why are there people in this world that don't like people asking questions?

Usually for two reasons: they don't want to share the answer, or they don't know the answer.\n\nThe first reason is because they either want to keep the advantage of knowing the answer, or they want to preserve their privacy if it is a personal question.\n\nThe second reason is because they believe that they should know the answer.  They feel that not knowing means they are stupid, when in fact it is simply something they just didn't know yet.\n\nThere is a third reason.  They have been answering questions all day, and now they want a break.

Usually reflects on them but sometimes the questions really are dumb and then it reflects on both parties. It's still tiresome and annoying to hear rude and mean answers regardless of how dumb the question is. It also seems like a lot of people forget that their are people on YA that are immersed in different cultures and have an entirely different value system. When people don't realize this or just don't care and put the questioners down that really, really, ticks me off. I wish people showed off their good/tolerant/intelligent nature more often. I know they must have one!

Yes. that might be true. Some people are too serious to answer those funny questions and they must be those that either get offended or something else they dont like or it could be because as you said because theyre not humourous.

because there are those who feel that by answering a question with a smart rude remark that they will prove some point. Normally they are trying to show off in front of other's and cannot gain attention so they use this format where they can be heard and not ignored as they normally are in public.

Because people ask impotent questions instead of mounting relevant protests.

There are a couple different reasons for this one is, some people don't know how to express their feelings and they just want to fore get about their problems so, when you ask they explode. Perhaps it is a sensitive issue, and they can't talk about it because they feel stupid and that no one will understand. Also Some people, which would be in most cases, like attention and to make themselves noticed at every moment so they make a big deal of nothing to get recognized. Just try to ignore them it is hard but you have to try. These are the main reasons for people bursting out when you simple ask them something.

Because putting people down makes them feel Superior.\nThese cynical little rodents,scurry through the questions,looking for their next victim to target and ridicule,because they don't have the capacity to relate any other way.

It could be for a lot of reasons.  Rude or sarcastic people are everywhere.  Also some questions may appear offensive or attacking to others so they tend to answer back in the way they felt we are asked.  Since we are on the net posting and answering, whether or not the question is serious, we are bound to get all sorts of remarks.  Maybe in most cases it's not so much they felt you or someone else knew them...People may feel that they can be more rude on line because someone does not know them and they can be as much of a @# as they want without having to suffer any consequences such as a fight.

They probably do not want too many questions and answers in their system, as it may slow it down. Also, they don't want people making many pointless questions or answers.

There are  people on here who are not really looking for answers. They are looking for other opinions on a topic.\n\nThen there are those who want to make people mad. Generally along a political or religious line.\n\nThen there are kids who are looking for a easy answer to homework questions.\n\nThen there are those who are really looking for an answer. The bad news is they don't really know if the person who gives the answer knows a damn thing. The good news is they will get a variety of answers and they don't have to use any particular one.

Well i can tell you that people have no answers and there hoping you can help them with the question and get an answer i mean some people don't even know that there putting up stupid questions or they are trying to be perfect.I mean people might think that the question your asking is stupid (not saying that this question is)\nPeople just wanna have fun asking these questions and just play around.Some people just wanna be pefect.And some people really need help cause their stuck and they have no one too ask that they come to you and ask you cause they think you can help and they can trust some of you.Also to the asker the question is important to them and they really want an answer.And people say yourquestion is a stupid question don't listen too them it's not stupid it's a good piont

Well, I don't know why, but they shouldn't. Just because people are curious doesn't mean we should make fun of them. I HATE people who do that. So what if the question is weird? Keep it to yourself.

I'm afraid a lot of people just want to answer silly questions with a single word answer (yes or no) - They get their buz from getting loads of points not from helping people! Sorry rant over!!

People ask in forums like this for 2 reasons \n1. Because they are unsure of there own beliefs and want someone else to clear up there doubts\n2. Because they don't want to be looked down upon for asking and then confirming there doubts when they know they should have no doubts to begin with

I think most people ask questions with a sincere desire to find answers to their unresolved problems.  Some ask to be reassured, some to ridicule and some have a preconceived viewpoint and want to be vindicated.  Those people do not consider another point of view and are rather insulting to those who have a different belief.

I agree with you 100%!  The truth is, those people are not looking for answers they are looking for someone to agree with them and to hell with everyone else.  Lame!

Like this one? This question has been asked over and over and over and over and over and over and over (get my drift?) again! Oh, and by the way, people don't "give" questions, they "ask" questions. \n\n@--->---
