Food For Thought!!!?

Question

Why do some many people ask rethorical questions on here or questions they already know the answer to. Or a question that can be answered with a little word called investigation, have we as a society be come that insufficient, Or how bout the question what do you think or how do i look, does everyone need a co-signer now days is there that many individuals insecure about themselves? or thrive on the idea of what everyone thinks of them, and if thats the case who are they to judge? My best advice i can give is not to take anyones advice, discover it for yourself, hence the word discover. I dont think it contradictary of me to say what do you think Do you?? hahahaha

Answer 1

This forum is a great way to share ideas and get advice. Sometimes people get to the point where they just can't find the answer and want advice from whoever's willing to give it. There are also questions that people ask just to see how others think. Then again, there are people who ask silly questions for no reason. There are those who give pointless answers just to get the 2 points. Big deal, an easy 2 points. I'd rather put thought into my answers. I like to give advice and want to be a counselor so I enjoy spending time on here. What I need to be doing is taking a walk then reading my textbook before I start school. So I guess that means I'm signing off. :o)

There are many reasons.  First you have your trolls.  Secondly, you need to remember that many of these questions are being asked by very young people.  Although Yahoo Answers terms says persons must be 13 years of age, there is really no way to monitor it and more than you realize are way under 13, so you need to consider the source.  Thirdly,  there are some people that just don't like or don't understand  "investigation".  A perfect example is one of my co-workers (who is a manager) wants to go on vacation, but does not want to "investigate" airfares on line, because, and I quote..:"I would rather rebuild  a car!"   Personally, I just ignore the obvious trolls and 11 year olds, and learn from other questions by investigating them for myself.  I have learned a lot  of handy tips in the kitchen and some great recipes.

So people with no lives can sit here and read the questions, think about a response and earn 2 points.
