Because they are ranting, not asking a question.
And what's even more "fun" to watch, someone will write a well-researched 2000 word answer that disagrees with them, someone else will answer simply "Yes!", and the SECOND person will get the 10 points (and 5 stars!) for best answer.
Good Grief!

Apparently, some people only want confirmation of their ideas, instead of delving more deeply into a given subject, or learning about other viewpoints. We've all been there, I think. Sometimes people just want to know that what they feel or think is right. Other times, people want to consider alternatives to their ideas. At any rate, Y! Answers provides a reasonable place for asking and answering both types of questions, although the answerers may not always feel that way.
God bless.

well sometimes I have a view on a subject, but I may not know everything for sure... so I will state my opinion and then people can tell me where I'm wrong...
I've given a best answer several times to people that have a different opinion than I do and have proof for what they say... now I still may not agree totally with them, and I may have other things that prove the things that I say, but I think it's good to get a reaction on you're ideas and opinions... and you can learn a lot...

Some folks don't know this is yahoo answers and they are suppose to ask questions. I have ranted at times but most of the time I try to leave it open and try to pick the answer that is closest to my feelings. That I think is the way it is suppose to work.

In most such cases, the question is nothing more than a thinly disguised lead-in for the statement that follows.

It is because time and time again the people who answer the question gets so caught up in the semantics or take the question too seriously that to keep the peace or get the response you want that you almost feel as if you have to guide them.

Because they aren't asking a question. They are making a statement. It's their way of getting around the question requirement.
