In the Harold and Kumar sequel President Bush (played by an actor), says a person is a hypocrite if he enjoys getting handjobs but not enjoy giving them. Do you agree? Should a person enjoys getting something also enjoy giving that same thing?
No. Who are Harold and Kumar? They sound like a pair of idiots.
They’re characters in a pair of movies.
To answer the question, no. That has nothing to do with hypocrisy.
No, not at all. Someone doesn’t know what hypocrite means. Being a hypocrite is espousing a view contrary to your own actions. A person who says that handjobs are immoral and/or bad and gives or gets them anyway is a hypocrite.
A person who gets a handjob and doesn’t give one is just selfish.
Well, selfishness would imply that the other person wanted a handjob. Really, though, if it were a woman and a man you’re talking about, the man would only be a hypocrite if he received said handjob enthusiastically but then had moral qualms about servicing the woman sexually. Presuming, of course, that the two acts are equatable under his “morals” that deemed what she wanted was wrong to him.
Well, of course. I can’t imagine how the topic would be brought up, otherwise.
Is this a debate or a poll? If a debate, can you provide an argument beyond: it is stated by Harold and Kumar?
Wait a sec, guys. We read this all wrong. The OP wants to know of handjobs and hypocrispy!
Dude, if your handjobs are hypocrisp, you’re just getting lazy. Put some oomph into it!
Ummm…basically all straight men disagree. That’s the joke you see. The movie was a comedy, which means that it was, in theory, full of jokes. This was one of those jokes. Not meant to be taken seriously. Joke.
My auto-handjobs are always hypercrispy and supersweet. Not to mention just-in-time.
Also, it was George Bush saying it, and the point of the scene was that George Bush ain’t all that bright. It’s meant to be an obviously specious and stupid argument.
That sounds reasonable when stoned.
Just had a good laugh. I just finished reading this thread about hand jobs and then George Bush, went back to the list of threads and the very next one was “Leaders refuse to shake hands with Bush”.
I enjoy eating food. But I hate it when food eats me.
At the risk of turning this into an actual debate, (one that doesn’t require MJ to appreciate,) if a guy wants a blowjob but refuses to go down on a woman (or vice versa), does that make him/her a hypocrite?
Again, depends on why he refuses. If he refuses because he thinks oral sex is bad/immoral/disgusting or makes the participants bad people and yet he’s fine receiving it, then yeah, I could call that a hypocrite. If it’s because he thinks vulvas are gross and doesn’t want to touch them with his mouth, then no, it’s not hypocrisy, it’s just personal preference. I might break up with him because our sexual preferences are incompatible, but I wouldn’t feel hypocrisy a valid charge.
Even then I don’t think he’s a hypocrite: if an alcoholic thinks drinking is bad, disgusting, sign of being weak-willed, etc., but continues to drink because they can’t make themselves stop, they aren’t hypocrites. They become hypocrites when they hide or excuse their drinking while condemning others for the same behavior. As long as they are admitting they are failing to live up to their own principles, I think they are free of the charge of hypocrisy.
If a man reproached others for accepting oral sex and claimed he would not, but then does so, then he is a hypocrite.
Granted this is a joke in a comedy movie. That said, does any one remember more details about the context of the quote?
Bush is smoking weed. One of the guys asks him that, since his administration has imprisoned so many people for doing the same thing, doesn’t that make him a hypocrite? He responds with the handjob analogy.
