I just stay away from people who need to argue about something. I like to have a discussion. not an argument. Arguments are about winning. discussions are about learning.
Oh, please. You're just too busy and you have a life, or you'd be arguing like the rest of us.
Nah it's not like that at all honestly. I would start to comment in all of those threads until they became arguments.
That's not some magical wisdom out of nowhere. It was a lesson hard learned HERE. I used to argue sooooooooo much. Especially in the Do angels exist thread. Then I realized there was really no point in it so now I only talk to the people who aren't out to prove a point. I have no need to really PROVE anything to anyone ya know?

No one does. I don't think what just happened was anyone trying to prove anything though. It was more some people felt offended and attacked and said something and the other party stated they didn't mean it that way and tried to explain their actions.
I guess you're sort of trying to prove you weren't meaning to be offensive in that situation but I wouldn't say it's one of those, "Angels exist because of X." "No angels don't exist because of Y." situations.
Right, I was just using that as an example. Since then I've learned a lot about the users and there are some I will share my opinions with on "hot" topics and some I will not. Instead of getting into it with someone who I know is going to start an argument I just stick to the folks I know can be mature or light hearted about any of those subjects that might make some people angry.

That's a very good policy. I could have kept going for pages but I decided it ultimately wasn't worth it, in the end no one would have come out thinking any different.

Ugh, you are so easily trolled. Those kinds of things happen rarely. Not necessarily molestations, but kids not realizing it was molestation/abuse is rare. On top of that, Yahoo Answers is a huge place for trolls and silly questions, either to trick people or receive funny answers. Also, take note of the author's response to the best answer. That is not a typical response.

Hence, why I don't talk politics on there anymore.
So hard to talk politics, hardly anyone gives a shit anymore. Everybody assumes that you have to be pessimistic to sound intelligent nowadays, I'm sick of it.

It's so rare that they spend so much time with all this sex ed about bad touch good touch... um, sure. Kids are clueless. That situation is not unrealistic at all. Add some "adults are always right" into the mix...
Something being rare doesn't make a particular case false. Just means you don't know.

I also know quite a few people who take Yahoo Answers seriously... and I have found some very good answers on there, as well. They vary in quality, and the rating system is often pretty helpful.

You seemed to ignore my strongest argument.
Well I was not molested as a kid so I do not know first hand, although I do know the whole shenanigans about someone molesting a kid and telling them not to tell anyone... but the fact is, they probably know something is wrong with it or at least has a slight suspicion, and are too scared to tell anyone. In this Yahoo case, it is very straight up told.
Look at his display picture. It has "I am a troll all over it". Also, he looks back at elementary school, implying he is no longer in it. If he is in middle or high school, he DEFINITELY would know. At that point there has been sex ED, as well.

Gotta love the Report Abuse button, too.
Ahah, report abuse... that is great.
Am I going to Hell?
