I can agree with you about people in the real world, but on-line I can't but agree with you.\n\nAnonymity gives some emotionally immature and weak people bravado.

Yes there are some extremlly rude whop heads here. If they don't like what they read they need to go do something else instead of being hateful and rude.

some of these people are just rude, immature and way too bored to be of any use to the contributors in society.  i guess it's easy to be brave and snotty when you don't have to look anyone in the eye!!

Not to be down right rude but I think much of society today is ignorant.  Many people I know and work with have such an apathetic attitude and are unaware of anything going on in the world.  I feel I cannot have an intelligent conversation with a lot of people.

People are rude for different reasons. Some are just having a bad day, some are just uncultured. Its better not to let them get to you, and just ignore them

people are not assertive enough, a lot of people consider assertiveness the same as being aggressive or being mean so they would just rather be walked all over

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.

because people post the same questions over and over with terrible grammar, while the rest of us try to make serious questions.\n\n"Why do people"\n\n\nThis question has been posted many times, use the search feature.\n\n"why people so rude"\n"why people so mean"

Probably because there are some ignorant people out there.  There are some people who genuinely come to "Y Answers", looking for serious answers.  While others view it as an opportunity to ask irrelevant or sometimes disgusting questions.  Therefore, when you have a good number of people being silly and derogatory in their questions, you'll get silly and derogatory responses, and at times those people will spill over onto questions that are quite sincere.  I'm not trying to excuse anyone's behavior. I'm just thinking maybe that's the reason why so many people act so immature on here.  I must admit, though, that it doesn't bother me as much anymore because there are 10 responsible, fun and respectful people for every one of those ignorant ones.

Many people are rude to cover up their own insecurity and lack of knowledge of the outside world. They feel that by being mean, they can balance the inequality to their side of the equation. Still, a wise person knows that there is no merit in arguing with a fool. A stupid person doesn't know when they have been beaten and are embarrasing themselves. The pursuit of knowledge and understanding is an ongoing process, and seeing things and exploring the world are fundamental to extending your grasp of knowledge.

BECAUSE YOU'RE TOO SENSITIVE.  NOW SHUT UP!\n\n\nhehe, just kidding.  I dunno why people are mean.  Who's mean?  On here?  They're bored and looking for a rise probably.
