I am curious as to WHY.....?
people on the computer are so mean and angry?
You post a simple question....... maybe you misspell a word or post to the wrong category..... or maybe you were tired and the question is sort of stupid and self explanatory.....People on here are vicious .....They call you all sorts of names.....!@#$#%$%^^&*(()...... Why all the anger and ugliness?....
Sometimes they will answer the question and then gratuitously add ...." !##$%^#@@&* F**KING IDIOT".....WHY?..... Is your life so miserable we have to attack other people in order to feel good or powerful....
And what ever happened to the English language.....are we so limited on time we can not spell out "you are" and have replaced it with U R.....we don't even have time to be mean in complete English we must do it in "shorthand"
And finally..... When someone comes on the board and they obviously speak another language other than English..... and they make some grammar or syntax error..... people on here attack them as "stupid".....when actually they are often more intelligent than the person who is attacking them....they at least usually are functioning in more than just one language......
I do not agree with "Lind" very often....but she posts in English when her language is Farsi..... I hate to think how messed up the board would be if ANY of her critics tried to post questions in her language....
Why don't we have some compassion.....some understanding..... give intelligent advice and be supportive of others rather than vomiting all this anger and ugliness......

It's because the screen in front of their face and the internet it is connected to gives the fascade of being anonymous. People think, act, and behave much differently when they think no one is looking. This is what the internet does. They feel empowered by it because they can't actually be that way in real life.
For instance, many guys would never ever talk to another guy they don't know the way they talk on here because they would get their azz handed to them plain and simple and they know it.
Same thing for women, studies have shown that women will generally be prone to much more aggresion if the immediate threat to their bodily harm is diminished. That's why you see a lot of women talk crap with their man present because they think or know their man is going to protect them...so much for equality huh?
Nonetheless, we shouldn't take things too personal on here. I give as much credence to pricks and a--holes as I do to schitzo's....none. Real bad azzes and real intellectuals don't have to prove to everyone how bad azz and intellectual they are.

I'm glad,you really ask a question?
do you know what is Advantage for Farsi? as a expert you can talk by changing grammer and Pronunciation and have a specific sweet subset of Farsi for yourself.

As Mr.Spock once said: "it was easier for you, as civilized men, to behave as barbarians, then it was for them, as barbarians, to behave as civilized men."
Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying some of the folks on here are barbarians, for some weird reason or other, its just easier for some to behave that way

Yahoo answers is a tough neighborhood. Many other places are friendlier.
