1.) For most - Sheer boredom. They think sarcastic answers make the life go 'round.
For some - my answer.
2.) Because somewhere in the world, my answer makes a difference to someone. Sharing is Caring =)

Mr. Num Num really hit it on the head with answer #1. But for answer #2 I'd have to say insomnia and a need to vent anonymously.

I cannot answer for others but I know that I answer only if I feel as if I am able to help and I enjoy helping or offering advice to people and would expect the same in return.

It's always interesting what people will ask. I wonder why people ask some of the personal things here. People want to express their opinions and people love to be asked their opinions.
