why do some people on here ask questions they can obviously quickly look up on the net themselves?

Maybe they like to have other answers besides what's out there...just more opinions.  Why did you ask this question..? Couldn't you have looked it up on the net???

These questions are so easy to answer if you just look  on the internet. Why do you clog up yahoo answers with nonsense?

Why do you write questions on here that you should probably just be asking to this person face to face?

My own suspicions are that:\n\n1. Some folks ask inane questions for shock value\n\n2. Some ask inane questions just to see what responses they will get\n\n3. Some people are amazingly lazy - they could find answers by dong a minimal amount of research, but want someone to hand them the answers\n\n4. Some people can't come up with anything better to do with their time\n\nAnd on that note, I have better things to do with my time.\n\nTTNF

So then why do u ask? Because there's stupid ppl like me who are bored and have nothing better to do with their time...so they answer a question and feel that they have made a difference...haha.

Most people don't think before they speak whether on here or face-to-face.\n\nBut you have to give them a bit of credit, they must type incredibly fast.

No.  That is why I don't just give answers--I explain the answer or the question.  If they ask a lot of questions, I point them to internet sites.

if you are that good, why ask here?

I think some of the people who answer on here rush to try and answer the question first..thus they make mistakes and don't bother to spell check...I really don't know why they do this...It's not as if points make prizes.

Trouble is, no one would use it.  It's faster and easier to ask again then it is to look it up.  Let's face it, if you could look up the answer, you probably wouldn't need to ask the question here (you may have already tried to look it up + weren't able to find it, for example).

The ones that ask about personal matters, such as the guy who wanted permission of the entire internet to do something with his girlfriend.  It is clear that some people just want to post a question, but do not really have a question that is relevant to post.

I think its for two reasons...\n1. It appeals to people's desire to win\n2.Gives others an idea of who out there in the internet world have heaps of spare time on their hands to sit here typing answers to the unknown (like me ha ha)

Why are you asking someone else to answer this for you? Why don't you seek out the info for yourself?

Most on life expertise. Some on ask.com, google answers, etc. I figure the people asking certain questions need to know that there is links out there that may help them. If not, at least I tried. I also figure that they may not understand how to do a search yet, still young or something.\n\nBut, again, most is from life.....

Come people may feel it is not necessary to read it.  They might only want to give smart a## answers and get the points.  \n\nOthers might think they know everything and want to answer right away.  \n\nWhat I do if I see a question I know I can answer or look up is like this:\nI will try to be the first to comment by only typing on letter or symbol then doing my research.  Then I come back and type it all in.  This was my answer is the first to be read as it is now. \n\nI do my best to read everything in between these periods to.\n\nSorry but some people are just idiots.

I think if someone really wanted to, they could figure out so much info about a person.. People leave what they think are very small pieces of info, but when added up, you're leaving yourself wide open.  But that's true of any internet site people contribute to regularly.
