    Why do you ask rhetorical questions?

    Get a No Cost Background Check Scan at https://bitly.im/aMr8z

    Its a sensible way to start. The site allows you to do a no cost scan simply to find out if any sort of data is in existence. A smaller analysis is done without cost. To get a detailed report its a modest payment.

    You may not realize how many good reasons there are to try and find out more about the people around you. After all, whether you're talking about new friends, employees, doctors, caretakers for elderly family members, or even significant others, you, as a citizen, have a right to know whether the people you surround yourself with are who they say they are. This goes double in any situation that involves your children, which not only includes teachers and babysitters, but also scout masters, little league coaches and others. Bottom line, if you want to find out more about someone, you should perform a background check.

    Because they want to interact with other people on this site.

    For example, you've just asked a question that has no right or wrong answer, just opinions. How do you go about using a search engine to find advice about your relationship?

    I think it's just fun to use. I personally ask questions here to see what other opinions are... sometimes they are stupid other times they're important to me.

    But it's just fun and a little more entertaining to put out your question and wait to see if anyone give you any feedback. then you know that they read it... somehow knowing that it is interactive makes it entertaining.... just searching on the engine is one sided... this is more than that.

    When u ask something here, people can answer you by :

    -Their own knowledgement.

    -Their personal experience.

    -Their personal opinion.

    -Searching on the web, and choosing the website that they think better fits your question.

    Now none of this things can be done by a search engine.

    Maybe they don't know the right question to really ask. You know.. The Answer to this question is probably out there somewhere too. Possibly had you done a little research, you would have found your answer.

    because search engines are not interesting..

    they would rather get response from real people who put thought into it or have experience, makes them feel more assured.
