I think it's crazy to flat-out hate someone because they drink or smoke. It's their lifestyle choice, and it's not anyone else's place to judge them on that. There are plenty of people - myself included - who drink or smoke and aren't "trash." Just because they're making decisions that you wouldn't doesn't make them bad people, it makes them different from you. And isn't diversity awesome? =)

i judged my one of my best friends who started drinking/smoking/and having sex.
after i learned that she had sex while on her period, in the back of her car..the one she drove me in during lunch hour everyday, i just said enough is enough.
thats effing disgusting.

I don't judge anyone who does any drug - unless they allow that drug to have adverse effects on them, on the people around them, or allow themselves to lose control and become addicted.

Addiction is a horrible disease; if a person is prone to it (and most are), I would judge them if they knowingly put themselves in a position to fall into that deep, dark pit. Some of my friends have; I judge them for it; I also try to help them out of it.

Other than that, I judge no one. All the societal norms surrounding judge use are just that - societal norms. They often have little basis (for example, the acceptability of marijuana vs. alcohol), and I see no reason to hew to them. I've done a number of different drugs in my life, never gotten addicted to any, and never let any of them to affect me negatively. Most I did once or twice.

So do I judge people? Yes, some people. But not just for doing drugs. Doing drugs is risky, but if you now how to handle the risk, I see no reason to judge you for making that personal decision. I also laugh at many people who I know would judge me, since I will be more successful than most of them, and I wonder whether that fact ever enters their minds while they pass judgment.

For the most part, I don't really care, because that's their own business. But I don't really see myself being friends with a pothead, or anyone else who does those kinds of things.

Obviously you judge them on it. What else would you judge someone by? You judge people based on their actions. I have had friends that smoked and I judged them for it but it does not mean that I could not be friends with them or like them.

I am atheist and I judge religous people but my best friend is religous and that does not bother me. It is not my choice I can try to change his mind but it his choice what he believes or does. It is bad decision to do drugs but no one makes all good decisions.

Call me conservative or w/e, but I do tend to judge people based on drinking/smoking/drug - maybe except for social drinking. I do not call them trash or anything, but I try to avoid those people.

^^^
you must avoid a lot of people then?

Senluck

^ Not really. Most of the people I meet do not fall into those category (most drink socially). I just mean that some people just show off that they drink a lot and smoke a lot. Seems like immatures

I don't exactly "jugde" kids who drink/do drugs/have sex.

I think they are choosing the wrong lifestyle. So I simply don't hangout with them.

Not really. It wasn't until a few months ago when I went to a party and some lady implied that I am probably drunk every Sat. night just for been a teenager that I realized that NONE of my friends drink/do drugs/sex.

To which I thought "wow."

ive partied with most of the top ten at my school (top 200 public) school and after sophomore year you realize everybody drinks and smokes and as long as they dont come to school on monday yelling about how trashed everybody was, i wont judge them. handle your business in school and release your inhibition any way you want to on the weekend, just dont talk about it after the moment

i'm surprised this many people (from the first and last page at least) don't drink/smoke or whatever. I only judge (in a negative light) those who are in super deep in some drugs or who are complete potheads/druggies. That doesn't mean I'll hate them or anything, just that I don't approve of what they're doing.

Potheads > Young Life-ers

I deem people who smoke weed to be definitively cooler than those who don't.

dmission

Absolutely.

nothing wrong with weed, or alchohol as long as it is not excessive. the same might even be said for harder drugs, but once you go there, "excessive" becomes a gray line.. (as in trying something once or twice is fine but regular use? no thanks)

sex isn't an issue unless you are just sleeping around like crazy, in which case it is impossible not to be judged..
