Personalize Yedda, (And make Danny Happy)
People ask & answer about almost everything. Tell us what you're interested in... So we can personalize Yedda especially for you
I'm interested in:

Home improvement projects, "Get'er done."

Verbal attacks

Why is it so difficult for a group of seemingly intelligent people to come together and discuss things without verbally bashing each other? Why do people insist on trying to make others feel small and insignificant?

Sometimes I think it is because we are socialized to act that way.  This is the way conflicts are resolved on daytime television shows, like Springer and others.  Instead of rational calm discussion, all conflicts escalate into name-calling and then fisticuffs.  This is the way children act, and I guess that a lot of people don't grow beyond that.

I once a posted a slightly different question and you may be interested in reading the discussion there.

A penny saved  is a penny earned

my personal opinion is ( i will probalay get bash for this comment--if not it will be the spelling )  but     it seems like some people think they have all the right answer and dont want anyone else's opinion, or think they are right about everything.   like   what came first the chicken or the egg.

their are alot of smart people that give opinions that know what they are talking about but others that dont know and they will bash the ones that do know.  they need to ask opinion sometimes themselves..never know...they might learn something.  i am not attacking anyone in particular

just giving a opionion....

God bless  and still think i am cool even tho others dont   ha  ha  lol

It seems that people are ruder than ever these days.  Biting off people’s fingers and all.  It seems to me that “political entertainment” shows have a lot to answer for here.  They seem to either inflame people’s fear and or belittle with rather rude humor.  People seem to soak it all in and just repeat it as if they where the performers they see on TV.  We could all use more examples of people showing respect towards each other.  This battling back and forth like children isn’t going to get us what we want in life.

Turn off the television and teach your children how to think.

*I do not read or write anything in the "Comments" section.*

 

The kind of behavior you describe is why there's that old saying:

"Never discuss sex, politics or religion in polite company."

Then again, with the kind of behavior you describe, it's quite clear the company is not polite, isn't it.

Time flies like an arrow.

Fruit flies like a banana.

I have generally been trying to give answers instead of just bashing, although sometimes I do both.  

I get a few responses, some bashes, but mainly I am ignored.  

Many posts do not aim at talking to the person they are answering, but rather talking at or abusing or dismissing the person in a clever or nasty way for the benefit of an audience who share the poster's opinion.  This is not debating or discussing, but rather putting on a performance or show that pretends to discuss.  It is much more like advertising or a game of 'yur mutha' than it is like inquiry.

A discussion of health care should read like a discussion of buying a new car or a new house or planning a vacation.
