In some Question -Answer forum in Internet I see the following questions quite often.
1. What is my name?
2. What is the time now?
3. What is your name?
4. Will X marry me?
5. Is Y is in love with me?
Whenever I see such questions, I skip them. I just do not bother. I use to think why people post such questions?

Hi ravisivan
Perhaps because they are simply that answer and questions sites?? I prefer myLot because I like discussions. I like the back and forth interaction because I find that along the lines of a discussion there is something to be thought about as well as learned from it.
I am not a simple chat type of person, where as I apply a great many detail to my conversations. Since I type as I think I cannot respond with a simple answer anywhere, even amongst offline friends.
Therefore I too would avoid those type of questions.

Agree~ We are not here acting like a reporter who ask questions and get satisfied with single answer~ Even real reporter will ask for more explanations~ That is why I love Mylot because the way they showed the flow of the discussions make me attached and glued to it. In other forums they will keep asking the same simple and irrelevant questions and I don't see if I can reply back to that person and he/she knows that I am referring to him/her~ We have no ideas at all~

As much as I like to think, speak and type. Quick answers is something I simply can't do.
I am way too detailed even when I speak.

Thankfully, MyLot is different. It is not a 'Question and Answer' site and such questions usually do not constitute valid discussions and will be deleted.
Why do people post such questions? I suppose because, at some time or another, we ALL have questions like this (which really have no answer) running around our heads. Because typing/posting/writing down such questions somehow makes them feel more 'real' or even more 'dealt with', people will always do this. It is not that they expect to get any good or useful answers. It is REALLY a kind of self-gratification.

An excellent observation indeed: " It is not that they expect to get any good or useful answers. It is REALLY a kind of self-gratification." have a great day.

The 2 number question what is the time now to know the longitude of the place and how far the time is from the GMT. The other related question, I also do not post and I do like to answer to those question. MyLot has given us place to post quality posting to know one another and exchange our views on various matters with in the discussion guidelines or terms of use.

Great people say to ask such questions to oneself to do better in life.I think you might had already heard about such things.Sometimes in every one s life a time will come when they start asking to themselves such questions.
We can not help them not to get such questions in life.If we can respond its good if not then also its good.It depends on how we understand the discussion.

They just can't think of anymore topic to post or other than that, they're probably just bored.

Hi kimi!
They should not post that too if they can't think of any other topics. We can't even answer that question if they ask so~ Perhaps they are lazy to write more~ I am lazy to start a discussion too but I would rather not posting any than write those questions in~

Too many questions. I don't get personal with alot of people on the internet. The main people who ask these questions are lonely and bored and want some companionship AND people who have sick fantasies and like stalking people via computer. I'd be careful not to reveal too much information with random people.

Those are uninteresting topic to discuss but if one is still new in a forum site those are simple question to be answered~ Even if we do think that such are useless question but for some people those are such an opening speech. That is why we keep seeing the same question over and over again~~
