It's only a bit hypocritical. There are actual degrees of hypocrisy!

I don't get this. Did you mean there are 50% hypocrites and 90% hypocrites? And the 50% hypocrites can always laugh it out at the 90% hypocrites, because he/she may think he/she has a moral high ground due to less hypocrisy. Heck, that's mouthful.

I don't get this. Are you saying someone who is a hypocrite 1% of the time is equal to someone who is a hypocrite 99% of the time?

Yes, they are both hypocrites :)

(Seriously though, degree and frequency are different things)

Maybe, but you and cygwin98 are seemingly the only ones confused/pedantic enough to care.

Hey now, there are different degrees of caring. I care 10% and cygwin98 cares 90%.

It's a matter of degree. The difference between a thief who steals bread, a thief who steals cars and a thief who steals %10 of GDP through political and financial trickery.

Kind of a bell curve, then? :/
