It's human nature to be judgementel wheather we mean to be or not. Do I eccept everyone for who they are. No, and if I said yes, id be lying to myself. I don't go around verbally expressing my thoughts, but they are there at times. At the same time though. It doesn't make me a bad person either.

I accept and respect everyone, unless they give me reason not to! I treat people that way that I want to be treated. If you going to be a ***** or a azz I can be one right back at ya!! Acceptance is the key to really getting along with everyone..Let people be themselves rather than somebody they are not!! Same goes with judging others. Why judge someone when you have never walked in their shoes before!

“Remember, people will judge you by your actions, not your intentions. You may have a heart of gold -- but so does a hard-boiled egg.”

I agree totaly,

I do agree with what you said, but when it comes down to men beating on women, rapist, drug addicts etc. Nothing person here, but no, i do not eccept everyone. I agree letting people be who they are, but when it come to the point of effecting my life or my familey, nope

Yes I agree with you on this 100%. You see too much of this out there in the crazy world today! I accept most people but will not accept those who are out there to harm others. Thank you for sharing that. :)

I understud what you were getting at

And I know you shouldn't judge a book by it's cover. But sometimes from where I stand. Some people you meet for the first time do not seem right


Had to add, and being on the net. You have to admit, there are some people that make you think.

Amen to that....

I understand where you all are coming from on your points here they are very good points you never know a person till you really get to know a person personaly i say but i mean i accept to give a person a chance but no woman beaters or rapists i hate but i knew people in past that took drugs but they clean now so reformed people on drugs or alcoholics they deserve a second chance i never my self took street drugs but loved my beer :)))))

Yes, people can chang and I have some friends that have. It's more along the lines of people not willing to chang. Going over and over and over the same situation expecting different results.

But getting back to what this post was about. You were just saying like music was. Let people be who they are and go from there.

I respect people for who they are. Might not like them, and choose to not be around them. But I will respect them for being a true person to themself. Those people who are posers? I have no use for them. Word!

you Wonder why i put this topic cause i see over and over in this World that there are Cold hearted people out there and that is so sad i mean you ever hear things like omg why are you hanging with that person? or you can do so much better why date that person? or they are not in are class of people you know they don't even work? or they are snobs cause they are so rich? or ewwwwwwww they are to fat i not going to walk with them ? stuff like that? or do you know that person drinks to much ? they are the the questions i was asking not let people who they are i saying in certain things if you read it to acepcept a fat person? stuff like that cause some won't some are crual to people and so on ......

very good point 100% true

Some adults act like they are still in high school!! I see this on a daily basis!! Some people thrive on drama and cutting people down just to make them feel better about themselves! I respect most everyone til you prove me different!! Fakes, phonys, 2 facers and gossipers and back stabbers! Are the ones I stay totally away from!! I believe in karma..Someday they will get theres!!

i aggree 100% some do thrive on drama its sad i made a thread here talking about my dad and how he helped people and accepted people and people say its a playground thats sad

There is nothig wrong with this thread, it is a good topic

Don't worry about those who have something bad to say about this post..This post is raising awareness and I think awareness is a good thing. Those who don't like this post must be guilty somewhat!! The truth hurts but at first it will piss you off..LMAO

Its great your dad set such a good example. I believe people are not stagnant or unchanging so I have never understood what the phrase 'as they are' meant, to be honest.

I think I am caring about everyone but there are many things people do and say that I cant ACCEPT (as in condone and support), yet I try to understand and empathize with why or how they made those choices and I wish and hope for better in their life

I am tolerant even with things I dont completely accept, and I start from the premise that noone is perfect so I care about everyone as well,,,,but I do expect and hope for the best for people so its hard to just accept whatever they do or say or want,,,,,

if that makes sense

I do. I don't believe in judging at all, especially from what
"others say" or first impressions. How one treats others is not
necessarily indicative of how they will treat you, and as for
first impressions...there can be many reasons why it might not
be as "impressive" as many may want or expect. No one is above
anyone else, and as everyone has flaws, no one has the right to
start pointing out other's. jmo


As for the OP...as long as you are a good person, that's what
you, and others that care, carry in their hearts and minds.
Something I heard several years ago...those that mind don't
matter, and those that matter don't mind.

It's also nice that you have the realization that your dad was
a good person and carry those memories with you. My sympathies
for you for his passing, my mom just passed last month. Hope
you feel better.

Hey there Cheer up your a sweatheart,
I Love people, I dont trust them but i do care about them, I think that if you look carefully you will always find something to like in everyone, I have friends who are troubled and friends who are not, friends who are poor and rich, none of them are any different, they all have hurts and tears, they all love and want to be loved. Some have come from places I cant even imagine and have done terrible things but inside there is still something to care about, Sometimes I hate what someone has done but I would never hate the person, often the people who strike out at you the most are full of the most pain and are the ones who really need you. Yes apparently people think I live in a fairy world, and yes I dont want to see the bad, but I think it is important to be a little like a child and always look for the shining star not the yuck.
Cheer up I love your posts, Dont ever change, you are a great guy. If everyone just took a little more care of each other their wouldn't be so much hurt.
Here In the outback you rely on your neighbors, not just for friendship but often for your life, nothing is ever taken for granted, if your neighbor is in trouble everyone helps if they need a hand then you lend them yours. I have been to Sydney which is a Huge smelly place, and honestly it is like you are not even a person, people will walk past without a smile or a chat, how can anyone survive in a place with no warmth . so sad. LOL and yes I have rambled, sorry. if you read this and wanted a short post, you should have skipped it, so dont winge
