Somebody want to tell me how this is even possible much less plausible enough for real answers to be warranted?

Some people thought this was a serious parent?

Answer 1

LOL i LOVE your answer to the first question posted.

They really don't bother me. I read some and get a good laugh out of them, especially those who answer it like it's a real question, but most of the time, I just skip over them. You can tell by their title...there's one right now that says, "How can I get my daughter to be like Britney Spears?" Yes...I'm sure a mother is asking that one. They're looking for people to respond and if people just DIDNT RESPOND, they would stop.

What pisses me off are the people who come on here and ask an opinionated question, rant about their opinion on it and then tell everyone who disagrees that they're wrong. Great. No one cares what you believe or why you believe it and if you think the rest of the world is wrong. Write a paper about it and send it to someone who can publish it in a book for others who agree to read. Otherwise...grow the h**l up.

I usually answer the questions where people are looking for true help such as, "What is a Monetessori School like?" and "What toys are good for a child's development?" Something that doesn't include an opinion, only an educational backround.

This is the internet...a lovely little place where people can be who they want to be and say what they want to say without worrying about someone finding out or getting in their face about it. I can be a teacher and mom of 4 today and a single gal who is a millionare living in the Virgin Islands tomorrow.

If you have a problem with it you can either A) skip over the ones who act like idiots or B) get off the internet.

Best Wishes =]

Answer 2

Maybe the niece she was watching is the sister of the adopted boy, who she adopted because the mom was a lowlife.  So she takes care of the girl alot but hasn't officially adopted her.  So that's why she doesn't know whether to call her "niece" or "daughter"  And the 8 year old she mentions is a separate child from the 5 yr old who cried and ran to her room in the other story.  And the mother is just a bit lower on the I.Q. scale.

.... Or maybe it's a made up story and I'm just being a smart ***.  

..... I see, they "bleep" you on here.  Even ***. Good to know......... ***  ***

Answer 3

I don't get it either - Why make up something that sounds like it could be real -

I can kinda understand making up a silly question as a joke -- I saw one that asked if you could get pregnant from smoking pot -- that made me laugh..... but as far as I'm a pregnant teen should I have an abortion?..... Or what to name my baby.... I don't understand - why make that stuff up - $300 of candy, it's not funny, not realistic,  its just dumb....

It is kinda funny that people answer those people seriously --- but then again I, myself don't understand why you'd make that up, so it doesn't occur to me that they are lying.....

It just kids - and pathetic adults playing online.... I find this site amusing even with the looser factor

EDIT -- just saw this one -- this guy must be REALLY cool

Answer 4

Well as far as the hooker question goes, I'm guessing that most people knew that it was fake, but chose to answer anyways, either as a joke, or for the two points.

As far as the two above it, perhaps the people were ignoring the fact that this woman had her stories mixed up and answered anyway in case someone else might be in a similar question. However unlikely, it might help them. Other people may not have seen her previous questions.

I usually answer the question, but preface it with the fact that I doubt their honesty.

As far as the first question, who knows, but odds are the people aren't as dense as you think.

Answer 5

Lol, idk...thats why its so much easier to just tell the truth. Then people wouldn't have to worry about lieing so much they s***w up their own lie! How dumb can someone be, seriously. I don't know, I don't get it, like it, or have any desire to waste time with it anylonger. I'll pass my time for the next week or 2, and am ending my internet service....most of the time this site is nothing but a joke. The ones that are decent on here, are great...the ones that aren't are just a waste of life to me.

People are disgustingly pathetic. Just like the ones faking lives, pregnancies, relationships, anything and everything. These people are compulsive liars and have issues. I'm really glad I stay at home, I'd slap someone like that in real life. Half the c**p on here I don't know to believe or not. Some of it is pretty out there and ignorant. It's embarrasing to be a part of the same species as some of them.

Answer 6

Well, the first person is a troll with a spanking obsession, and its quite obvious.

The second person...   I generally tend not pay much attention to the screen names and usually dont notice those things until I have answered a couple from the same person.  You can tell from the language syntax however that it is a kid.  And a lot of times what will happen there is they will ask questions describing the situation that happened to them or their friends as if they were the parent.  Generally they are looking for validation of their own feelings.  For example in that persons first question, I bet the sister was either her or one of her friends.

And the hooker question...  I answered that one saying that most hookers would not get involved in the personal lives of their clients...  And thats the truth.  So thats either a troll q to stir up answers, or he is playing with fire bringing the call girl home.

I will answer some of the troll off-ball questions though because a lot of times, even though the question was trolling, there are often people in real life going through that exact situation.

Answer 7

I think the same exact thing. I read those and wondered how ANYONE could believe it for even a MINUTE. I think some people do actually believe it, though. I always answer sarcastically. 300$ worth of candy? Asking the same stupid thing over and over with bad spelling? It's all dumb.

What i really can't believe is that someone somewhere is THAT bored that they sit and make up scenario's. LOL

Edit: You're lucky that yours don't violate users terms. Usually mine get deleted for belittling posters. ha ha!
