Do you respond to stupid discussions?

I underdtand you about facing the real world and wanting to come here and get away from it all. I have no problem with people starting or responding to silly discussions. After all there's only so much that there is to talk about here. Thanks for telling me about turning the notify off. I thought that was for sending people private messages.Don't I look stupid LOL.

NO, you don't look stupid. Just still new enough to not know. Hell, I've been here twice as long as you have & I'm still learning. When you stop learning, it is a very sad day!!!

Hi. Thanks for the info. Though I don't think I would like to do that. I'm already flooded with a lot of info as it is.

I just learned about the email notify option from someone else. I thought that was for private messages. I went to send one of my mylot buddies a private message and I saw his notify was off. I thought that meant I couldn't send him a message. Boy am I stupid LOL. I started a discussion about how pissed off I was with the government and how bad the economy is getting. And how they are wasting our hard earned tax dollars on this bailout crap. I sat back with a smile after writting my opinions and was waiting to see the millions of responses and opinions of everyone here. I got one stinking response. That sucks! But I start a discussion like this one and another one about stupid people look wearing their sunglasses at night time and I get over 3 pages of comments. D#mn simple minded fools LOL.

LOL. That's a good one. calling my discussion stupid.

I don't have a huge problem with stupid or silly discussions. I have started and responded to a few myself. I usually respond to these disussions with my own stupidity. The thing that pissed me off this partticular time is that I turn on my cell phone to check my email and I saw I had over a dozen new messages. They were all from mylot telling me that my mylot friend started a new discussion. They were all meaningless. This is the 3rd time this has happened from the same person. I don't have a problem with whatever type of discussions people start. In this guys case, he asks a question and always gives a one line comment. The topic of his discussion will be "Do you like chicken or steak" And he'll say " I like steak because it's salty" And that's it. All of his discussions are pretty much like that. And he doesn't respond to the people who leave comments on his discussions. People here are free to do what they want. But when I see that a person starts a silly one line comment discussion and doesn't respond to the some of the people that take the time to leave him a few comments, it shows me that he is only looking to get a bunch of respones to get his earnings up and could care less about peoples opinions. I am motivated to come here and get my earnings up as well, but I mostly like to here the opinions of others when I start a discussion or respond to one. I do get annoyed sometime when I respond to someones discussion and I dont' get a response back. But it happens.It is a free country and I have no problem with how people here spend their time. I just learned to turn off this guys email notify so I won't get alerted when he starts a disussion. I'm sorry if you were under the impression that I was trying to tell people here that they didn't have the right to talk about whatever is on their minds.

Don't feel bad. I asked if anyone can give me some input on the new black berry phones that just came out and I got nothing as well. There is a website called Allexperts.com. You can go there and ask a question about anything. Just find an expert who specailizes in the category you are loking for. Like in your case you have a question about your cell phone. There is this expert on that site named Debin. She has given me some very helpful answers to my questions about certain cell phones. I think she is the only expert there that specializes in the cell phone deprtment.

I also like to respond to other discussions with a little humor most of the time even if it's a serious one. But I always leave a serious comment afterwards. As far as the open mindedness, I do question the inteligence of most of the people here when I see the amount of responses that these stupid discussons get. Like I see over 38 responses to a discussion that was started 2 minutes ago about what's your favorite colored crayon. It's funny to see how long ago a discussion was started and and how many responses they have already.

I don't really mind what type of discusions people start. I respond to the silly and stupid ones as well as the serious ones. I was just annoyes with this one person besause this was the 3rd time my email inbox was full of dumb discussions he started. But I just learned that I have to turn his notify off on my friends page so it won't happen again. I have seen some stupid questions asked be people here and I do ignore them. But it's hard to ignore when you get a bum rush of emails.

I agree with you wholly on those one liner discussions which carries weight. Even with one simple sentence you can elaborate it further and add up to lots of ideas which can be meaningful and catchy and does not bore the readers.

I have no problem with stupid or silly discussions. As you can see I had alot to say about this topic. The guy I was talikng about starts has very little to add when he starts his discussions. He'll start one that says " Do you like eggs" And he'll say "I like to make egg salad". And that's it. All of his discussions have those one line comments. It just annoyed the hell out of me because my email was filled up with a dozen discussions that he started and they were all just like that one. I know people here are mostly trying to get their earnings up. i have no problem with that. But at least have a little more to add to your topic than just some one line 4 word sentence. And then sit back and wait for everyone to respond. But I just learned how to turn this guys email notify off on my freinds list so that problem is solved. Don't get me wrong, I start silly discussions as well as the so called ones that require people to use their brain cells. But whatever conversation I start, I try to have alot to add to it rather than just some one line sentence. I started a discussion asking about sunglasses asking " Are they for fashion or to keep the sun out of your eyes". My main thing about this is I notice how people wear their shades at nigth when they go to the club. It looks stuoid to me to have on a pair of shades when the sun isn't out. I saw a guy in best buy one day with his Versace shades on. It looked stupid to have them on in the store with no sunlight. My point is I had a lot to say about this topic. Instead of me saying something like " I like to wear my sunglasses at night". I know that's what this guy I'm talking about would have done. If your gonna tell us you like to wear your shades at night, tell us why. Give us somethihng more interesting to work with.
