Why ? And don't  answer a question with a question.?

Well if I answer that then you will ask how and then after I answered that you would ask when so I would have to answer that and you would ask WHAT? After answering that you would get real curious and ask where? and Who with and then you would again ask why and after all that irritation of answering your questions I'd have to get smart and say: Because Pink elephants fart purple bubbles when they eat icecream!\nSo, I'm not gonna answer your question. :P

I have often thought that there ought to be an option for us to answer without getting points for it. Apparently, the Yahoo monitors haven't been paying attention. I'd be happy to give up the points I get when I am answering a question that I feel strongly about and want to answer it just for the opportunity to make my case and get my point across.\n\nI think the people who tell you to stop asking religious questions (as long as they are sincerely intended, and not simply to cause people to stumble) are frustrated because they cannot manipulate or control you. I think they would probably disdain to receive points for answering you, so I don't think that they are necessarily hypocrites. I do think they are very boastful and rude, though.

Me too - I get really sick of people criticizing your questions and the way you ask them and then going: "2 POINTS!" I know that my question may be opinion based, but you don't have to answer in really rude tones, before ending it off with: "Thanks for the 2 points!", it's not just annoying but it's a waste of time for both me and you. So why don't save us the stupidity, and don't answer if you haven't got an opinion or a thought. This is not all about making the points...

Then why bother posting a worthless question.  These types of questions weigh down the rest of the system and the good questions get buried at the bottom.  You don't want to come back?  Fine, but you don't have to waste other people's time with a dumb question.  By the way, it is "probably," not "prolly."

I have asked questions with no real answers just to see what happens.  It's interesting to watch people's responses!  Sure, why not annoy the heck out of people?!  A day's not a normal day without some annoying element!

Why do you write questions no one wants to answer

A question is a question mark. Every time you ask is a question. Anywhere there are lots of questions. So why you dont answer your question? Question will answer your question. And every question there is an answer. OK..

I blame boredom. I think sometimes people just post questions on here to see if people will answer them - its a form of entertainment I guess. Whats equally annoying are the stupid responses people leave to questions! Like when people say "I don't know" or "I'm not sure" or "that's a tough one" I mean, if you can't be bothered to answer a question properly why the hell are you on Yahoo answers!

I've never had that problem.\n\nOK, ignore the above, I just had that happen, and it was frustrating 'cause I really wanted to answer a particular question. What's up with that?

not wanting to answer your question

What kind of a question is this? You can't put the answer in the question. That's not fair.\n\nI would have said no.

Well you don't "NEED" to answer any questions whether you like them or not...\n\nNow if you just happen to want to answer some, you may certainly do that if you want to help someone with their question...\n\nAs for you asking questions, I usually stick with things I personally want to know the answer to...\n\nI don't ask just silly random questions...\n\nIf I ask a question that I want an answer to, I wait till I get several answers to choose from and see if any fit into my need for an answer...\n\nThere really is no need to ask a question that you have no use for and don't care if you get an answer or not...\nThat would be pointless...

Some people are here to entertain themselves. Some people are in it for the points, I guess. (Why else would someone answer "I don't know"?) Maybe one of your questions will get picked as a featured question. Then you will get more thoughtful answers. In the meantime, share your own knowledge and help to enhance the intellectual level of this site!

The only reason your questions are answered, is because you are asking them.\n\nIf you do not want your questions answered...don't ask any.

Why are you asking for questions? Aren't you supposed to pose a question?\n\nmoney\nsupply\ndemand
