Are there religious/spiritual reasons that some people don't take the time to read questions before answering?

I think that there are many <A>holes that <B>itch way too much and am sure that they really don't give a <C>rap about most questions but think that they're <D>amned smart about pretty much <E>verything.

Try to not get too upset about it, o'great one.

Yes. It's called Divine Laziness, and Ignorant Design.

Ignorant Design comes into it when people answer a completely different question to what was asked, or choose to rant instead of answering. A lovely example I once had was a cut'n'paste that filled the page, but did not answer the question at all.

I've also had a few people who completely ignore the question itself, and just say stuff like 'I agree'. Okay, you agree. Fair enough, now would you like to tell me your answer at any time?

Divine Laziness is the other great religious reason for not reading. It takes the form of a question format (I'll steal your example):

Q: Why don't Xs ever seem to tolerate Ys?

QD: I don't personally think there's many Xs who dislike Ys, it's just a small minority who tend to be extremely rude and disgusting in their attitudes. A case of the noisiest few, so to speak. What's your opinion on this?

A: We're not ALL like that!!! Stop being so judgemental!!

ummmm.....READ IT NEXT TIME!!!!

lol.

((((hugs))))

Nope, no real spiritual reason. Sometimes I just find it humorous to answer the question 'as seen' without the additional details.

I am often guilty of that.

I go by the header question, unless it is really interesting.

I admit, im sorry, but even this question i didn't fully read ( i did read like half, something about breaking up with alia)

i was catching [z]'s while reading your lengthy details. nothing personal, it's been a long day.

oh, and people in polls and surveys are worse because they don't cut and paste.

I can't believe you're breaking up with me! Whyyyyyyy????? You don't want to take the time to be with me?

Isn't that what you said?

(scans above question)

Oh. Ummm....

I LOVE YOU VISHAL!

Final Answer: Uneducated Ignorance.

Maybe it is because they are just looking for the "points" in answers.

Or, maybe they are out of their league in this specific area of "answers" and rambling on makes them feel as though they are participating.

We may never know the real answer to this one, but you make a real good point!!

Yes...I do it all the time. It has to do with my spiritual lack of patience I am trying to develop and my smart@$$ way of life. Sometimes when the question is super long I will just skim it.

What are you going on about! Prehaps I would have actually read what you've written, if it wasn't so long!
