Intelligent Conversation

United States

Everything I have seen on here so far is just do you like this or that. Why don't people actually write something worth writing. How about reporting strange news from your area of the world, or cute new jokes, or even recipes. Something we can actually learn from????

I completely agree with you, it is such a shame that there isnt more more people here who are after a intelligent conversation instead of that mindless jabber "Do you like me" "Will you miss me" like seriously more of then half of us wouldnt even know these people and we are being asked if we like them and if we will miss them now come on!

God, I was scared I was going to invoke the wrath of mylot upon me when I posted this, but come on. I am a member of Gather and although I like the thought of earning cash, I can't take all the mindless people on here. Thank you for posting.

I try to add something intelligent to the posts I respond to. I don't just give one word answers. I also start discussions that I am curious about and think would be interesting to see what others think about.

Itotally agree with you. The problem is that people (including me) come here not to discuss mainly, rather we come here to make some quick money. Intelligence is not our goal,its money and anything you post, you are going to get points for it. Unless mylot change the rules, we are going to see similar nonsense here

Some people do ask intelligent questions and begin intelligent conversations. Unfortunately, sometimes the intelligent questions go over people’s heads and get no responses. You need to search for them. And when you do find one, add the questioner to your friends list so you can easily find their questions in the future.

I agree with you but you must understand that we are in a kind of community where members can express themselves in whatever way they like. Your business is to respond to whichever turns you on. Some people like all that stuff, you know and their choices should be respected with all due respect. I think I've started various discussions that you find worthwhile. So go to my profile and have fun!

Sad to say but it really loses the point of having a "DISCUSSION SITE". As if that everyone's just in for the money. In fact, earning from this is a come on but may I suggest that atleast you make something out of it..post topics that is worth to discuss. By this, YOU LEARN WHILE EARNING.

Why knock the topics people choose, perhaps it not as intelligent as you like, or what you would consider of interest but for some it is..Don't be too harsh on folks here..everyone here is trying to create community on line.

I guess things only change when mylot modified their tos or stopping paying. To some people using their brain and type something useful takes too much time. If you can get paid by spamming, why type something useful?
