Why do people get so judegmental about sexual orientation, race, political, or religious beliefs? Must we get so angry with each other?

Human beings are imperfect. Some humans need to feel "superior to" or "better than" others to feel good about themselves. They are afraid of those who are not like them so instead of accepting differences, they try to demonize them. Is it fair? Of course not. But it is typical of some human beings. The more afraid they are, the more judgmental and outspoken they are. Now, I'm not talking about criminals whose lifestyle no one likes. I am talking about everyday people who are decent, honest and simply want to live lives that makes sense to them. They don't hurt anyone. Just my opinion. Happy Monday to you ST! :)

The problem with people is its not enough there different from other peoples, they go to far and try to change other people into conforming to there priorities, first through negotiation, then by force; you see a lot of this at every angle; its evil even though its being done for good, it opens a doorway for bad intentions

none of us are born straight or gay, we are to come to terms with the rainbow of sexualities available to us, and the attractions we feel. No one is completely straight or compleyetly gay. To say you are is a lie, it only means you want to ignore your feelings, but everyone expirences some thoughts of homosexuality in their life.

The cradle of civilizaton was in africa, which means we are technically all descendants of africans. To deny this and hate black people or asians or indians is rediculous because we are all litterally cut from the same cloth.

Religions have handed down and stolen ideas from each other since the dawn of the idea of a higher being to explain the intracasies of the world that we did nto understand. As the world became more and more understood, there were needed less and less Gods to explain each phenomenon, the fact that the ideas of Gods still exist is because we have yet to have descovered the truth of why we are here, and what happens when we die. Ad long as we have doubts and fears about our existance, a God will always exists convieniantly to sooth our minds.

Humans come from social structure which used to be weak and strong, the strong lead the pack the weak were picked off. Now we no longer need to pick off the weak because we are at the top of the food chain, we have safety from nature (mostly) we can rely on surviving a long life despit our strengths and weaknesses, so it becomes necessary to create a new way to make a social status chain because we need leaders, in high school it is popularity, usually linked to wealth or beauty, that drives social status. In the workplace, it is power, and intelligance. In friendships, it can be power or beauty intelligence or popularity, but in the whole world we see those who think differently then us as wrong, therefore weaker of mind. Truthfully there is no wrong or right for any of these and we are all on the same level. But we need a friend who is uglier to make us feel better, orif we are not leaders we need a prettier or smarter friend. We need social structure, and we create it for ourselves through biases.

There's a lot of people in this old world, and we will naturally have differing beliefs and outlooks. What makes my opinion or viewpoint any more correct that another? Nothing. I respect differences, but I have found that people tend to attack me simply because I believe differently than they do. I think many people feel, incorrectly, that any differing opinion is an affront to them.

For me, I try to listen to what the other fellow is saying. I state my opinion, but I don't try to force it down his throat. And, mark my words, no one will force their's upon me.

Frequently it is fear in one form or another.

Envy.

They too wish they could be as carefree as the person they deride.

Because people think that everyone must agree with everything that they do. It's the human way that cannot be changed. Such as:
Teams in sports
Music
Brands of beer
Religion
Political parties
Brands of cars or trucks
