Why are you being so defensive? You just told me to chill out and I don't even know you.
It reminds me of the truck I saw the other day with two bumper stickers. One said, my horn doesn't work, so watch for the finger and the other said, my kid can beat up your honor student. geez, such competition and hatred.
Why get so defensive and wound up over something you can't help anyway?

The "act of asking questions" is actually part of a philosophical question that I am working on in terms of memes and human suffering for a philosophy of the mind. Ask away.
I would say that people tend to become defensive based on how a question is parsed.

Yes- I take them with a grian of salt, and just know they haven't figured it out yet.
Life shouldn't be so stressful, espically over what someone else says or does. Look within yourselves.
I (from time to time) like to put out silly questions just to see the reaction- it amuses me!

As long as you are not threatening them to change. People are resistant to change and hate it, so when you tell somebody, in a sense, that something about them is wrong and they should change, they get touchy feeling about that sort of thing.

nope, on here people answer the best they can using their current state of mind and heart and understanding.
If you want direct answers ask clear questions or mention you are joking.
If you sincerely ask a question from your heart be prepared to be flogged with thumbs down too....some on here love it like a passion.
