Judgment
Well, I was thinking about judging and prejudice and what not earlier. I think there's a fine line between not judging someone before you met them, and being stupid. I mean, after all, you have to make some judgement about a person. But you can't be too harsh, or characterize them by groups they belong to. And the Bible does say "Judge not." But what's meant by that? I think you have to think of each person as an individual, not as a part of the groups they belong to. Of course, you can and probably should take into consideration the person's background. But don't say they are automatically a bad person just because of it. Always give people the benefit of a doubt. It's a rather interesting vein of thought, really...

There's only one "e" in "judgment".
There, fixed it!
