why do some people get uptight about questions i ask im not racist or against any religion, i just want answer

Question

if you want knowledge then you have to ask questions, how simple can it be i dont mean to offend anyone

Answer 1

Because they have a false sense of entitlement and cannot understand how someone elses viewpoint could possibly be valid if it contradicts their own.

Answer 2

I have just looked at your recent questions, and they indicate that you are either very young or very naive.
Your questions are all quite good ones, if you don't realise that they are politically "loaded"
I found in years gone by that if I asked a naive question, genuinely wanting an answer, and not intending any loaded or political meaning, I could be ostracised by those who thought themselves "politically correct".
This is sad, but my experience - I don't ask certain questions these days - what does that say about freedom of speech?

Best wishes - I think you are genuinely trying to understand a complex and difficult situation, don't give up, but read a few other "answers" in the category that you have used, and see the awful prejudices and hatred that are around and give a bit more thought to your posts.

Answer 3

I have looked at your 4 Q's and see nothing in the wording of those Q's deserving a racist accusation. I think you are understandably upset and frustrated by the reactions to your Q's that attack your person without any justification beyond pointing to the Q asked that set them off. Yahoo land is populated by pigheaded brats and undereducated participants who abuse and misuse the Q&A format for their silly chatroom entertainment and meaningless point accumulation.

Asking Q's is alot harder than answering other people's Q's because you have the challenge and task of picking the best answer fairly. This means views other than your own have to be acknowledged and understood in order to give them fair consideration. I think that stetches your mind and is good for you. Maybe the new changes to the rating system which rates specific answers might start discouraging the brats and their cousins, the trolls.

I might note you have the guts to ask Q's and that as a newcomer you have asked more Q's than people with higher Level ratings. Good for you!

Answer 4

I think that you might be reading some comments in the wrong manner, people sometimes do the same! So you may find that people are agreeing with you but i do understand where you are coming from, you submit a question here to get an answer & some people answer it to get points, it's happened to me & i get cranky.

Answer 5

I agree with you. I get the same angry people who are "screaming" at me and telling me how stupid my questions are. You have questions and concerns the same way everyone else does. Thank you for asking this question.

To put it bluntly, some people think that their opinion is the only opinion that is out there. But we were raised to think for ourselves and to form our own opinions.

Answer 6

don't worry about it. Who cares if random people on the internet get mad? I don't think they're really mad either most of the time, kind of just going through the motions because they think that's what they should do when something seems vaguely politically incorrect. On the other hand, I haven't seen your questions, so maybe they do cross the line, but assuming they don't, just don't worry about it.

Answer 7

Its not your fault, its because there are so many racist questions about religions that come up everyday, so people tend to assume that they are patronising the religion under question...dont take it to heart - just make it clear that it was non-racist next time

Answer 8

You're right, but people also have the right to their own opinion, and some people can't help but insult others

Answer 9

Maybe it's the manner in which you ask. Try rewording the questions you want answered.

Answer 10

Maybe they have something to hide themselves, thats why they point the finger at you
