Do you ever find yourself...

Going into a discussion that you have no intention of answering because you don't know the answer but want to find out what the answer is? I know to some that would be a waste of time because you are not "earning any money" but it is worthwhile to me because if I'm lucky I'll learn something new.

You are so right. I am just naturally curious. Trivia is something I sort of collect, because you never have to dust it. I think the vast amount of available info is part of what has me hooked on myLot. The money will kind of go into a fund for something special, and that will motivate me to post and discuss, too.

I agree with eveyone else. I spend more time reading other discussions than posting. I too have learned some interesting things. I also think this is a great way to learn about other countries and traditions elsewhere. There are also times when I go into a discussion thainking that I want to respond but after reading through it I find that what I wanted to say has already been said. I don't really like to post just to repeat what other people have to say. I feel that I have to have something new to say. The earning money here at mylot is simply a bonus to me. It is the community, knowledge and humor that keeps me here and actively reading even if I am not as active posting.

I certainly look at topics where the answer is unknown to me, as I enjoy learning something new every day. Many times, I find what my guess is for the topic question is way off and am glad I didn't guess the answer.

The was a great response because I also had been glad I did't answer.

Yes, this has happened a couple of times. There were a few interesting discussions which I of course didn't know how to answer or had an intention of answering. Few articles or trivia ones catch my eye. But I don't go through every trivia question that's out there..its obvious that person is taking his questions from some trivia site!! I've learnt a few tidbits here and there.

Oh I do that all that time! I love to do research. Learning something new everyday is my goal. The time it takes doesn't bother me. I won't become rich off this site no matter how much time I spend posting, so I rather post and research together. Thanks for asking, I thought maybe I was the only one on here that was doing that.

I agree because I don't know everything and don't have all the answers and enjoy learning.

Yeah, sometimes I do. It's because while earning money is good, learning is better, and what I learn can help me forever, whereas earning money just helps me when I earn it.
@Priceless (1277)

Yes, I do do that, And I'll try reply even if I have little knowledge, Cos sooner or later, that money will be gone, but learning something new will stick by you for the rest of you life I suppose.

Found the identity meaning that becoming humankind that actually, because that was known by me from my Religious Teacher that the person who found teak himself found his lord, and in the article that was read by me from my holy scripture that that knew himself to be the person that close to the Lord, so how will have an attitude like the lord?? The lord maha pengam also, maha pengasih, maha the lover and maha forgave his slave, so when wanting to find your identity then did goodness then you will be close and will find said your identity.

I'm sorry and I'm not trying to be ugly but I don't have clue what you are talking about so I looked at your profile to see if it would help me understand. That was no help because I don't even understand what your dicussion topics are about.

At first I didn't understand your response. You must be taking "find" literally and therefore if you are lost you can find yourself in the mirror by seeing your own reflection. That is not what I meant by "find" but thank you for your response.

I really like ur discussions a lot. It is something worth replying for haha. Anyway if your purpose of joining here is to earn money then you would probably not reply to that topic because you will find it really boring to do and it is a waste of time reading everything there. But for others that has the purpose of learning and discovering new things that would be a very good thing to do. Sometimes for you to be able to answer you also need to do these things. If you want to share something about that topic but don't have any knowledge on the topic being discussed. In the way that you will "Earn and Learn." I think that's a good quote haha. That is the purpose of myLot and that is why a lot of people joins the community. Thanks for posting this topic!

Where in the world did you get the idea I didn't like your attitude?

Maybe I just found myself being a fan of your discussions so that's why I have made something kinda similar to the discussions you have started. I am sorry if you don't like my attitude.
