Why do people on here?

The answerers who can do no justice to a question only answer for the 2 point value and others will for the sake of ignorance.  That isn't to say that all who answer with a wrong answer did so knowing they knew nothing...there are those who know it all!  \n\nI asked a question the other day in music and had a user post a nasty, trashy answer about her sexual nature.  It is the same old thing over and over...intelligence and the inept conception that ignorance is bliss.  \n\nIt is only 2 points afterall...but there are those point junkies that have nothing to offer only to gain here.

sometimes people haven't been trained to be polite and other times people use the net to be asses because they know here they can be the opposite of what hey are. They may be using this forum to vent or suffer from low self esteem. Eveyone's not like that sweetie.....keep hope alive!!

First, to prevent overloading their servers.\nSecond, to prevent addicted users like me from posting 24h/day and losing their job/wife/health.\nThird, to give all users chances to get a similar number of points.

Don't know...maybe we are just lonely ppl with little to do and this is our way to communicate and connect with others. \n\nMost of the time the people on here are pleasant, funny, caring and real with us and I for one appreciate that. \n\n:-)

Because creepy pervs dont get out much so they have to use the internet. And the majority of people on here are young. The creepy pervs always know where to find the what they are looking for. And unfortunately, there seem to be creepy pervs hooking up with other creepy pervs here. I know, its creepy.

The purpose varies by user.  For some, it's a way to get information.  For others, it's a way to share their knowledge.  For some, it's a way to have fun trolling.  For others, it's a way to keep themselves distracted from works that needs to be done.  There are probably almost as many purposes as there are users.

You are so funny ! You love to post humorous questions that are bizarre and comical, like the ones about poop and butts. Then you ask why people answer your questions. Hahahahaha. So, why do you ASK them ?\nYou ask them because it is a form of entertainment for you. I answer them because it is a form of entertainment for me (sometimes educational). YA beats the heck out of television ! At least, we get to interact.\nThanks for the questions. Have fun !

Thats a strange question bubble.  Of course people are on here.  Are you just trying to see how many people are going to answer you?  If so, I have called your bluff and deserve to have my answer rated as best.

Sometimes it is because they really want to know how others can respond to it.  A lot of questions are loaded, but that is because sometimes people have so much that they think on a subject, and that is reflected in their question.  \n\nSometimes someone does it to try to prove a point.  Sometimes it is a rhetorical question meant to bring up a point of weakness in a faith.\n\nThe answerers can shed light on the topic however to all who would read the question.  Perhaps the one asking will not listen to an objective answer, but other readers might.\n\nI think that most questions asked in this forum are sincere, and people are really seeking answers, or seeking to know how other people may answer the same question.

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.

Someone must have a grudge and are reporting your question and answers. I guess that some stupid people enjoy doing that!

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!

I think there are people who do, people get into religious debates & stuff. Some people do geuinely want to know the answers to sensible questions & it's a really useful site i think.
