It´s just a matter of control.\n\nIf you´re stuppid enough, you´ll be afraid enough to listen 1000 times the same lie until it becomes thruth.

I have a better question.....why are you worried by this?

people are scared of that they do not understand\n\nThey would rather someone tell them what they want to hear instead of learning the truth and be shown they are wrong

You shouldn't be scared... although it's no small matter. Just try to live your life to it's fullest, and make sure you tell loved ones what they mean to you.\ntruthfully, probably everyone has a mental disorder, diagnosed or not. we're in a pretty screwed up world, and we're pretty screwed up people.

Man you are coming with some good questions!! People that keep their minds in little small boxes are scared to see the big truth. They are comfortable in their little box, full of narrow mindness and ignoarance. You are absolutely right my freind, when you tell people something that goes against what they have learned or even better, things that they don't know, they get so offended and take it personal!! How can people love to be in denial!??! Doesn't it remind you of the narrowed minded people that were told that the Earth was round and the public killed them!?!?

I think that it scares them. It is terrifying, sometimes, to know that God holds societies accountable for their behaviors.

When you want to use proper English, you use "afraid". "Scared" is really shading toward slang.

This is truly a question that has way to long of an answer to be on Yahoo...\n\nLet's just say that people do not want to stop being here, and are afraid to find out what's after here...

People tend to fear what they don't understand. Personally, I believe it is fear that is manifesting itself rather than hate.\n\nThat doesn't justify their actions which are often times displayed by hateful acts. Most have never seen our benevolent side. \n\nWith the onslaught of natural disasters, many of these people have witnessed first hand how quickly we, as a nation, have responded to their peril. \n\nI have read accounts of how these people were absolutely shocked that we would respond faster and with more resouces than their own government. They had previously thought we were a selfish nation... taking things that don't belong to us... forcing other to conform to our vision for their lives... They fear that they might become our next victim.\n\nThe answer is not Iraq as suggested above. There are way too many people here on Yahoo answers that want to be the first to answer a question and give no regard to it's accuracy. Their misinformation is a blithe on an otherwise great site. You deserve an answer not an opinion that isn't even backed up with the flemsiest of evidence. \n\nPardon my distain. Back to the topic...\n\nYour anticipated response would be, what can we do about it? How do we let them know that we want them to be happy, prosperous and free to enjoy life under their own terms? Well, there's not much an individual can accomplish on an international scale. \n\nTrue, there are some amazing people that have a calling it would appear and these people have proven how much good or bad one person can accomplish internationally. As for you and me, we need to take the time to examine our leaders. We need to look beyond party lines and select officials that represent our country for what it really is. A melting pot of ideas and people. A place where their way of life is acceptable as long as it doesn't infringe on another person's way of life. A nation that loves it's soldiers and can hardly bear the thought of placing them in harms way. And if we do send them into battle, there is no reasonable doubt that they are dying for a worthy cause. A cause that is international in scope rather than that of the privileged few that seem to have far too much control.\n\nWe must calm their fears.

I try and live my life in such a way that I can say that.  Don't a lot of people? As a parent I try and ask myself those kinds of questions frequently to make sure I am teaching what I want to teach to my child.  Over the years I have found it's better for my own mental health to give up the things I had to lie about.  My husband does say I am fearless - it's just that I don't see the point in using up my energy being scared.

((Grandpaw  Aaron will answer this one, OK))\n\nLittle girl, In my day, we kids had to walk 12 miles through the snow, 8 feet deep, to go to school, even in da summer.  \nThere, we might find only one other person whom we thought was as smart as us. Usually, tho, we wuz taught to fear everone.\n\nToday, whatwith this Internetie thang, ya get more answers, and mabbe some smart answers at thet; but, are you better off?  \nI SAY NO, you don't know anything about me, or the other people what answers yer questions here, mabbe they make up stuff, and you'd believe it.  \n\nBetter off, if you go off and throwed yer dern cumputer into the trash, and read books.  \n\nThe world is too big, too scary for you, best to stay inside, best for you to jest cover up yer head wid yer covers, and pray its all over soon.

Ask why they scared, they may just be shy

I think that is according to the Aztec calendar. I used to be scared of this but now I'm not. I think the reason I'm not scared anymore is because I know there is something after this for me. The fear of being killed or hurt doesn't scare me anymore because it would be fleeting, so quick. Think of how fast your life has been so far. Can you really remember the exact feeling of any pain you suffered in any injury you might have had in the past? I have had two children and I don't remember the pain like it was then. I know you are probably afraid but try and think of what your next adventure will be and how exciting it will be for you after this plane. Kind of like going on a vacation.

A truly good question... maybe it frightens them?

The world used to be a much scarier place. People needed something to give meaning to the kinds of suffering they saw all around them. \n\nFor example, one to two thirds of Europe was killed by the plague. Entire villages died awful, painful deaths. It's much easier for survivors to deal with that if they can say, "Well, they're all in a better place, and it happened for a reason."
