if someone(me included)asks a funny or odd question or something, 1/2 the people respond with "get a life." or if the joke was obviously a joke, a lot of times people will take it seriously and be like "you have problems. etc"
and if someone post a photo of themselves and just asks "how do i look? thanks=D"
then a bunch of people respond like "you have no self-confidence and i look better and yadee yadaa"
i dunno, i really love it when people can take a joke=D
am i the only one who feels this way?
thanks
xao=D

for example, this clever question someone just asked: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Aqzi30eMMlv1_6qi6BvoZQrD7BR.?qid=20070707153056AAWbGvi&show=7&cp=1&tp=2#all-answers&tnu=35

I do enjoy the occasional humor found here. But you really need to make it obvious that it is only humor. For example, follow up with a "ha ha" at the end. Everybody hears things differently, even when spoken. It's even more diverse when read. So your underlying intent needs to be very obvious. I think too, that there are some people that are angry by nature, have anger inside that readily surfaces in attitude. I think many of these types respond to your questions because they can do so with out consequences, unlike a face to face encounter. Just an observation.

You aren't the only one. I think some answerers are a little full of themselves. I am not saying act like a jackass, just lighten up and show some common courtesy.
I answered a "how do I look question" by saying the asker was attractive. I got a down arrow. What's up with that? I wish I knew who it was because it was uncalled for.
Anyway, I'm off my soapbox now.

Depends what it is. I have a sense of humor but if it's a white person insulting Black people (something that's very common in Y/A), i'm not gonna think it's funny.

They cannot take jokes because they haven't got any. Can you give what you don't have?
