter; whereas society judges people in the court of popular appeal. In either case, their judgment is final however wrong-headed. People will put up with anyone so long as they perceive themselves as superior. Society will put up with anyone so long as they stay in their place.

I find it interesting that the "don't judge" crowd is essentially judging others for making judgements.

It sounds good and all but I'll stay in the real world everybody judges and anyone who thinks they don't are just kidding themselves.

As someone with a J type personality, I judge everyone and am slightly more often than not, rewarded for such judgements. The key word to remember here is SLIGHTLY. I do not tell others about my judgements though, and I do not make unwarranted assumptions.

For the last time, all white people do not know how to play raquetball. Asians and women tend to be skilled drivers. A deep and heartfelt love for fried chicken and watermelon is something 99.9999999% of all humans have.

Arragon:

What's here? the portrait of a blinking idiot,
Presenting me a schedule! I will read it.
How much unlike art thou to Portia!
How much unlike my hopes and my deservings!
"Who chooseth me shall have as much as he deserves"!
Did I deserve no more than a fool's head?
Is that my prize? Are my deserts no better?


Portia:

To offend and judge are distinct offices,
And of opposed natures.


The Merchant Of Venice Act 2, scene 9, 54–62

Yes, but some people are too simple to realize this.

Its only 'the other people' who are in the wrong.

Everything is either good or bad depending on who you ask; what one praises, another prosecutes. Socrates asked: "What is good and what is not good? Need we have anyone tell us these things?" But this was a rhetorical question, for the truth is that no one - not even Socrates - can tell us anything about it. A great pianist was once asked if he thought his concert performance was good. After reflecting for a moment, the maestro answered: "Only the critics would know"; and, with a wry smile, he added - "they said last night I played brilliantly."
