Why do so many people create silly questions and answers just to get points? What is the...ermm... point of it all?

Observation:
It is absolutely amazing to me that this particular question has yielded more answers more quickly than any of my more serious questions.

I think it is just human nature to be competitive, and therefore people devise (sometimes silly) ways in which they can "beat" the "competition" by getting more points. However, I thought it was funny to note that you personally have over 1,000 points and have gotten over 400 during this week alone. =)

Because someone has the chance to declare that they are the Best at something. I have the most points, therefore I am the best. Just until someone else comes along and bumps them to #2..in 3.5 seconds.
I do not know what the big deal is with the points. I come and answer questions in the hope that I can help someone, somewhere. The points...I just don't get it either. :)

Why can we concern being murdered if all of us understand we will die besides? Why can we concern the darkish if it really is darkish when we close our eyes? Why can we concern death if there replaced right into a level in time when we weren't alive? (in the previous delivery) Why can we concern discomfort when we've all been damage in the previous and it really is going to ensue again? Why can we concern falling in love yet choose it so badly? Why can we concern human beings like Hitler and Osama Bin weighted down at the same time as all they did replaced into kill those who were going to die besides? quarter-hour in the past - 4 days left to respond to. rfile Abuse further information I actually have complications for being curious? Meh. it is your opinion.

People find it interesting to read the questions of everyone around the world. You have to admit that some of them are funny and it is addictive. Those that ask questions lose points.

It seems you could possibly be doing the same thing. Maybe not. You want to know the point of answering questions.

I really don't care about the points. I find the questioning and answering interesting and sometimes fun.

In one way, I think it's kinda foolish. But then I think I'm hooked on getting to the next level. Strange.
