What's the point of asking a question if you are only going to pick the answer you agree with?

Don't you think that sometimes the best answers are the ones you least like to hear?

    Of all the Best Answers I've gotten, I can only think of about three examples where the person obviously disagreed with me and yet chose my reply anyway. And of the three, two were accompanied by angry replies, as if the person hated to give me the ten points.

    Which leads me to believe that most people just want to have their own thoughts and ideas validated. They're not looking for excellence in answers or considering a different viewpoint than their own.

    They just want someone to say, "Oh yes, you're absolutely right and what a brilliant question!"

    It's like having a conversation with yourself. You never get an argument! Same reason many Liberals want Fox News shut down. They don't want to hear something different and then have to think!

    i do no longer know the thank you to respond to a query that I have not have been given any specific view on. yet i will purpose to describe why I have not have been given any view. My view is the middle of the two the conventional perspectives of it truly is incorrect or it truly is marvelous. people say it truly is incorrect by using fact it defiles those in pornography even nevertheless it truly is their option to achieve this. And there are people who say it truly is a sturdy subject by using fact they themselves view pornography. My view is this: women individuals or men who place themselves in those movies or magazines do it on their very own it truly is a ability to income money or they do it for the exhilaration, whilst those viewing it are got here across disgusting that they might check out somebody in this form of way, even nevertheless it truly is obtainable freely given for men and youthful men to examine such issues. Pornography in itself isn't incorrect it truly is by ability of decision that it truly is here and by ability of decision it truly is considered. The view portion of parenting and that thier little ones check out it being incorrect is purely addressed as so: watch your youngster and care sufficient to ensure what they do on their very own time. yet another element maximum probable to be suggested is baby Pornography, it truly is not pornography it truly is against the regulation, the little ones are forced into doing something they do no longer go with to do and maximum probable abducted interior the technique. it truly is a thoroughly distinctive subject that I do have an extremely solid view on. the folk who view it could have their very own issues that they take in with their families. for my section no count if it is not doing injury to the folk why does it count no count if it truly is a foul subject or no longer. If it happens in a kinfolk that view at as incorrect enable them to handle it on their very own words yet so some distance as removing it, i does no longer by using fact it truly is carried out by ability of decision. I.E. Freedom of speech.
