in the yahoos category politics, why do most answers resort to insults instead of answering questions respect-

Question

fully despite disagreements. It is the only part of yahoo answers where people could across very rude and badly in contrast to other sections where they are kind and helpful. Is there anyway to stop that..even if it is the first time someone ever reads your post they have no problem being rude to you.


I had avoided that section for a while and recently ventured in and see it is still going on..

here are my questions:

1. If you frequent that section of yahoo answers do you tend to resort to attacking people's intelligence and so forth when you answer or don't like something someone else says.

2. why do most people in this section do that?

3. Are you willing to try harder if you do this to try to be more respectful of people even if you disagree with them.

4. Do you generally just ask like this anonymously or in real live interactions too.

Please answer as many of these 4 question as fully as you can..thanks

4. this should read do you act like not ask like this in real life too..sorry about that

Answer 1

A little bit of human nature and a lot of ignorance....
1. I try not to.. but i have to admit sometimes I get angry and do say things i shouldn't
2. i like to think we do that because we are passionate about our beliefs.. and get annoyed because others do not understand.. but that in itself is really silly
3. yes, I should be willing.. but I will still stick up for myself and what I believe
4. I ask questions here and in talk shops, at school and with friends.. No matter what I think conversation is always good..

Thanks for your questions.. hope I answered clearly.

Answer 2

I don't frequent that section often but when I do I respect the intelligence of others even when I may not agree with them because I may be aware of something they do not or they may know something I don't and I can learn from them. I often dislike something someone else says but I see the reason they say it so it doesn't really bother me.

I think perhaps if most people do this, it is because they see others doing it. If one person were to not do that perhaps someone else will as well.

I can not be beligerent in true life so really won't here either because my personal oopinion is that life is too short for that!!

I guess those are my answers to you here but I disagree it is the only place that people are rude and insulting. the marriage section often has the same problem.

Answer 3

I feel there is a lot of people who are guilty about it, but, hey it is all about wits and being able to handle the criticism. But a lot of them go too over aboard with it and then you should report it if it bothers you that much. Besides politics is rough business, nothing more and nothing less. Hell I've been called names and even threatened by e-mail, just to tell you how ignorant some can be. Some of them is in here to just to troll and cause trouble for their past time, and for the most I enjoy the differences in opinons as long as it is done resectfully.

Answer 4

i have considered the most pathetic posts the following obtainable too. (e.g., blatant anti-republican sneering, lack of doubts about Obama's U.S. citizenship, etc.), and definite maximum of it nonetheless receives help by technique of someone who call such questions "exciting" by technique of awarding a favourite individual.
