Why are 99% of people in this section incapable of answering a question?

Most of the time people don't deal with immigration matters in their personal lives, so they don't have a necessity to learn about it at all, thus their replies are flawed when trying to help someone.

I don't know a thing about immigration, so I have never felt the need to answer anything that deals with it - apart from this question.

Truthfully, you end up with this problem no matter what category you post a question in. Sometimes people just don't read or understand your question and post nonsense instead. It happens a lot, so you have to filter through the junk to find a decent and well-thought answer.

Also, (and I'm just assuming) people feel very strongly about many of these hot topic issues like immigration and evolution but they honestly don't have a valid defense to back up their arguments so they just post crap like, "i hate illegals" or "all illegals must die".

On the other hand, if you ask a question that seeks an opinionated answer then there is no guarantee that you are going to get anything but opinion......

Because the majority of USA's society are extremely "IGNORANT" and prejudice. Can't you tell with the the remarks from of stupidity?? But I bet you put their A!! in the illegal immigrant's shoes they would be begging for acceptance and help more so than the illegals have ever done. That's alright though, in my eyes, the people who ridicule and bash will have to pay the price with God. I wonder what they will say then??

GOOD QUESTION ! Every time I ask a question about immigrants in general I get the same old song and dance about the illegals......blablablablabla.I think these people are so obsessed with illegal immigration that they grasp at any opportunity to climb on that soapbox of theirs and start ranting and raving about the same old thing. I'll give you an example of one of my questions so you can see for yourself.

I see some only want to argue and resort to hate, name calling, posing links that are made by people that think like they do with no truth to them. Sad but true.

True, but it is the immigration section. It's the only really appropriate place to vent. I find that if the question is well thought out, you tend to get pretty good answers. It's just the ones that say" How's about we go shoot us some illegals, yee haw" that tend to degenerate into odd rantings and stupid diatribes. There are intelligent people out here...you just have to frame the question correctly. Peace.

Not me! People may think I sound like I'm on a soap box but I answer the question.

I am glad you said 99% of people in this section, but for their answers, most of the questions are actually attacks against anti-illegals. Some questions also seem to provoke anger instead of understanding.

Man, I thought my page was bad ... Maybe we should quit while we are ahead ...

I would say it is a good 75 percent that has dull reasoning skills, and even poorer capacity for fruitful and healthy communication.

I find it remarkable how some will answer your question with an insult.

It just gives me that warm and fuzzy feeling.

that's a two way street i am against illegal immigration and have asked a question before only to read something that had nothing to do with my question never mind all the hate mail so like i said it happens on both sides

I don't know what the other questions were, but it sounds like you summed it up - they are getting a chance to be back on their soap box, and put their 2 cents in (even exchange for 2 points - ha. just kidding.)
