As just one example among many, such people complain and yell the loudest when they feel that they've been "wronged". But wait, don't they believe that there is no moral difference between right and wrong, good and bad? Don't they teach their children to do the "right" thing? And while we're at it, what standard do they use to tell right from wrong, good from bad? Their own standard? Who do they think they're kidding?
In short, they are contradictions and hypocrisy on the hoof (but try telling them that). Hehe
