why when you ask a question do people tell you what you should have asked?

That's because under your question, there's a little plus sign.  Put the cursor on it, then click the edit option, and you can add more details and tell people what they want to know (if you think they have a clue).\n\nThen they can modify their own answers from, "What the heck are you talking about???" to something more sensible and helpful.  \n\nWell, that's the theory, anyway.

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!!!!!!

Truth of the matter is that when you post a question...you're looking for answers.  Most of the time, these answers are our personal opinions.  Really, there is no "right" or "wrong" answer.  All answers are dependent on your personal views, life style, way you've been brought up, etc.  You're looking for an answer, you get the result of the outcomes of our personal lives.  Some of us are more "sensitive" than others, that's part of the way we were brought up or how we believe we should treat others.  Some of us are more "intelligent" than others, that is also dependent on other factors.  So you see, when looking for an answer, you're faced with the results of our lives and everything we've all gone through.  Sometimes, there's just no simple way to say things.

Did you only offer them a little bit of your opinion or did you explain the entire position.  If so, then they might have asked 'why' because they can't relate to it.

Well for the most part you are right. People want 2 points so they say whatever comes to mind, others though may speak from experience. It's the person asking the question that needs to go seek professional help, regardless of what answers they receive.

Possibly your question has been questioned to determine the direction it's taking or the intent behind the question.  Sometimes a question is questioned because the answer'er may doubt the inquisitor's motives. On the other hand it could be due to a variety options with which the answer'er could accurately supply an answer and they want to gain more information to appropriately answer said question.

Like everyone, I enjoy getting a "best answer" as a little ego boost, but I'm often quite surprised at which answers are picked. \n\nI try to pick questions where I have something to offer that hasn't already been said. I try to answer honestly, from the heart or from information I know to be true. If I think I know  the answer to a factual question, I still like to double-check the information before I give an answer. This also allows me to refer the asker to a website where they can get more information on the topic. I strive for answers that are helpful and informative, although sometimes I just try to offer a little levity. I will be supportive of what I think is right, but I will be critical of behavior I think is immoral, unhealthy or just stupid. I also check my spelling and try to make sure that I have used proper grammar and punctuation. If I catch a typo, I will go back and correct it, because that bothers me. If I am not happy with an answer, I would rather not submit it. Even in this anonymous forum, I want to be able to take pride in what I produce.\n\nBy the way, I have been surprised to discover that "just wondering" is such a common nickname. I may have to try to think of something more original.

What did you want to ask?

Anything.. um..why are people asking what they should ask? As long as we can understand UR question, we can answer. So, spill it here.

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.

You can ask them to reply as it is important to you to have there opinion. You can ask questions that require an answer.
