Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: because they don't like the answers the question implies.

not me sorry

bcos answers r not questions

Just the way the world is - everyone is so unsure of themselves and their own opinions that they just come across as defensive.

Can't say anything without someone taking offence...

Because they're silly.I'm not offended by any of them..A question is a question.A answer is just something that comes along with that question..I would be more offended by the answer than the question.

Because when you question someone you are showing a different opinion then theirs. A lot of people like to get confrontational when someone disagrees with them. It's almost like they think their way or no way.

Good point, I feel oddly offended by this question, anyone know why, O my god i just asked another question that's going to offend someone, its the curse of the question monster ??????

They haven't mature yet, possibly never will, when we care more if they are offended than becoming an adult.

If I find a question offensive in itself I don't answer it.....sire.

People are afraid of our world and existence being questioned. Most of the questions you are probably thinking about are religious/philosophical questions. If you ask a strict Christian, If God is real why is he doing nothing? They will be more offended by that than if you said God is not real, i can tell you this by showing you he does nothing.
You are questioning there way of thinking and how they think rather than making a statement that you think is true. If i said to you, You are a stupid person, you could shake that off. If i said, Why are you such a stupid person? (i personally) would like to start an argument with that person. It can justfeel more insulting.

Argument tip: Always ask people about what you are fighting about :)

Those who can't answer realise their inadequecies.

Because everyone always assumes things before they get in an answer. They are afraid of the reactions of those around them.

Because all the questions we have to read, and some of them just take a toll on us. The
answers, we read just one: Ours.

cause they never came up with that question, and the question that is asked, it really hit the nerve of being that person they are refering to.
