Do YOU make judgmental assumptions about people?

Question

Well, do you? :)

I'm sorry if seeing an 8 year old boy with no clothes on in a parking lot makes me seem a bit skeptical and concerned for the child seems "judgmental" :)

By the way, one of my contacts email me the question entitled "Do you make judgmental assumptions about people?".....I'm flattered that my stalker returns!

Answer 1

I'm not on anyone's side but I think everyone is entitled to their opinions and can post any question they want. I do not, however, think she should've retaliated against you by posting her question but then you go and retaliate against her by posting this question. Someone has got to be the bigger person. I think this feud between you two needs to stop. If you can't get along then just ignore each other and don't answer each other's questions. Pretend to each other that the other doesn't exist.

EDIT: And for the record...I do agree with you that it is quite odd. Not the diaper situation (because you never really know what the reason could be) but the fact that the mother let her child go into a store with ONLY a diaper on. Yes I would've been skeptical. I would've been thinking "Where the h**l are his clothes & shoes??" Whatever the reason is for the diaper--its not an excuse to let your child go into a store practically naked.

EDIT: And yes, I forgive you. You just focus on them two beautiful babies you got!!

Answer 2

anyone can read your question, it's on page 2...and see that it is very judgemental because you see someone in a lot for a few minutes and assume so much about them that you are ready to report them to the police not even knowing for sure the child's age or reason for anything you saw.

My question isn't all about you Texas, but glad you are so egotistical that you would be flattered. Your original question sparked my question. It just happens to be you who asked it. It wouldn't have matter who did, I still would have asked my question because I would feel the same no matter who asked it. To even consider reporting someone based on all assumptions is ridiculous. How would you like it of someone reported you when they saw you spank your child, maybe they thought you were too rough, maybe they assumed you are worse at home? How would that be? It's not just the things you assumed and judged the person for, you actually thought about reporting them, that is what gets me.

Answer 3

Yeah, I would say I am judgemental too then. If I saw a 8 year old naked in the parking lot I'd be on my cell phone calling the police and I'd give him a blanket out of Alyssa's diaper bag. You can bet I would be judging his parents.

Congrats on having a stalker. :)

Answer 4

I find myself being very judgemental a lot and then I pray a lot. In this case being judgemental and being concerned for the welfare of a child are separate issues.

Answer 5

OMG

BOTH OF YOU....   GET OVER YOUR ISSUE.  THIS IS NOT HIGH SCHOOL.  OTHERS ARE GETTING TIRED OF THE BS

Answer 6

Well I do! But not for reasons such as race, religion or s*x-but more like the economical status of people. I look at someone who is dressed as bum and obviously I think- "Why do they want to live like that" I think it's normal to judge

Answer 7

I think you were perfectly justified in your concern and yes I would be slightly quick to judge that kind of thing, but then again who wouldn't be to a degree?  But I do think you both need to stop fighting with each other.  You don't need to stoop to her level.

Yes I can see you stalker came here and answered your question.  I'm sorry that she's so rude.
