why is it that when someone asks a hypothetical question , people take it so seriously ? and call you names.??

Question

i'm the genious that asked why bill gates couldn't give everyone on the planet $ 1 billion. and boy howdy was i ever attacked !!!! i don't expect ANYBODY to give me anything. it was just a "WHAT IF QUESTION" people. there isn't any reason for all of the hateful things some of you said to me. if all you want to do is insult and hurt peoples feelings.....why don't you think twice before doing so. ya'll don't know me and if ya did.....you would like me. i'm a very nice person..."MOST OF THE TIME". but when i get attacked , like i did here.....I WILL DEFEND MYSELF !! i'm not perfect and neither are the hateful people that jumped all over me for not being as smart as they think they are. as far as Bill Gates goes....it's wonderful that he is giving his money to worthy causes. people it was a silly harmless " WHAT IF " question. so , for the smart big mouths out there........think before you start pecking out an insult to people. i'm only human. and guess what? you mean people are too.

Answer 1

Why not stick with asking serious questions for some time, then see the response.Hypothetical questions are good but you must know how to structure them without getting on the sore toes of cynic answerers. Cheer up.

Answer 2

I would imagine it's because you hit a sore spot on those people. You said what they were thinking. I mean, who woudn't like a billionaire to hand them some money? Then too, people dont want to be thought of as bad enough off to actually need someone else to help them. It's full of contradictions, but it's how people are. No matter where you are from.

Answer 3

The Q was hypothetical. Im really not understanding why your responses were so ahteful and angry. Although your math was pretty skewed, it wasnt cause for attack.

Answer 4

They probably just didn't read the question that well.
