OT have you ever judged some one based on material objects?

well OT i ask you, have you ever judged some one based on material objects?

what i mean if you need clarification is picking or making fun of someone because there shirt and jeans were from wallmart (for example)

have you done it OT?

have you been the one made fun of?

Hey I shop at walmart are you trying to insult me?ferrari2001

trust me my friend i am the last person to insult, i try too keep on peoples good side :)

Actually I think I've done the opposite. :? "Hey, that person has a really fancy cell phone... an expensive watch... wow, all AE clothes... They much be spoiled!" Never the other way around.Aquat1cF1sh

yea i have done the same, but to be honest some times your right, some time your wrong, you know?

I don't understand why shopping at walmart is frowned upon, i shop at walmart for tshirts and yeah i judge, people who wear 30 dollar abecrombie or hollister shirts are tools. but that's just my opinion, other than that i don't judge by material things that a person has

i agree i get all my socks,white shirt boxers at wallmart

i was just giving an example that everyone has heard

From time to time...

• I see a guy wearing a T-shirt that says "Born to ****" in a nice restaurant. I judge him to be someone who doesn't particularly care what others think about him.
• I see someone wearing a shirt with a pot leaf. I judge them to be someone who smokes.
• I see someone wearing a "Tapout" shirt. I judge them to like MMA.
• I see a dude wearing black and an apron. I judge him to be the bartender.
• I see a guy jogging through the park while wearing hiking boots. I judge him to be someone who needs better fitness gear.
• I see a guy carrying an AK-47 around Mosul. I judge him to be someone I should watch closely.

I've made first judgments on people based on what they're wearing, using, what brands they own etc. But I would never make fun or insult them for it. How dare me, if I should even think of doing so based on what a person can or can't afford.

I buy clothes that are affordable and comfortable. Nothing wrong with Wal Mart. I have never made fun of anyone because of clothes, and I dont know if anyone made fun of mine. Frankly I dont care if they have or not. If some one makes funny of you based on clothing then that tells me all I need to know about that person.

It tells you they're someone who makes fun of people based on clothing.

I remember I was on a trip with my Boy Scout troop in the Bahamas and we're sitting next to this family and their kids come up saying their rather bored. The parents proceed to tell them to grab eighty **** thousand dollars out of the safe in their yacht. And here I am, a poor Boy Scout giving that family a very pissed/jealous look.

The parents ended up being nice, but two of the three kids were brats, though.

I usually don't care for what clothing somebody wears, though I'd probably make prior judgements about somebody based on their possessions.super_mario_128

possessions can be material objects as well, like a car or even something like an ipod

Judging someone for having a lot of expensive material things is just as bad as judging them for not having a lot of material things. You still dont really know the person it's the same concept. People do this all the time...they'll stick up for the person wearing walmart shwag and preach how wrong it is to judge him because of it and then 10 minutes later they'll see a person in all hollister and think to themselves what a preppy spoiled d bag :roll:...works both ways people.

In my life, I've bumped into way more people who judge people for having nice stuff, rather than the other way around. It's like people who spend little money on wearables (either by choice or necessity) think they have cause to be dicks to anyone who likes nice stuff, with the blanket excuse that anyone who spends money on anything must be cocky.

In college, a woman came to my house for a party, and within two seconds of meeting me told me I was arrogant. I pointed out that she'd just met me, and I asked why she thought I was arrogant. She said it was because of how I was dressed. (I had on khakis and a button-up shirt, or something like that.) That's terrific; I'm "arrogant" because of how I decided to dress in my house.

ahh i see

did not notice that , sorry about that

only when the person thinks that material objects make them better. Then I judge them. Harshly.

If you want a 90k dollar car, then by all means go out and buy one. Have fun, I really do not care. But when you start to think youre better because of it, well, then I got problems with you.

I know what you meant, and I was being a smartass there. I'll be more sincere and articulate my point: You need more information on a situation than simply that one person made fun of another person for what they were wearing. People will deliberately wear certain types of clothing in an attempt to get a rise out of others, to intimidate, offend, or upset other people. When someone goes out of the way to draw attention to his or herself, it should come as no surprise if some of that attention is negative.

I agree. One of my friends is like that and for the most part he doesnt flaunt it but sometimes he does. He goes on for awhile and then I give him that look that I will punch if he doesnt stop. Then he stops :P

lol sounds like your friend keeps in check all right. We are only human, after all, and there are far worse flaws than a bit of material vanity.

Yes. Who the hell shops at walmart? Their clothes probably only last about a week and start to look like a rag.

This is true. Im more referring to someone making fun of a person for wearing Wal Mart jeans instead of American Eagle jeans though. It just shows the materialism of the person making the insults.

I judge based on physical appearance. If they have piercings and tattoos and baggy pants i will think lower of them than people who are dressed more normally.

The type of clothing yes, not so much the price of it. You can usually tell one's personality by the type of clothes they wear, but it's more of a silent note-to-self I keep in the back of my mind rather than something I use as a basis for interaction.
