When I joined this site ,I thought about helping others and being helped .We are supposed to tell people what is wrong or right not blaming or offending them.
Its more like a battle field than a useful site..
What could be the reason?
Honestly did you think it would be like this when you joined yahoo answer?
Shouldnt we stop doing this?

It is like a diamond mine.
99.99% of stuff you get is junk.
that last .01% is worth more than enough.
I only pick on people who every 2 minutes post hate questions.

A lot of it may be in how you read the answers/questions.
I found myself doing something similar with a friend. he had sent me an e-mail and for some reason I just took it like he was trying to brow beat me...come to find out, I was wrong. Glad I asked him to clarify what he meant.
Granted there are several very hateful and and disturbed persons that come here from time to time; but, remember (fortunately) these are just words on a computer screen and not slings and rocks. I guess I'm just used to it; because, people treat me (with wonderful exceptions to this) with very little kindness, decdency, respect when I'm working, except children. Kids make me feel like I'm second only to God and/or Santa Clause when they wave and smile at me or want me to honk the airhorn for them.
Stiff upper lip and be a good soldier now... :)

There are two things in this world guaranteed to cause a fight. Religion and politics.
Now, we aren't talking about politics but we are talking about religion. And religion has caused wars between people.
Why did you think that YA would be a place where everyone would get along? It's religion, of course we're arguing. That's what happens with religion. Heck, even within the same religion, you find people fighting over interpretation of what they believe to be the truth.
Why is that a surprise?

Christians have the history of being "mean." Yet claim to be divinely guided by God. I have been in museums and have seen many Christian instruments of torture to convert non-Christians. For instance, I saw a ladle that Christians would use to pour hot lead into people's ears. I have been insulted and lied to by Christians on this site so many times. My opinion of them is VERY low now. I am not alone in this experience. They keep calling me an atheist, which I am not, and tell me I am evil and will go to Hell, and suffer forever.

We are humans, and the thing that all humans do is fight.
War, Beliefs, everything
They start us young
Peewee sports
High School Sports
Collage Sports
Pro Sports
My state hates your state
My country hates your country
Then the religion gets in there
Well my god can beat up your god, goes something like this
A man walks up to another man and says
Do you believe in god? No the man replies (bang shot dead)
He walks to the next guy and says
Do you believe in God? The man says yes. The man with the gun then says. Do you believe in my god? The man says no. (bang, shot dead)
Been going on for thousands of years with only a few more thousand to go.

Some do it deliberatly to be mean but for others they get offended because they do not believe in what the other person believes in. But you're right. I didn't think it would be this way either. and my aim was to help people and so on but I don't see it happening anytime soon.

I didn't think it would be like this, sometimes I don't want to come here, but I do.
Look over all that, and just go help someone that needs you.
We are in the army of the Lord.
We are strong in the power of his might
He is a mighty God

As long as Yahoo answer exists this battle field over the tongue will never end. It is very obvious that different belief will fight one another over how truth in their belief. This is human nature.

I completely agree and have even been considering if I'm wasting my time. I just read some answers to a ridiculous question about the pearly gates and noticed how offensive the "Christian" answers were and I'm a Christian who believes that this is a wonderful opportunity to share one's faith and learn about others!

People would rather be right than be kind. Having said that, I have run into some kind people all over the site.
