Why answer a question if youre not answering the question?

by that i mean... IF you dont drink, why answer a question about drinking and start it with "i don't drink, but..." but what? i mean, if you don't drink, why bother answering, if the question is ABOUT drinking? Or if you see a question about being pregnant, and youre a single guy, why are you answering? just to make a silly remark? I dont get the point... maybe im missing something.

    Probably for a variety of reasons. To be funny, to be contrary, for the points, to be noticed, who knows. The answers that always amaze me are the Yankee haters who know nothing about baseball so they resort to the infamous comment, "Yankees suck". Now that's an answer none of us need! lol

  • I really do think the deciding factor is the underlying suicide of our national economy along with a presidential race being run by foreign powers to cover up obvious alien and UFO occurrences witnessed in the downtown New York City area during the past St Patricks Day parade because everyone was drinking EXCEPT the idiot who was sitting at home in their boxer shorts dropping asinine answers on Yahoo Answers simply to annoy the hell out of The Kimmer which is, in my personal opinion, is just stupid.

    What was the question again?

    It seems that when the question is about a "vice" such as drinking, 95% of the answers that start out that way are using the topic as an excuse to preach. Can't say I care to read those "answers".

    If you are going to just leave a silly mark without actually answering the question, then at least make sure it's funny.

    Also, for some reason some people on here truly believe they get something for points.

    Seeing is believing and its not that u don't drink and u cannot talk about drinking. I can answer questions about poverty doesn't mean that i am poor and i have gone through poverty and only then i can answer about poor people and poverty. What we see is enough to convert it into belief. only answering for points is nothing as u r not getting any financial benefit from it . Those who know u can answer and answer well they know it .(asker

    One day a fisherman got up very early in the morning. There was not enough sunlight to go out to sea. He stepped on a pack of stones…so to pass time. He started throwing the stone into the sea. While having the last stone in the hand, the sun came up and he saw that the stone was a diamond. He cursed his misfortune of throwing all of them into the sea... Moral of the story: Below ********************* Do not get up early in the morning....!!!.

    There could be many reasons and honestly I have caught myself doing it on occasion as well.

    One reason could just be plain out thinking your funny. (Okay, that's not always the case....you might just be funny to yourself and that's it....which is what usually happens in my case LOL)

    Another reason could be a genuine sense of trying to help, even when you really don't know (again, Im guilty).

    I am sure there are lots of other reasons, but it is too early LOL.
