Is anyone that accuses someone else of "having too much time on their hands" being a hypocrite?

I mean, I've heard people tell others so many times that "you have too much time on your hands", while actually browsing this board and finding the specific post to comment on and then actually making the comment..is kind of hypocritical isn't it?

It always makes a person feel better about their own deficiency if they can ridicule the same flaw in others.

Everyone on this board is a hypocrite. We ALL do or say somethings at some time that is contradictory to what we may actually do on a daily basis.

i.e. someone chiding another person for spending $400 on a GeForce3 yet they spend $400 themselves on stereo equipment for their car.

spending $400 on stereo equipment is a bit easier to do than spending $400 on a video card, i would say. i mean, you get your head unit and some speakers you're already up to the limit. at least the stereo guy bought a whole system for that price, instead of just one component.

i think my roommate thinks he has too much time on his hands... and then he sacrifices school for extracurriculars... hes still a junior hes been here... 7 semesters.

When you start wondering about stuff like this you got too much time on your hands AND you're probably insecure.

And that's where the hypocrasy lies ;) Who's to say that the person that spent $400 on the GF3 can't have as much fun as the person that spent $400 on a stereo system? One component, two components...who cares? It's all about personal satisfaction.
