Determining whether or not someone is a lousy person isn't easy. Most people have the capacity for good and bad behavior.
When we're judging others, Dr. Maury Joseph, a psychologist in Washington, D.C., says we must consider the context of their actions.
"If a person makes the only choice available to them, based on their developmental history, the prejudices of the country in which they were born, and their current environment, does that make them bad?" Joseph asks.
Everyone has a backstory that explains why they act a certain way. Can we convict them without it? Let's do a test.
Here's a list of situations in which the internet (most notably, this subreddit) thought individuals proved themselves to be rotten from the inside. Upvote the ones you agree with and let's see if there are deeds that don't need the context Maury Joseph was talking about to earn you some pretty nasty labels.

He Spent 20 Years Breeding A Super-Bee That Could Survive Attacks From Mites That Kill Millions Of Bees Worldwide
In a 2018 research paper, psychologists M. Moshagen, B. E. Hilbig, and I. Zettler suggest that what they call "D," or the dark factor of personality, lies at the root of unethical or cruel behavior.
D-factor traits include narcissism and psychopathy, along with:
- sadism
- spitefulness
- self-interest
- entitlement
- moral disengagement
- egoism
All of these traits imply that someone will pursue their own interests at the expense of others.

How Terrible Of A Person Do You Have To Be To Do This
Falsifying Results To Save Money - Impacting How Many Families?!
Maybe you’ve noticed some D-factor traits not only in these pictures but in your behavior as well. However, that does not automatically make you a bad person.
Many of the choices you make affect people besides yourself, so before you do something (especially if you have doubts about whether it’s the right thing to do), it's wise to stop and consider whether your action might hurt someone else.
Passing on a workplace rumor to your boss, for example, could make you look good, but it certainly won’t help your coworker — especially if the rumor turns out to be a lie.
But if you don't care about the potential impact as long as you benefit, or you have a hard time considering consequences for others, you might want to explore your personality a bit deeper.
This Is Exactly Why I Hate Seaworld
When Not Even Your Own Spouse Dying From Covid Will Convince To Change Your Habits And Keep Safe...
There are people who really, truly don't get it. My dad is a hospital chaplain. He's had patients with COVID who don't believe they have COVID. He's had other patients die of COVID and furious family members unwilling to accept that COVID killed their family member. It's ridiculous and sad. Get vaccinated. Social distance. Wear your mask. This s**t is real. Protect yourself and those you care about.
@ Andy, you said it more politely than I can anymore. I hate today b/c I'm on from noon to forever. respect to your father. He's doing a vital service, and I salute him.

THIS happens all the damned time. Interviews with Nurses hear everything from the democrasts are poisoning people to the doctors are LYING and they are not dying but are being killed for money. OR they ARE sick but refuse to believe it is the virus and one nurse said her "Karen" started screaming at her I AM NOT DYING FROM THE VIRUS LET ME GO HOME AND I'LL BE BETTER even though she was so sick she could not stand up and they hear this ALL the time. I've watched interviews on the news and Youtube showing people yelling at the news person IT IS YORU FAULT FOR PUSHING THE DEMNOCRATIC HOAX. There is no virus and you are helping the democrats kill patriotic republicans in order to take over the country and destroy freedom. My mom just had a cough and now they lie and say she is dying and we can't see her to prove THEY ARE LYING. AND of course the idiots who believe some dumbass saying the vaccine is what is killing people and there is no such virus. WTH is wrong with millions of IDIOTS?
I get mad when I hear hospitals are turning people who've been in accidents or have other diseases away to die because their wards are too full of jerks with COVID who refused to vaccinate or wear masks.

OF course there IS A PLUS to this. As the vast majority of those who REFUSE to believe in the Vaccine or there is a Virus are about 99 percent republicans....so the more of them who dies of is a WIN WIN for America. Sort of Natural Selection...let nature get rid of the dumb and worthless.
Do you actually KNOW the "vast majority" of people whom do not believe in the vaccine? I'm thinking no and you are simply looking for excuses to make this about politics. Of the people I DO know, the majority are republicans and they have all been vaccinated, with the exception of myself who cannot receive it.

And this comment proves the stupidity of you...
Load More Replies... my sisters friend's dad is on a ventilator (brother too i think). her mom is still arrogant and thinks this is all because they hung out with vaccinated people. i swear, she was sick one day, her mom seriously asked her this: "have been hanging out with those vaccinated people again?" i f*****g swear shes gonna die alone like her husband and son.
I was careful , but I had to work and caught covid at my workplace. Speaking from experience, covid is terrible and unpredictable. Seeing people like this, who won't even put a mask on, who refuse to get vaccinated, even when their family get sick, makes me so mad. Their stupidity is worse than covid.
Well, now you know why he's in ICU, fighting for his life. His arrogant family just doesn't give a f**k!
Hospital worker here. Mind blowing how many come in with COVID but denying it and refusing to wear a mask. Most of the time they are also anti vaxxers
No, but if there was, they'd refuse the vaccine for that too.

It's the brainwashed masses who still think trump won the election that are the worst
Someone they admire, respect, and totally trust has given them false information for their own purposes. That person cares not a whit about the truth, yet his followers will follow him to their graves. I don't understand it.
Maybe if hospitals stopped killing them, and silencing all the people that have CURES that WORK with NO DEATHS.. I'm more pissed at the thousands of malpractice deaths that were 100% avoidable. But you keep telling yourself those lies so you can sleep better. I had it 2yrs ago, took everything MULTIPLE doctors suggested taking, and literally haven't been sick since going on 2yrs. Meanwhile, "fully vaxxed" people getting sick & dying, and if you're blaming the "unvaxxed", you're an idiot and have no clue how vaccines are supposed to work. Pathetic really. Especially if you claim to be a doctor or nurse.
So, like democRATS in EVERY PARTY they throw, and Bill Gates' daughter's Wedding Party?!!! M'Kay, no one has an agenda HERE!!! LOL !!!
Or another way to look at it, death is eminent and a guarantee SO let’s have a good time. You’ll be surprised how many women get pregnant in war zones. You’ll be surprised how many active duty and guards people f**k one another when they are completely terrified and in fear for their lives. We all handle things differently relax lady relax what is it empathy fatigue?
Yes. Yes it IS empathy fatigue. Especially healthcare workers who have been dealing with this s**t for almost two years now. Non stop. All because a huge population can't be reasoned with, and can't be bothered to care for their fellow human beings in just the smallest of ways. But you enjoy the view from on top of your nihilistic soap box, sweetheart.

If You’re A Parent And Let Your Kids Make A Mess Like This Then You’re A Piece Of Sh**
I'm sorry to the staff that have to clean this up. I mean, the parents could leave a reasonable tip to try and make your night/day better whilst cleaning this up..
A good follow-up question to ask yourself would be "do you take time to consider the emotions of people around you in everyday life?"
Showing interest in the well-being of others is vital to maintaining interpersonal relationships. And it usually doesn’t take much to demonstrate that you care. It's often enough just to offer emotional support or a listening ear.
But if you feel indifferent, or if you believe others deserve the distress they experience, you might benefit from talking to a therapist.

During a flood, a jeep drove by to rescue people and stopped to pick up a man. The jeep offered to help him evacuate, but the man said, "No thanks, God will help me, I have faith." As the flood worsened, a boat came along and made the same offer, but this time also, the man refused. "God will take care of me." The flood worsened even more, and the man had to climb up to the roof of a building. A helicopter came by, and its pilots tried to convince the man to grab onto the rope ladder. The man went, "Yes, the flood is higher, but I know God will save me." In a shocking turn of events, the man drowned to death, and ended up at the gates of heaven. "You betrayed me, God. I had faith in You yet I died." God replied, "I sent you a jeep, a boat, and a helicopter. What else could I have done for you?"

I've told this story before but this collection of the worst of humanity brought it to mind again. About 10 years ago, I was homeless and sleeping in a tent. I would hide it by a wooded area on some parkland and return when night fell to set it up. One night I arrived, found my tent at the same spot I had left it and started to put it up. That's when it became clear that someone had carefully slit long holes all along it, rendering it useless. Some people had obviously seen me take the tent down and stash it, and they thought it would be hilarious not only to destroy my home, but to be sly and wreck it unobtrusively and put it back, just to further mess with me. Not ashamed to say I cried like a baby that night lol. All faith in humanity was destroyed. For a long time
