Skeletons are sometimes annoying when they shoot you off a cliff or something, but it's relatively simple to just have your back to a wall so it can't shoot you off. I like skeletons somewhat, just more bone meal for me.

Yeah that's a solid cause for rage-quit, ;). But, you shouldn't have given that skeleton such an excellent opportunity to eject you from the hard-core world, :).
Newton's Law, my friend. Getting shot by a bazooka would not send them three feet backwards, as the energy required to send someone backwards three feet would also be transferred to you. It's kind of like those movies where someone is shot and they fly through a window. Entertaining, but not logical.
Anyways, skeletons are target practice. I still haven't gotten the sniper duel achievement even though I'm sure I've hit skeletons from way more than 50 meters away...
Okay. Then how 'bout lettin' me shoot you with a bazooka, and let's see what happens. I do know that I would go flying backwards, too, but I'm pretty sure you would, too because of the explosion...
This is the pillar I fell from. It's only so tall in the pic because I was trying to take a screenshot for the seed, Just under the hole is 2 ravines stacked on top of eachother. I thought i was safe! ARG! seriously that was the worst death I have ever had in minecraft.
But there is a good side to it, the seed! I made a post to share the seed with you guys, I died going back down the pillar to take a screenshot for it. LOL So yeah, check out this seed! it is an extreme hills/mushroom biome seed.

The projectile wouldn't knock you three feet backwards, but the released energy from the explosion would.
OT: I don't mind skeletons because their shots are weak and I usually see them before they see me

Nearly fell out of my chair laughing at you two! Are both of you completely unaware of the fact that a "bazooka" is a recoilless weapon? lol
i hate skeletons with all my being,but mojang balanced that well by giving them really useful drops,so i can learn to live with them
True. i used to hate them for being such aimbots. i can take any other mob unscathed, but the skelles always had the first word... and sometimes the last
AND WHY ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT BAZOOKAS!?!?
bazookas? bazookies? in any case a bazooka and a bow and arrow are completely different. an arrow, pretty much the only recoil is how the body reacts to being invaded by a sharp pointy object.
Storytime: I was being stupid so I decided not to drop off my stuff at home when I when mining, there is this chasm with just lava pouring down the side. I was on my way to find gold for stuff like powered rails. A skeleton came out of nowhere, "This is okay" I thought, "I can handle just one skeleton" I go down the different route to avoid the skeleton all together and what do I see? Two skeletons and a creeper, I start to back away, but there is nothing but chasm of lava behind me. So I died, with all my diamonds, diamond tools and armor, and basically everything. This could've been easy prevented if I just left my stuff at home, and now I am slamming my head against a wall in anger because I didn't.
I think endermen are actually pretty easy, just build a roof that is two blocks high and no walls. Get the enderman aggroed on you and run under the shack. The enderman can't hit you but you can hit it.
Minecraft [Alpha] 1.7.3 had blocks that you can use to build with.
Minecraft now has blocks that you can use to build with.
Nothing has changed in my opinion." That is all.
That's a good idea. I've never done that. I will from now on though.

Don't let steve's death be in vien! Play that seed and destroy all skeletons! http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/1600345-extreme-hills-mushroom-seed-with-massive-hole-to-bedrock-and-mineshafts/

Skeletons used to be easier because they aimed differently, and if you got in a 2x1x1 hole with one they couldn't even shoot you.
Now, they are really OP, especially for being more common than endermen (which can be 'hacked' in many ways).
People have asked for baby skeletons many times since baby zombies became a thing... I fear those people...
