4. depends on the day, the topic, how tired I am, who it is
if they are trying to steal my boyfriend, if it's something I could never do anyway so I can get away with judgement on ("I would NEVER have sex without wearing a condom") or whatever...

all over the scale. It can vary greatly with hormones, too.

14. holy shite
That kind of thing tends to scare the boyfriend away, too, though. Kind of self-defeating.

They have done more to instill self-righteous-indignation in me than anyone else in history has ever done...(They have that same history to draw on that I do...they KNOW BETTER!!!)

30. Thanks. I was going to work in an "I prefer the term self lefteous,"
but I went with omniscient instead. Now I've said both. My brain can relax.

26. I'm mostly self-righteous to myself...
...and to my close friends and family. (You know, the type who sneers inwardly at how people are about something or other, but wouldn't say it to their face; I'm not stuck-up, though, more just opinionated and, uh, self-righteous!) I have strong feelings about the way I think things should be, but I obviously don't think people should be forced to be like me. I also am not the type to push my feelings about things on people I don't know well. So, I'd say I'm not particularly self-righteous, but I'd definitely be more that way if I were a pushier and more extroverted person.

33. Depends on who you ask.
I was once told to get off my high horse for chiding a person who preferred to just call people names than present a legitimate argument. Apparently wanting maturity from adults on a message board is pretty self-righteous.

35. It was absolutely hilarious.
And kind of sad when I thought about the demographics of this site and realized the person was probably twice my age, haha.

36. hubby has a take on that...
says, yeah, we're supposed to honor & respect the elderly, but points out that young shit-heads get old too and no one is under any obligation to per se honor them now just cause they have white, or grey hair witness dick cheney

kind'a sad (?)...not rilly :spray:

37. 1
The only thing that gets me into a lather most times is hypocrisy(idealogical and political,mostly), but I've learned from my own experience that we're all flawed human beings, and being self-rightous about my and others choices is pretty much worthless in the abtract of life itself.
