Explain why you're a hypocrite and what (if anything) you're going to do about it. Alright, I'll go first.
I am often arguing for tougher environmental restrictions and better gas mileage requirements, but every day I drive 30 miles to work in a 4X4 Nissan Frontier that gets less than 20 miles to the gallon.
I really want to be a better environmentalist. The truck and the job are relatively new, so I probably won't get rid of either. My wife works here in town and drives a VW Golf. I guess I'd better learn to drive stick and start driving her car to work, letting her drive the gas hog 1 mile a day.

I love Maynard James Keenan lyrics in "Pushit" when he sings "Who am i to judge or strike you down."
yet i often find myself judging and belittling people who don't have the same viewpoint as I... but to be honest im working on it and maybe one day ill achieve it.... until then my heart says..."I'm me, it's true, I'm right."

Hypocricy is a natural part of the moral growth process. The values should ALWAYS be a step beyond the action, less stagnation occur.
Also, my milkshake brings all the boys to the yard.
I don't deny any of that. Now post your hypocrisy, punk!

I don't watch TV, I rarely watch movies, I consume books, and I obsess over living life to the fullest. I'm an atheist, and I strive for a purity of vision, experience, and contribution. But I spend 30 minutes a day on a message board, can't seem to kick the booze, have wasted entire days doing nothing and enjoying none of it, commit any number of small acts selfish or worse...and, of course, there's the whole milkshake thing.

I'm a total health food- straight edge my body is a temple nut, yet I chug Coke like it's goin extinct, I worship chocolate, and ever winter I get addicted to Afrin nasal spray. Doesn't even have to be Afrin. I'll carry that dollar store bottle around like it's gold. If I don't know where my spray is, i freak. I can not STAND having a stuffy nose, but once you use that stuff you're HOOKED.
I rip Bush and corporate America for their environmental policies and practices, but I drive 3 miles to work everyday in a Jeep Cherokee when I could easily ride a bike or walk.
I rip on one my friends because he does hard drugs all the time when I could easily be classified as a functional alcoholic.
I rant about how I can't stand stand shallow women, yet I've screwed over my share of girls for superficial reasons.

The other day I gave a five minute speech on how Wal-Mart exploits workers in China.
So, I got home and took my shoes off.....they were made in China.
I'm such a sorry piece of shit.
