Why do people use this site instead of actualy searching for answers?

Question

thats all there is to it. why do so many questions get asked about the simplest things. can't people just use the search bar?

best answer goes to those of you who show me questions asked related to what I am talking about.

Answer 1

Because the American school system is an abysmal failure. Our culture has produced lazy fools who want to have answers spoon-fed to them.

I can't believe the bad grammar, spelling, and rudeness that shows up in these questions.

"Plz my prblem im despert gimme now"

Actually, come to think of it, maybe some of these people have tried search engines. They can't find what they are looking for because they can't spell, and they can't think of relevant search words to enter. And when they do get results, they don't know how to separate the wheat from the chaff.

You've inspired me, I'm going to post a question that I can't seem to find the answer to. I wonder what sort of moronaical answers I will get.

Answer 2

Why did u spend 5minutes of your PRECIOUS life to ask this question..this one seems pretty pointless  to me man!!  GET A FRIGGIN CLUE

Answer 3

i think the best answer is....well i can alway search and find the meaning of a word....the answer to a math problem...the meaning of life...i can find the answer out myself just like the person or pple giving me the answer did...but it feels good to know that someone...or especially a whole lot of ppl out there who don't know me from Adam...actually gave a d**n to want to help me get that much closer to a solution...without wanting anything in return except the satisfaction of helping me out...it's just a reminder that we all need each other even though we all can do it ourselves

Answer 4

Because lots of time people would like a human touch, someone else who may have experienced what they are asking about, instead of just textbook jargon.

Answer 5

Unfortunately, search engines don't always take you to safe sites, and for the casual user, this can be a disaster.  It's safer for them to ask questions here, thus avoiding sites that are set up for phishing, scamming etc.

Answer 6

People ask questions to find the right answer. In a serch bar you get to many resalts and it's really anoying looking through them and not finding what you want. When you ask a question  here there are tons of people ready to help and you usally find a good answer.
