I\'m not so sure that hypocrisy is so much \

to:

I\\\'m not so sure that hypocrisy is so much \\\"pretending\\\" to have beliefs or standards, so much as having beliefs, opinions, etc. that only apply to themselves/others. It\\\'s more or less \\\"what\\\'s good for you isn\\\'t good for me\\\". For instance, someone who hates people who lie...and who also [[ConsummateLiar tells lies constantly to others]]. They may truly believe that lying is wrong...unless [[DoubleStandard they tell one]], because they have a really, really good reason for doing it - [[IDidWhatIHadToDo they just had to]], [[ForYourOwnGood to protect whoever was lied to]], [[NoodleIncident that one time a rubber duck almost cost them their career]]...never mind that similar things could\\\'ve been the cause for \\\'\\\'other people\\\'\\\' to tell lies. I\\\'d almost say it\\\'s like a DoubleStandard[[hottip:*:note that \\\"DoubleStandard\\\" isn\\\'t simply \\\'sexism\\\']] as part of your personal ethics code.
