mrsfarmer asked in Yahoo ProductsYahoo Answers · 1 decade ago

why do people ask questions here before looking it up on the internet themselves?

Update:

i also don't know why some people (glenda) get rude, this is the first ? i ever asked. so i'm not a pot calling anything black! it just seems like some people ask ?'s here before trying to look it up. i think it's fun answering ?'s. I'm not complaining.

Update 2:

and i was not ranting!

    I hope they join me. It is so nice to see other peoples opinions. Sometimes they are more accurate then what is on the internet. Some people are lonely and it is good as a conversation.Sometimes it is nice their is someone (a stranger that cares for you) who cares.Sometimes this is like a family to them.When they have no one.

    Because they prefer the human touch and this is easier. And, besides, if every body did as you suggest then this site would be a blank screen.

    And if you had asked this question on a mental health site, as you should have first, we wouldn't be privy to your rantings either.
