Really? Some versions are really off then... One said that they must be killed.


Figures.
Well, it depends on how you interpret it - Hebrew laws have different levels on uncleanliness. Periods, for example, required isolation and a cleansing rital, as did masturbation (or just missing the vagina). On the other hand, working on the Sabbath also made one ritually unclean - And there are examples of people being stoned for that offence.
Due to the placement of that particular phrase, the most informed and academic interpretations peg it at the same level as periods and masturbation (it was more or less the same offence as masturbation - 'spilling the seed') but others prefer to interpret it more harshly, which caught on.

Of course, Leviticus is an utterly obsolete, ignored book.
Do hypocrites hate hypocrisy?

It can be questioned by someone who has an actual understanding of psychology. Your average joe does not. I know when you were little, and your teacher says "There's no such thing as a stupid question", well your teacher was wrong. There are such things as stupid questions.

No. No its not. Its people like you who think psychology is bullshit that contribute to lack of care for the mentally deranged. Which leads to things like the Arizona Massacre.

I may be young, and that's okay. Since age does not always bring wisdom. I may be stubborn to the point of stupidity; but at least I fight for my beliefs. I may be fooled by a lie; but I can then say I trusted. My heart may get broken however, then I can say I truly loved. With all this said I have lived. :D
