why are people so judgemental about things they dont know about?

Because people are afraid of what they don't understand . . . of the unknown . . . of change . . . of differences. It's like a defensive mechanism or something. People get defensive over something that they perceive as threatening to what society and religion has deemed normal.

people are rude & cruel and seem to have the mentality of the Gladiators....it is also a way for ignorant people to take the notice off their own ignorance and direct it to others hwo do know what they  are talking about.\n Ever notice how a person who is clueless seems to always call you a fool,just becasue they don't know about something ??

I'm sorry people judge you, \nI know I judge people sometimes and I'm struggling with judging people myself so I know how hard it is to jump to conclusions about people, but I think we judge quickly cuz we're born in a sinful world and we want to prove to ourselves how 'good' we are by looking down on others.

Man you are coming with some good questions!! People that keep their minds in little small boxes are scared to see the big truth. They are comfortable in their little box, full of narrow mindness and ignoarance. You are absolutely right my freind, when you tell people something that goes against what they have learned or even better, things that they don't know, they get so offended and take it personal!! How can people love to be in denial!??! Doesn't it remind you of the narrowed minded people that were told that the Earth was round and the public killed them!?!?

People tend to say they hate things that they dont know anything about because they are scared.  They fear it because it is different from how they are and they dont know it, so its scarey to them.

I don't think it is right to judge other ppl least I want to be judged. We can make general observations but we do not know what has happened in a persons life to make them the way they are. WE have not walked in their shoes.

because not many people would agree that they are ignorant or that not many people know what they do not know.

because some people are afraid to pay attention to a few little details and to get to know people who are a little different than themselves...

Some people can't see past ignorance.

There are innumerous people in this site that pass judgement, why they come no one really knows. So while it may seem a little silly sometimes you need to put in a disclaimer i.e. note that you're not asking to challenge but for information or to have an intellectual discussion hopefully that should minimise the backlash, but then again everyone likes to have a bitch.\n\nLuck!

I hate it when people are ignorant, and small minded. They have no appreciation for art or intelligence and the finer things in life. They complain that life is boring, but they haven't seen the world yet. They have no ambition and are bumbling along when they could be doing so much more.

It's basically a result of ignorance and fear.  People hear stereotypes and believe them and don't take the time to seek out the truth about them.

Because the only way they know to feel better about themselves is to point out the weaknesses and faults of anyone and everyone else.\n\nAnd it seems that a lot of people think everyone else's life is their business to poke their noses into.\n\nAnd because those people fail to see the good in anything or anyone.
