Question

Why do people provide opinions instead of answers?

Answer 1

It's actually a good question-see right there I gave an opinion-the questioner didn't need to know what I thought of the question. The answer is: people want to believe that they have acquired a certain amount of wisdom throughout their lives...otherwise what the hell is the point of it all?

Answer 2

For the same reason you felt the need to throw your two cents in as a question? :)

Answer 3

In my opinion they do it to make themselves feel important .

Answer 4

well if you ask of course your goin to recieve an opinion whether it be up here or anywhere else.

Answer 5

Because most answers are opinions unless backed by facts. Facts are data which are agreed upon by common belief, empirical or otherwise.

Answer 6

Individuals often interpret their opinion as education, or that of being educated. It is often an accumulation of experience without a great deal of reflection. Most mean well and it depends much on which society a person lives in.
