Why must people be so cruel?

America is the most beautiful country i think, in the world. Good government, good land, good structure. But unfortunately most of the people i don't like. No-one friendly, bush-haters, Jesus-haters, and a million more. Nobody will say "hi" or wave any more. They make fun of people they don't like and envy. People get so offended, no more holidays on calenders, "my holiday is not on there." etc. i have seen so many smart-Alick answers on here. nobody will be NICE anymore. It bothers me. and not to mention the cussing. I am equally disappointed.

The depths of human depravity shock me way more because I expect people to be kind and caring towards one another.  It shocks me how people can be any other way.

Because theyre uncomfortable with themselves deep down and make up for it by hurting other people and being mean. Its really stupid, but they dont realize it alot of the time.\n\n\n\nPeace

Rudeness sometimes is born from feelings of powerlessness and inadequacy.  Experiencing and displaying anger gets you closer to feeling in control.  People who are rude are usually hurting from something.  Many people are rude to others because they hate themselves.  They're convinced that everyone will see their flaws and reject them.  Quite often they treat strangers badly to punish them in advance of the inevitable rejection.  Very sad when you really think about it...

Find another, you'll find one that likes you for the person that you are, people can be so cruel.

Rudeness is in the eye of the beholder.  I don't think everyone who is rude, intends to be rude.  It depends on how sensitive the affected is.

It's because they were told as children they'd be eternally tortured if they dare think a different way. It's abuse and mind control at its finest.

Personally I think we should treat those cruel to animals the same.  If they beat an animal...they should be beaten.  Starved, maimed...all the same.  Humans are supposed to have a higher intellect.  Well, I sure havn't noticed it.  I view cruelty to animals as some impotent man trying to get his jollies somewhere else...

Some can be extremely sensitive and try to inflict their pain on other people.Some might have been mistreated,but that is no excuse  for some of their ways.There is someone I know of who goes around and tell people they are going to hell,calling them names,and demanding how they should behave.I don't feel sorry for these type of people.\n\nI used to stay in a rooming house when I was a 18.There was a mean bitter lady named Elaine.She said the most cruel things to me.I responded by saying"You're just mad because I have a girlfriend while you're sitting in your house deteriorating.No man will ever want you.You have no breast,you're ugly,you have no teeth and you have one leg.What man in their right mind would want you".She was shocked that I said that,but she got just what she deserved.After I said that,I went about my business while she sat there all alone deteriorating.I had no regrets about what I said.If you judge someone,you better be ready to be judged.\n\nSome cope with their pain by believing in heaven.People like Elaine will not go to heaven if they continue to act this way.

People can hurt the ones they love. It's often easier than hurting complete strangers.

I do not know why. Human beings can be very cruel creatures sometimes. It is not a joke it is a very serious matter. It can lead to many health problems. I used to be overweight and it was not funny when people would make remarks behind my back. It hurt a lot. just becasue they are bigger than you does not make them something other than another person.

When you say, "mean for no reason," I assume you mean without provocation from their victims.  I think the bottom line is because they never learned to respect other people.  Beyond that, there are countless specific reasons. Some could have a mental illness, others may have been taught to be cruel, either by example or through a cult or religion (Hitler, Pol Pot, Torquemada), and even others could do it out of fear, thinking that if they victimize, they won't be victimized themselves.  But as I said, the bottom line is that they never learned the golden rule, which is to treat others as you wish to be treated.  People are naturally selfish and have to be shown early in life the value of empathy and compassion.  And if you don't know that, you haven't spent much time around babies.  :)

Evildoesrs gain attention and respect.  That is all they want.  They are blind to the pain and misery they cause.  That is why we people who are on the side of good must never let down our guard, and must be ruthless with transgressors.\nA lesson learned the hard way is a lesson that stays with you for the rest of your life.

Some people just don't feel good about themselves unless they try and make someone else feel worse. Screw em I say Karma's a bitch

People are people. Sometimes that means they need to convince themselves there's a reason they were lucky, or that they had some sort of aid to keep them going, or even that all the terrible things that happened in the 'hard times' happened for a reason ("they must have, the world couldn't be that cruel"). People have been using gods or stories about them to explain everything from the weather to lines of succession probably since before recorded history, it's not really surprising some people still need this sort of reinforcement now.
