Why are some people here so nasty?

I note some of the answers given to sincere questions at ANSWERS are either rude, nasty, cruel, totally ignorant, or even at times obscene. Is that supposed to be a crude attempt at humor or does hurting others make you proud of yourselves? I seriously doubt that these gross comments are made by Christians.

Update:

**Ahh, Mr. Li, Mr. Li--Ok, maybe I should have said MOST Christians because personally, I don't know any Christians that are all that nasty. On the other hand, You do seem to have a bug you-know-where, or is this just a bad day.** Could it be that you are not Christian?

    there are some who enjoy doing this because they can remain unknown and are just trying their best to draw attention to themselves while not being either willing or able to contribute meaningful answers.

    come over to marriage and divorce.. Weddings.. Singles and dating.. A LOT of those questions border on insane! Mostly from one particular area of world.. Usualy 7am their local time starts. And around 7pm their time 10 hours ahead of CST US time. Wanting "predictions"of future marriage.. Weird caste society questions.. Arranged marriage.. How often to beat wife.. Marry a 12 year old niece! How to get wife in America/brittan/canada/other countries to get visa to get rest of worthless family INCLUDING INDIAN WIFE AND KIDS to new country!! These and a LOT MORE sick degrading questions comming from there every day! I try and answer questions that i can.. Ignore those that no information about.. Unfortunatly.. I KNOW these scams because of a lot of past experence from over there.. They HATE IT when you reply with exactly what there sceem is and quote the laws that are in place to prevent it! Some may sound sarchastic answers.. But when it comes to somebody asking others how to fraud their way into America.. !!!

    And telling someone who offends you that you doubt they are Christian is nice, right?

    We are predators. When we are not face-to-face with someone it is easy to be nasty, believe me.

    It is harder to knife someone than to shoot them, harder to shoot someone than to bomb them from 15,000 ft and harder to bomb them than to launch a preemptive nuclear missle attack. We are a pack animals and a lot of our compassion comes from seeing someone else's expressions of hurt and pain. We are ignorant, rude, selfish and nasty. And you missed the most important one: angry.
