It is good karma to help one another. Also getting a kudo of 2 points is quite nice. Now another 2 added to my score.=)

Do you have that many questions to ask? You can also answer, rate and vote on answers to other questions.

Why would you ask such a question, is there something you wish to know?

the reason to ask is age old .......curiosity.u can be anonymous here and ask questions that u otherwise CANT ask.secondly u meet people from different walks of life who can answer u on a variety of things.\nthe reason to answer is firstly to help someone with the knowledge one has and secondly to put forward ones opinion.\nlast but not the least........its a good game with the points too!!!!!!

I prefer to answer them because it makes me feel like I am helping someone who is really in need of advice. I generally only answer questions that I know the answers to,and try to be polite and helpful. It makes me happy and I feel good about myself at the end of the day! :)

Honestly?  I am here for both reasons.  I like the points and I enjoy answering some of these questions.  I don't ask very many cause I'm too busy answering.  I put a trivia question out yesterday and got a blistering answer from someone, really surprised me.

I do it for both. Sometimes, it's just fun to ask a nonsense question, or a stupid question, just to see the amswers.

Many people give answers to different subjects they have no clue about. I am wondering myself. But what can you do?\n\nWell, I only answer questions for which I am qualified to answer.

Because inquiring minds want to know!

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...

Most of the time I find questions to answer sincerely and precisely.  Sometimes I answer questions just for fun... like now... I'm going through the polling questions... those are definitely just for fun.

You don't need to ask questions if you do not want to, or can't think of anything.  Just answer questions until something occurs to you that you want to know, and then pose your question.  We have quite enough of meaningless and pointless questions as it is.

I love to see what others ask and the answers they get....i've learned a lot about people since i've gotten on here...everyday it's great to do something besides answering emails and playing games...

Why do I answer so many unimportant questions?\nIt's all just for fun,don't worry about the importance of questions or answers.

Some people ask questions to try to prove they can set a question that people will find difficult to answer.\nSome people ask questions that they think they know the answer to anyway, to try to convince other people to think their way.\nIt seems a waste of time and points to me, either way.

Sometimes...it depends on who sees your question and answers it. Also, sometimes I just want to get peoples' opinions of something, so in that case I am happy with the answers. It opens my eyes to the way other people think about things. It can also be quite entertaining.
