Why are people so gullible as to believe some of the obvious?

TROLLS on here? The person that said that their baby drank a whole bottle of cough syrup and couldn't afford to take their baby to the ER because they spent their money on meth. Do you really think that someone would actually post that question if it was real? The only way to get rid of these people is to report them and get them banned and not answer their asinine questions.

    If it sounds fishy I usually look at their profile and previously asked questions...

    I especially love when people talk about their family and their questions, and they go from having 12 kids to have 3, now they are expecting twins, but in another question they are a grandmother, and oops, last week they were a husband to someone with this issue and that issue.

    Do people not realize that others will catch on and report them?

    Many people today have no life and become assuctomed to being bored. They start to ask contraversial and uncomfortable questions to start a flame of people's reaction. These people are only looking for a reaction to fulfill their boring lives. The best thing you can do is not answer them at all, keep them bored.

    (I remember one mother was asking if she should go to her daughter funeral becuase she wasn't sure because she never even wanted to have her in the first place. Calling her a pain in the a**. ) It all is pretty ridiculous. Who would want to waste their time on these people who are doing nothing more but messing with others heads?
