Why is it that when you present an issue on here, people always think you're lying or not serious?

That really pisses me off! What reason do I need to lie or joke about a health or law enforcement issue?

Answer 1

you know....bad apples and all.

Answer 2

This is the most extreme case I've ever seen of using "always" in the feminine sense: = "More often than I'd like."

I've looked at a dozen sets of answers to your questions, including all those with "Law" in the subject category. Of those, you got one set where nearly everyone said more info needed, and a single really rude Answer. In NONE of those sampled did anyone accuse you of lying or joking.

I'm setting this on my Watchlist because I'm interested. If you want a serious answer to your question, from me or anybody else--or even informed sympathy!--please add an "Additional Details" section with links to questions where you WERE accused or lying or joking. (Just in case you OR somebody else doesn't understand how: Click the pencil at the end of the icon row--it appears on YOUR questions only, not other people's--and choose. It's got a pretty generous character limit, and I believe you can use it as often as you think reasonable. Certainly more than once.)

Answer 3

Because no matter what the issue is, it can and WILL be politicized by someone, somewhere. It is one of the flaws of being part of a larger democratically functioning community. Political dishonesty and mis-trust are inherent in all democratic type societies. You never know if someone is being genuine about something, or if they are craftily spinning the details or delivery of the discussion in a certain way, to benefit a certain agenda. It is a most unfortunate reality of living in a free society.

Answer 4

I can't imagine that you would lie but I think that what might be hard to take serious is the attitude you used in your question, might just lend it self to the thought that you weren't serious?
