Don't you hate those discussions that you don't even understand?

Gosh, I had been clicked on a couple of posted discussions, and I really don't understand what they tried to tell me. It just hard for me to answer and posted my response to it. I don't even tried to imagine what they were saying. So, I just navigate away, instead of response it in blind direction. Otherwise, they might just gave me a negative rating on it. Don't you hate it, click on some discussions that you have no idea of what they really saying?

I don't hate it but I don't particularly like it I think. I will try to read it and respond though.

i hate the ones where the english is very poor and it is hard to understand what they are trying to say. i tend to avoid those discussions because i just dont think they are worth the penny or two that i would get trying to decifer and answer them.

Yeah, I have seen a few discusions that are way over my head. I am not the smartest guy on the block and some discusions are way out of my league. I leave those for the more inteligent MyLotters to respond to. I respond to those within my reach. I don't want to try and be smart and end up making a fool of myself with a stupid respose. Answer what you can and leave the rest for those who understand. Blessings

You mean discussions like this one that don't much sense or are you referring to discussions that require advanced mental processes?

i don't normally respond to all discussions though some discussion topics look interesting while the content look absurd, i try to respond to such discussions the way i view them and i try to use my brain to complete it, it may not make any sense or agree with the discussion but i am sure the writer of the discussion will figure it out

There are many discussions which I dont understand...that's OK for me coz mylot is a global community and people here often post on topics which are local for them but not for me...I have no inkling of what they are saying so I just dont answer those posts...that's all. There are plenty of others to choose from.

i don't find it bad when i see any discussion which i am not understanding. i just navigate from the page and look for another good discussion where my opinion will count or i have a proper answer for that..There are people who wants to reach their payout soon, that's why they do this kind of things i suppose.

No, I don't hate it. Here in Mylot there are a lot of people from different countries and races. Most of them English is a foreign language. That's why they commit some mistakes and finds it hard to express their thoughts properly. Definitely it's hard to answer and post a response to it if you don't understand what they are saying. Just move out of that discussion and go to the next one.

Quite often I stick with a post where obviously the person doesn't have English as a first language - quite often they have the most interesting things to say! The posts from India, especially, I find incredibly spiritual and motivating. I've yet to find a post that's too high brow, but those I pass on are: a) Those that use txt spk one liners (not too many of those here) b) Those with hundreds of lines of text and no paragraph gaps - or even paragraphs! Jeeze, I'm sure what you're saying is extremely interesting, but ... my eyes, man! c) Spammers who join just to promote their website or ask for referrals.

I ignore those kind of discussions. I believe alot of discussions, some of us can't understand, are by people who's english isn't good. There is no piont to do any responses to those types of discussions. I have had the problem,a few times, where I got responses that made no sense at all! I've guessed they were by someone who doesn't understnad english to well! I guess it goes both ways!

Hahaha. I know what you mean. Most of the time, I just ignore it especially if it seems harmless. I try my best to the best of my knowledge and understanding to get what they're trying to say, but if I really can't I just move on to the next discussion.

Yes,I get aggravated with that.I felt like I just wasted my time.When I could have been reading a discussion that I really understand.And giving my opinion and earning some money as well as possibly making another friend.
