Do you think people tend to answer the easier, less thought provoking questions more?

Of course people answer the easier ones more, that is human nature.  Not to mention the fact that I think that there are a lot of kids, and teenagers on this, and for the most part you won't get thought provoking thoughts from them.

Yes I have thought about it,answering questions is more important.

Do they? I never noticed it.\n\nBut i think the reason behind that is that the questions about getting down are easier to answer than the serious questions. I mean, if you choose between 'do you love me' and 'whats the meaning of life from the buddhistic view', youd probably go with number 1.

People are lazy, it takes a lot less effort to make generalizations then to actually think about specifics.

Some of us at least try an answer question to the best of our ability, you may not like the answers but that is the way it go.

I have noticed that there are times of the day when it seems like more intelligent people are answering.\nI have noticed it to be after 4pm and before 10pm but I might be wrong.

Depends on the question...if someone asks for opinion then people keep answering because their opinion is alittle different...but if its a question with a simple answer some do it for the points...or sometimes i've gone to answer a question where i was the first, but till i was done typing 4 other people had already answered lol.

I'd say yes. However, many times they don't express themselves clearly so what they get is a resounding "huh?" instead of a helpful answer. \n\nI've also noticed many people trying to get us to do their homework for them (which I find rather amusing) and people asking questions inaapropriate for this forum.

I think so because on something like this people are more honest because there is a degree of animosity on here that allows a person to be completely honest without being judged. However when you take this into consideration, some people might be more of themselves on here then they are outside of the questions or even the internet for that matter because they aren't necessarily judged by trivial things such as how they look or how others might judge them based on their answers. I guess it really depends on the indvidual and perhaps what they choose to answer that gives the most insight into who they are. You've posed an interesting question and by this I can tell that you have a very inquisitive and deep personality.

Some people cannot communicate their thoughts as well as others. And yes the answers are out there for them to find, but you become their resource when you agree to answer their questions.

do you mean to say"why do i get more questions than answers?some questions do not a one clear answer to them,maybe someone thought you already knew the answer to your question and thought you were just being smart.i don't know what your question was,but here is  my answer now^

People   get bored and look for easy answers.

yes... yes i do... because when they look at the question to see what answer they should choose they will see if people really enjoyed their question... i don't always do it

It depends on your question. Certain questions have standard answers - which can be answered without much effort. Even if people are not aware of the right answer a simple browsing might be sufficient. Whereas the other questions for which you normally dont receive any answers really require some serious thinking. A lot of reading is required & further some really logical thinking will also be involved. Many are trying to answer as much questions as possible in the shortest time. I feel many of them are not ready to spend so much time answering a single question - where they could have answered at least a dozen!

It depends on the question. I only answer if I feel I can offer some valid information or insight.  I will not answer a question that is really ridiculous (as so many are).  I do not answer question so I can get more points (haven't quite figured out what the points are for anyway).  I think that answers should offer more than a "yes" or "no".  If I agree with someones answer I may tell the questioner why.  Some do have better answers.  I have found that most of the questions being asked are subjective.  I may give a thumbs up to someone who has a valid point, but will only give a thumbs down if some one provieds an answer that is extremely biased and ignorant of the subject.

Pretty much...\n\nLegitimate questions get very few answers, but partisan trolls or questions that require no thought get inundated with answers.\n\nHere's a rule a thumb, the more your question requires thought the fewer answers you will get.  And if it isn't a partisan question the extremists tend to ignore it.

I think that some questions stir something inside of us.Some questions are controversial,while others are not.Some questions are easily answered while others are answered by text book explanations.Hmmmm I wonder how many answers this question will get?
