If yahoo answers were real life, do you think people would give rude, ugly, disrespecful answers still?

Question

i mean come on people. many of the questions i ask on here i ask people in real life. most (not all) do not give upfront answers.

so is this true that most people are cowards when they try to voice their opinion?

Answer 1

Is easy to just answer a question in this place, you dont know who i am and if i offend you with my answer, Duh...i dont care cause you dont know who i am, dont know where i live, it makes no difference. But if you were someone i knew and you would be asking these question, i would be more kind to you i guess.
have fun with your questions☺

Answer 2

Thanks for saying this.
I always base my answer on the intelligence of the question/answerer. And I base that on spelling, grammar, and question. I'm not here to bash anybody, but I won't hold back if I don't particularly like what/how the asker went about asking. And if I really don't like what I read, then I don't answer or simply imply the asker should improve on their asking. If you are going to ask a question, it should represent something of you. So make it worth it, For everyone.
Include as much detail in the question if you are looking for a detailed answer. Don't be too straight forward. Blunt questions produce blunt answers. Spelling and grammar and well said questions get my vote and a decent answer.
Sometimes I'm so 'upset' and/or disappointed by what I find on here.

Answer 3

Yes I am sorry to say, people can be rude in real life too--but I think some of these people do hide behind there hidden Id's on here. My theory is if you do not want those kinds of answers then do not ask questions---I am not trying to be rude really just my theory--I still ask and get rude responses I like your questions, they make me think sorry so long.

Answer 4

Yes because there are rude, ugly and disrespectful people in real life. You can't escape that. It always there.

I think that people just feel safer to voice there opinions when there face can't be seen. And the only back lash is a violation or suspension.

Answer 5

Most "cowards" do not voice their real opinion. That's why they are cowards. But if they are a real friend, they will answer your questions truthfully, and sometimes the truth hurts, but ask yourself, "are they trying to be rude and hatefull? Or are you just offended at their answers?"

Answer 6

Well Yeah!!!!! There are people who are rude in general. Rather if it is on yahoo! answers or in real life. Being rude, ugly, and disrespectful are just apart of many individuals personality. Sorry to say it, but it's true.

Answer 7

Well, those people that do not tell you the whole truth or the "beautifulized" truth are really cowards. But also they might be those kind of people that do not want to hurt your feeling, or just do not have an opinion (plain stupid people :) )
If you would know me and asked me a question, I would tell you my opinion, whether you like it or not.

Answer 8

It's not a question of cowardice but social propriety. And don't forget that both asker and answerer are anonymous. You can trust the answers here much more than you can in "real life" except for the obvious crackpots who are easily identifiable.

Answer 9

Some people might still give rude answers...but I always think those are the 12 year olds who weigh 80 lbs, trying to sound all tough.

Answer 10

Yes, I think people are rude because they lack the intelligence and social skills necessary to actually state their opinion in a courteous manner. I have no problem discussing real life issues, and I do so with respect and decorum.

Answer 11

they are literally doing it to seek interest indirectly. They pose questions or make comments to get a reaction from human beings, in many circumstances an offended one. It provides them some kind of amusement to attempt this. I do see it a lot of that on youtube. i do not understand if all of them don't have any acquaintances, yet a number of them seem to have anger topics, others are probably basically immature.
