Sometimes the hatred on Yahoo message boards..and even q &a are so vile, I wonder if people really are that bitter, (in which case we are in big trouble) or if responses like that are just to rile people.
Why do people feel so free to say such nasty things they wouldn't dare say to a person's face?
(IF YOU ANSWER IN AN ABUSIVE MANNER, I WILL REPORT YOU)

I suspect most of them feel protected because it isn't face to face. In the same way that being surrounded by the frame of your car makes you feel inviolate.
We all feel the need to be a little bit risque sometimes and some of us act it out.
On the other hand I offended a questioner last week when I had absolutely no intention of doing so. I simply misread the feelings behind the question. I thought it was a prank and she was serious.
I still feel bad about it!
Sure there are some bitter, bigots out there.It is just that we don't usually frequent the kinds of place they like to hang out! Answers can be very enlightening- and scary!

Sadly, the internet seems to have opened the flood gates. You say people would never say such things to a person's face, that is becoming less and less so. This is a sad (and scary trend).
As for Miss Ann, I will miss her. She was a hoot! Never knew what was going to come out of her mouth when she started talking. I wouldn't consider her a great leader, but boy would I have loved to have her over for dinner!

nicely, from my experience even as someone is sentenced to death, you in basic terms gave him 15 extra years to stay because it look to take about that lengthy for the entire procedure to get dealt with. contained in the recommend time, his foodstuff, meds, leisure education and so on, are being dealt with by employing the taxpayer. If no individual needs to easily use the death penalty, then a minimum of deny the prisoners, gyms and workout recurring rooms, television and action pictures, and elements them absolutely the minimum to stay with. Make extra prisons and function each and every individual of their personal cellular on lock down 23 out of 24 hours. in spite of this, in basic terms save sentencing human beings to death and under no circumstances doing it in basic terms makes it even a lot less useful of a deterrent. provide them the necessary a million three hundred and sixty 5 days reprieve and if there is reason for a stay on the top of that three hundred and sixty 5 days, then bypass on. If not, bypass to the cellular and do it with none fanfare. Now it really is supposing accountable previous all sensible. Yep, there have been innocuous human beings killed for against the law they did not committ, yet what number have not been killed for against the law they dedicated and what number were released and killed again? both completely placed them away for organic existence or placed them to death lower than the situations above.

Sometimes people feel that since they are on a message board, they have the right to insult and treat people like trash. It's like something they would never do in person, but can online, like they are scared to do it in person. I don't see why people feel like they can be vile either. I think it shows what kind of person they are and it makes themselves look like trash. That's only my opinion.

I am nice. I didn't agree with Ann Richards politically, but she was a strong woman and a true Texan. I heard she got her motorcycle license at age 60. She sounded like a cool lady.

It's the internet-a paradise for lunatics, malcontents and social inadequates. Nothing I read in cyberspace surprises me any more.
