Why do people answer questions with nonsense?

Answer 1

Because a small minority of people are (a) too immature to understand the difference between a sensible question and nonsense, (b) just here to impress their school friends on how silly they can be or (c) they're intent on deliberately posting nonsense in the vain attempt to bring this site to a halt !

Answer 2

There could be many reasons for this, but in my opinion, people either:

A) Do not know how to use their own brain, and would rather use mine.

or

B) Know that I'm bored and am lurking around to answer their pointless questions.

Answer 3

Because - sadly, there will always be a tiny minority of idiots on here ! WikiAnswers is an 'open' site that currently does not require every user to register. This creates the problem that 'vandals' can 'hide' behind anonymous web-addresses - safe in the knowledge that it's unlikely they'll be caught.

Whilst us supervisors have the power to block people AND web-sites from contributing, blocking a web-site prevents every user at that location. Therefore - if the vandal is at a school - all pupils at that school would be prevented from using this site.

Answer 4

Most people's reason for asking random questions is to observe the response they get when they ask them.

Answer 5

Ultimately, because they feel the need to be funny and crude. They picture the site more as a joke, something they regret after finding out their account has been blocked.

Answer 6

This question is nonsense, but think, "why do people ask nonsense"?
