    Just remember that you may be on here laughing and having fun while someone else may be on the verge of suicide, or with some heavy emotional turmoil. If they take a question in the wrong context then it is understandable. It just depends on the mindset at the time of reading the question. Same goes for someone mistaking a serious question as a joke.

    If we spent every second of our day thinking of that, remembered every little political correct way we'd have to word things in case we hurt someone's feelings, we'd never get anything done. Please don't mistake me for having a go at you or anything, i'm really not :) I'm just saying that if whenever we said something or voiced our opinion or asked a question, we had to tiptoe around the people who might have SOME sort of issue surrounding it, we'd never be able to say anything at all.

    It really takes no extra effort to be considerate, it just seems to be a lost art. If the way that I answer a question is taken as offensive then I will apologize, and hope that the person I have offended will accept it.

    Well this is what I think. People come to a site like this for discussions. Its a way to get involved, a way to learn a way to debate and a means of entertainment. Its a way of exercising your brain to read a question and then react to it in some way. And sometimes... people just like to get into a question and explore it in some way for entertainment sake. and sometimes people might be in a moody type of mood and might get a little carried away.... get a little overly emotional. but that is not so bad. When you think about it. If you are ever going to get a little overly emotional...(not to encourage the behavior) but you might as well do it on the internet. Because on the internet its a bit safer then to do it when you are standing face to face with somebody in your real life. Right. ha ha

    I mean if you say something a bit off on the internet... you might get a few backlash posts. but you can live with that easy enough. Just click away and not so bad on the damage end. But in real life if you get a bit out of line with your mouth you might wind up with a punch to the face or you might lose a real life friend or get suspended or lose a job over it. ha ha OUCH
    so i guess the internet is a place where people feel like hey can say a few things and vent a little bit and the possible immediate damage is minimal.

    thats my take on that.
    Now Screw you ALL!!! > "Just Joking" on the screw you all part !!! ha ha
    LOL

    Have a good day folks. Dont take weird posts buy upset people or immature people too seriously. And realize people can sometimes just have a bad day
    and need to vent a little bit.

    Because they can't always tell that it's meant to be silly. Different perspectives.
