Okay, and I hesitate to engage an already patently ridiculous argument, but I've seen this attitude a lot, and it really bothers me. I think it's a stupid, stupid person that ignores (on principle or otherwise) the criticism other people offer them. Why is this attitude so prevalent? Is there any way to heal the generation of sensitive, honey-fed babies that perceive constructive criticism as nothing less than an elbow to the face? Are they really so deluded that in order to deflect any possible damage to their house-of-cards egos, they'll actually decide instead to denounce the very concept of critical thinking? I'd like to say that these people deserve themselves, and leave it at that, but the bottom like is they don't deserve the cushy realities they've constructed for themselves; and frankly, the burden they place on the rest of us is downright appalling.

I had a tough day at work, guys.

I think I'm going to go ahead and judge the writer of that post to be so monumentally stupid as to rival the intelligence of paint. How can a guy spend the time to write five paragraphs about how horrible it is to judge people, when any six year old (I went and asked a bunch, and they all agree) would realize that the whole piece is a supreme judgement in and of itself of people who judge?

I mean, this guy is bleeding holier-than-thou juice out of his nipples with that "Judging others is an act of monumental pride, enormous pride, stupendous, galling, astonishing, fantastic pride..." crap.

"What YOU don't see.. YOUR judgement leads to suffering..." You know, maybe he's so blatantly hypocritical on purpose. Surely he can't be that much of a jackass.

BY THE WAY, if you ever feel the urge to judge someone and feel justified in doing so, just read this.
