Answer 1

This is comedy for me. The only thing funnier than the answers, is the dumb questions people ask.

Answer 2

Foremost, it's to pass a little down time, now and then.

Next, I enjoy a little political banter with folks. It is interesting to hear what bizarre angles people are taking on political developments and think about how to counter them.

I also like to set the record straight on misconceptions regarding religious or social issues. This is usually preaching to the choir - I don't expect to change anyone's opinion. Just honing my own rhetoric. But it might influence someone. You never know.

Occasionally some plea for help stands out and I hope to give a helpful bit of advice, knowing full well that the asker may by BSing, but you never know.

and lastly, there are some interesting questions posed that are fun to think about. Everybody likes to share their opinion, don't they?

Answer 3

I also like writing and reading about interesting things and what people think about them. And it feels good to answer to someone´s question if I know the answer, especially if I can tell them the correct thing and so give them the right information instead of them having wrong or misinformation about important things, and so to be able to give them at least some little help. And of course this all fun and an amusing and sometimes even useful way to spend the time, and have at least some little contact with other people when not with them in the real life.

Answer 4

I get nothing out of it but violations and personal messages attacking my character and intelligence. When you get to about level five, you recognise the same old questions that are asked time and again, that you've answered over and over. It gets very boring and frustrating. There are few good questions that I want to answer now, and I don't think I will ever get to level six. I visit this site less, and less often now. America leaves a sour taste in my mouth, they are arrogant, self centered, ignorant people who worship themselves, and money. Of course, I am not alone, many look upon America with distaste.

Answer 5

Part of it is testing my foundations on things. See what is faulty, what has holes. I get feedback when I say something that's inaccurate of outdated and I learn from it.

It's good jousting and debating experience. I'm honing arguments with fewer soft white underbellies.

I'm building a solid foundation of reasearch for books I'm planning. I might take one on Religion, but the main one is on a technical level for the home consumer and wannabee pro and I'm finding out where people are having all their problems, so it will aid me in providing more concrete answers.

I'm also interacting with people.

I'm also here to do religious or spiritual work. I'm developing my own approach to it.

Answer 6

1. It's usually fun.
2. Sometimes I get to help people, sometimes I learn something.
3. I hope to develop some offline interaction with people that I can help/be helped by in life.
4. Specifically in the religion and spirituality section, I hope to help guide someone to spiritual Truth. Occasionally, someone's question is actually genuine and it's refreshing to meet such a person.

Answer 7

I enjoy sharing my knowledge and opinions in a civilized discussion. I think alot of people have alot of reasons why they come here. Some to rabble rouse and just be confrontational because they get their jollies out of that . Some have political and social agendas they want to spew. Some 'kids' and I use that term loosely are trying out how 'tough' they think they are on an anonymous audience but wouldn't dare say some of things said here if they met face to face with the people they say it to.

Answer 8

1. i am here when i get bored
2. sometimes its nice to see ppl who think like i do...
3. wot do i hope to achieve thru Y/A? well nothing really....maybe i can give some answer which helps somebody....
4. MY goal in life is to b a good human being (or were u asking abt my desire abt Y/A)?

Answer 9

I can't always go directly to people and spread the good news about God's Kingdom that we were taught to pray for by Jesus Christ. I can, however, use my spare time wisely in dispelling rumors about my faith, Jesus Christ, and Jehovah. It means everlasting life to take in knowledge. John 17:3

I think that is the best use of my free time. What do you think?

Answer 10

Because yahoo closed down the News Story Messageboards ! I used to live there and it was hilarious some of the comments people made
