How often have you asked questions here in R&S knowing they would make someone mad?

Question

And was that your only purpose?
What was you true purpose?

Yes milla, its all about you ; )

Dave, unfortunatly I was thinking of myself when I asked.

Answer 1

I don't ask that many question and only a couple have been designed to be irritating (we all have bad days).

My question which was meant to irritate the most people was reported before I got any answers. I asked "Is there anyone here who can prove they don't love the sound of their own words?" I plead guilty myself on occasion. I suspect that's what drives some of the questions you refer to.

Answer 2

**"Please Patiently read this. Thank You."**

Patience is an important factor which enables us to effectively forgive others. Patience is the ability to remain internally calm, and undisturbed in the face of harm and difficulties in life.
But Patience does not involve pasting a plastic smile on our face while anger or hatred simmers inside. It involves slowly dissolving the anger-energy so that it is no longer there. This takes place through the cultivation of patience. Then with a clear mind, we can evaluate various alternatives and decide what to effectively say or do, without harming others through retaliation, in order to remedy a situation.

*Sometimes we feel that forgiving the people who have harmed us is tantamount
to condoning their harmful behavior.
Therefore, staying angry with them seems the only way to express our continued disapproval of their behavior. However, I do not think that is the case. A person and his behavior are separate. We can not necessarily say that a person is evil even if his behavior or intention at that moment was harmful. I believe that each human being has innate potential to overcome his imperfections, for each person has some internal goodness that can never be destroyed, no matter how bad he or she may act. Thus, we can forgive and let go of our anger toward the person who harmed us and at the same time maintain that his behavior was injurious and unacceptable, and should not be continued in the future.
Forgiving does not mean tolerating damaging behavior or staying in a very abusive situation. Motivated by Compassion, we can take strong measures to prevent or interrupt harm thus forgiveness does not render us a "softly."
Forgiveness benefits ourselves as well as others. When we hold onto our anger, we're
tense and unhappy, and this affects in our
relationships and affects our physical health.
By forgiving, we let go of our anger, and thus cease of own mental and emotional suffering.
Of course we can not force ourselves to dissolve anger to forgive someone. We dissolve anger through the cultivation of Patience. And cultivating a new skill takes time. And even occasionally we may first need to remove ourselves from a very stress-provoking person or situation to get some mental distance. Then, through practicing some antidotes to anger, we can gradually dissolve it. And as we do this, the
spaciousness, clarity, and gentleness of
forgiveness will naturally arise in our hearts and minds toward others.

*Conclusion:

People wonder whether forgiving means forgetting. *NO, it does not. Remembering is very important, but no benefit comes from keeping the hurt, pain, resentment, and the anger alive in our hearts and minds.
Remembering with compassion is more powerful.

Hope this helps some.

Thank You for giving me the opportunity to give an answer to your question.

P.S. - I am not necessarily an expert on this subject, but have experienced much in these areas in my life. Impatience, Anger, and Unforgiveness use to be my "closest" friends, which brought me so much dissatisfaction and misery in my life.

**And in my opinion, being very patient, gentle, kind, forgiving, and compassionate toward ourselves is a prerequisite to demonstrating these wholesome factors toward others. Loving ourselves brings us peace of mind, and happiness, and is "not" a form of selfishness.

Answer 3

i have done that pretty often i knew i would make people angry but that is not why i asked them. i want people to think and to feel. and to know something other than what is taught in every day life. to know something new. and some questions were asked in an emotional rage. i have been going through alot lately and some are just personal things i want others opinion on.

Answer 4

once - my purpose was to make people think, but I suspected someone might get mad, and that is exactly what happened.
I don't generally seek to make people mad. It's not very useful.
Sometimes I get annoyed, you can note it when I give sarcastic answers. When I do that, it's probably time for me to go off line! LOL

Answer 5

I have posted just one question here and it was not controversial at all. There was no malice or bad intention on my part. I was just really curious on how people would interpret the question "are you still growing?"

I am in Y!A not to make anybody mad, not to debate anyone. I am here simply to provide answers to people who have questions, and to have some fun along the way (but not at the expense of another).

SMILE!

Answer 6

Not to often, but not with the intent to make anyone mad. Just make some think a little.

Answer 7

You don't have to make someone mad. It happens by itself. I can answer a question one way and people get mad. I can answer it just the opposite the next time and people get mad.

Answer 8

I thought that was the whole point...wait we're NOT supposed to make people mad and get reactions out of them?

Answer 9

Frequently - purpose was to try and share the truth

Answer 10

put up some answers that I felt would cause a little discomfort, but some folks are just to sensitive!! LOLOLOL
