Is it just me? There are some really rude and cruel people?

Yahoo Answers is probably not the place to get in touch with the most caring, understanding and gentle people. It is a site for the young, for the bored, for the oversexed and the insomniacs. \nI try not to be too sarcastic in my answers but I have noticed I do fail - and while I am not proud of this, I also believe the questions are to be blamed sometimes. Quite some of the postings are completely unbelievable. \nI will easily admit that there are a lot of horrible postings in both questions and answers, but that always seems to happen in such online groups. I guess the best way still to deal with it is to ingnore it. What else can you do?

It's no different now than it ever was.  Some people are rude and uncaring.  Some are polite and kind.  You know which people you like best.  Stick with them.

nope.  i dont dislike any specific group of people, to me it all comes down to the individual.  there are jerks in every racial, religious or ethnic group, but a few jerks doesn't make the whole group bad.

this may or may not be true.  Perhaps these rude folk have their questions bounced for rudeness!  who knows! lol\nthe fellow making the comment about questioning the Lord was making a joke.\nChristians ask questions all the time, and learn stuff too.

Because other people were mean to them and they are bitter, or take a sick pleasure in spreading their hurt feelings around to other people.\nDon't let the mean people get you down...there are lots of nice people (like me!) around to make up for them.

I think that the kind of people who are awfully rude and cruel to others are the same kind of people that believe that they are superior, and that their religion (whatever it is) makes them superior.\n\nAvoid them at all costs!

Yes and I have atleast a dozen or so more pet peeves. People are getting ruder, more selfish and sometimes downright mean. Few have manners. It makes me crazy.

I agree that people are really too rude. I deal with the public at work, and people talk to me in ways they would never even talk to their worst enemies. I think a lot of it has to do with stress and frustration -- everyone thinks they're problem is the most important, most pressing in the world. And it is, to them. Just remember that no matter how rude other people are to you, the best thing you can do is dose them with kindness. Smile, speak softly and let them know that no matter what kind of crap they're dealing with, it's really not your fault.

There are a lot of rude people out there.  I don't know if it is just distraction, everyone so busy and rushing and not paying attention.  Or is it just simply lack of being brought up with manners?  I would just ignore it and take the high road by being polite.  If everyone does this, the world will be a better place and maybe it will catch on.  In the end, they are the one that looks bad to anyone observing and you can feel good that you aren't them.

people are rude because they are miserable with they're own life and feel the need to inflict themselves on normally happy individuals in an effort to make them as miserable as they are.
