Answer 11

i feel that that is a matter of opinion.  I often find that people misunderstand my answer or where it is coming from, because everyone is wired differently, which is why we all have different opinion, and which is also why what may sound stupid to you may sound interesting, or smart to me.  Next time you feel like something is a stupid answer, just ask them how they came up with that before you decide it is stupid..

Answer 12

Answer 13

Answer 14

Your question is not stupid. Some people don't seem to care what they say. I sometimes don't even know what the person is trying to ask. Some people need to learn how to spell.

Answer 16

Well, it's all relative, right? What might seem really serious to one person because they are emotionally involved in the situation or lack experience in the world, really seems like a no-brainer to many other people.

Now, if you're just talking about point-gainers, they are just here to give people a hard time and get as many points in as short amount of time as possible.

Now can I have two points?
