Why are you so helpless?

Question

just venting but why do people ask for things on here they could do them selves? like " can someone find me a link to some good short stories?" all of you people make me want to punch babies!

Answer 1

they obviously dont want to considering that there are tons of people who will answer their question and do all the research for them

Answer 2

wow, i was just wondering the same thing along with "why do people vent on yahoo? no one cares"

Answer 3

As someone who made good money in college by writing other people's papers, I can say that some people are just plain uninterested and lazy when it comes to academics and research.

Answer 4

Although... at least those are questions.... ventings kind of against guidelines. People ask when they don't know where to start looking. It's easier, faster, and they usually get the good information immediately, which is faster than trawling though all the rubbish stuff (in terms of that specific example). Also, some ask for support or personal advice and experience. If you don't like those questions, just avoid them.

I understand though. My big issue is people who ask questions that have been asked a million times before. "Do blind people dream?" comes up at least once or twice a day. They obviously don't even bother putting it in search first...

Answer 6

I often wonder this myself.  When I was young, we had to go to the library and sit for hours reading books and now, all you have to do is type the question into the address bar, and POOF!  an entire library of information.
