Well, WE can start by looking at ourselves first... give that a shot and let us know how it works out for you.

If that doesn't work here is a simple thing you can do.....Stop telling people they are NOT HELPFUL! .

Answer from ***caseycat***, MorningDew, GoldieOverandOut, *Carla*inAVmourning and Maximum20Characters:Stop telling people they are NOT HELPFUL! Are you seeing a trend here? Anything at all?

Yes. Words hurt people because people have emotions/feelings/ego. We are more sensitive to people's feelings when we think about how something we might say to someone might affect us if someone were to say it to us.

Stop telling people they are unhelpful if you don't agree with their answer might help.

Well of course words can hurt peoples feelings! That old rhyme of sticks and stones and words can never hurt me is false. To be more sensitive to another's feelings try and think before you say things.

Put yourself in the other's shoes and imagine how you would feel if those words were used towards you.

This is a real kindergarten type question but i've always thought that the sooner I deal with vindictive people now the more prepared I will be for when the next bully comes along and if they are more belligerent than the last one. I don't believe we can be mollycoddled our entire lives that just makes the fall harder when someone does end up hurting you which is reality. As far as I know only a sliver of the human population has avoided this and they were born into royalty or trust fund babies.

It's the type of question a 3 year old could answer. I don't think AV allows them to use this service so i'll plead the 5th on this one.

I have seen cases in which you responded "unhelpful" to someone who had been rude and abusive in the way he or she answered. I figured they deserved it, but I was surprised that you told him how you voted. I see a lot of unhelpful votes, but I haven't seen anyone else announce that is how they voted.

I've seen some cases where you said "unhelpful" to people who were just trying to give a good answer.

Heart rates slowed more in people who were surprised because they’d expected that the other person seeing their photo would like them. “Unexpected social rejection could literally feel ‘heartbreaking,’ as reflected by a transient slowing of a heart rate,” the researchers write. Previous research has shown that the brain processes social and physical pain in the same regions, and researchers wanted to find out if social pain caused physical reactions.

And it did. “Our results reveal that the processing of unexpected social rejection is associated with a sizable response of the parasympathetic nervous system,” the researchers write. As background, they note that people are strongly motivated to gain social acceptance, and thus are highly sensitive to rejection.

Social rejection, they say, has been implicated in a variety of psychological disorders. “We found that the cardiac response to unexpected social rejection was considerably larger than heart rate changes associated with expected social rejection,” the researchers write. From an evolutionary perspective, the findings support the notion that humans are strongly motivated to feel they are liked or that they belong, the researchers say.

The study is published in Psychological Science, a journal of the Association for Psychological Science.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
