There seem to be a good number of people who only answer questions with insults or unuseful comments. In fact, if you pull up their profile and view their other answers, it is obvious that they are that way to alot of people. Are these people just trying to get a rise out of others, or are they just naturaly mean nasty people? I would be embarrassed and ashamed to be catigorized that way, but some people dont seem to care. Why are people on here being so nasty? Seems like it is usually the people in the parenting and pets catagories. If you cant say something nice, dont say anything at all. Why cant you answer the question and be done with it, instead of putting people down? I mean, fine give your opinion but if you have to do it in a hateful nasty way, why bother? No one likes to be cused at or insulted. I would really like to know why this is.

I dont think I have ever put down, cused at, or just flat out been mean to someone on here. If you can see one of my answers where I have done any of that, please show me and prove me wrong!

Well, I agree with you and have wondered the same thing. This site is pretty much a parallel to life and there are a lot of mean and nasty people out there. I find it frustrating to say the least, but I try and ignore them so that they don't get any satisfaction from having riled me because that is what they thrive on. The folks that answer questions in that rude manner are why I don''t like people as a whole. They make it a real challenge for me to be nice.

huskymom, you have to realize the level of the question being asked is usually reflected in the answer. If a question is considered stupid, demeaning, abnormal then the answer will reflect the viewers viewpoint. For instance, I will be very sarcastic when answering questions regarding the following:
Paris Hilton's popularity
Brittany Spears
Penis size
Teenagers lovestruck by celebrity
The use of four letter words in questions and things demeaning of women or men for that regard.
People who believe cartoon characters are real.
As you can see some of the questions just invite sarcasm, not rudeness but humor and chiding, people should understand that there are more important things in life to discuss other than "is Paris your fave girl"?
Have a nice day

I know exactly what you mean and I just ignore them and now give them a thumbs down on their answer! I check the profiles too and they are usually insulting to everyone so I just consider the source. They are usually young, dumb kids just trying to make fun of someone and laugh at your expense. I try my best to ignore them and those stupid questions. I think if more people would ignore them maybe they would stop, but, then again, maybe not. I wish more people had manners and etiquette or, at least, some people skills. Another thing, if you don't know the answer then don't bother with answers like "I don't know" or "maybe" or answers that are completely wrong. Honestly, I don't know what is wrong with people nowdays!

Obviously, people use the inherent anonymity of Yahoo! Answers to vent their frustrations and cannot do so in a dignified manner because the lack either the intelligence or the tact necessary to do so in a dignified manner.
Also, other use the same anonymity to be vulgar simply because they are unable to be funny or even slightly suggestive without resorting to disgusting language, for the same lack of intelligence and tact noted above.
Still others may just be evil people, seeking to disrupt the daily lives of the good-hearted in whatever way the can.

Ignorance is a rapidly growing problem here in America. As is a serious lack of respect for our fellow human beings. I totally agree with you. As a vet tech of half my life I tend to hang out in the pets questions. I answer them as truthfully as I can while showing respect to the person who asked the question. It astounds me some of the things people say. Yes I'll joke around with people who ask silly things just to be funny but the ones that are rude do not deserve even a second glance. Great question!!!!!

A lot of people invite nasty answers by asking stupid questions. Beside this, the one with the nasty answer may be a very nice guy/girl if you talk to them face to face. You can be mean and nasty, and nobody can point a finger at you, because nobody knows who you are. Yahoo should give them their own category, that may help the rest of us.

Unfortunately, most people don't think like you do sweetie! And you also have to take into account that their are just a lot of ignorant people in the word-ignorant is the only way to describe them. You just need to do your best to ignore them. But I do agree with you-why bother to even come to this site if you are only going to give hateful and mean answers? It just doesn't make sense.

I am right there with you! I just started reading earlier this week, but it seems there are a lot of rude comments. however, it is a way to answer a question and get points. What they really mean in life is of no concern to me, but apparently they are important to some. Some questions though...like...I missed my period for X number of months and had unprotected sex. Could I be pregnant?" well...I fight to not answer with a smart aleck reply there. Some are just plain goofy questions. Ah well...to each his own....

IMHO I think it is because people hide behind the anonymity of the web which lets them bring out their darkside. Are they naturally mean and nasty? I would guess that the majority aren't, but in an anonymous situation where there is no repercussion, I imagine it is either fun or sort of cathartic to them to show a nasty side and play that character. If you had to register your real name, etc., I bet it would almost never happen.

that is because of the fact many people who provide solutions don't get ultimate answer rewards or perchance they don't comprehend what may be the stunning answer and easily to get 2 factors they respond as they like. that is not a fault of anybody, it extremely is fault of human suggestions which some cases provide up functioning in stunning direction. it is likewise while a woman or female asks any question that's the habit of guy to respond in grotesque way in basic terms to annoy the girl human beings.
