I asked this innocent question http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/1536744 and within minutes I got called an 'asshole' and a 'bitch' by 2 different people. Why?

Because Americans are such loving, caring people.

Hugs Emma, You's an OK chick. http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/1536744 I don't condone communism but I don't condemn those that practice it. It's a free country and all the more power to you if that's how you believe. I guess I'm mostly an organized anarchist at best since I dislike political parties because they are all inherently evil.

We Americans can be pretty confrontational.

Howdy Emma! Political questions are a powder keg and some ABers just enjoy taunting people that don't believe what they believe even if they are really quite nice outside that particular topic.

I would disagree that it's an innocent question. It's calling out a user by name. There can't be a positive side to this. It's intended to cast a negative light on the user mentioned. I don't support calling out users by name. If you have a personal conflict with someone you should either take it off the board, or keep it contained within the CT where it has occurred. This type of question only fosters a hostile environment on AB.

haha, welcome to American culture! Where you get called names and laughed at for disagreeing, thinking, agreeing, or even just being alive in general! You'll find that when critical people are given freedom, they'll use it. I know, there's no sense in being so critical all the time like that, but there's always idiots out there...
