How do you start your discussions?

Hello. This is something I dont hawe think about I try to make a quelety text, so the one who responds to my discussiun dont hawe give a one line respond but it is a little bit hard when I am not english spoken. Hawe a nice day.

I usually start-- well excuse me why I look over my posts ---sometimes asking a question or stating my problem. You see, even though you do not like questions or some kind of questions, what I do not like is people (usually from India which leads me to believe there is a great plot to get everyone except Indians off of myLot) who start something like this; 'the food you buy from the grocery store contains many pesticides which are dangerous for human conception. The effects of these is palpitation of the heart, boils appearing in the stomach, a strange blue rash on the groin area, followed by arms and legs dropping off ---' This continues for about three of four very scary paragraphs showing the pain suffered by the victims, after which they ask a question like ,"Do you buy your food at the grocery store or at the market?" So there are two discussions I find hard to answer, the yes and no ones and the very scary ones.

you know what sometimes i think we do it by reaction not thinking because you are asking a question or get to them i like to tell my story or situation and all then ask the question but somtimes being a natural thing i dont

i think of my own discussion to start to post many topics.

HI !!as for me i respond to every discussion i see if i have something to say and if it is in my interests.I have started discussions with 'Do you' and 'Can you' lots of times and got good responses..I dont mind if anybody starts their discussion with do you or can you or with anything always becoz i see the subject and topic.I made a habit of responding discussions with atleast 4 to 5 lines which helps to my earnings and have lots of information to say , if even the discussion is interested and dont have a chance to write descriptively i dont go for that.Smiles.

Hi ctrymuziklvr! :) In my case, I want thought-provoking discussions. Usually, I just jot down my thoughts and make a subject title on my discussions. My friends will respond what they think or their concerns and well-wishes. Most of the time, I start my discussion with having my suject line as a question. I start with "How..". And usually, I make a discussion subject as a question, but the content is more on thoughts and inspirational ones. :) I want those who comments to have something to share about their experiences and own thoughts! :) God bless!

You make a fantastic point, and I'd like to thank you for it. I've failed to pay attention to how I begin my discussions up until this point. I do know I steered away from yes and no answers, but now you've helped me become aware of the need to make the postings structured more toward recieving all possible input on the subject matter. Thanks again.

Actually it is the first time that i thve given it a thought. I ususlly just start off giving out my openion on things and then well ask people theirs. i Never thought of actually targeting any group.

I actually don't have a method into posting discussions. Whatever comes to me on the day I just post it. Sometimes it starts off with a question and other times its just a heading and then I ask questions at the end of the discussion. It doesn't bother me that I don't get most responses, I just feel good that I was able to post at least one question and have someone answer it LOL I am terrible when it comes to posting anything LOL

I usually try to start my discussions with an issue that might appeal to many people on myLot. Sometimes I get good responses-sometimes not. I have posted on discussions that I thought would be very thought-provoking only to receive very few responses. At other times I have posted on lukewarm subjects and the response was overwhelming. Go figure, LOL.

I always try to word my discussions in a way that I'll get more than a yes or no type answer...I've noticed discussions that have a "how do you..." but sometimes I've found that one can actually give a good response to say a how do you type thing, if they are asking some kind of tech question about say computers..And honestly, being the computer geek I am...beginning to think I should teach computers..LOL

I just looked back and I haven't started many in the same way at all. Sometimes it's with a question sometimes a story. I think asking a straight out question identical to the topic is lame...and boring. So I usually elaborate first and then finish with the question.

its easy my dear ctrymuziklvr.....just look around you now or into youself....for sure you have questions and at least about you life, your family or your neighbor? If you're smart enough, be creative in making new story just like Harry Poter....and post it a 'start a new discussion'....there are friends here will respond to your post...just like fish and bait...
