The problem isn't with the questions, its just that your questions touch on "nerves" and that is Religion. That's why its said in "polite society never talk about "religion or politics" because it leads to "debates" and the point of a polite society is to have a "stress free environment" while enjoying your evening.
However, sooner or later, there must be debate. It just needs to happen with rational well thought out individuals without hate or recrimination, or society is meaningless. If we have no way to exchange ideas, then no ideas can be exchanged or new solutions to old problems found, nor can we "educate" ourselves on things we thought we knew about.
Sorry, just rambling.

The reason that you probably keep getting slammed is because the questions that you ask either make no sense or are in some way offensive to others. Incidentally, the spirit in which Yahoo! answers was created was one where, if a person needed the answer to a question, then he or she could turn to the internet and get a valid answer to their question from someone who knows the answer to that question. It was not intended as a forum for debate. Obviously, since there are many who use this service and there are many who will believe that their answer is correct whilst the answer of someone else is incorrect, then a certain degree of debate may ensue... it was not however, set up with the intent that questions that would obviously incite debate would be the primary function of this site. There are countless blogs, forums and other such places in which to engage in the art of debate... Yahoo! Answers however, is not one of them... I hope that this helps...

I personally have never slammed a person asking a question. I do, and will continue to slam public figures who are idiots.
Some of the questions are good questions. Honest debate is a good thing. Too many people believe something without knowing WHY they believe it.
I do not knwo who you really are so I can not sue you but feel free to give me the 10 points. :)

There are some crazy people on Yahoo answers. A lot of people are in it for the game of getting the most points. Some people have real questions, or they are wondering what someone else would do. My suggestion is to ignore the people who can't read a full question and answer honestly.

Here's another saying. The quickest way to get your nose broke is to stick it where it don't belong. If you had a decent mother who taught you morals instead of a whore who taught you how to instigate anger and hostility, she would have taught you this. People like you know how to push buttons, that's all. Sissies like you will never know what it's like to love something so much as to give your life for it. You would rather hide behind a computer and act tough instead of going out into the street and proving it.

I would tend to agree with what you are saying, but I also want to point out that there are those that don't know how to respond depending on how they were asked. If you keep debates or conversations open-minded then you most likely will not have slamdowns but then again there are those that simply are unable to think outside the box. those are the ones I avoid!

I know what you are talking about. I see it quite abit. If they can't answer the question or they don't like how the question makes them feel they put the person down. It's quite sad actually. I've even seen suicidal people on here get put down by others or told that they were crazy. I just don't know sometimes. But anyways I know what you mean.

that would depend on several factors... character of the person him/herself, mood of the person, the method of message delivery (sarcasms, annoyance, etc...)....
point is, every one is entitled to state his opinion, view, observations based upon his belief. and respect of these matters most for an argument or debate be held in a low tone. what more is, if the argument doesn't hold an uproar of sorts or tensions, the argument/debate is rather tame and dry and it doesn't fit to be called an argument or debate at all. so, any argument can be stated as such if it lives up to it's description... other than that, it's worthless to be discussed and pondered upon and people lose their interest on any subject at all.
further, it's people's instinct to either flare up or wear down depending on the factor stated earlier... ciao.

What was the question? Or are you just looking to hear from the people who disagree with you because most of us try to give constructive answers. The ones that don't usually key in on the absurd or hostile questions.

Hi there, that is all fine, but it works both ways.. Make sure you can handle the answers you recieve when you ask a question. Opinions are like ***holes, everyone has one...
Don't sweat it.
