Every now and again I suppose, like when I have a god awful yet catchy song stuck in my head, or something.

Fuck yeah, at times. Although I'm working very hard on remaining non-judgemental towards any of them.
From what I have read over the years (and from what my gut feeling tells me) non-attachment is key here. Without attachment, said thoughts would not be the recipient of such feelings.
Great thread man. Great picture.

Think Leary said the Universe is an IQ test.... How long are you going to live in a soap opera where you want to punch your thoughts? I'm sure there is a more rational way to deal with your own thoughts towards yourself and other hostile people, deal with them the same way you'd deal with an infection, rationally, without claiming the thought is right or wrong... Anger is the greatest burden to hang on to, those who forgive live happiest.
-------------------- Everything is better than it was the last time. I'm good. If we could look into each others hearts, and understand the unique challenges each of us faces, I think we would treat each other much more gently, with more love, patience, tolerance, and care. It takes a lot of courage to go out there and radiate your essence. I know you scared, you should ask us if we scared too. If you was there, and we just knew you cared too.

Find a way to stop yourself from having the thoughts. Easier said than done. My latest intrusive thought is "why do I have to so often be the best person around?" Because other people usually don't live up to my standards. I used to cope by making myself lesser. But now I can't afford to dumb myself down, take an ethical plunge, by lazy etc. so I need a new way to not be resentful of all the stupid, lazy assholes in the world.

Terrible advice imo. You can't stop stop yourself from having thoughts. You seem to hold a lot of hate/grudges, or at least recently, based on the last few posts I've seen of yours. Let it go. Listen to JSB and CJ

OP, one of the best things I have learned, and this actually stayed true after going full circle many times. . . like, back home to nature, many times, back into the world, etc., many many journeys. . . is - love yourself. Let it go - don't mind if any thought came up that wasn't helpful - anything that has been said and done in the past - that is dust. Vivekananda made the striking point about that once. . . be strong enough not to mind the dust of the past - or more strongly he put it I believe, but -
Ya, in almost any endeavor - whether it's world-level competition of some sort, or simply peeling potatoes - & the two are not that far apart, heh - it's very true. . .
Also - weakness is not cured by brooding over thoughts of weakness - instead, focus on thoughts of strength. . .
Make the h'art, mind, body strong, because strength is the guide to life.
& of course, as the Taoists say, always complement strength with softness, etc. . .
As it's not the kind of strength to go fighting people, I'm talking about, it's more the kind that knows it is never going to get ill - never going to falter. .
in other words, take simple delight in self-trust - when you're walkin' down the street, be joyful simply that over billions of years, you have perfected your living form so much that you can walk, skip & dance, and never falter or fall, never trip. . . etc.
At least I am assuming you never fall when you're walking. 
Now that may seem simple - but believe me, it is wonderful; the more joy & appreciation you have for your good qualities, your strengths, & so forth, the less you will mind about any other.
& also again, be very selective in life, that is main key..
& it's not what others think that matters - this is another little tid-bit or secret that --- is fairly ubiquitous, common in our culture. . . yet - by the very fact of it being common, it becomes forgotten; yet it is gold.
ok get out there on the open road! 
injoy & have a wonderful day

It sounds like you are a shitty egotistical prick to be honest. Trust me buddy with an attitude like that, you're right, you really can't afford to dumb yourself down any more.
Also if you could smarten up and use the correct words that would be awesome, BE lazy not by lazy, and try correct comma usage when listing things. A little advice, try not to get so lazy with your typing there asshole

Very briefly - I do not mean exactly that others' thoughts do not matter at all;
it's more a matter of 'if someone by praising me can elate me, then someone else by criticizing could make me feel bad'. . .
Type of thing, etc.
Not to be a robot, etc., but our natural state I do believe, is many levels beyond the type which considers those who praise us good, etc.. . .
it's an infinitely complex & simple & the same time life. . . all of this is totally extraneous & unnecessary,
but it's fairly clear that those who live too much for others' opinions of them become increasingly insubstantial in the scheme of things. . .
Create your world as you would wish it ! You do create it, so take responsibility - when I was much younger, I found that accepting responsibility for my world, actually made life much easier & better - relieved a great deal of burden - contrary to what one might think if one never did this. . .
Because then - you don't have any need to worry about what others think -
You learn from them sure, & interact, & form new and rewarding friendship, etc. -
I've gone off topic a little bit. . .

I was just watching a video of Matt Kahn's where he said something along the lines of "if thoughts don't have a problem with us, why would we have a problem with thoughts?" - i thought this was a neat view to have regarding this

What I keep telling myself, is that there are things you are not blameworthy for, but still responsible for.
Follow a principle of sufficient reason, and there is arising, and a reason or root, but that is also what you are, so be kind to yourself when you can't always just get on the "other side" of thoughts. What's up with that idea anyway? I want to know!
...Maybe there is your karma, the principle of all arising, suffering, but there is also dharma, which takes the same form. I think it is possible to see that. There is a reason for everything, and it is what you are responsible for, but not blameworthy for.
So I say go easy. But if you see the Buddha walking down the street...

Anyway, this thread got me thinking about ways to stop the thoughts. I use a little cognitive behavioral therapy. My thoughts of "fuck all those lazy, stupid assholes" is not productive to my life. I want to punch those thoughts in the face. But instead of just raging, which is basically the level of dumb the original line of thinking follows, I CBT it: So I came up with a new thought to think to replace "Fuck those lazy, stupid assholes!", which is, "I'm being smart, hard-working, and nice for my own personal reasons which are many, and some of those reasons (but not all) actually lead to a better outcome for my overall life than allowing myself to be lazy, stupid, or an asshole." Although, I sort of boiled down that thought to a thought that means the same thing to me, which is, "I'm not being stupid, lazy, or an asshole for my own personal reasons, and it has nothing to do with how stupid, lazy, or an asshole anyone else is." Replacing this thought with the previous thought through repetition over time will eventually make it automatic, and lead to less resentment of stupid, lazy assholes. That's the plan anyway. It's worked for other things for me.

I read somewhere something along the lines of, what you see in others is usually most prevalent in yourself...If you do a Google search there's all types of quotes and jargon related to this idea, but maybe you should start looking at yourself before you start labeling everybody else as lazy and stupid.
