Why do you answer questions?
94539
I answer questions because I feel like I'm helping other people out with understanding something... from simple ones such as "What is the definition for..." to complex ones like "Why do you believe what you believe?"\n\nI am by no means an expert on all things, but I like to acquire knowledge just so I can know things. So by reading the questions, I find myself almost forced to research the question and give an answer, even if sometimes my answer comes from way out in left field!

No.  That is why I don't just give answers--I explain the answer or the question.  If they ask a lot of questions, I point them to internet sites.

Just something to keep us answer freaks motivated in answering questions. Further motivation is provided by giving 10 points for the best answer

I think people are more enthusiastic about answering questions!!\n\nThe reason people are enthusiastic about answering questions on this portal is that we, human beings, like to consider ourselves to be intelligent creatures and this is one forum where we can proove our knowledge and wisdom.\n\nAnd the reason why people are enthusiastic in asking questions is that they want answers from real people instead of having to use a search engine.

Why did you ask it if you answered it yourself?

That's exactly what happens to me!! I personally like to answer cuz sometimes something funny might blurt out, etc.\nIn life it's hard to have someone listen to you, even in writing, but when your answer is sought, it kind of makes you important and confident that at least they'll be listening for the answer.\nMaybe I just need to get a life... but that's too hard, so I'm gonna keep answering questions like there was no freaking tomorrow
