I absolutely agree with you. I don't know how many times i hear girls/guys while standing in line making fun of someone's appearance within earshot. it's unbelievably rude and petty.

but i live in l.a.,where fat, not f*ck, is dirty word.

Not too long ago a girl in my health class who is disabled was being picked on. I have no idea why. But I think that whole "walk a mile in their shoes" saying applies to that incident. I mean, I critcize people from time to time, well probably more often than that. To be quite honest, I don't know why. Sometimes I'm jealous of something to do with them. In the disabled girls case I think it's a lack of understanding. They critcize her and almost make it out that it's her fault she's like that, I sincerely doubt she wants to be in the position she's in now. I generally critcize people and the things they do if I already know them and don't agree with what they are doing. I'm sure people have their reasons, I can't really pinpoint where my critcisms spawn from.

you can not criticise some one that you can not see things from their perspective.
or understanding were they are comming from. in other words, i can rarely criticise some people, because i can not see from their perspective,
(i can't get my head that far up my a$$)

Exactly my point, they do not deal with as many people who are like that (for the most part) therefore "more modern" people deal with it more. That was all I meant by my first statement. I'm sure its there, I wasnt saying it wasnt because its everywhere and I'd be shocked if it werent some place, but in comparison to a place like the United States its not used quite so much to belittle people. And I agree it is for our tolerance level here that we dont haul off and shoot people for the same things, but then again sometimes we do.

Gotta admit feels nice having an actual debate with someone on here haha.

Yes, although critism can be productive at times, it is also used to secure a person's insecurities. For humans, it is their way of relieving themselves of their own self-doubt, often being done in jealousy.
Yet, one must learn to accept critism, not deny it. It might be just the truth, after all.

its all desire's fault. we criticize cause we wanna be better than others, we wanna be in the center of attention. but dont forget about jealousy, anger, and hatred.
