Question

Do you ever ask "hot topics" just to see the reactions you get?

Answer 1

Not on Y!A.  

There are too many thin skinned people around who would rather delete a question than debate it.  This is the cheap way of showing one's character.

Answer 2

Whaat? NOOOOOO.... Never

Answer 3

Yeah. Especially if I'm bored and need a laugh.

Answer 4

Not really, because the only reaction I will get is my question being deleted, sad but true!

Answer 5

I do that a lot. I try to word the question so that it's not clear which side I'm on. That way I can get honest responses and not a bunch of flames. I've asked things like "Should we drill in ANWR?" and "What do you think of ______ ?"

Answer 6

Yes and no. I ask questions I really want an answer to, but I do phrase the initial title sentence in such a way that it seems to be a hot topic. Thereby getting more responses; at least that’s my working theory.

Answer 7

I think almost everyone's been guilty of that at least once on here.

Answer 8

sometimes. But most of the time the reactions and answers are predictable. More for personnel humor sometimes at the predictability of people.

---------------

Surprisingly when ever I ask a question in regards to certain aspect's of feminism it get's deleted. Even if the question is not offensive or anything...............

Answer 9

No, but I do post answers to get a reaction now and then like financial abortion. I don't believe in it. I just like to get reactions.
