Straight to the point.
Philosophical arguments can draw out forever.

Very good question.
(please keep in mind, I never thought about it until you asked so I'm writing as it comes to me.)
hmmm...
I think both forms have value. Different but equal.
Two different analogies leap to mind:
Like a bone and muscle...
Individually they are their own structure with their own purpose, their own point of view, their own merit. But the view isn't whole, complete, until both are taken into account.
The Answer can't be truly concluded unless all views are taken into account.
Or...
like learning methods...
some of us are visual learners, some audio, others physical (is the term action learners?). We all learn the same lesson, but learn it in different ways. some of us have to have it explained, others have to see it worked out on paper, and yet others must try it for themselves before committing it to the volumes of "By Golly, I think I got it!" stashed away in the brain.
Does any of this make sense?
Well, anyway, I think that I prefer both, or neither.
I want to see a topic from as many POVs as possible before making up my mind.
If I take only one point of view, whether it be straight to the point or philosophical answers, it always feels like I'm not seeing everything, like I'm color blind.
It might be a great picture, all blues and grays. But, wow, imagine a splash of yellow, a glittering of gold, a spring of green, and an explosion of red!
Now that's a picture!
Note the dropping of "common sense" from the equation. Did so for a reason. In all my long-to-some-short-to-others life, I have discovered (not to mention my father was sure to always remind me) that the only thing common about "common sense" is that no one has it.
Think about it.

I like both really depending on the topic. I'm happy with straight to the point if its a simple question that can be answered easily but i also like to get into deeper answers as well. I find im better with the latter though via verbal conversation so tend to keep type chat short.

I personally prefer common sense/straight to the point answers.
But that's only because they require less thinking about. I'm actually against philosophy because I believe in the absolute omnipotence and omniscience of God, as the Bible says figuratively, even the greatest of human wisdom cannot measure up to God's foolishness.
Praise God in the highest! God bless you! :)

Straight forward. Some philosophical. Even smart *** if they are short. I'll give a thumbs down to long cut and past no matter what their view just to make the thread easier to read.
