It seems that people on here seem to pick answers that only tell them what they want to hear and not the truth.
I read the questions that have been resolved and some of the answers they have picked are no tgiving them the best advice.
I've even had my answer picked on questions that after I read what others have answered and found that they had better answers than mine I was like why did they pick my answer this/that answer is better than mine.

does it seem that way to anyone else?

Of course they do. Most people don't ask questions to hear answers, but rather to be reassured on how they already thought. That's all people really want: to be reassured they're doing the right thing, not be told what the right thing actually is.

It doesnt matter what they pick, the fact that they did pick one means they read them all and will absorb all the answers. So really it doesnt matter what they choose, if you are mad at it, do not write answers. Otherwise just read them all, use their information, and if you seem to like one, doesnt mean its really better then the rest, or worse. Because its your perception on the situation. What you think is good, may be bad for another person.

Perhaps they have different ideas of a good answer? Such as sometimes a more detailed answer is better yet sometimes I feel they go beyond what was asked to the point that it was not a good answer. Also I never vote for an answer that was copy/pasted.

well we do live in a fast food world. What better than fast answers? Who wouldnt love shaking up a "magic 8-ball" and getting to pick the answer that feels right for them just so they feel better even though they are in denial? oh f*ck i just answered the question with more ?'s.

Some answers that people give is done through personal experience, contact with other people, media, news papers, television or other sources.This information is passed to others with out investigation. They do not know the impact it might have on others. Hearsay information should be analyze prior to imposiong it on others.

Yeah, it bothered me for a while but then I realized what would we do with truth if we found it anyway. This doesn't apply to life decision help (people will do what they want anyway) and questions in search of facts (mostly people to lazy to google things themselves) but I mostly argue about abstract philosophy (that there probably isn't answers to). The points really don't earn you anything but status anyway.

I agree. It's because some people already have their mind made up and they're just looking for support, not honesty. Plus not everyone on here is the sharpest knife in the drawer....

Yes, some people ask loaded questions and pisk the answer they agree with most.

yes- it's not a serious thing for people, they are just playing. it would be nice if it was used in the manner it was intended, it could actually be very helpful- but I don't think that will happen. there are too many kids here who just want to talk about farting for that to happen.
