Can anyone give me great examples of HYPOCRISY?

Hypocrisy comes from the ancient art of acting.  Actors would wear masks to become the character they were supposed to be portraying -they were called hypocrites.  Anyone (everyone) today wears a mask at one point or another ("...here comes Mary. Pretend you like her."  "Good morning officer, what seems to be the problem?")  The great examples of hypocrisy you seek are all around you - and the greatest are those who claim that they are not practitioners of the art.

According to Merriam Webster Online,\n\nA hypocrite is a person who puts on a false appearance of virtue or religion.\n\nI agree that you can say what is right and wrong, make mistakes, and not be a hypocrite if you admit your mistakes.  You must also try to correct your mistakes rather than make excuses.  Once you get to that point I think you become a hypocrite.\n\n"Hypocrite" has become a loaded word--the kind you just throw it at someone you don't like, just like "bigot".  I don't think I'd ever use it because of that.  When that happens I just use the whole definition.  It takes more words to say the same thing, but you will get the meaning you intend across rather than fanning some flames.

Why can't you see that all politicians are hypocrites?

When I discover people being hypocritical, instead of hating them, I try to logically trap them in their lies. It makes them look stupid, and discourages them from being that way in the future.

Hypocrisy isn't the right word. As long as they have permission to use those articles, it's okay, especially if they have other articles there that people would be interested in and would help people find what they are looking for. The sites that annoy me are those that just mirror Wikipedia content but with tons of ads all over the place. I always make sure to go straight to the source for those.

"They see the speck of dirt in other peoples' eyes yet they are blind to the dirt covering their whole faces."\n\nThat above-mentioned paraphrased quote from the Christian bible perfectly describes the hypocrisy most "Christians" conduct against non-Christians.\n\nSad but true.\n\nPeace.

I agree. I won't be a hypocrite about it, though, because I've been guilty at times, too. However, when someone posts something hateful, it's sometimes so hard to resist the urge to respond!

Hypocritical, is the first word that comes to my mind. How can they say theirs is the right way when each way is different , well, that's where changing the rules to suit ones ideas comes in .

I hope that you are stuck with arguing in a debate class the losing side of something that is morally indefensable.  Here are some historical sites

Bush should be teaching Hypocrisy 504. Hypo101 is for beginners.

Well, look at what the xtians have done to humanity over the centuries. Spanish Inquisition, selling of indulgences, subjugation, murder, hypocracy. REally, there is no greater blight on humankind than this farce, and the ones who propagate it on are guilty of racism and of being a bigot.

In diplomacy, one presents the truth in a less straight-forward way, so as to avoid offending the sensibilities of others. In hypocracy, one presents a falsehood as truth, in order to advance one's own agenda.

The question that you asked is actually the true definition of hypocrisy. The "second" definition implies the first one, it is only expressed in more plain English.

Hi,\nthe evidence you give is OK but there are billions of more examples. Here are some.\n1. Atticus' modesty: read the chapter about the dog shooting again and Jem's final words.\n\n2. Atticus' direct answers to direct questions 'what's rape?'\n\n3. His reasonable strictures: 'leave the Radleys alone'\n\n4. The way he makes Scout read to Miss Dubose and see an example of 'true bravery'\n\n5. 'turning the other cheek' when spat uopn by Ewell\n\nAll these can be reflected against the main event which is of course Tom's trial. \n\nAtticus is a father who gives his children an example in life: a way of life that shows it is wrong to persecute, be prejudiced, and that it is right to be modest, discreet and to stand up against oppression of the underdog, \n\nIn short he shows his children that it is a sin to kill a monckingbird, and no one can ask anymore than that surely as an example?\n\nDan
