Question for Christians who think non-Christians "bash" Christians on yahoo answers?
Thanks for the question. although I doubt my answer will ever end the childishness that occurs on this board, perhaps it can help clear some things up... 1. I guess that most Atheists are like Most religious folks--they do the best they can to live up to their own moral standards, however culturally developed, but they don't always live up to them. Likewise, I think most people cause a lot of hurt, whether we know it or not. 2 . A question--especially one that is well-thought out and is motivated by a sincere search for an answer--is not an attack. That being said, there are plenty of ideological statements that are disguised as questions coming from Atheists to Christians (Why isn't Christianity in "Mythology and Folklore" on YAhoo Answers?) AND Christians to Atheists (How Can anyone not believe that Jesus is Lord?) There's also lots of Snarkiness that is obvious. 3. There's a big difference. I would say there are probably (at least) four categories of things on this board: a) questions seeking an actual, fact-based response b) questions that are meant to start a debate--or even pick a fight c) questions that are actually jabs, snarky comments, or outright insults d)questions that are actually thesis statements, driven by a particular point of view. One can find an example of these questions submitted by members of all religious groups represented on this board. And 4. I recently saw a question referring to why Christians use the Old testament/Hebrew Scriptures, and there was an answer that said "Because Jesus wiped his *** with it and made holy ****" or something like that...now, while I am WELL aware that that was not representative of the behavior of atheists on this board, and while I also know it says more about that person's immaturity than it does their lack of religious belief, I would call it bashing, and it's not appropriate. There are plenty of examples of it on this board. Absurd questions posted on here by "the what should I do" guy and stuff like that, while made in jest, probably come across as bashing to those who take their faith (and this forum) uber-seriously. 5. I might read those questions, but because I don't see a contradiction between evolution and Christian faith, I usually casually glance at them. I don't have a "dog in that fight," so to speak.
Why do people ask really easy questions on Quora?
Seriously, I've been asked to answer some seriously stupid questions recently, to which I just responded with very straightforward short replies as I find the questions extremely annoying, but I feel like it would be wrong if I just ignored them. And these people don't even have the sense to ask them anonymously :/ Strange enough, many of the smart questions I'm posed with actually are asked anonymously. I think the people who ask these stupid questions are too stupid to figure out how to add anonymity to their questions or else I'm sure they would have done so. You guys are just candy coating things here. Just be honest with yourselves and tell it like it is. Some people ask really stupid questions because they are actually quite stupid. Sometimes I think stupidity should be a crime, then at least if the stupid people didn't go into hiding, they would at least go undecover, well, that's if they were in the least bit smart. But I'm sure the majority of them would probably just be incarcerated.Sorry guys, it's just I've been asked to answer 3 stupid questions back to back, and I find it quite offensive actually. Like, do I have a profile that says, 'hey, I answer questions for retards :)' or what, I dunno. Ok maybe I'm taking this a little too personally, but 3 stupid A2A's back to back? Cummon, this just ain't cool.
My boyfriend keeps asking me too many weird questions?
my boyfriend keeps asking strange questions like, when i ask him for a kiss a lot he's like "do you only want to kiss me so much because you feel guilty of something?" or he's like "do you promise me you haven't kissed any other boy?" "are you sure you haven't cheated" "have you been with boys" loads of insecurity questions.. But what i don't understand is that, i haven't cheated on him ever and he's cheated on me but i took him back as it was only just a kiss, but on a break he had sex with another girl and i did nothing (our break was about 2 months) but thats not the point. He's also the first person i've had sex with and he's had sex with others so i feel like he should be trusting me more than i'm getting.. i used to ask questions because he cheated but i hardly ask questions anymore and i get all this! We was having sex and my vagina was a bit sore and he was asking me things like "have you slept with someone else?" i don't understand.. can anyone help?
I've been told I ask too many questions by certain people, is it healthy and smart to ask questions?
My husband and I are both retired. He asks an endless amount of questions daily and it’s extremely annoying. I’ve noticed in my long lived life that there are people who have initiative and those that do not. Some are self directed and some are not. An example: Two different people want a glass of ice water with lemon while visiting a friend who is busy with a project. They ask if the owner of the place wants one too. Neither have been there before. The first person that is not self directed walks into the kitchen and immediately asks what cupboard for the glasses? Then asks if there is water already in the fridge. And while in the fridge asks where are the lemons? The other goes into the kitchen and heads for either cupboard on the side of the sink and looks. They then head to the fridge to get ice and open a couple of bins to find lemons. You hear them rattling around and emerging with same glass of icy lemon water w/o one question. My husband is the first example. “I’ll help,” he says. Then proceeds to asks where, with what, how, and by time I answer I could have the task done. People that are self starters bear the brunt of doing more things when they live with a non starter. Opposites fit but one gets annoyed for being over tasked. I’ve taken to saying, “Go look it up!” And threatening him with “Alexa” from Google. I am going to do that for sanity sake in the near future. TAKE SOME INITIATIVE PEOPLE! It’s good to make mistakes on your own and learn. Asking someone an endless amount of questions that can be easily found out on your own is just lazy.
I feel like slapping everyone in the face. is this normal?
why is everyone so ******* selfish? im just so pissed at everything, everyone, even myself. its like every second of the day im pulling my hair, trying to get frustration out. i tried EVERYTHING. my school life is screwed - i've skipped weeks of it and my grades are terrible, my family is not close knit at all, i have no relationships whatsoever - im like an isolated teenager, i have no love life at all - not that im upset, im young anyway, my parents hardly give a damn, my friends are the fakest people you will ever meet, i can turn to absolutely no one - you can just imagine how alone i am and how sad my life is, im on yahoo answers asking a bunch of strangers what is wrong with me. oh... and i tried asking God for help. didn't work out too well. i mean, i have faith and stuff, but i feel like leaving it to him is like running away from the problems in my life. help?
Why do people ask so many questions about IIT & IITians on Quora?
I guess you're new here. Welcome!!! Here, you'll find idiots who are smarter than smartypants. Few points of introduction.People here are in general smarter. Not because Quora has some sort of IQ test on entry, just because here, many people here are actively busy to kick the bullshit out.Quora is not about any specific topic. It's about what you follow and how much of your time you spend on which topics.You will be more of help if you wrote answers too. Just upvoting them or reading and passing them along with a smirk on your face isn't good enough.I know I'm repeating, but it bears repeatition. If you feel anything is overhyped here, it probably is because you suggested somewhere that you were interested in it.For example, after some use and spending some time with topics such as Robotics, Space exploration, aerospace, military, economics I rarely get any more content from IIT. A while ago, once in a blue moon when I saw a question which was not related to IIT. The misconception was so high that I started to believe that Quora was an IITian startup.Trust me, Quora is very similar to a mirror. Whatever you do, it will reflect back.
Do you think people get tired of answering you?
Two points for me. I think that I have become such a lightening rod that people just don;t want to see my answers, and I get a lot of unwarrented downs. But I enjoy this category a lot and will continue to participate. As to the second part, one reason I have backed off from answering your questions is that (and I know this is going to sound selfish, but it is my take on things) I feel that you will never award me a best answer. I am not saying that every answer I give is truly the best answer always, but I find it odd that it seems that NONE of my answers are ever worthy. You have given me this opportunity and I will avail myself of it, but another question of yours, the anime investment question, I passed on, for no matter how good of an answer I give, someone else gets the prize. Now, I cannot argue with you over selection; that is wholly your choice and you can do as you see fit, but it just seems odd to me that i always come up short in your eyes. See you around
If your boyfriend hardly ever hugs you, it means that........?
Perhaps he has more important things to worry about than girlie little hugs.
