Because it is human nature to want to know if what you think is what others think. It may not change what you think to know what others think but you still want to know, other wise you yourself would not have ask that question you have ask.

Good question. I had it also in my mind long before but i always forget to put it into a question in this site. Good you already ask this!
On my view, people ask questions even if they have already an answer in their mind because they wanted an assurance of their own answers. I for one wanted an opinion or another idea to the questions. Some are looking for other's views on a certain question.
Others are for curiosity, agreement or disagreement to a preposition. Some just wanted to know a personal feeling on a given problem.
Have a nice day!

people can do this for several reasons. validate their answers. the answer they have maybe incomplete or partially true .but many times as happens in yahoo answers they do it because they think the answer they have in mind is great, and they just want to see whether nybody else can come up with a better answer. and mostly they are so sure of the superiorit of their answer that they feel happy seeing other people answers.

Just because you have an answer in mind doesn't mean you have the right answer, you should get input from many other people.

well for me, its because they want to make sure that their answer were just like the answer of other. they want to know if others know the answer that's why they ask.

they are testing your capability to answer that particular question and if you answer it wrong, they'll make fun of you, as though they know everything!!
you? why are you asking this question..? is it really for you to know the answer or to make fun of someone?

Because they didn't look around them. They are searching for something that is far from them .

Because people like to know other people's thoughts/opinions...
