Do some of you who give answers here have nothing better to do than give smartass answers to real questions?

Don't ask retarded questions if you don't want smartass answers.\n\nAbout 50% of my answers are smartass in nature. But I have my reasons.

You like to ask open ended questions to see how creative people can be with their answers. however, very few people satisfy you, correct??

Honestly?  While getting best answer is nice, it's not why I'm here.  \n\n\n\nI'm here to try and answer people's questions with honesty, sincerity, and as accurately as possible.  I'm here to share my knowledge with those who need it or are looking for it.  \n\n\n\nI'd rather someone find the answer to a question that has puzzled them for a long time, and find a bit of happiness from it - that's my job, and if I've succeeded, then I've done what I set out to do....

A lot of people answer questions to receive points. I found that out with a few I have asked. So I just read them and laugh. Its not like they are ruining my day and maybe they had nothing better to do. I also say...If you ask a question...you should be prepared to receive answers you may not necessarily agree or disagree with. Those that have answered your question ignorantly or negatively  might have a different opinion of their answer.

Yes, I like the rating of the answers, and it is challenging to try to get points, but it should be for decent, legit answers.

for the stupid and immature answers

Yes. We are all here sitting answering questions and asking questions don't you think we should be rewarded for the time we spend here giving advise to total strangers? You tell me?

Do you think a person that wasn't stupid, would post this question?

I love this one, most people who posted knew the answer but posted anyway, why do we do that!?!?!?

I can't speak for anyone but myself.\n\nI find a lot of satisfaction in answering LEGITIMATE questions posed by people who are honestly looking for information.  Many times I find folks who'll post an answer with vulgarity or their version of humor when it totally uncalled for.  I will not post an answer if I'm not pretty sure I'm passing good, solid answers or common sense opinions.\n\nMost people, well...just about everyone who has picked my answer as "the best" have been quite gracious with thanks.  I get a lot of satisfaction in thinking that I've helped someone out, no matter how small the deed may have been.

I have to agree that it does take a thoughtful answer to score big on here...but it's not really about the point value for everyone. Some people are just here to use there anonymous screen name to be rude and have a laugh at someone elses expense. Some of us (like myself) put thought into their answers and offer some sincere advise to the asker. I am on level 6 and currently 21% of my answers have been picked as best.Don't get me wrong...I have answered some not so serious questions, and given appropriately not so serious answers to them...I have also found that I have a couple of times put too much thought into my answer because it was a "joke" question...though I didn't see the humor in it. TO each their own. We all have our purpose to serve here, so take the Not so genuine responders with a grain of salt. Enjoy the site...you will find in time that there will be certain members that you will hope to have answer your questions...Happy Q's & A's

I do it quite a lot.  I don't see this as a game-show, there are no prizes - a lot of people are looking for genuine answers, but if all you're doing is trying to show off how clever you are you're going to end up misleading them, if I know an answer without doubt - then I'll still double check on the search engines just to be sure. \nIf it's a simple trivia question or a riddle I'll answer with the answer I think is right, if it's advice that's needed I'll offer it, if funny is required then I'll try and be humourous, but if it's facts that are asked for I'll do everything I can to make sure it's facts that are given - not educated guesses or unbacked certainties. \nI give a mixture of cut and pasted facts along with links in order to reassure the asker that the information has come from a reliable and informed source and not just some faceless nobody intent on showing he's the smartest guy in the room.

Not really, nice to have something fun to answer instead of all the really serious stuff here.

Do you really expect an intelligent answer in THIS place?
1144809
Yes, there a few gems stashed in amongst the rubbish on this forum.  It takes researching the profiles of people who give intelligent answers.  People who give good answers usually ask great questions.  Sometimes we have to put up with a lot of irritating nonsense to get through to the good stuff.  I suggest keep a list of people who ask good questions/give good answers and go to their profiles to answer theirs.  Who cares about points.  Let the others wear each other out.

I do, unless the question is really stupid, then I read it halfway and leave some smartass answer. =)
