I asked a question day before yesterday.Got 11 answers.Out of those there were only 3 that read the whole question.So I see what you are talking about.I sometimes answer with some whimsical or dry humor answer. But you can't even be funny if you are not replying to the whole question.

Some people rush through their answers in order to rack up the points. I personally like to answer questions to the best of my ability. If I want to horse around I sometimes ask a funny and weird question.

it depends on the person as to which subject to discuss.  some people just get on here to waste time and ask pointless questions for the heck of it. others are seroius about what they ask and need serious answers.  i still dont understand why there are still those that put stupid remarks like "i dont know" for answers to important questions. it frusterates me but what can you do?

Yes. once in a while when I ask a question,I will get many nice, informative answers, but there are always those few that feel the need to be rude, even when your question is serious in nature..I just try to ignore the rude ones, but yes, it does get on my nerves!!

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..

They do it to get attention.  They are also trying to get you to respond/argue, so that they can laugh at you.  It could also be because they don't know you, so they figured acting stupid is ok.  Some people's "stupid questions" may actually be real ones.  That is just what I think.

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.

I also get violations for answering these types of questions ... they put a "freedom of speech" forum then they decide who or what questions can be asked .... as long as you have a serious question it deserves an answer .... \nThere are some that are just stupid ... so maybe they're having trouble differenciating between serious and lame??

Because too many people were asking lame questions just to get points, not because they really wanted to know the answer.

It could be because they aren't sure if the questioner really needs an answer to the question, or if it is supposed to be a joke. Everybody has a different way of looking at things--what you find funny, might horrify me. What I find funny--might horrify you. \nI am assuming that you are looking for a plausible explanation here, and that this is not simply another light-hearted question.

LOL - I HAVE A SENSE OF HUMOR!\nHave you ever been called a name because you asked a ridiculous question - that was MEANT to be ridiculous - and people just didn't "get it"?  Happens all the time to me.  Lighten up.  Take some time to go live a life and do this (answer questions) for FUN!\nI had some people in mind when I wrote this...

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?

What kind of lame-ass question is this?

What the hell kind of question is that?  I never, ever overreact to anything, lamebrain!  I am always right and it is people like you with their silly mendacity and unkempt appearance that ask these dumb questions and...oops, I mean, of course I can!\n\n       :-]

If you can't read between the lines when I answer your questions, why do I bother answering them?

lol....the problem is, you're not sure if someone is pulling your leg or if they are really desperate, and ask questions because they are really frightened...I just try to answer with intelligence, unless it is a blatant foolish question ...
