From the day we are old enough to recognize patterns is the day we begin to be prejudice.  Through no fault of our own we consciously and unconsciously keep track of what to expect next based on our previous experiences...\n\nYou can't blame a person for being exposed to an environment or patterns that would cause them to be prejudice.  You can only hope to set an example strong enough to help sway their prejudice into enlightenment.\n\nPrejudice is natural, and happens 1000's of times per day.   The only time that the "Thought Police" have a problem with it, is when the prejudice hurts someones feelings... Thats when they throw up words like "ignorant" or "racist".\n\n- but thats just a way of trying to control you, instead of enlighten you.  The only true ignorance is to ignore your own instinct, logic, and experiences because someone else tells you to.

People who think they are better than others, havenot learned of GOD's love. Since I beleive we all came from GOD, how can one be better than another? I feel with age, and much lessons in life, one learns not to be judgemental with any one. We are all here for the same reason, but some think they are better because they arenot really sure of themselves and to compensate that their ignorance, they make others feel bad to try to make themselves feel better.

apprearence is the first form of contact a person has to another person or place so that is where your first opinion comes from...sight. \n\nhowever most people despite there initial judgement are willing to take some amount of time to finding out more... it is how you then prove yourself further that will either keep the initial judgement the same or change...\n\nExample: A good looking blone chick could be walking by on the beach and a guy could fall head over heals with her... until she opens her mouth and is a total air head.... that could totally turn him off...and thats just one example.\n\nAnd of course sometimes people arnt even judging you, you could be judging yourself and not approve therefore you think everyone else is judging you...

The answer is yes, "people" do pre-judge based on where you live. That is, people in general do.  That doesn't mean it's right.  In my opinion ANYONE who "pre judges" ANYTHING based on something like that is wrong.  We're not suppose to judge, but just accept people for who they are, based on their character. We're all really the same!!!

Very true! People are too quick to judge others, based upon the actions of a few! Well said.

I guess by looks is the fastest way to judge someone but that isnt very useful.. While looks can sometimes tell you what a person does for a living they are almost always wrong about who that person is.  If you really want to get an accurate impression, say hello and see what you learn.

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.

I used to judge people as well for different things, clothes and looks and the way they talk and all but i now know that it is not my place to judge anyone. \nI dont want anyone to judge me just because I am different. We all life different lives with our own likes and dislikes and faults and no one is just like ourselves. So no one should judge nor be judged by others. We all do what we do!!!  WHO ARE WE TO POINT OUR FINGERS AND JUDGE OTHERS

I believe we, as humans, judge without knowing all the facts.  It may appear one way to us, but if we knew all the facts, we may see it another way.  I've had people judge me in a certain situation, but they didn't know what I had been through and they only saw the choice I made, not that I didn't have a choice.

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.

It is sterotyping of a person or persons when you know nothing about them except the color of their skin or what country they came from. Everybody is different, some are good and some are bad, you cannot make a judgement about anybody before you know them based on those attributes.

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 ??

Many people are rude to cover up their own insecurity and lack of knowledge of the outside world. They feel that by being mean, they can balance the inequality to their side of the equation. Still, a wise person knows that there is no merit in arguing with a fool. A stupid person doesn't know when they have been beaten and are embarrasing themselves. The pursuit of knowledge and understanding is an ongoing process, and seeing things and exploring the world are fundamental to extending your grasp of knowledge.

because u can ask or answer with out being judge... \n\nu can also ask to ur family/friends but sometimes u want to know more opinions... \n\nthere are things that u can't ask just in the open bc u can hurt someone or bc u want to be prepared for something...\n\nyou don't have to wait for a correct moment or bother anybody with your stuff...\n\nu get answers right away with several points of view...\n\nu can't get upset if you don't like the answer...\n\nu can post smart and stupid questions just to know what other people think...
