I appreciate your consideration to others.Usually it happens due to ego, ie to show selfdominating attitude. One will not be ready to set their position below anyone in any field. Another reason for this may be highly active nature of the individual. Certain hormones secreted will keep the indivdual highly active. Itdepends on the individual.

I totally agree with you.\n\n People seem to think it's great fun to call others names and hurl insults just because they are not the same colour, race or sexual orientation as themselves.\n\nThese people are young and ignorant. When they mature, they will realise how stupid they have been.

People insult others for the joy of dominance. People that falsely state that such people are motivated by low self-esteem secretly intend to support that dominance. What better way to perpetuate a problem than to belittle it?

i agree with you. ridicule is embarassing to say the least and very immature.  i prefer that all people extend themselves openly and honestly without causing harm. (verbal or physical)  it's a  very sad world when others feel the need to express anger or hostility. just because someone is different either physically or mentally doesn't change who they are as living, feeling, breathing human-beings. take care out there.

Calling someone names who offends you is just a way of admitting that you are less intelligent then that person.  This seems to be the common attack lately of the intellectually lazy and morally corrupt.  No matter how crackpot their idea, they claim that because it came from them they have some sort of divine right to be correct all the time.  Just ignore them, they will go away when they see something shiny or decide to be offended by the next thing that talk radio tells them to be offended by.

I think it's beacause we're human and we've all made mistakes. So when we see a chance to stop someone else from doing things that we regret doing, it's instinctual to try to alter their path in life as a sort of pennance for not altering our own. It's like getting a second chance to see how things would have turned out for us if we'd made different choices in life. And I think the only time someoone is ready to hear our advice is when they say, "Can I have your advice?"

I think a rude answer, but why waste your energy trying to get back at someone?  Just ignore them and let it go, then you are the better person.

There's this thing that we do that is called "projection". It works like this: whenever there's something about ourselves that we refuse to accept (more often than not our negativity: usually unexamined thoughts, beliefs, behaviors, etc) we "project" them out onto someone else. Conveniently, we let ourselves off the hook by *imagining* that that someone else is guilty of the stuff which we are in fact projecting onto them. In doing this, we not only can feel better about ourselves right away, but we also get to feel self-righteous, not to mention justified in meteing out punishment on others for what we believe is *their* wrong-doing, when it really originated within us.\n\nSo when someone calls themselves a Christian but doesn't behave as one should, all they've done is hang a name on themselves in the hopes that it will make them look good on the surface, yet they are still victims of their own ignorance, caught under the spell of a very popular illusion - the one that makes them believe that they are better and safer than others.

Because we have a lot of people out there who aren't really as mature on the inside as they behave on the outside, and enjoy planting strife or get a laugh at doing or saying something truly rude.\n\nLot of truly deadbeat people out there. Some you can't love, because not everybody really wants to be loved.

None. Even if the people deserve it. If I offend someone I usually end up apologizing to them. What's the point of being just another asshole?

You are absolutely precious.  Insults are not efficient.  On the contrary they create defensiveness, contention, and set up walls that shut down communication so that nothing positive can be taken away by anyone.  Insults are instruments of harm and a most ineffective way of discourse.  Books do not teach tact and grace.  That comes from life (hopefully).  Watch Good Will Hunting.

I think it is because we tend to dwell on the negative comments that are made about us by taking simple statements much too personally.  One of my favorite quotes sums it up best:  "He who angers you controls you".    Sometimes we get so consumed with being angry about an action or a statement made by someone else, that we constantly think about it, we ALLOW it to bother us, and we naturally react in a negative manner.

Gee Came across your question. I would not be one too be Insulting. I have more fun trying to give real answers for the people that ask. So far on cyber space I find you will have a few Idiots that can get your Dander to fly. But after you have I think about it. All it is are words on a screen. The people who do the insults are short lived online they tend to be the Drunk punks that can not be that way in public. Due to their fear of being physically Harmed. Don't give up on the Fun you can have here. I know how to Get under the stupid peoples skin when I feel like having fun.

Because the person who hurt us does it on purpose, or has no idea he caused pain.  Some who hurt don't want to change, and we get frustrated, and hurt turns to anger.

there are some people that love to ridicule others and make fun of them but if they would just look in the mirror they may not like what they see.  Different people need love just as we do and in fact some need more, they are special people with special needs.

Are you serious with this question?  I think there should be a much better use of your time then wondering the best way to insult others.  Try smiling and a positive attitude and then maybe you won't have any use for the insults.  Count to 10 and then count your blessings.  Have a great day!

Dont think about why people are mean to you analyze the things you do that cause that reaction.
