    Hypocrisy (n): The practice of professing beliefs, feelings, or virtues that one does not hold or possess; falseness. http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/hypocrisy[^] Example: "Anyone who doesn't agree with me is a mindless slave who can't think for themselves!" Now who do we know that says things like this? Just food for thought...

      Does it count if I think this all the time but don't actually say it to others? :)

        Wait, is it hypocrisy or hubris we have to deal with here? "Arguing with me is like arguing with god."

              So he's a hypocrite who's been brainwashed by other hypocrites... Pillowpants is a second-generation liar.

                        Anyway, though... THAT's not hypocritical. It's hypocritical to criticize them for being mindlessly obedient, just because they're obeying someone other than you.

                          Actually, as much as I scorned CSS when he first came into the forum, I have to say that his view are consistent and not entirely lacking in veracity. He is a lot more coherent since he stoped taking drigs, thats for sure. And, by the way, your example isnt valid. A better examoke is the catholic church.

                            Do we really have to go through all the threads where he has said one thing and 20 posts later is been defending the thing he attacked because he said it differently? He wants a free market but heaven forbid you try to sell people crap AND wants gold to be the standard, which is regulating the currency/market... He wants thinks we should all have arms to defend against tyrrany but if we were invaded would not try to fight back. The only consistent thing about him is his inability to turn the lens inward and see that he is a grade a douchenozzle.

                            If I have accidentally said something witty, smart, or correct, it is purely by mistake and I apologize for it.

                              I've never understood why people praise consistency. Consistency in the face of evidence is merely stubborn stupidity.

                                I wouldn't call that regulation. That would actually lead to LESS regulation. I think it's the only one of his many ridiculous points that comes close to having merit (Fixed currency does have some advantages - Gold-backed is silly). Rest of your post... 100% :thumbsup:

                                  Consistency is not holding to your opinions, regardless of outside influence. As you said, that's just being stubborn. Consistency = Making sure your own opinions don't contradict each other. He wants the government not to touch business, but at the same time, he wants the government to ensure everyone plays fair (Prevent fraud)... I could go on and on, but you get the idea.

                                    It's close enough... It's not solid enough for a legal document, but it gets the point across... He thinks everyone is brainwashed and unable to think for themselves, but meanwhile he's completely brainwashed by Alex Jones and his ilk. See, YOUR opinions, I may not agree with, but you can actually debate and defend. josda, wherever he ran off to, does an excellent job of backing up his viewpoints... CSS can't even make an argument without contradicting himself.

                                        I think he lacks the intelligence to think through his feelings fully and thus come to a position where he can argue his point. (Since as you know most of us funtion off feeling as the prime motivator) He also like to take the verbally strongest stance he can, and uses language as wild as is needed to acchieve that, which often distracts his detractors. Its easier to argue with the language than the message after all.

                                        Morality is indistinguishable from social proscription

                                          Hmmm, I think you might be right... I was interpreting the definition as not practicing what you preach... But if he's really deluded enough to believe everything he's saying, then there's some other term that applies... Which I can't think of right now.
