Let's say you blast around with loud pipes for a year or so and then become a model neighbour. If you immediately become a no noise freak you look like a hypocrite. How long do you have to wait before you can bytch about other peoples noises?
Is hypocrasy a life sentence?

you trying to tell us something...lol...and how do you become the model neighbour? you assume because you don't do something anymore, that makes you a model neighbour? i would say there is no limit and you should just start bithing now...
You go to quiet pipes. How long before you are allowed to bytch about other people and their annoying noises?
I figure you just ***** and keep the loud pipes. I mean don't you have them on your motorcycle to save your life, yet the guy down the street with the loud civic has loud pipes because he's an idiot

No need to become a 'no noise freak', just be reasonable when asking people to not mow the lawn at 6am or whatever. If they want to bring up the past you can apologize and negotiate.
That said, you can't fight Loud with quiet, so setup 10,000 watts of Celine Dion and push play as soon as they do whatever annoys you.

That's awesome lol.
The dude below me a couple years ago had a habit of leaving his tv on really loud at 3 am, usually something like a ball game was on, so eventually I just faced my 1000w surround sound system in to the floor and cranked up some raunchy porn, I think he got the point.
For those who don't get what he is trying to say:
He used to have a loud bike and his neighbours probably weren't too fond of him for that.
Now he has a quiet bike, and he wants to start complaining about other people with loud bikes in his area.
He wants to avoid looking like a hypocrite, so he's asking how long he has to wait before he can start complaining about loud bikes, just like the one he had previously.

yup.
- hy·poc·ri·sy
noun /hiˈpäkrisē/
hypocrisies, plural
- The practice of claiming to have moral standards or beliefs to which one's own behavior does not conform; pretense
However, if you had a bike with illegal, or ridiculously loud pipes, and then one day you woke up and thought to yourself "man, these loud pipes aren't cool; they just annoy people and make me look like a ******-bag." When you proceed to put legal (modest, or stock) pipes on your bike the next day, and find loud bikes annoying, you are not a hypocrite. You are just someone who has learned the error in their ways.
You may feel guilt or shame for being an *** previously, so maybe some repentance may be in order, but it does not make you a hypocrite because your behaviour (quiet pipes on your bike) align with what you say or believe (annoyance with other people who have loud pipes).

I see your Celine and raise you a Paul Anka.
You can start complaining the minute you stop. You saw the light man, now you need to go and show others the way.

It's amazing what a little introspection can bring. Humility. Empathy. Civility. Some say ignorance is bliss, but I'd rather be conscientious and know what happiness is. You are most happy when your actions align with your values.
Cheers!
nice explanation. it's really interesting. i've met quite a few religious people who don't do what they preach. but i've never seen an atheist go to church.

here on GTAM, hypocrasy is measured in post counts
