Is it easier for people to give a rude answer rather than not give one at all?

I have noticed that so many people answer some simple yes or no questions with mean answers. I know that there are some pretty stupid questions on here, but gosh if they are that dumb just ignore them.

    It depends on the question. Some people are asking to get mean responses...I killed and BarBqued my cat...you'll get 45 peta type responses about how they would call the law on you, blah blah. True question askers that ask good solid questions do get some ignorant responses. I hate it when the askers misspell words and get verbal assaults thrown at them. I think some people don't realize that people from all over the world are using this site/feature, whatever it is called. I answer when I need to. Sometimes I'll verbally lash someone for being an idiot, but I pick my fights and don't search for them. I'm sure you will get some stupid answers for asking about it too?

    If a person post a reasonable question on the forum that requires a genuine answer, people will answer in the same in the same fashion. But when they put a question here so that they can see their name as an asker and it is a stupid question they get what they deserve.

    I see the same type of question time and time again, this is just being lazy there is a search facility on this forum look it up, and the other thing is the people who answer in any fashion take their 2 points and leave.

    you may backpack by potential of parts of Europe. i might want to point getting a practice fee tag thats solid for a month and getting reservations for any in one day practice rides. also, you'll continuously look as if a vacationer once you've your backpack on, so do not get stuck on my own in a shady area or a dismal alley. There are kids hostels all by potential of out Europe and they are the most inexpensive position to stay in one day at in Europe. motels are a touch more desirable extreme priced yet to boot an option. back, I advise getting reservations earlier showing up at a hostel or lodge because they're going to deliver you away in the journey that they are finished. an additional desirable tip: They farther into eastern Europe you shuttle the more desirable risky it receives. Russia to illustrate has a mafia that controlls the police everywhere except Moscow and St. Petersburg. persist with Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, Spain, France, Holland, Greece, Portugal, Belgium, Luxemburg, Lichtenstien, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, and the different Western eu international places I forgot.

    Well the people who respond rudely and there seem to be plenty of them here on yahoo answers and in the world in general are people who are truly miserable people,they are unhappy and need to bring others down or try to feel better about themselves for a few seconds.

    It is sad indeed but as long as people refuse to do anything differently other than wallow in their own miserable world filled with self pity and self loathing that is all they will ever do.

    For me its wayy easier to answer with a rude answer. I mean when you hear the SAME question over and over again by different people or even by the same person it gets annoying. I mean you can only answer nicely so many times before it starts to get obnoxious.

    For some with temper problems, yes. When it's funny I don't mind, but it usually just disrupts my temper, leaving me tempted to do the same thing. So... The easiest thing would be if nobody did it, but continuing the circle's easier than convincing people not to give rude answers themselves.

    People are irritated with their sessile, non-evolving lives and they need to balance out the universe by spreading their emptiness like chlamydia. That's why people abuse their waiters/servers at restaurants. They know that the server can't return ignorance, so they abuse their momentary position of power. Cops are these same people except for organized junkies.

    i am an very blunt and honest person ...... so i kinda say whatever comes to mind. if u cant handle the truth then sorry for ya. i speak the truth, its easier that way. no lies no bs. sometimes it may not be nice, but the truth isnt always. and you know the saying "if you cant say anything nice, dont say anything at all" well my saying is "if you cant say something nice, at least be amusing...hate it or love it"

    actuall, some people probably do it for the points or for wickedness. and if you'rebored, and you don't know the answer to any of the questions, then you're obviously not going to come on-line and do nothing, so they waste other people's time.
