I don't get why "self righteous" is a bad thing. Shouldn't you think all of your actions are the right thing to do before you do them? [I Love Drugs]

I think 'cause self righteousness is less about doing the right thing than it is about doing it "righter" than everybody else.

Really? This from the “I love drugs” space invader?

These days an accusation of “self righteous” is interchangeable with “hypocritical”.
