Contemptible (contemptible)
a.(?)
Con*tempt"i*ble
  1. Worthy of contempt; deserving of scorn or disdain; mean; vile; despicable.
    Milton.

    The arguments of tyranny are ascontemptible as its force is dreadful.
    Burke.

  2. Despised; scorned; neglected; abject.
    Locke.
  3. Insolent; scornful; contemptuous.
    [Obs.]

    If she should make tender of her love, 't is very possible he 'll scorn it; for the man . . . hath a contemptible spirit.
    Shak.

    Syn. -- Despicable; abject; vile; mean; base; paltry; worthless; sorry; pitiful; scurrile. See Contemptuous. -- Contemptible, Despicable, Pitiful, Paltry. Despicable is stronger than contemptible, as despise is stronger than contemn. It implies keen disapprobation, with a mixture of anger. A man is despicable chiefly for low actions which mark his life, such as servility, baseness, or mean adulation. A man is contemptible for mean qualities which distinguish his character, especially those which show him to be weak, foolish, or worthless. Treachery is despicable, egotism is contemptible. Pitiful and paltry are applied to cases which are beneath anger, and are simply contemptible in a high degree.

Noah Says...
The principles of genuine liberty, and of wise laws and administrations, are to be drawn from the Bible and sustained by its authority. The man, therefore, who weakens or destroys the divine authority of that Book may be accessory to all the public disorders which society is doomed to suffer.
  




Through his work as a personal trainer and coach, Chas has observed that each individual is unique in how they are motivated, as well as their as well as what their goals and pre-existing conditions entail. In other words, one size does not fill all! That's why our trainers work so closely with each client to customize a healthy living plan that is just right for them.
