And why do the always pick the worst possible answer?

I haven't noticed this, but I might have an answer...\n\nLiberals like to check with the people, to make their vioces heard.  Conservatives just go and make a decision, without looking at all the facts.

False.\n\nThe key word in the question is 'always'.  If there is any probability of a different answer, no matter how small, then it can not be 'always'.

I pick the most thought provoking. I will often ignore the ones that are just parroting what I have said. Someone must bring in a different tilt on the subject, something I missed, or explain things well for me to give them the 10 points.

Its more than likely to just get the points..they don't care what they are writing...I was guilty of it and still do sometimes to the really stupid questions but I try and give as best an answer as I can!

Worst. Question. Ever.

its because of thier STUPID QUESTIONS\n\nand eventually the answers will also be rude...\n\nbut if you ask a good question then answers will be OKAY..

Because they really think getting 10 points validates them, i would deliberately avoid giving someone who asked for 10 points a best answer rating even if they were first with the best answer.

So they can give a stupid easy answer

Because putting people down makes them feel Superior.\nThese cynical little rodents,scurry through the questions,looking for their next victim to target and ridicule,because they don't have the capacity to relate any other way.

Yes.. same here.. very very strange why/how some of the answers are totally appropriate but are considered  inappropriate.. I have no idea why.... to contest is like talking to a wall

What in the world is this person (that you are referring to) thinking? There is always going to be an answer that is better than another (as far as opinions go). That is up to the person who is answering the poll. I'm not sure why there is even a field to indicate 'no best answer'. The only reason I can find for this option is that there are so many people on here that answer just for points that there may be a possibility of all answers being incredibly ridiculous. Therefore leaving no option other than to vote 'no best answer'. I, myself, have never voted for that, as there have always been people who answer at least with a link offering help - that is better than nothing or a snide remark. *shrug* Go figure.

Always close out my questions, yes it is hard to choose sometimes, I've even flipped a coin to decide the best answer.

It's because the answers vary so much, and some are really stupid.

No, I get it. People ask a question, and then choose the people who side with their point of view. It happens alot. I tr to honestley choose the answer that actually answered my question, even if I disagree.\n\nSometimes though, ALL the answers avoid the question, (I have one up about remarriage right now, like that) and none of them address the issue, so picking one then is really difficult.

Keep asking questions about the details in an unaggressive & friendly manner.  They're bound to screw up.

philosophical pessimism.\n\nIf you are referring to a site like this, where anybody can answer anything no matter if they know the truth or not, then I suppose there really would be no point in asking your question because you might only be taken further away from your answer (a surprisingly large amount of the answers i've been reading to questions have been dead wrong).\n\nBut maybe if you come across a couple of answers that raise even more questions, then they will lead you to the right one. Some wrong answers can add a new dimension to your question.

well u make ppl laugh with ur jokes, so who ever amuses you with their answer should be the best. i mean, u cant always give and not take, if u cant choose because all are equally lame, just wait for voters to choose . another thought is if there all exactly the same answer, just pick the first person to have answered
